[Complete]
Bai Guan transmigrated into a book, becoming the illegitimate younger sister of the vicious supporting female character who abused the male lead when he was down and out, then suffered the extermination of her entire family.
As the least favored illegitimate daughter of the Bai family, Bai Guan had never enjoyed a day of comfort, yet she was doomed to die horribly simply because she belonged to the Bai family.
She didn't want to die.
But she had no one to rely on. She was young and frail, and the only way to survive was to find someone powerful enough to protect her and cling to him.
As she was still wondering whom to choose, the young male lead, who had just been whipped by her legitimate elder sister, fainted right outside her door.
Looking at the young male lead, his eyes closed and his face drained of color, Bai Guan hesitated for only a moment before using all her strength to drag him into her room.
If she was going to cling to someone's coattails, she might as well pick the strongest one!
**
She did her best to bring him food, find him medicine for his wounds, and treat him well... She wanted nothing in return, only hoping that when he grew up, he'd remember her kindness and spare her when he wiped out the Bai family.
She kept trying, and one day she happened to discover that the person she'd been clinging to wasn't the male lead, but his older brother, Qiu Sui, the bloodthirsty villain in the book!
Bai Guan nearly cried. After all that effort, she'd clung to the wrong person's coattails!
Thinking of all the villain's wicked deeds in the book, she immediately packed her things.
She had just crawled out through the dog hole when she ran straight into Qiu Sui.
His gaze swept over the bundle in her hands. His handsome brows lifted slightly, and an intoxicating smile lingered at his lips. "You brought me so many things today. What are they? Let me have a look..."
Bai Guan panicked and let a slip of the tongue give her away.
His handsome features instantly turned cold. Bai Guan instinctively tried to run, only to be cornered against the wall.
Qiu Sui's eyes blazed with fury. He spoke through gritted teeth: "You promised you'd stay with me forever. Go ahead and try running!"
Bai Guan: "…"
**
The great villain Qiu Sui was reborn.
In this life, he planned to live only for revenge, making everyone who had wronged him in his previous life pay.
On the road to revenge, he met a silly, clueless young illegitimate daughter who was always trying to cheer him up. She even said she would stay by his side forever.
He showed little reaction, but inside, he was delighted.
Until one day, he found out that the little illegitimate daughter was going to run away.
He went mad with anger, unable to suppress the surging malice within him, yet he still couldn't bring himself to hurt her. She was also the first person to make him understand, in either his past or present life, what it meant to feel as if his heart were being pierced.
A heroine who tries to cling to a powerful man's coattails but picks the wrong one vs. a violent hero who is gentle only with the heroine

Please add my new novel, The Cannon Fodder True Heiress's Laid-Back Days (Food), to your reading list! (#^.^#)
Blurb:
Mu Zhaochao transmigrated into a book, becoming the cannon-fodder true heiress in a story about a real and fake heiress.
In the original story, the heroine, the fake heiress, was refined, accomplished, beautiful, and talented. Her childhood-sweetheart bond with the male lead, her cousin, made everyone envious.
Raised in the countryside, Mu Zhaochao was inferior to the fake heiress in every way, yet she constantly picked fights with her and even competed with her for the male lead. In the end, she was abandoned by everyone and died in misery.
Her only purpose was to highlight the heroine's goodness and beauty, while also making the leads' relationship stronger and deeper. She was a whetstone for their romance.
Just after transmigrating, Mu Zhaochao looked at her own reflection in the mirror, so thin she looked like a ghost, and furrowed her brows.
She had a spiritual spring from the System and a brain. Why should she waste away in the Mu family?
She wasn't going to be cannon fodder anymore. The heroine could have her happy ending to herself. Mu Zhaochao was going to lie flat and get healthy.
As soon as she made up her mind, her parents came to her with disappointed expressions and offered her a deal: "We'll give you an estate. Move out and live on your own."
In other words, fend for yourself.
Mu Zhaochao, clutching her pitifully small stash of private money and worrying about how long it would take to save enough to buy a little farm and enjoy a peaceful life growing crops: "!!!"
**
With farmland and a spiritual spring, she knew this was a world cobbled together from many books, but that didn't stop her from farming and happily gossiping about the various male and female leads. Her days were prosperous and entertaining.
Until her older brother returned to the capital with a young page in tow.
She stared at the page, whose features were far too elegant, and sighed. Finally, someone else was a cannon-fodder character like her, and a major villain at that. His fate was even worse than hers.
Out of sympathy, she occasionally gave him something to eat.
She kept feeding him, and one day the great villain suddenly gave her a peachwood comb.
She was just about to take it when the young man's deep voice reached her: "A peachwood comb is a gift for the one you love. Ah Tang, would you accept?"
The boy had shed his youthful awkwardness. His clear, limpid eyes looked her way, making her heart inexplicably skip a beat.
Mu Zhaochao: "?"
The young man seemed terribly nervous. His next words came out trembling: "If you don't like the comb, I can make something else for you..."
Mu Zhaochao: "…"
**
Because of his low birth, Nie Xun had seen the cruelty of the world all too often.
That day, the eldest Miss Mu handed him a roasted orange, blackened and hot to the touch.
Thinking she was just like the others, humiliating him for their own amusement, he frowned and looked at her coldly, only to meet a pair of exceptionally clear eyes.
"It's for your cough," she said in a gentle, smiling voice. "I just heard you coughing a lot."
Nie Xun, his hostility surging: "..."
For the first time, he felt that the world could be so warm.
A little scene
The estate's produce was limited, and the nobles who couldn't buy what they wanted were frantic, pulling strings everywhere just to get a bite.
The heir of the marquis's household said earnestly, "My wife has been suffering badly from morning sickness lately and wants some grapes from your estate. I wonder..."
Mu Zhaochao looked at the male lead from an elopement romance and gave him an excited, gossipy look. "Did you get your wife back? That was quick!"
The heir: "..."
The stiff, proper vice minister of works said with a stern face, "My wife sprained her ankle, so I'm taking her place in line to pick up the radishes..."
Mu Zhaoyang: Tsk. The old-fashioned male lead from a second-wife story can be so considerate after all?
Later, everyone discovered that crates and crates of fruits and vegetables, which they couldn't buy no matter how much they offered, were being delivered to a certain household in the eastern part of the city.
Everyone: That's just sour.
A culinary whiz vs. a sly, sickly man

It was promised to be completed in August. . I really want to finish preparing for the exam as soon as possible.
The preview of the new article makes people feel itchy. But I didn't dare to chase it anymore, it was too tedious, so I just chased it here. I took a break for three days without updating, waiting for the new article to be finished. It's so rare that there is an extra update today. .
If you like it, just say it!
It's too confusing. If you look carefully at each chapter, there isn't much content. It's like a running account.
Oops, the chase is finally over, scatter flowers?
Although we are getting closer to the ending, the foreshadowing and overall framework of this article make it feel like the plot is only halfway through. I hope it doesn't end in a hurry, madam.
The female protagonist can't let the male protagonist know that she already knows his identity, can she forget about it? Even if she is in a panic, it won't happen. This makes the heroine look stupid.

"Hui Hui" is a big bug for the author~
Why don't you write about what Lin Qingqing said to the guard?
