Marrying a Sickly, Impoverished Scholar After I Transmigrate into a Book

As soon as Su Mo transmigrated into the book, she knew exactly what to do.

First, she couldn't shamelessly try to steal the female lead's beloved, like the original owner had. Otherwise, the female lead would rise to power and face-slap her relentlessly, and she'd become a cannon-fodder character who was written out in no time.

Second, she had to cling tightly to the male supporting character's powerful coattails. He might be a poor, skinny, weak scholar right now, but his true identity was that of a royal son who had been lost outside the palace. One day, once he reunited with his family, she could leap several social classes at once.

So Su Mo stuck close to the male supporting character, earned money to fund his studies, started a business to pay his school expenses, and fattened him up into a handsome, fair-skinned young man.

Who could have guessed that the male supporting character, with a lovely wife at home and thousands of books under his belt, would suddenly decide he didn't want to reunite with his family? Instead, he spent every day doting on Su Mo and asking:

"Have you eaten, my dear?"

"Are you hungry, my dear?"

"I miss you, my dear."

Finally, one day, Su Mo couldn't take it anymore and yelled, "When are you going to acknowledge that emperor of a father of yours?"

Lu Mingyuan gently drew Su Mo into his arms. "What, are you unhappy about being the top scholar's wife?"

Coming soon: The Male Lead's Current Girlfriend

Blurb: Su Su had a friend who borrowed her name to write a novel. She wasn't the female lead, but she played a crucial role in the plot.

But...

After staying up all night to read the entire novel, Su Su puffed out her cheeks and sulked. She sent her friend a message: "It's very well written, but don't ever write anything like this again."

Who knew that when Su Su woke up the next day, she'd become the male lead's current girlfriend in the novel?

It was hard for her to be happy now, because in the end the male lead would cheat on her and have a passionate, angst-filled romance lasting more than three hundred chapters with a young woman who had just started her freshman year.

As the older sister of the female lead's best friend, Su Su's role was to hand her boyfriend over to the female lead so the lovers could have their happy ending.

Before the semester began and the story could get underway, Su Su made up her mind to break up with her boyfriend.

After successfully breaking up with the male lead, Su Su still couldn't escape the story's vicious cycle. She was pursued by the female lead's idealized first love.

Xu Jingyan met a girl at the tennis club whose eyes turned red whenever she played. She blinked her watery eyes, her small hands trembling around her racket.

"If you can't handle it, senior, find someone else," Xu Jingyan said, his tongue pressing against the roof of his mouth, his voice inexplicably husky.

Su Tang fanned the flames from the sidelines. "My sister is really good at tennis."

Xu Jingyan chuckled. "Is she?"

Five minutes later,

Xu Jingyan crouched down, deigning to comfort the girl who was on the verge of tears.

Su Su clutched her calf, where the tennis ball had hit her, and sniffled without saying a word. It was hard for her to be happy now.

Xu Jingyan's breath caught. His heart throbbed as if it had been burned by fire, and his gaze darkened.

Su Su had thought Xu Jingyan was just a gentle, polite junior with a bit of pride.

Who could have guessed that after reading the love letter the original owner had written to the male lead, he'd suddenly turn into a different person and force her to read those words aloud?

Su Su: "No. I won't."

He'd planned to let her go if she said those sweet words to him just once. But her stubborn attitude made Xu Jingyan laugh in anger.

His usually indifferent eyes glinted with restrained fury. He bent down, picked Su Su up, and pressed her against the wall. Then he made her kiss him for twenty minutes before letting her go.

Unlike Xu Jingyan, who was left wanting more, Su Su went home thinking her junior had gone crazy. He had actually forced her to kiss him. She touched her burning-red cheeks, completely at a loss.

Maybe she should study abroad! She couldn't keep this junior around. Ignoring the strange feelings inside her, Su Su made up her mind to escape overseas.

But as soon as Su Su mentioned her plans to her parents, Xu Jingyan found out.

Held in the man's arms, Su Su was on the verge of tears. She bit the soft flesh inside her mouth, refusing to give in.

In the end, Xu Jingyan was the first to break. He pleaded with her in a meek voice, asking her not to cry.

"Senior, please don't cry, okay?"

Xu Jingyan had never imagined that he could be defeated by a woman's tears.

Until he met Su Su. From the first moment he saw her, something began to itch in his heart. He wanted to make her cry, then kiss her as he comforted her.
