The Supporting Female Character's Comeback in the 1970s

Lin Wanwan worked herself to death before learning that she was the devoted, lovesick female supporting character in a novel. The person she loved was the male lead, while her younger female cousin was the heroine.

Although she was outstanding in every way and had a whole street's worth of admirers, the male lead liked her cousin, who did nothing but act cute. Lin Wanwan loved him without hope, but her lovesick persona remained unshaken. She was practically ready to give him everything she owned just to win him over.

Her parents severed ties with her, and even her eldest brother was fed up with her stubbornness. Lin Wanwan's health failed from overwork, and in her final moments, the one caring for her was Song Zhi, the villain the book described as utterly wicked.

Only then did she realize the great villain was actually considerate and gentle. The years had added a touch of maturity and composure to him, and let her see his charming face clearly.

As Lin Wanwan died, she thought, Isn't this so much better than that scumbag male lead?

Then she was reborn.

--New novel: Falling in Love After Marriage. Please add it to your collection!--

Blurb: Xie Yanqing is the heir to the Xie family, a favored son of heaven, proud and carefree, seemingly close to perfect. But he keeps women at a distance and doesn't believe in love.

Old Master Xie arranged a marriage for him with Ji Wan'er, a well-behaved and quiet young woman. Xie Yanqing thought she was meek and easy to fool, but in the end, she was the one who had him wrapped around her finger.

*

Xie Yanqing thought relationships were a burden, so before the wedding, they agreed not to interfere in each other's lives. Ji Wan'er agreed and stuck strictly to that arrangement after they married, never crossing the line.

But after Ji Wan'er stayed out all night for the nth time, the usually excellent sleeper, Young Master Xie, found himself unable to sleep.

A little scene:

All their friends knew Xie Yanqing was cold and indifferent, and assumed he would be just as distant and heartless after marriage.

At a gathering, the friends played a game: whoever was picked could express their feelings toward anyone present, whether affection or dislike, and the other person had to react.

When Xie Yanqing was picked, his reaction was just as they expected: he did nothing.

But during the dozen or so seconds when the lights went out, someone saw Xie Yanqing place a hand on the back of Ji Wan'er's head, lean down, and kiss her.

*Sweet-natured yet resilient × proud and domineering
