The Prematurely Doomed Male Supporting Character in a Period Novel Hears My Thoughts [The 1970s]

After Qi Xiaomeng, demure and well-mannered in person but always talking dirty online, suddenly drops dead, she transmigrates into a period novel about marriage swaps as the unlucky female side character.

Her cousin, the heroine who has awakened to the plot, steals Qi Xiaomeng's blind date and then schemes to marry her off to Han Yang, a doomed male side character who dies early in the book.

Han Yang is capable and has a decent character, but he has always been hopelessly in love with the heroine and refuses to touch Qi Xiaomeng. In the end, he even dies saving the heroine.

When Qi Xiaomeng learns she's about to be forced to marry Han Yang, she says she's delighted.

After all, she isn't here to join a romantic dumpster fire. She's here to inherit Han Yang's estate.

Then, on the day of the blind date, a handsome young man with broad shoulders and long legs approaches from a distance.

Qi Xiaomeng acts shy on the outside, but inside she's whistling wildly:

[He's so handsome! I'm practically drooling out of my eyes! I have to get a good taste of him before he dies!]

Han Yang, deputy director of a pig farm, is so absorbed in his work that he has remained unmarried well past the usual age. Unable to refuse the villagers' enthusiasm, he goes to meet his blind date.

He hears that the young salesgirl at the supply and marketing cooperative is quiet and easily blushes when teased.

On the day they meet, Han Yang looks at the little girl in front of him and nods. She does seem pretty quiet.

But the next second, he suddenly hears a whistle from somewhere:

[Take something off and show me what you've got!]

Han Yang freezes. He looks around, but there's not another soul for miles. At last, his gaze falls on the girl standing in front of him with her head bowed.

"You want me to... take something off right now?"
