Shen Yan is a socially anxious homebody with no interest in real-life men. Her heart belongs solely to her fictional white moonlight.
That would be Xie Yunzhi, the second male lead in My Wife's Flighty Ways.
Xie Yunzhi is the most beautiful man in the capital, but beneath that gorgeous face is a ruthless heart. He'll use any means necessary to gain power, and can treat anyone as a pawn.
Shen Yan says she understands. After all, in the book he was sent to an enemy kingdom as a hostage when he was young, endured inhuman abuse, and witnessed his mother's death with his own eyes. It's only natural he'd turn dark.
Xie Yunzhi is cold and aloof, and the only person he treats differently is the female lead, who once showed him a small kindness.
For her sake, he gives up the victory at the final step. In the end, she gets together with his nemesis, the Second Prince, and the two live happily ever after, deeply in love.
Meanwhile, Xie Yunzhi remains trapped in the palace for the rest of his life, taking his own life at thirty.
Beautiful, powerful, and tragic! Sweet on the outside, dark within! A love kept hidden!
Good grief, every single point hits Shen Yan's kinks, and she becomes a full-on fangirl.
She looks up reviews online, and everyone else is lamenting the second male lead's fate too.
Shen Yan wakes up one morning and transmigrates into a book.
She becomes Xie Yunzhi's fiancee.
Now she can not only see her dream man in person, but also have every kind of fun with him each and every day, with every right to do so! ...Ahem, I mean, share all sorts of happy moments!
Who gets it, besties?
This is a high-level game, and Shen Yan is laughing herself to death!
But soon she stops laughing, because she remembers that in the book, this fiancee is a short-lived cannon fodder character who dies the day after her wedding.
Cause of death... unknown.
A chill settles over Shen Yan.
--
On their wedding night, Xie Yunzhi indifferently lifts the bridal veil and meets a pair of eyes brimming with anticipation.
As the red wedding candles flicker, the woman stares blankly for a moment, then inexplicably bursts into tears and wraps her arms tightly around his waist.
"Hubby! My destined hubby! I won't let you die!"
Xie Yunzhi: ...?
What does "hubby" mean?
And exactly who is stopping whom from dying?
Theme: A marriage that begins before love can still have a happy ending
