The Years I Spent Saving the Male Lead

Just as Pei Wenwen was about to starve to death on the streets, she was bound to a respectable System and given a mission: save the pitiful male lead of The Way of the Official.

The System told her that once she saved the poor guy, she would get a huge treasure and reach the pinnacle of life! But things weren't that simple.

Disguised as a man, Pei Wenwen went undercover by the male lead's side, working diligently to help him escape a kidnapping, save his teammates, and bring him delicious food and comfort!!!

And now, System, you want her to offer herself to him too?! QAQ

Pei Wenwen, an upright member of society, refused!

Little Scene:

During the Qixi Festival, young men and women enjoyed a romantic night beneath the flowers and moon. Pei Wenwen, back in women's clothing, watched the male lead approach her with a lotus lantern, confessing his love beneath a sky full of glowing fireflies.

"Miss, I... have feelings for you."

"..."

Pei Wenwen: System, can I still make a run for it?

System: Unfortunately, Host, according to the System's calculations, it's already too late.

In a nutshell: A story about a male lead who pretends to be pitiful while secretly pining for a zany heroine.

Blurb One: Gu Qingqing had a bad habit: she couldn't walk past a piece of jade without stopping.

Even after she transmigrated into the blind, lame, and evil villainess who had already been sent to her death by the reborn heroine, she still couldn't shake the habit. If anything, it got worse.

At the time, Gu Qingqing was confined to an estate, her eyes covered with white silk. Sensing the presence of jade, she excitedly rushed outside. Even if she couldn't see it, she had to touch it!

Then she felt her way to a man as exquisite as fine jade. Unable to control herself, Gu Qingqing pounced on him and knocked him to the ground.

Afterward...

Gu Qingqing regretted it. She regretted it very much...

Blurb Two: The second son of the Wei family was tall and graceful, and as beautiful as a flawless piece of jade. When he came of age, the jade Guanyin he carved made him famous throughout the capital, and people praised him as the Jade Buddha.

All the noblewomen of the capital secretly loved him.

Everyone thought that a man like him ought to marry an elegant and virtuous noblewoman.

Until the second son of the Wei family presented a delicate jade figurine he had carved with his own hands as a betrothal gift, asking to marry the sickly fake heiress whom everyone in the capital despised, a girl who could barely walk without gasping for breath. He treasured her and doted on her.

The second son of the Wei family left everyone speechless.

Only Wei Zuo knew that though he could carve Buddhas and Guanyin, and engrave the vast landscape of the empire, what he most wanted to carve was every enchanting expression of his Qingqing.

And after experiencing it firsthand, Gu Qingqing also learned that the aloof second son of the Wei family, praised by the world as the Jade Buddha, was in private a rule-breaking Asura. (A sweet, snarky heroine x a cool, seemingly innocent but actually scheming hero)

Theme: A gentleman's friendship is as light as water. But the friendship between a zany lady gentleman and a secretly scheming gentleman can sometimes be much more than that. Whatever happens, the outcome is happy, and everyone is glad to see it.
