[Blurb]

Su An Nan transmigrates into a book overnight. To stay alive, she has no choice but to win over the book's villainous male lead, Chu Shi Yu, and spends every day teetering on the brink of death.

The first time they meet.

He catches her spying on him.

Chu Shi Yu approaches with a dark expression and clamps one hand around her neck, tightening his grip little by little as he watches her with a faint, mocking smile.

Su An Nan gives up struggling. Just as she thinks she's done for, she hears the System announce: Affection +2. You have received a beginner's gift pack.

Su An Nan: Excuse me???

two thousand years later

One day, Chu Shi Yu has another episode.

He forces Su An Nan step by step into a corner, his gaze vicious as his fingers linger over her neck, as if he'll snap it without hesitation the next second.

Su An Nan negotiates with the System: Can we switch to a different target?

System: Sorry, no.

Su An Nan trembles and swallows, listening in pain and delight as the System announces that his affection for her has increased.

As she loses herself in the moment, Chu Shi Yu leans close. His husky voice sounds beside her ear: "If I catch you smiling at him again, I won't mind setting your bones straight for you."

Looking at the reward she can claim once she gains just three more affection points, Su An Nan grits her teeth and says, "No time like the present. Go ahead and do it now!"

Chu Shi Yu: ...

Blurb for Raising the Marquis's Heir's Wife:

[Soft, weepy crybaby vs. irritable big brother]

After narrowly escaping death on the battlefield, Xie Xing Jian, heir to the Marquis of Jingyuan, wakes up forcibly bound to a System called "Backer."

The person he's supposed to protect is the pitiful girl Yu An Ruan of the Duke of Yu's residence, whom he's never even met.

Xie Xing Jian doesn't take any of this seriously, until one day he comes across Yu An Ruan being cornered by someone.

He tries to ignore the strange feeling in his heart and walks right past her without looking back.

"Smack!"

"Smack!" Xie Xing Jian sees stars from the pain.

The System's cold prompt sounds in his ear: Any harm she suffers will be reflected onto you tenfold.

Xie Xing Jian braces himself and turns around. Seeing the bright red handprint on Yu An Ruan's face, he flies into a rage, kicks the person who hit her to the ground, and snaps, "Who gave you the nerve to lay a hand on her?"

The onlookers and Yu An Ruan: Meow meow meow???

**

Xie Xing Jian thinks something has been off about him lately. He's far too concerned about that young girl. So he pretends to be disdainful and says, "I can't come running over to stand up for you every time. You need to learn to become strong on your own!"

Yu An Ruan gives him a pitiful look and nods through her tears.

Then, the next time it happens.

Yu An Ruan watches as her half-sister snatches away the hairpin she likes. She has just worked up the courage to speak when Xie Xing Jian's breathless voice comes from behind her: "Hey, you. Put that down."

The wealthy young heir stands up for his girl. "I'll take all of these. Wrap them up."

Looking down at Yu An Ruan, who has stopped crying and is now smiling, Xie Xing Jian feels his heart melt.

Oh, well. He'll be the bad guy for her.
