Blurb:

Sui Xi transmigrated into a book, landing in the novel "The Male Lead Must Shine Alone."

Tempted by an enormous reward, Sui Xi bound herself to a System that claimed to track the male lead's darkening level.

On the surface, Sui Xi was doing everything she could to court death and raise the male lead's darkening level.

With the male lead, she acted like he was the best big brother in the world in public, then mocked him, insulted him, and poured cold water on him in private, the whole package.

In reality, Sui Xi tossed and turned sleeplessly at night, her conscience pricking her, and went easy on the plot more often than not.

Heaven was not kind. The fierce persona Sui Xi had worked so hard to maintain fell apart on the spot in front of the male lead.

Facing the male lead's inscrutable expression, Sui Xi nervously made up an excuse. "I'll come clean. I did all this to make you hate me, because... the deeper the hatred, the deeper the love!"

Seeing his gaze grow even more intense, Sui Xi thought, "It's over. He definitely doesn't believe me!" But the male lead's ears turned red. With obvious delight, he said in a low voice, "Yeah, I know you really like me!"

Sui Xi: ???

Was this really the male lead who used to threaten her with a hand around her neck, his eyes fierce and cruel?!

After her secret identity was exposed, her daily life with him became this:

"Why did he give you a present!"

"How could you say someone else's cooking tastes good!"

Jing Nanxiao complained pitifully, though his gaze at Sui Xi was full of menacing warning.

Sui Xi, who could bend with the wind and had a whole arsenal of soothing words: "He must be going crazy, trying to ruin our relationship!"

"I didn't! Your cooking is the best in the whole world!"

One moment Jing Nanxiao was pressing her relentlessly. The next, he had pulled her into his arms, radiant, his flirtatious eyes brimming with tender affection.

Doubtful Sui Xi: System, tell me, does he seem like the kind of person who would turn evil?

The System, which called itself a darkening tracker but was actually playing matchmaker: Well... not with you around.

Later, the System took pity on Sui Xi and gave her a day off, sending her back to her original world. Before the day was even over, she was urgently summoned back. It turned out the male lead was about to lose it!

Sui Xi, back in a flash: He really has gone mad...

The mad dog clung tightly to her, his eyes brimming with possessiveness. He pressed close to Sui Xi's ear, his voice tender and crazed as he murmured, "Xixi, you can't get away..."

If you keep looking at me and liking me a little more, I won't go crazy!

A young lady who can't keep her secret identity under wraps but is great at soothing people x a pure-hearted, easy-to-placate male lead who can't turn evil, black on the outside and white within

Ongoing novel "Dreaming Madly in the Lonely Mansion" blurb:

Aloof, eccentric young lady x gentle, composed male housekeeper

He falls for her first / Has been plotting for a long time / Reunited after years apart

In everyone's eyes, Hang Xiao was a peculiar, difficult young lady. In that cold, lonely mansion, one housekeeper after another had fled from the job of looking after her.

Hang Xiao never cared, until Tang Xu became her new housekeeper. His gentle, smiling eyes awakened her mischievous streak once more.

At first, he offered to tune her bow and clean her arrows.

Hang Xiao looked at him mockingly, sure Tang Xu would be afraid. She drew her bow and said with a smile, "What should I do? This is crazy."

"That's all right. I'm happy to," Tang Xu replied calmly, letting her use him as a target.

Another time, Hang Xiao found out by chance that Tang Xu liked her. In front of him, she pretended to be humble and wept. "I'm just a cripple."

"Without you, I'm just a cripple too."

Tang Xu knelt on one knee before her, gently tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear and tenderly stroking her temple.

Hang Xiao only laughed at him coldly and brushed his hand away, unable to understand his intentions. Later, she finally did...

Later still, Hang Xiao sat upright in her wheelchair, leaning forward with a radiant smile. Her soft words were captivating.

"Kiss me, Tang Xu."

"It would be my honor." He gently caressed her face, his gaze tender as he whispered with reverence.

Hang Xiao had been alone in that lonely mansion for years, abandoned and forgotten.

Then one day, someone came to stand beside her. She scoffed, assuming it was another boring redemption drama.

Tang Xu smiled gently and said, "You said you could never escape the darkness. But isn't it better to be two people in the dark than to be all alone?"

Theme: No matter how painful the past was, you can still love and be loved in the present and future!
