Trapped in an Angsty Novel, I Begged the Male Lead for Mercy

Heroine's blurb:

It's not scary to transmigrate into the heroine of an abusive romance. What's scary is not having the original heroine's physical and mental resilience.

Qin Xiao is afraid she won't last until the day the clouds part and the moon shines, and that the awful male lead will torture her to death first. To save her own skin, she resolves to be so perfect that he'll have no excuse to torment her!

When the male lead is thirsty, she brings him tea. When he's hungry, she cooks. When there's a pea under his mattress, she'll even tear the bed apart in the middle of the night to find it!

Three years later, Qin Xiao has finally saved enough money to buy her freedom. She makes a run for it and opens the most famous restaurant in the capital.

Male lead's blurb:

Shen Yanyu has a little cook named Qin Xiao. Every day, she makes all kinds of delicious food and humbly sets it in front of him. "Young Master, please, just try a little."

Moved by the little cook's devotion, he always manages to force down a few bites.

Three years later, the little cook turns her back on him. She trades all the gold and jewels he's given her for banknotes and slaps them down in front of him.

Using the money to buy her freedom is perfectly reasonable.

She's just a cook, after all. He readily agrees.

But from that day on, Shen Yanyu can't stomach a thing.
