The Sweet Romance Side Character Reborn

My new novel, Sui Sui, is now underway!

A Yu was the real heiress, deliberately switched at birth and made to suffer for decades. Her family eventually found her, and she married up to the powerful minister Lu Hengzhi.

She thought her hardships were finally over. Unfortunately, she was the real heiress in a fake heiress pampering romance, and her husband, Lu Hengzhi, was an obsessive, lovesick second male lead who had been infatuated with the fake heiress for years.

He married her just to torment her.

The obsessive second male lead poisoned A Yu with a parasitic curse, and she died horribly.

As she drew her last breath, all she wished for was that these people would meet terrible ends.

Heaven granted her that chance. A Yu was reborn.

She imprisoned and tortured the obsessive second male lead, forcing him to become her slave.

She killed the universally adored heroine and fed her blood to her parasitic insects.

The heroine's suitors either died or went mad.

*

After killing so many people, A Yu "got what was coming to her." Not only did she end up dying by self-immolation, but everyone was reborn.

A Yu had only two paths before her.

She could weep and apologize to the heroine, then cling to her powerful patron.

Or she could win over the obsessive second male lead, who hated her to the bone.

A Yu found both options disgusting.

She chose to join forces with the great villain and keep the obsessive second male lead as her slave.

After all, he could do the laundry and cook, and he could take a beating.

*

Lu Hengzhi had lived three lifetimes, and A Yu had tormented him in two of them.

She had destroyed everything he had and made him live a fate worse than death.

His only wish for the rest of his life was to have nothing more to do with A Yu and for her to let him go.

But when the day finally came for them to settle their debts, he didn't feel the liberation he'd imagined.

A refined young man stood by her side. Watching them laugh and chat, he felt the love buried deep in his heart, even unknown to himself, ripped out into the open.

That year, snow fell in thick flurries. He was lowlier than grass, kneeling in the snow all night and begging A Yu not to send him away.

1. No transmigration or fantasy elements. The female lead is a native of this world.

2. I'm terrible at writing blurbs. This is a revenge story about a mad, villainous woman. She will grind Lu Hengzhi's bones to dust, and the second male lead, Jiang Yanxing, will become the male lead.

3. There are twists in the main story. Many chapters without summaries feature battles of wits and the female lead's growth. I'm leaving them out to avoid spoilers.

4. The pirated and official versions differ. The whole novel costs only 3.92 yuan, so please support the official release, dear readers.

5. Please bookmark my author page. Love you all QAQ

Pre-release novel: Plucking the Loftiest Flower. If you're interested, visit my author page and bookmark it~

Bai Wan is the most inconspicuous background character and cannon fodder in a novel.

Weak-willed, dull, low-born, untalented, and plain: that's how outsiders see Bai Wan. In the original story, she marries up to Prince Wei, who treasures her, and she lives happily ever after.

That would have been the best ending for the old her.

But not for the Bai Wan of today. At a flower-viewing party, she caught a distant glimpse of the beautiful and spirited Crown Prince, and fell in love.

The Crown Prince is upright, self-disciplined, virtuous, and wise, a bright moon hanging high in the sky. The thought of him spending his life with another woman drove Bai Wan mad with jealousy.

*

Three months later, a major event shook the capital: the Crown Prince mysteriously disappeared. At the same time, a concubine daughter of the Bai family died of illness.

She was so insignificant that no one cared, aside from Prince Wei, who mourned her deeply.

*

Xie Fusheng was indifferent to worldly desires and devoted to state affairs. His life's ambition was to see the people of Great Zhao live in peace and prosperity, no longer displaced from their homes.

Then Bai Wan appeared and completely ruined the life he had planned.

She was obsessive, malicious, and even insane. Because she loved him, she kidnapped him and imprisoned him in a remote mountain village, forcing him to marry her.

This dreadful life went on for two years. Just as he grew used to it, the royal family found him, and the madwoman was imprisoned and punished, as he had wished.

He wrote the imperial edict himself. As he listened to the eunuch vividly describe Bai Wan's horrific condition in prison, Xie Fusheng changed her sentence from being hacked to pieces to death by waist chop, then changed it again to death by poisoned wine, so that her body would remain intact.

Xie Fusheng knew Bai Wan was mentally ill, yet he still went to see her before she died. She was covered in wounds. When she looked at him, there was no longer any lingering affection in her eyes. She cursed him with a horrible death, then drank the poison without hesitation.

Xie Fusheng found it laughable. Yet when he watched Bai Wan die in agony, he felt none of the satisfaction of revenge, nor any sense of relief.

*

Years later, Xie Fusheng ascended the throne, yet he still held no selection of consorts and appointed no empress. Then, at a palace banquet, the moment he saw Prince Wei's consort, his reason completely crumbled.

This woman, whom he once swore would haunt his nightmares and whose flesh he had wanted to devour, was also his deceased wife, the woman who now filled his thoughts and whom he missed more than anything.
