The Cool-Headed Supporting Actress Gets Her Thoughts Read by the Male Lead

After accidentally transmigrating into the role of the male lead's supporting-character ex-wife in a capital-circle romance novel, Jiang Ning was told by the System: [Only by following the plot obediently can you return to the real world.]

To get home, Jiang Ning diligently played the aloof beauty, making things difficult for the heroine and abusing the second male lead. She kept up the cool, supporting-character persona around her icy, handsome husband, who looked like he had stepped out of an otome game, pretending she wasn't moved at all.

All she had to do was wait for the little-sunshine heroine to warm the male lead's heart, which yearned for the comfort of a loving family. Then the male lead would ask for a divorce, and Jiang Ning could go home in style.

Lately, however, she'd noticed something strange about the male lead. Not only did he keep finding ways to snuggle up to her, but he also seemed to anticipate her every preference.

Something was off. This was definitely off.

Zhou Xiangqi knew that his wife, whom he'd married for the sake of an alliance, didn't love him.

Whenever Jiang Ning saw him, she looked indifferent. No matter what he did, he couldn't earn even the slightest smile from her. He'd even heard her tell someone else that they would get divorced sooner or later.

Zhou Xiangqi didn't care. He didn't love Jiang Ning either, so they could just make do. If she asked for a divorce, he'd agree.

Until one day, Zhou Xiangqi discovered that whenever he got close to Jiang Ning, he could hear her thoughts.

And the closer he got, the clearer they became.

When Zhou Xiangqi came home after his usual workout, his cold wife walked right past him without a glance.

But then a fervent squeal rang in his ears: "Huff, huff, I really want to touch his eight-pack! ^_^"

For Jiang Ning's birthday, Zhou Xiangqi bought her a discontinued handbag. She accepted it with an expressionless face.

But he heard her wail inwardly: "Waaah, how did you know I've wanted this bag for so long? I love you, hubby! ^3^"

When he cooked at home, Jiang Ning seemed unmoved, but inside she was screaming: "Whose husband is this, so handsome and able to cook? Mine!!"

When he spent a fortune at an auction to buy her a peerless piece of jewelry, Jiang Ning remained impassive, but inside she was roaring: "I love the pink diamond ring my husband gave me! More, more, give me lots more!! I love you, hubby, mwah mwah!!"

Only then did Zhou Xiangqi realize that his wife was just pretending to be cold on the outside, while inside she loved him to pieces.

But just when he thought his marriage was rock solid, he suddenly heard Jiang Ning's thoughts:

"A man this handsome? I have to sleep with him a few more times before we divorce. ^_^"

Zhou Xiangqi: ?

Wen Nuan knew she was the little-sunshine heroine in a sweet romance about the capital circle. Her arrival would warm the male lead's heart, which longed for the comfort of a loving family. He'd divorce his wife for her, and she'd become a rich man's wife.

But Wen Nuan waited and waited. Not only did the male lead never divorce his wife for her, she also had to watch Zhou Xiangqi treat Jiang Ning better and better...

Someone tell her: if Jiang Ning is so cold and indifferent, why does Zhou Xiangqi keep throwing himself at her and constantly trying to snuggle up to his wife?

Bro, you're the male lead, not a simp!

* A stunning beauty who's aloof on the outside and wild on the inside x a lovestruck CEO with a fortune

* One-on-one romance, happy ending, silly and satisfying, lighthearted and super sweet ^_^
