Conquering the Male Supporting Character

As soon as Lu Wan transmigrates into a book, she learns that the original host has left behind a mountain of messes. She chased after the male lead, who despised her, and wasn't even important enough to be a cannon fodder character. She also died far too young.

Lu Wan: I'm done for.

To escape the pit of doom as quickly as possible, she launches a two-pronged attack of green-tea sweetness and innocent white-lotus charm, settling on her target: the male supporting character, Xie Yu.

But why is this aloof and proud young lord of the Xie family from the original story so unusually warm toward her?

One day, looking at Xie Yu's sleeping face, Lu Wan can't help leaning down and whispering, "The odd function stays the same, right?"

Xie Yu, pretending to be asleep: ?

*

Xie Yu is bound to a System that uses threats and temptations to make him pursue Lu Wan, the fifth daughter of the Lu family, whose reputation is in tatters. His reward is something he's always wanted.

His face dark with anger, he has no choice but to seek out Lu Wan and try to win her heart.

*

Later, rebel forces enter the city and disaster strikes the Lu family. Xie Yu abandons her to rescue the female lead from the book, and Lu Wan's heart turns to ash in an instant.

It's over. I can't complete the mission!

Who would have thought that after she switched targets, Xie Yu would suddenly appear and beg in a low voice, "Wanwan, stay."

Lu Wan: ...Heh, too late.

She thought it was only a matter of using each other, but then one of them fell in love, and neither could escape.

"Imperial Sister-in-Law"

Shen Lingshuang married Zhao Yuanjing when he was at his lowest.

She made him meals with her own hands and cared for him tenderly. After three years of standing by him through hardship until he ascended to the position of Crown Prince, she finally earned his tender calls of "Shuang'er."

For a while, she was blinded by love, believing she had finally warmed his heart.

Until his childhood sweetheart, Chu Mingshuang, returned to the capital.

With three parts resemblance and the same character in their names, Lingshuang finally understood that she was only a substitute.

She tried to fight for her place, but became a laughingstock in everyone's eyes.

On her birthday, Zhao Yuanjing made a grand show of taking Chu Mingshuang on a boat trip.

When Lingshuang learned she was pregnant, Zhao Yuanjing demoted her from wife to concubine and welcomed Chu Mingshuang as his principal wife with ten miles of wedding gifts.

He said, "Mingshuang is kindhearted. As long as you obediently kneel and serve her tea, there will always be a place for you and the child by my side."

Lingshuang gave up completely, ended her pregnancy, and died in a sea of flames.

*

Zhao Yuanjing thought Lingshuang would always love him.

After all, the Shen family was gone. In this vast world, where could she go besides his side?

He locked Lingshuang, now his concubine, in the lonely and desolate Quiet Heart Pavilion, thinking he could keep her there. Who would have thought that one fire would reduce the entire pavilion to ashes?

Zhao Yuanjing went completely mad.

He dug with his bare hands for three days and three nights, his fingers covered in blood, until a collapsing roof beam struck his head. He returned to the night they were married.

His hands trembling, he tried to hold his wife, whom he had regained after losing her.

But the loving light was gone from her eyes, which had once been full of tenderness and shyness.

Zhao Yuanjing did not lose hope.

Lingshuang loved him so much. Surely she would make up with him and return to how things were.

Until later, when he saw his younger imperial brother Zhao Yuanzhao effortlessly seize the throne and place the phoenix crown of an empress on his wife's head.

Lingshuang's cheeks flushed like flowers as she lightly touched her lips to the handsome young man's.

Her slender waist, graceful as a willow, had begun to swell. The child she carried was Zhao Yuanzhao's.

*

The first time Zhao Yuanzhao saw his gentle and beautiful sister-in-law, his heart skipped a beat.

So what if she was his sister-in-law?

With a smile in his eyes, he drained his cup of wine and, for the first time, considered fighting for the throne.

Only the phoenix crown and robes, with all the land as her betrothal gift, were worthy of the wife he wanted.

Theme: Leave others a little room, and you may meet again someday.
