The Frail Supporting Heroine and the Obsessive Villain Get Their Happy Ending

[Blurb 1]

Song Tan, who successfully survived three years in the apocalypse, has returned to the past. Her three years in the apocalypse taught her one thing: nothing matters more than staying alive.

According to the original plot, her family would push her into a marriage alliance because she had been sickly since childhood. Unfortunately, she would fall for the male lead, Huo Yanlin, who had already fallen in love with the female lead, a girl from the slums. That made her the biggest obstacle between them.

In the end, she would meet a truly tragic fate.

After returning to the past, Song Tan has just one wish: find someone to support her long-term, stay away from the leads, and live a peaceful life.

So when it comes to choosing a marriage partner, she points to Shen Yin, the unremarkable man standing beside Huo Yanlin. "I choose him."

Shen Yin is more or less part of the Huo family. His mother was a Huo, and after both his parents died, he was taken in and raised by the family.

He has nothing to do with the Huo family's business and works as a lecturer at a university, devoting himself entirely to academia.

At the Huo residence, he is practically invisible. Nobody pays him any attention.

So he couldn't be a more suitable choice for a marriage alliance!

Song Tan knows that Shen Yin probably doesn't want to enter a marriage alliance either, and feels that it's unfair to him that she's picked him.

So after they marry, she tells him, "You can do whatever you want. I won't interfere."

She doesn't know if Shen Yin believes her, but after they marry, he treats her pretty well.

Every day, he makes sure she takes her medicine, eats properly, and exercises.

He manages to make her frail body much healthier.

Later, after Shen Yin gets his revenge, he wraps an arm around her waist, which has filled out a little, and says, "You need to get healthy first. Then you can do whatever you want."

Song Tan: ??? She meant he should go have fun with other women!

At first, Song Tan has no idea what happens in the original novel, so she doesn't know that Shen Yin is actually the novel's twisted villain.

He has spent years lying low in the Huo family, all for the sake of revenge.

And by marrying him, she has thrown a wrench into his revenge plans.

When Song Tan learns the original plot, she thinks, I'm doomed. I wanted to find someone to support me long-term, but I picked the wrong guy. Is it too late to change my mind?

Shen Yin: Too late. Thinking of running away?

Song Tan: Looks like I can't get away anyway. Whatever, I'll just lie flat.

[Blurb 2]

Shen Yin spent ten years planning his revenge, but because of Song Tan, he has to put his plans on hold.

She's too weak.

She hates the taste of medicine, gets out of breath after walking a few steps, and can't eat more than a couple of bites.

So she doesn't die young,

he feeds her medicine, exercises with her, and reads up on therapeutic diets so he can eat with her.

At long last, he's managed to fatten her up a little.

Then she finds out about his revenge plans.

He asks her, "Want to run?"

Song Tan, who can now walk several steps without getting winded, rubs her belly and thinks for a moment. "I've gotten too fat to run."

Song Tan: I wanted to stay alive, but ended up choosing the twisted villain.

Shen Yin: I was supposed to become a great villain, but instead I started raising a delicate flower.

[Blurb 1]

Mu Yunshang unexpectedly unlocks a comment feed meant just for her, and learns that she's actually the male lead's dearly missed first love, who dies young in an old-fashioned tragic romance.

While she's alive, the male lead thinks of her constantly but can't have her, and she gets in the way of the leads' relationship.

After she dies, she still occupies a corner of the male lead's heart, making life miserable for the leads.

Watching the comments that occasionally drift by, Mu Yunshang spends a long time thinking about all her admirers.

Then a question occurs to her: So many people have confessed to me, and even more have hinted at their feelings without confessing. Which one of them is the male lead who sees me as his first love?

[Blurb 2]

Mu Yunshang isn't interested in whose first love she is. She's more concerned about staying alive.

Life is so colorful. She has no intention of dying young.

To stay alive,

Mu Yunshang studies martial arts alongside physics,

reads One Hundred Ways to Save Yourself in Danger alongside Shakespeare,

and gets regular health checkups alongside her monthly skincare treatments.

On the day she returns to China,

a comment suddenly floats before her eyes: [Here comes a car]

Mu Yunshang immediately goes on alert, steps back, and keeps her distance from every vehicle.

With remarkable agility, she saves a handsome young man whose wheelchair has gone out of control.

Comment: [What the hell... How did she save Huo Wen?]

Huo Wen is a teenage artistic prodigy. The day after he disappears, his name becomes famous.

Less than three days later, he's found drowned in a river.

His final works are auctioned for a fortune, and the male lead, Huo Yao, inherits his enormous estate as his younger brother.

Now, after returning to China, the first love doesn't run into the male lead. Instead, she saves the powerful male supporting character who was supposed to die young?

[Blurb 3]

A few words drift by in the comment feed: [Eight out of ten CEOs are surnamed Huo]

And Mu Yunshang has eighteen men surnamed Huo in her phone.

Five of them have confessed to her.

Mu Yunshang is having a hard time narrowing down her options among all the men surnamed Huo.

Just then, the comment feed recommends a dating show.

Following its suggestion, Mu Yunshang joins the show.

But who would have thought that the man she casually saved would join the dating show too?

And the kicker: his surname is Huo.

Mu Yunshang is sure she's found her target, so she gives him some heartfelt guidance as his first love.

Other people give their dates a collection of Shakespeare's poetry.

She gives him Wake Up, You're Love-Brained.

Other people watch romantic movies with their dates.

She drags him to a children's safety education film.

When the show ends, Huo Wen confesses that he has feelings for her.

Mu Yunshang: ... Oh, no.

Theme: Even if life is as fleeting as a flower, live it brilliantly.
