The Right Way to Raise a Villainous Male Supporting Character

Li Miaomiao transmigrates into a sweet historical mystery novel, becoming a cannon-fodder supporting female character who dies as soon as she appears.

The System tells her that the original antagonist, Ji Zhiye, has gone out of character, causing the story to fall apart. She must rebuild his image and restore the original storyline.

Ji Zhiye is cold and cruel, treating human life like weeds and stopping at nothing to achieve his goals. He secretly loves the heroine, but she does not return his feelings, and he eventually goes mad.

Prepared for the worst and ready to show off her skills, Li Miaomiao finds the villainous Boss, who should have been a fearsome brute, quietly praying before a Buddha lamp, gentle and mild.

Seeing Ji Zhiye like this, Li Miaomiao is suddenly filled with despair. She has a long, hard road ahead.

The first time she tentatively takes a step, Li Miaomiao discovers that Ji Zhiye is so compassionate he can't even bring himself to step on an ant.

The second time she tentatively takes a step, Li Miaomiao discovers that Ji Zhiye is devoted only to the lovesick second male lead.

In the end, Li Miaomiao fails her mission, deletes her account, and runs away, only to be sent to the System Administration Bureau to be erased.

But the System sends her back again, saying that the mission wasn't a complete failure and she can have another try.

The moment Li Miaomiao opens her eyes, she sees Ji Zhiye, who had always been as bright and pure as the moon, holding her in his arms as if intoxicated, his eyes bloodshot.

With blood at the corner of his mouth, he slowly draws near, his voice excited: You're mine.

Looking at the madness in his eyes and between his brows, Li Miaomiao decides that running isn't going to cut it. She'll have to run while carrying a train.

Ji Zhiye once thought he was an outcast, abandoned by the world.

No one cared about him. Like a mayfly, he did nothing but wait for death, day after day.

Then someone appeared, taught him how to live, stayed by his side day and night, and devoted her whole heart to him.

The world wanted him to lie low in the dirt, but she wanted him to hold his head high.

He thought he had no love or desire in his life. But when it came to her, he grew greedy, wanting to grow old together, wanting to die together.

"I promised we wouldn't part. Even a single second apart would mean I've broken my promise."

Reader's Notes:

1. The initial blurb may be revised.

2. Neither lead is a good person by conventional standards.

3. The male lead wins himself over and sees everything through rose-colored glasses.

Theme: There is always warmth in the world.
