My first attempt at a romance-focused story. Please read with caution if you don't like rough writing.

Yin Jianjia transmigrates into a book as a cannon-fodder supporting heroine.
In the story, she is the pampered, spoiled legitimate daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's family. Madly infatuated with the antagonist, Xiao Mian, she does everything she can to torment him while he's badly wounded and unconscious, eventually bringing about the destruction of her entire family.
As luck would have it, she transmigrates right into the scene where she's about to do something stupid.
To save her own life, she decides to turn the scene of her impending disaster into a rescue.
Just as she reaches for his wound, the great antagonist suddenly opens his eyes.
"You have to believe me. I really was only trying to bandage you." Yin Jianjia slowly pulls her hand back, but Xiao Mian grabs it.

Xiao Mian had planned to kill Yin Jianjia, but a voice in his head claiming to be the System stopped him and told him to win her favor to stay alive.
If Yin Jianjia's favorability toward him remains below zero, he'll be ground to dust.
Only if her favorability reaches the maximum can he survive.
To save his own life, Xiao Mian decides to pursue Yin Jianjia relentlessly and raise her favorability.
And so...
Xiao Mian: I killed the person who bullied you a while ago. Before he died, I tortured him for three days and three nights. He died in agony. Are you moved?
Yin Jianjia (face deathly pale): I'm not moved. Not at all.
Xiao Mian: This treasured blade can cut through iron like mud. I tested it for you. It can chop off a person's limbs without any effort. It's yours.
Yin Jianjia (bursts into tears)
Xiao Mian: You're crying because you're moved? Then why did your favorability go down instead of up...
Goofy, money-loving cutie * love-struck, clueless yandere antagonist (blurb backed up)
Content warning: The male lead is somewhat deranged early on.

Coming next: Reborn and Married to a Foolish Prince to Bring Him Good Fortune. Please add it to your reading list~
An imperial decree set the capital ablaze with gossip: Ruan Jiaojiao, the capital's number-one beauty, had been ordered to marry the foolish Second Prince, Su Qing, to bring him good fortune.
Everyone lamented that fate was cruel and sighed for the beautiful girl.
Ruan Jiaojiao woke to the sound of her parents crying and opened her eyes to find herself reborn at sixteen.
In her previous life, she had acted spoiled and feigned foolishness, forcing her father, the prime minister, to persuade the emperor to change the decree and marry her to the man she loved, the First Prince, Su Yu.
Su Yu loved her so much that he couldn't bear to touch her, and often called her Jiao Jiao.
She corrected him, saying it was Jiao Jiao with a different tone, but Su Yu only smiled.
It was not until Su Yu took the throne and pardoned the late emperor's consorts that she saw a face seven-tenths similar to her own.
Su Yu kissed that person and softly called her Jiao Jiao.
Only then did Ruan Jiaojiao understand that she had been nothing but a substitute.
Now that she had the good fortune to live again, she sat before the mirror and arranged her makeup, making herself breathtakingly beautiful.
Then she smiled, walked out the door, and accepted the decree to marry the prince and bring him good fortune.
*
Su Qing was born to the late empress. Though he was a prince, the Noble Consort interfered, and he suffered humiliation from a young age.
Though born behind vermilion gates and red walls, he was trapped in a filthy mire, unable to move.
To survive, he cut off all affection and chose to feign foolishness.
Who could have imagined that an imperial decree would send his beloved, the moonlight he had long yearned for, right to his side?
From then on, he would pluck that radiant moon from the heavens, keep her safe, and make her the moon in his palm, his alone.
