After awakening, a paranoid heartthrob who only wants to save herself vs. a dark-hearted tyrant who has to win over the heroine to stay alive, only to get won over himself

Synopsis: Song Zhen transmigrates into a book, becoming the heroine's wicked stepsister in Reborn: Spoiled and Adored.

By the time she arrives, the story is already well into its middle section. After failing to climb into the male lead's bed, the wicked stepsister is instead framed. Her aunt, the Imperial Consort, is thoroughly disappointed in her, and her family abandons her, preparing a bowl of medicine to send her on her way. Just then, an imperial decree marries her off to an infamous old man.

The old man eats raw meat and drinks blood, and his whole body is suffused with murderous intent, as if he were a demon from the underworld... He is also the future villain who is about to rebel.

But on their wedding night, after seeing the old man for the first time, Song Zhen says: “Wonderful! I can do this!”

Lu Shen marries Song Zhen by imperial order and plans to leave her wherever in the rear courtyard, letting her do as she pleases.

On their first wedding night, the young woman, with her bewitching looks and peerless beauty, has barely approached Lu Shen when he pushes her away without ceremony. In a cold voice, he adds, “I was injured as a child. I’m incapable.”

Later...

He builds her a golden house, raises jade towers, and searches the world for its rarest treasures, all for the darling he holds in the palm of his hand.

A little scene:

Song Zhen: “My lord, I made this nourishing soup for you. Drink it while it’s hot.”

Lu Shen: “Don’t be ridiculous. You can’t just eat things like this carelessly.”

The next moment: “Stop crying. I’ve already finished it.”

At last, the old man, who has been awake all night, says: “It’s fine to make that soup once in a while. Don’t make it too often, or you’ll hurt your hands...”

A brazen, dazzlingly beautiful heroine vs. an old man who says no but means yes

P.S.

1. Their age gap is 14 years.

2. The heroine is a delicate young lady who enjoys the finer things and can’t endure hardship. You don’t have to like her, but please don’t insult her.

3. The male lead really is incapable at first, for a reason. The heroine will cure his “illness.”

Synopsis: Qi Ran is beautiful as a jade carving, and one smile from her can charm a hundred people. She has always been doted on, the apple of her family’s eye, and they let her do whatever she wants. She lives freely and indulges herself.

Yet Qi Ran can’t feel happy. She realizes she is ill.

Every night, when she thinks back on what she said and did during the day, she feels that something was off.

For example, at night she thinks of the hypocritical young lord of the Duke of Fuguo’s household with disgust and anger, but come daytime, she goes right back to trailing after him like a lovesick puppy.

Like an obsessive stalker, she even gives up practicing the dance she once loved, locking away her dance shoes. Instead, she spends all day making soup for someone, keeping tabs on him, and secretly arranging all sorts of chance encounters...

On her seventeenth birthday, she goes to confess her feelings to the young lord of the Duke of Fuguo’s household, only to find him embracing her concubine-born younger sister.

Learning that he has always loved her younger sister, and that the only reason he never rejected Qi Ran was because of her sister, she is furious. In a moment of madness, she makes a scene about entering the palace and marrying the cruel, heartless emperor, whose life is nearing its end.

She plans to become the most powerful woman in the land, the Empress Dowager, and make that vile couple regret everything and suffer...

Qi Ran thinks she must be losing her mind, yet no matter what she tries, she can’t control her own actions.

The imperial decree has been issued, and there is no turning back. Qi Ran resigns herself to entering the palace.

But on her wedding night, she wakes from a nap with new images suddenly in her mind.

It turns out she exists in a book, as the paranoid, irresistible supporting female character.

Driven to hate by love, she seduces and uses every man who likes her, commits countless misdeeds, and eventually has her crimes exposed and dies at the hands of her men.

Qi Ran: !!!

Qi Ran doesn’t want to die! She has to save herself!

At last, she discovers that as long as she spends two hours with the tyrant every day, she can control her actions for the rest of that day.

Thinking of the tyrant, who calmly sliced off an assassin’s head with his sword right in front of her on their wedding night, Qi Ran says: “...” This is going to kill me. Is Heaven trying to end me?
