I Became the Frail Cousin of a Cold-Blooded Top

Zhaozhao transmigrated into a danmei novel, becoming the cousin who lived in Xie Chaofeng's manor and was engaged to him.

In the original story, the cousin made trouble at every turn and repeatedly crossed Xie Chaofeng's bottom line. In the end, when Su Taotao, the true heiress, returned, all the blood was drained from the cousin's body and made into medicine to cure Su Taotao's illness.

Having read the original story, Zhaozhao knew that Xie Chaofeng was a thoroughly cold-blooded, deranged man, wicked and unpredictable. She never knew when she might provoke his anger.

Yet he always showed a little extra patience toward frail, pitiful little creatures.

Su Taotao, the original story's love interest, was an utterly babyish little thing. She toddled around, even burped like a baby, and had a congenital heart condition, which was what first caught Xie Chaofeng's attention.

To stay alive, Zhaozhao decided from then on to become the most sickly beauty in the world.

When Su Taotao suffered a heart attack, Zhaozhao would simply let blood spill from the corner of her mouth, then faint as her breath abruptly stopped.

When Su Taotao toddled around, Zhaozhao would take support from a willow every three steps and from the breeze every five, delicate yet graceful, like a little white lotus trembling on the verge of collapse in the winter wind.

When Su Taotao's cheeks flushed and she let out a babyish burp, Zhaozhao's eyes would brim with tears, not yet falling, quivering on the tips of her lashes.

Su Taotao: ...

On the eve of her false heiress identity being exposed, Zhaozhao swallowed a fake-death pill, thinking she could escape any future entanglement with the protagonists. She had no idea that after she left, all her family members would go mad. They lost their minds, wept, and regretted everything, yet no one paid any attention to Su Taotao, who had only just been reunited with them.

As for Xie Chaofeng, he activated an ancient soul-summoning array and gathered the four great artifacts of the world. He even took the blood from his own heart, all to gather her scattered soul. The once cruel and heartless demon had come to shed tears of blood.

Zhaozhao would never learn any of this. After faking her death, the only thing she felt bad about was her title as the sickly beauty of the four seas. She thought she was a little wicked: she had taken Su Taotao's identity, shamelessly stolen the affection of all her family members, and in the end, even stolen her fiance.

But the people of the Three Realms did not see it that way, and neither did the Xie family. They all thought Zhaozhao was in poor health but so kind that it broke their hearts, and that she would not live much longer. Of course Su Taotao should give way to her. And of course they should dote on her.
