My other ongoing novel: When the Supporting Character Holds Her Own Pathetic Little Life in Her Hands

After spending ages acting like a lovesick puppy, Ji Qiu suddenly regained her memories and discovered she'd transmigrated into a crime novel as a desperate housewife.

In the original story, when the desperate housewife became a femme fatale, the supporting character Ji Qiu coldly killed her cruel husband, set fire to her mean in-laws' home, then performed a heartbreaking scene of losing her beloved overnight. She had the male and female leads, who were investigating the case, completely fooled.

Realizing she was a terrifying person who had single-handedly brought about a wealthy family's tragedy, Ji Qiu fell silent for a moment, then smiled wickedly.

Her sharp gaze landed on her husband, Shang Ai, reading the newspaper on the sofa.

You pathetic loser, you have no idea what I'm capable of. →→

Villains aren't scary. What's scary is a villain who used to be an excellent lovesick puppy.

One day, Shang Ai suddenly got a System. It told him that in the future he would become a complete scumbag and meet a glorious end at the hands of his wife after she turned evil.

Shang Ai looked at Ji Qiu, who was hopping around while cooking a simple dish, and shook his head with a smile.

Later, Shang Ai opened his computer and happened to see Ji Qiu's search history:

[Highly rated mind-bending crime films on Douban.]

[An illustrated guide to rare poisonous chemicals in the world.]

[Some things to know about alibis.]

[The Detective Conan fan who breaks down all those ingenious tricks.]

System: "Believe me now?"

Shang Ai's smile stiffened. "It's just search history. What can that prove?"

At that moment, his phone lit up with a sweet invitation from his wife, Ji Qiu.

"Want to go hiking together?"

The phone went click and died

System: "Mr. CEO, is your phone hot to the touch?" -V-

Next door, Ji Qiu was typing away, working hard on her crime novel: Researching this stuff is so hard!

*A heroine who thinks she's dark and sinister but is actually earnestly ridiculous vs. a hero who used to be a ruthless CEO but is forced to act adorable*

[Important] Reading Guide

An utterly ridiculous story. The leads are one-on-one from start to finish.

The dark events from the original story won't happen. After all, we're law-abiding, upstanding citizens!

The heroine doesn't suffer. The hero's redemption arc starts from the beginning.

Updates will stay steady for quite a while! [The silly author squints with a smile, clutching a pile of chapters in reserve.]

...Synopsis...

Ji Shenzhi got hold of a thousand-year-old ginseng root. Who knew that the medicinal root would turn into a little girl the next morning?

The little girl was sweet and well-behaved. Even when she followed him to film sets, she never cried or fussed.

Ji Shenzhi had been planning to throw her out, but when he saw her licking her own ginseng root whiskers on the sofa, he silently sighed.

After all, she was already more famous than him. If he got rid of her, probably half the internet would lose their daughter.

Reading Guide:

1. The heroine's childhood is brief. Her body may grow a little slowly due to insufficient nutrition, so for a while she'll have a child's body but an adult's mind.

2. Ridiculous and sweet, mindlessly sweet, all lovey-dovey, no hate comments please. The whole story is full of commentary and has no logic, so don't overthink it. If it's not your thing, don't force yourself. Read happily, be civil, and hugs to all you cuties.

3. The author is fiercely protective of the characters. They're precious to me, so no hate.

4. The heroine is a little schemer. The hero is a straight-laced, clueless guy who only does three things: dote on her, pamper her, and favor her.

5. Fake showbiz, pretend raising-a-child setup, real everyday life.
