Holding the Script of a Sweet Romance Heroine

|Quirky thought process × refined scoundrel| |Old flames catch fire at full blast| |Updates and other news: Weibo @Jinjiang Xiao Duoli| Du Mingcha has been handed the script of a tragic-romance villainess, but she refuses to follow it. Forced to live with her relatives, her cousin scolds her for being less docile than his adopted sister: "If you won't change, don't call me your brother." Du Mingcha is overjoyed. "It's a deal!" Her cousin: "...Come back!" Her elders have picked out a "prospective boyfriend" for her, but he has a soft spot for an innocent white flower and threatens her to give up an opportunity: "If you don't give it to her, I won't marry you." Du Mingcha is ecstatic. "A double celebration!" Her "prospective boyfriend": "...Come back!" Once she's free again, Du Mingcha falls for a man whose looks are like snow atop a lofty peak and whose refined air is like clouds drifting beyond the world. One day, she's out shopping with her arm linked through his when they run into her "former prospective boyfriend." Just as she's about to make introductions, the "former prospective boyfriend" turns ashen. "No need. This is my second uncle." Du Mingcha: This is a violation of filial piety. Only belatedly realizing what she's done, Du Mingcha flees by plane in the middle of the night, but the man hauls her into his car. The sternly handsome man removes his gloves and leisurely loosens his tie. "Mingcha, I never taught you to eat and run." - Before they start dating, Shen Huaiyu promises that he'll give her the life of a sweet-romance heroine. After they get together, Du Mingcha realizes it's indeed very sweet. It's just the kind of sweetness you get from a certain fragrant website's novels: 1v1, extra sweet, extra wholesome. QAQ - Shen Huaiyu has severe face blindness. To him, everyone's face is cold gray and featureless, with flat lines. Until he accidentally sees Du Mingcha, the fiancée of a younger relative in the family. Skin white as snow, eyes clear as water, bright and lovely. The only color in a gray world. She makes everything shine. *Do you know that every glance I cast your way is anything but innocent?* |The heroine thinks she's a typical tragic-romance villainess. The hero tries to make her realize she's the heroine of a sweet romance. Only the second male lead believes he's holding the script for a groveling redemption arc, only to discover in the end that even his ashes have been scattered.| Important warnings to read before you start: 1. Eight-year age gap and size difference. This is not a realistic story, so neither of them has an ex. 2. The male lead has severe face blindness and steals someone else's love. Both leads have their own strengths, flaws, and weaknesses. Neither is perfect. 3. A silly, comedic style, written mainly for fun. The author is serious, but the story may not be. 4. I earn money to support the cats at home. If you spot any bugs, please point them out gently; I'll be very grateful. I hope we can communicate peacefully and maintain a pleasant reading environment together. ---Coming next: *Kiss the Gloomy Beauty*--- "Sweet Little Sunshine × Gloomy, Mad Beauty" After her adoptive family abandons her, Nan Xing is sent to live with the Shen family.
