Synopsis:

Shen Ning'an transmigrated into a book, but she wasn't the ambitious female lead, the sweet and delicate second female lead, or even the vicious, foolish third female lead. She was just a disposable minor character, one of countless female characters, used by the story's main villain to climb to power.

Yet the System wanted her to win over that villain, the gloomy eunuch Yan Jiuhan. She even had to become a couple with him to earn affection points.

Most importantly, she'd transmigrated into an ebook, and the battery level of the phone she'd brought with her was now her life force. If she wanted to keep it charged, she had to kiss Yan Jiuhan.

Shen Ning'an sighed. That gloomy villain had lived his whole life for revenge, thinking of nothing but rising above everyone else. He'd even looked down on the stunning female lead, so why would he want an insignificant character like her?

And she had to date him, too. She was afraid he'd strangle her to death...

A little scene:

Shen Ning'an looked at Yan Jiuhan with a deathly pale face.

"Xiao Yanzi, come here for a moment," she said weakly.

Yan Jiuhan bent down slightly, respectful as ever. "Princess, what do you..."

I need to kiss you! My life force is almost in the red!

Before he could finish speaking, Shen Ning'an looped an arm around his neck, pulled him down, and silenced the word on his lips.

Yan Jiuhan stiffened, forgetting for a moment to push her away.

A few seconds later, she let him go and awkwardly turned her head aside. "Ahem, I must be delirious with fever."

Yan Jiuhan pressed his damp lips tightly together, the corners of his eyes tinged red. His hand clenched into a fist at his side. His heart hurt so much. He really wanted to kill this wanton little princess.

The System shrank back. [Master, he wants to kill you.]

Yan Jiuhan lived in darkness, with no glimpse of daylight. In those terrible years, he was surrounded by filth and degradation, gradually surrendering to the dark. But later, he wagered his very flesh and blood to pave a bright, broad road for the one he loved. He never regretted it, not even as he withered to ash...

After the Sickly Scholar and the Widow of His Elder Brother Move In Together. Add it to your collection!

Shu Yao transmigrated into a book and became a new widow on her very first day of marriage. The eldest son suddenly died, leaving only the frail and peculiar second son in the household.

She was forced to form a bond with her sickly younger brother-in-law and earn his trust points.

Their awful relatives schemed to seize the wealthy old man's estate, finding one way after another to bully the second son of the household.

The slender, cold young man merely stood in the snow without a word. His deep eyes showed not the slightest emotion, like a pool of dead water.

When Shu Yao saw him being bullied, she shielded him.

From the scheming inner household to a poor, dilapidated hut, then to the treacherous imperial court, she stayed by his side through it all.

The frail youth eventually became a powerful minister who shook the court. On the day he placed among the top three in the palace exams, he held her gently and pressed a restrained kiss to her lips.

System: [Ding! Trust points increased.]

Shu Yao's eyes widened. Kissing could raise trust points? Why didn't anyone tell her sooner?

So, just as he was about to pull away, she hooked her arms around his neck and pulled him down, pressing her lips to his again.

He froze, then tightened his arms around her waist as a storm crashed down upon them.

Ji Shijing had read countless books of the sages and looked as lovely as a Buddha, but in truth, his mind was as twisted as a demon's. He was a remorseless monster.

His only wish was to be with his sister-in-law forever.

But what if she didn't love him? He had his own ways of making her fall for him.

Ji Shijing: "Sister-in-law, my chest hurts."

Shu Yao: "Let me see."

He slowly took off his outer robe, left in nothing but a thin inner layer. The contours of his lean muscles showed through. A droplet of water slid from the corner of his long, narrow eyes, paused for a few seconds on his beautiful collarbone, then trickled down his skin and disappeared beneath his clothes.

Shu Yao: ...That's such shameless seduction!

Later, on countless nights filled with unspoken feelings and feverish passion, the sickly, brooding young minister knelt humbly at her feet, gently holding her waist. His kisses were tender and ardent, and the desire he'd kept hidden finally came into the light.

"Sister-in-law, please take pity on me. Don't leave me."

Reader's guide:

1. The male lead is aloof and gives off a "don't come near me" vibe in the beginning. He starts to seduce the heroine in the middle, drawing her in step by step until they both fall.

Theme: Love runs too deep to last, and all things turn to ash.
