#A sweet, sharp-witted, scheming cousin X a gentle heir who acts with integrity and fiercely protects his own#
In her previous life, Pei Lishu was born into a powerful family and doted on by everyone.
The tragedy was that she was blind to the truth and made a deal with a tiger.
In the end, the "good man" she married ruined her family, and a "friend" killed her with a cup of poisoned wine. Only as she lay dying did she realize how foolish she'd been.
In one moment, she's reborn as Jing Wan, the heir's pitiful little cousin, an orphan who died of illness.
Pei Lishu is someone else entirely.
Fortunately, the Pei family hasn't fallen into ruin, and her loved ones are still alive.
She does everything she can to get close to "Pei Lishu," helping and protecting her, and making sure she can spot petty people and root out the wicked.
When the author transmigrates into the novel she wrote, "Pei Lishu" is so moved that she's sobbing uncontrollably.
"What kind of little angel is this? I'm a sinner! I wrote you off as a minor character and killed you!"
#A reborn heroine meets a transmigrator: Who will reveal their secret identity first?#
After recovering from a serious illness, the cousin's personality changes completely.
She used to be cool and distant. Now she follows Su Jue around all day, calling him "Cousin" at every turn.
"Cousin, there's a fireworks festival today. Shall we go together?"
"Cousin, I bought candied hawthorns. I'll share one with you."
"Cousin, Miss Liu is so beautiful. Why don't you marry her and bring her home to be my cousin-in-law?"
Su Jue, already in love with someone else, smiles warmly, his ears turning red. "Well... let's not."
As the villainous second male lead in a Mary Sue novel, Qin Yunchen is the picture of diligence.
He's ruthless toward the male lead and loves the heroine with all his heart. Even after going to great lengths to marry a noblewoman from a powerful family, he still adheres to the rules of gentlemanly conduct, never laying a finger on her and using her only as a tool.
Until Pei Lishu is fed poisoned wine by her "ally" and dies without ever giving him another look.
Qin Yunchen's world finally falls apart.
He personally snaps his "ally's" neck, sees no point in fighting the male lead, and loses all interest in the heroine. He spends his days drinking himself into a stupor and wasting away beside his dead wife's grave, until he dies of illness.
But then he comes back from the dead.
The memories of this life return to him, and the face of the person who killed him appears in his mind. Even with a different face, when that girl gets angry, she's still like a little dog that doesn't know how to bite.
As his page watches in horror, Qin Yunchen breaks into a delighted smile.
"My princess consort is still as adorable as ever."
