The Cannon-Fodder Wife Finds the Female Lead’s Heavenly Book

Original title: The Cousin Never Loved Him (Female Supporting Character)

A genuine, naive local innocent girl × a genuine, reborn big villain

Mu Qingqing happens upon a heavenly book and discovers that she is in a world inside a book.

In the book, she's rich, beautiful, and well-born. The first half of her life goes smoothly: she marries the man of her dreams, and by the time her husband becomes chancellor, she has been granted a first-rank title. Everyone in the capital envies her, and she enjoys unmatched glory.

But when she turns to the second half, she discovers that it has nothing to do with her at all.

That's because the heroine of the story is Shen Nanshuang. She will become entangled in one deep, painful romance after another with a refined crown prince, a devoted chancellor, a young general, and many other exceptional men, before ultimately embarking on an empress's path where she kills any god or Buddha in her way.

Mu Qingqing, meanwhile, is the disposable wife of the book's male lead, the devoted chancellor, and an obstacle in the leads' romance. After accidentally discovering her husband in bed with the heroine, who is still the empress dowager at the time, she is put to death with a cup of poisoned wine.

Mu Qingqing: ...?

Mu Qingqing: Shouldn't I try to save this situation?

But for some reason, Mu Qingqing does nothing, and nothing happens to her. Her life carries on as smoothly as ever, and in the end she marries the man of her dreams...

It's just that he isn't the man she was originally meant to marry.

Zhao Yi hid his feelings for someone for his entire life. When he heard of her death, he fought his way back from the northern frontier, supported a puppet child emperor, toppled corrupt officials and a treacherous empress, and slaughtered everyone who had ever wronged her.

But once peace reigned and the world prospered, Zhao Yi stood watch at her grave year after year and suddenly felt that none of it meant anything.

In a world without her, even living had no meaning.

Then he closed his eyes, opened them, and returned to a world where she was still alive.

[Reading Guide]

1. This is not a transmigrate-into-a-book story, and contains no transmigration elements.

2. The heroine grows over the course of the story. She is a plot-device female supporting character in the original book, so she will be very wooden at first. (If that's not for you, proceed with caution.)

3. The hero is head over heels for our heroine!

☆ Up next: Everyone Says I Wronged Him After I Lost My Memory

[An apparently normal but secretly unhinged, scheming hero × an apparently spoiled but actually goofy, adorable heroine]

When Helan Xi fell off a bridge, she accidentally hit the bridge's guardian lion and woke up with amnesia.

Everyone said it was because she'd done too many wicked things, and now Heaven had finally punished her.

Helan Xi: I don't remember anything, but I must be a kind soul, pure as a white lotus.

As it turned out, she had a terrible reputation. She'd always relied on the indulgence of her maternal aunt, the empress, and her elder brother, the crown prince. Not only had she ground a hostage prince from another kingdom beneath her heel, she had also carried on a secret flirtation with her future brother-in-law, and even tried to seduce her refined and upright stepbrother. Her fiance was so furious he demanded to break off their engagement on the spot and swore never to have anything to do with her again.

Helan Xi: Oh, forget I said anything.

Later, one after another, these people cornered her at the wall. She thought they had come for revenge, but one offered her a paper parcel of crispy fried chicken, another had tucked away a little handkerchief she'd embroidered herself, and, most outrageous of all, her fiance flung their marriage contract in her face and insisted she take responsibility for him.

Helan Xi: ...???

☆ Upcoming story 2: The Cherished Guest

Wei Chongzhi, an instructor at the Imperial College, is an old-fashioned curmudgeon. He's over thirty and still unmarried, and his family elders are so worried their hair has gone white. Someone comes up with the brilliant idea of bringing a beautiful, gentle, and considerate cousin from their hometown to the capital, to warm his bed and his heart.

Wei Chongzhi politely replies: Get lost.

Unexpectedly, the cousin who arrives from far away is gorgeous as peach blossoms. She may be beautiful, but she eats nothing but rare delicacies, wears nothing but splendid silks, and sleeps only with jade pillows and silk bedding. She's so spoiled and extravagant that she's not the least bit gentle or considerate.

Wei Chongzhi: Look how they've spoiled her.

His family starts making a fuss, threatening to take away her fine food and clothes and remove her soft bedding and fragrant pillows.

She turns to leave, and Wei Chongzhi hurries to bring her back by the hand: Let's keep spoiling her after all.

Theme: Cherish the person by your side.
