Shi Xing read a sugary romance novel full of melodramatic clichés. The villainous male lead, Lu Xun, was cruel and gloomy. Because he was an illegitimate child of a wealthy family, everyone looked down on him. The only person he loved was the heroine, his beloved first love, and his obsession with her was so twisted it bordered on madness. He took her by force and stopped at nothing to get what he wanted, locking her in a birdcage made of pure gold and chaining her ankle with a diamond-studded shackle. From then on, he doted on her in the darkness for the rest of her life.
Shi Xing looked at the comments in the review section, which all cried, "So sweet, so doting, I love it!" She gave them the subway old man staring at his phone.jpg expression.
A crazy psychopath had no business talking about love. Shi Xing was just about to launch into a furious rant about the male lead when, in a flash, she transmigrated into the villainous male lead's cannon-fodder wife.
In the novel, the original wife looked down on Lu Xun for being illegitimate, humiliating and abusing him, yet she was addicted to his good looks and forced herself on him every night. In the end, Lu Xun took revenge and shot her full of holes, then threw her in the trash, where she was so disgusting that even the garbage couldn't stand her. He went on to marry his beloved first love.
Shi Xing: "..."
That night, as Lu Xun pinned her to the wall with a look of disgust and claimed her, Shi Xing recalled the novel's plot: he pined for his beloved first love, yet was forced to spend every night in bed with his original wife until they were exhausted. Her expression solemn, she took out her phone and started a timer right in front of them both.
"Since you say you hate me, let's start now and finish in two minutes."
"If you can't even meet this two-minute requirement, how can you claim you hate me?"
Lu Xun: ...?
To avoid the tragic ending of being shot full of holes and thrown in the trash, Shi Xing launched a plan to suck up to her future villainous big shot.
She gave him money and connections, argued on his behalf against the wealthy family, and even helped him create opportunities to be with his beloved first love.
After she had done all that, she watched Lu Xun take the position of CEO of the Lu Group, then lay flat in peace, waiting to retire from the story.
Until she suddenly felt something cold around her ankle. She looked down and saw a diamond-studded chain. Then she looked up, and golden light nearly blinded her.
???
Why were the diamond-studded chain and golden birdcage both around her?!
