Transmigrated as the Villain’s Short-Lived Darling Wife

Nan Xing was in a car accident and transmigrated into a melodramatic novel as the second female lead, becoming the short-lived wife of an obsessive villain.

In the novel, the second female lead kept chasing after the villain. In the end, she gave her blood to the female lead, the villain's beloved, but he still never spared her a glance.

The System issued a mission: [Help the male and female leads marry within one year, and you can change your fate of having your heart cut out.]

--

When Zhou Qingshu was six, his family was in a car accident.

When he returned to school, he was shunned and isolated.

That was when he met the girl he adored.

Later, a family-arranged marriage and pressure from their elders forced him to marry her younger sister. Just as he'd expected, she was an absolute nuisance.

But then...

One day, he accidentally brushed her hand and heard:

"You bastard! Who said you could touch me?"

Zhou Qingshu looked up at her.

She was still sweetly saying, "Honey, I want a hug."

This sort of thing happened more and more often.

She took his hand. "Honey, my feet hurt. Carry me."

"You bastard, stay away from the female lead. Come with me!"

She saw him off at the airport. "Honey, I'll miss you. When will you come visit me again?"

"Hurry up and go! Don't come back to visit me. I don't miss you at all!"

--

After their divorce, the media reported that she was dating some young heartthrob.

That night, Zhou Qingshu cornered her backstage at an awards ceremony. "Weren't you the one who said you loved me most? Why are you with someone else?"

Nan Xing lightly kissed the Best Actress trophy in her hand. "Ours was a marriage of convenience. It was all an act. That's what I'm good at."

Then she gave him an amused look. "Mr. Zhou, don't tell me you've really fallen for me?"

She sneered. "Sorry, I never go back to an old flame."

Ying Yu was a fox who had only just cultivated a human form. On her first day in the human world, someone touched her tail!

There was a wondrous legend in the demon world: Whoever touches your tail is your fated partner, and dual cultivation with them can greatly improve your luck.

Ying Yu, who'd been unlucky ever since she was little, was tempted.

She set her sights on Zhou Chenyi, the one who had touched her tail.

--

An experienced senior gave Ying Yu some advice.

Plan A: Hang around outside his apartment building to make a good impression and get him to take you in.

Ying Yu waited outside his building for three whole days, but didn't catch so much as a glimpse of him. It turned out that workaholic Zhou Chenyi had been working overtime at the office and hadn't come home at all. Instead, Ying Yu caught a cold and spent several days in bed.

Plan B: Arrange to bump into him, get injured at the right moment, and make him feel sorry for you.

Ying Yu picked out Zhou Chenyi's car and spent the night lying in the underground parking garage, ready to stage an accident. As luck would have it, Zhou Chenyi never showed up. His nephew did, and kicked a ball right into the back of her head. She was taken straight to the hospital by ambulance and treated for a concussion.

Plan C: The final move, the fox's charms.

She attended a ball, and her senior specially dressed her up and did her makeup. Her little dress was stunning enough to outshine everyone. But after entering the venue, Ying Yu realized that a huge, conspicuous blot of ink had somehow gotten on the back of her white dress.

Just as Plan C was about to fail, too, Ying Yu hid in a corner and cried.

"Stop crying." Zhou Chenyi calmly tied his custom black suit jacket around her waist. "Is it really that upsetting to come have dinner with me on your days off? I'll double your bonus again... and let you have all the little cakes, okay?"

--

Zhou Chenyi's company was growing, so overtime was normal. He hadn't been beaten up yet because he paid his employees well.

But he never imagined an employee would spend months chasing after him just to get weekends off.

Zhou Chenyi gave in. "You can have weekends off, but you have to finish your work, and no sneaking cat treats or clawing the curtains and sofa at home."

Ying Yu nodded vigorously. The next second, her warm white fox tail wrapped around his calf. "Where's your tail? Let's start dual cultivation!"

In broad daylight, Zhou Chenyi was admiring his business empire through the wide floor-to-ceiling windows when he nearly choked to death on his coffee in the office. "?!!!"

#Your dual cultivation and my weekends off don't seem to mean the same thing#

--

Extra scene:

Ying Yu thought the legend was a lie. She and Zhou Chenyi had been practicing dual cultivation for so long, but her luck hadn't improved at all.

After he wore her out, she gritted her teeth and kicked him. "Aren't you going to work?"

Zhou Chenyi nuzzled her neck and drawled, "It's the weekend. No work, just dual cultivation."

Ying Yu: "...But it's Monday!"
