Marrying the Sickly Young Master to Bring Him Good Fortune (Transmigrate into a Book)

[Please add my serialized column, My Bad Luck for Becoming Your Little Sister!]

Wei Zhiyu, the vicious supporting female character in a zombie apocalypse novel, awakens to her role and keeps framing and tormenting Wei Yanqing, the illegitimate son recently brought home by the family, going further and further down the path of self-destruction.

System: Your mission is to keep the villain alive until he becomes completely corrupted and turns into a lord of the apocalypse.

Wei Zhiyu says that's no problem.

Hey, what just bit her? She turns around.

It's a zombie missing half its head, tilting it to one side.

Wei Zhiyu: "Um..." Don't try to act cute!

Gradually, she evolves powerful supernatural abilities and utterly crushes the zombie horde. At the same time, her mind deteriorates. She can't make out what the System says and can't remember anyone. The only thing her body remembers is the line implanted by the System: Protect my big brother, Wei Yanqing.

The apocalypse arrives.

Wei Yanqing is ordered by his father to go fetch his younger sister and bring her back to the capital, Kyoto.

Sitting in a car not far away, he watches his vicious little sister struggle pointlessly as she sinks into a sea of zombies, and curls his lips into a smile.

All he has to do is bring her back, right?

The convoy looks at the zombie girl with mutated pink eyes, then turns helplessly to the safety zone's chief officer, Lieutenant Wei Yanqing. "What about this?"

In his military uniform and black boots, Wei Yanqing leans lazily against the car and polishes his new-model 79K until it gleams. "She's my sister. I'm taking her home."

Oh, so she's a young lady from a distinguished family.

They'd expected her to be a dangerous bombshell, but over the thousands of miles from Sucheng to Kyoto, everyone is stunned. How does this young lady seem anything like a zombie?

She leaps into the tallest trees, hoists the heaviest 79K, wears the pinkest dresses, and beats the most brutal members of her own kind... Yet when the lieutenant returns, she tilts her head in the cutest way and calls him the sweetest "Big Brother."

The lieutenant calmly wipes the dirty blood from her fingers without saying a word, his movements gentle.

When they arrive in Kyoto, they find the zombie girl temporarily in standby mode. The old master slaps her, and Wei Yanqing kneels on the ground without dodging, blood bright at the corner of his mouth. Wei Zhiyu's pink eyes suddenly darken. She clenches her fists, but Wei Yanqing takes her hand.

"Be good, Xiaoyu. I deserve this. I'll accept my punishment."

(The heroine is sweet and has a super-high combat power, completely outclassing the male lead. She's not love-brained, but career-driven, a powerhouse Barbie.)

(The male lead has some issues. He'll come around later, and eventually becomes hopelessly love-brained.)

(They have no biological or legal family ties. The blurb makes him sound like a puppy, but the sweetness is only what the male lead thinks is happening!)

[Blurb]

1.

Lu Yansheng, whose name makes every merchant guild in Chang'an tremble, brings half his fortune as a dowry to marry into the penniless Gu family of Jiangzhou.

Who is Lu Yansheng? The youngest son of the imperial merchant Lu family, the patriarch who controls Kyoto's financial lifeline, and the man everyone dotes on and caters to...

The most famously sickly beauty in Chang'an.

He gasps for breath every three steps and coughs every five.

On her wedding day, Gu Huan is forced to marry him.

"He's not dead, so why does he have to step over a brazier?" she complains.

At that moment, a matron carries him on her back. Dressed in bright red wedding clothes, he looks straight at her and smiles with cool indifference. "I'm paralyzed, you know." Those gentle, detached eyes make her heart flinch.

No feelings involved, so they'll each live their own lives.

The Lu family rules state that anyone who returns after curfew gets ten strokes of the cane. Gu Huan has taken plenty of beatings...

But Lu Yansheng is sickly and delicate, and she just can't bring herself to hit him... Gu Huan caves.

One day, she comes home early. He is reclining on a beauty couch, his whole figure lightly sketched like pale ink in a landscape painting. He slowly waves his fan and looks up from the ledger. "You're back."

"I-I'm back."

But in her heart, she's saying: Holy crap, he's so beautiful, so beautiful!

No businessman is entirely honest. Some of her rowdy friends insult Lu Yansheng to her face. She instantly bristles and beats them up. "Say that again! Even Lu Yansheng's toes are cleaner than you are!"

"Are you crazy or something?"

Covered in bruises, she comes home dead drunk and smiles at him bonelessly. "Handsome Lu, I came home early today. Do I get a reward?"

2.

After transmigrating into a book, cannon-fodder Gu Huan only wants to eat and laze around. But the System says it'll send her home once she completes her missions, and she can't resist the offer!

Her first mission is to kiss the man closest to her. She steels herself and kisses a cool, beautiful man, never expecting him to start clinging to her afterward.

System: Your final mission...

Gu Huan rubs her hands together, ready for it.

Suddenly the System malfunctions. After the crackle of static ends, the System returns to normal, its voice cool and detached:

"Your final mission..."

"...is to fall in love with him."

Ah Huan, I forgive you for approaching me with ulterior motives. All my romance and obsession belong to you.
