Did I Make the Male Lead Die of Anger Today?

Zhou Xiaoxian was a master of angst, known as Jinjiang's number one wicked stepmother.

Then, like a bolt from the blue, she transmigrated into the story she had written, becoming a beautiful, strong, and tragic working girl of a supporting character.

At this point, she couldn't really be called beautiful, strong was out of the question, and tragic was the only part that rang true.

To make ends meet, Zhou Xiaoxian returned to her old trade, putting on the secret identity of "Little Salted Fish" and becoming the capital's number one storybook writer. All the young men and women in the city were waiting for her next update.

Knowing the plot inside out, Zhou Xiaoxian made pointed remarks and went all out bashing the future antagonist, the beautiful, unhinged second male lead, Linghu Danxi.

Before long, everyone in the city knew about Young Master Linghu's tangled romantic history: affairs with older and younger lovers, some involving coercion and others seemingly fated by heaven.

Far away in Jiangnan, Young Master Linghu began to wonder if, at some point, he had wronged someone by abandoning them after seducing them...

Zhou Xiaoxian found the beautiful, unhinged Linghu Danxi and urged him to work hard alongside her and improve himself. He shouldn't become a love-struck fool who, unable to win someone's love, went mad and took revenge on society.

The good news: Linghu Danxi didn't become a love-struck fool obsessed with romance.

The bad news: Young Master Linghu became a fan of Little Salted Fish's books. Now he was obsessed with reading about other people falling in love...

Later, as chaos engulfed the land and warlords fought for control of the Central Plains, the male and female leads fought, fell in love, split up, and got back together, while Linghu Danxi lounged in the fertile lands of Jiangnan, reading novels every day!

Zhou Xiaoxian: "The northern barbarians have invaded the border, and the General Who Guards the North has sent for reinforcements. Are you going or not?"

Linghu Danxi, clutching a novel and utterly engrossed in the romance: "No!"

Zhou Xiaoxian: "I'll kill off the male lead in tonight's chapter!"

Linghu Danxi: "!!!"

Female lead: A working stiff well-versed in the art of talking nonsense, with a questionable mental state.

Male lead: A graceful young gentleman with a slim waist and long legs, a tough exterior and a soft heart, high-ranking and powerful, and emotionally stable, though he might get worked to death by sheer frustration at any moment.

Theme: Believe in yourself.
