After Mistaking a Horror Story Character for My Boyfriend

A heroine who seems like a chatty good-for-nothing x a gentle, warm-hearted hero

Actually, a genuinely chatty good-for-nothing heroine x a ruthless, feral hero who doesn't say much

When Zhao Shuhe opened her eyes, she had already switched bodies with her counterpart from a parallel world.

In an instant, her tiny one-bedroom apartment had become a cozy two-bedroom, and her bank account had gained a balance of over a hundred thousand. She'd even scored a boyfriend who was exactly her type in every way!

If only there weren't vengeful ghosts knocking at the door, a bloodstained garment hanging outside the window, a swaying figure on the pagoda tree nearby, and rules that made blood slowly seep out across the room, she would have been quite happy to live here.

But then she looked at the new paranormal rules report on the app: You have triggered the Spirit of the Pen urban legend. Your death countdown is fourteen days. Find a way to break the curse and stay alive!

Halfway through her attempt to keep her head down and survive, Zhao Shuhe found the real boyfriend she had prepared for herself, a certain Xie, through what seemed to be a beginner's guide in her notes app.

Xie said with a mournful face, "He tied me up under the bed and made me crawl. He told me to stay away from you, or he'd scatter my ashes."

Zhao Shuhe stared at him in disbelief.

She couldn't help recalling how, after being tormented by the urban legend, he'd leaned weakly against her doorway and said, "Baby, that thing really scared me. Can I sleep on the floor beside you tonight?"

It was all an act! Every bit of it!!!

Pei Qingnian made a deal with someone, changing her fate against the heavens and promising to protect her so she could live in peace.

But the person he was protecting didn't seem to realize it, and kept attracting all sorts of weird things.

What a pain.

As he drove away all the filthy things that coveted Xiao He, he revealed the wounds he'd "accidentally" gotten himself. "It's okay, Xiao He. I'm used to it. As long as you're safe, that's all that matters…"

Watching Xiao He step into his territory one step at a time, Pei Qingnian suppressed his true nature and personally offered her his collar, bowing his head in submission.

Reader's guide:

The heroine is weak and knows it! This is not a strong heroine story!

Written for my personal tastes. The plot exists to serve the romance! This is pure romance!!!

While writing, my mind was blank. All I could think was that my girl was so cute and so chatty!

Theme: Keep striving in adversity. Human will can triumph over fate!
