The Supporting Female Character Is Reborn

New story, Torrential Rain Boils. Come add it to your reading list~

[In her past life] Lin Fangzhi threw her weight around under the guise of a vicious female supporting character. She used threats and temptation to relentlessly pursue the aloof Gu Zhihan, and after making a complete mess of everything, she finally got what she wanted.

Lu Xiao stayed by her side, thinking, It’s only a lifetime. I can protect her.

Later, she lived a difficult life, always lowering her head and yielding. By the time she was found, her body had gone cold. The girl who had once loved beauty had wounds all over her body. She had cut her wrist again and again, as if she couldn’t feel pain, and her pale nightdress was stained a dark reddish brown. It was hideous.

Lu Xiao stayed beside her body all night. Cigarette butts littered the ground, and the grown man’s eyes were red.

The girl he had cherished with all his heart had been treated so cruelly. It hurt him terribly. He had promised to protect her for the rest of her life, but in the end, he had failed.

[In this life] Everyone says that Xiao Ye, the star of the lab, is aloof and arrogant, with an overwhelming presence. He struts around like he owns the place and can break two of your ribs with one hand, sending waves of lovestruck girls running.

Only Lin Fangzhi dares to tilt her head and gaze at him with a bright smile.

Then she says something shocking: “You wouldn’t happen to be uninterested in women, would you?”

Later, on a damp night in late autumn, the young man pins her against the wall, breathless and unable to restrain himself, and kisses her.

The hem of his clothes carries the scent of alcohol and a faint trace of mint cigarettes, bringing out a strange freshness and sweetness. “Baby, didn’t you say I’m not interested in women? Hmm?”

Furious, Lin Fangzhi kicks the door shut and yells at him to get lost.

Three in the morning.

“Why haven’t you left yet?”

“I can’t leave.” He leans against the wall, waiting at the door with pleading eyes. His voice is low. “My baby can’t live without me.”

Lu Xiao doesn’t consider himself an easygoing person. In this life, the little patience he has is all for Lin Fangzhi.

When Zhao Ran teases him for wanting someone he can’t have and says he feels sorry for him, Lu Xiao shoots him a murderous glare.

What do you mean, wanting her but not being able to have her? He doesn’t even dare ask.

He would live for her, die for her, lose himself in the darkness for her, and bow down to her. But he doesn’t dare say those three words: I like you.

1. Lu Xiao loves her. He always has. In his past life and this one, he loves only Lin Fangzhi.

2. No golden finger. They save each other.

3. The leads are both at the peak of their looks and extremely rich.

[The blurb for the next book, Torrential Rain Boils]

An icy, possessive, lovesick man x a seasoned party girl

[One-line summary: It took many years to realize that the ice had been boiling for you all along.]

-

The first time Su Yunzhi met Xu Yunzhi, the summer sun was blazing. He sat in the stands at a racetrack wearing a white shirt, like ice dropped into sparkling water.

Later, on the night of Su Da’s birthday party, she went clubbing with her friends. The club was dim, and her picture was displayed on the big screen.

Beaded bracelets wrapped around her wrist. Her looks were bewitching, like a temptress from an ancient tale.

After drinking until she could barely think, someone asked, “What happened to that aloof heartthrob from the fine arts department? His dropping out caused a huge stir. Xu Yunzhi’s name seems even more famous than Q University.”

With her arm around the boyfriend beside her, Su Da smiled and replied, “Who knows?”

The ice cubes in her glass gave off a chill as her gaze wandered back to the big screen.

It was the photo she had taken last year, during Chinese New Year in Beijing. Their flight had arrived after three in the morning, and snow had fallen thick and fast over Shichahai. The Xu Yunzhi they were talking about had been standing across from her when she pressed the shutter.

-

Su Da and Xu Yunzhi’s relationship existed only at night. During the day, they acted like strangers.

Like so many men and women, they had drawn close without a second thought, lost themselves in one another for a little while, then quickly pulled away.

That was what she thought their relationship was.

Until she opened a hidden room in the Xu family’s old house.

Light poured in, revealing thousands upon thousands of paintings. A lifetime of obsession, every one of them Su Da.
