The Black-Hearted Lotus Is Sickly and Clingy Again

Next novel: Teaming Up with an Actor to Gossip (Transmigrate into a Book)

1. Shen Cuo, owner of a martial arts school, transmigrates into the palace-themed romance game she was playing.

She's not the universally adored heroine,

nor the universally hated villainess.

She's the nobody who exists in the main storyline specifically to get money out of male players:

a newcomer who struggles all her life just to marry a princess.

The System tells her that once she completes the main storyline, she can go home.

A straight woman with no imaginary appendage is supposed to marry a princess?

2. The System comes to terms with reality.

It lets her choose an NPC to take her place. She only has to help out.

Shen Cuo: A frail, powerless scholar will be easy to handle. Him!

3. Shi Qingming had thought he would spend his whole life struggling in the mire. But even if he had to die, he would drag everyone into the abyss with his sickly body.

He never expected a young woman to appear by his side, always trying to protect him despite being out of her depth.

At first, he didn't care.

After a while, being kept by someone else wasn't so bad.

4. A perfect happy ending.

As Shen Cuo celebrated with the System, Shi Qingming, who had always been so gentle, suddenly clamped a hand around her throat. Violence radiated from him, and the world teetered on the brink of disaster.

His voice was low and hoarse, as though he were holding something back.

"Where do you think you're going back to?"

Blurb for the next novel

Gu Shengyan, a Best Actress Grand Slam winner, dies suddenly and transmigrates into the role of a hated, villainous, pretty-but-useless model's ex-girlfriend. She's also saddled with a can't-break-up-first buff.

Seeing the countless zeroes in the original owner's bank account, she promptly decides to lie flat and wait for a breakup.

But she waits and waits, the male and female leads are nearly getting together, and this villain still won't break up with her!

If he won't break up with her, fine. But why does this villain keep trying to get her to act?

And if he's going to make her act, why has the villain stopped working hard himself and started following her around everywhere?

Villain, do you even remember you're an award-winning actor?

Qi Xiuhе, who doesn't want to be a villain and is determined to escape the plot: "Yanyan, there's a new script!"

Gu Shengyan, who doesn't want to work hard and just wants to gossip: "I don't want to act. This is such a pain!"

Her fans: "Sister Yan, stop slacking and get on set!"

Gu Shengyan says she got the message, and the next day she packs her bags and heads to the set.

Qi Xiuhe, left behind at home, stares blankly at the empty house and falls into deep thought.

Question: My girlfriend suddenly got ambitious, and now we don't even have time alone together. What do I do? I'm desperate, answers please!

Answer: Actor Qi, fend for yourself. Don't get in the way of Sister Yan's filming!

P.S. 1. The male lead is reborn with a System, while the female lead transmigrates into a book as a max-level expert returning to the novice village.

2. They are each other's firsts, and there is no angst.

3. I'm bad at writing blurbs. In short, it's a story of mutual salvation between a reborn older man and a mature woman who transmigrates into a book.

Theme: Face life bravely.
