A Wicked Supporting Actress, Doing Good Deeds

Wen Ci was gravely ill and had no choice but to say goodbye to the world.

The good news: she transmigrated into a book. The bad news: she became a short-lived cannon-fodder character.

The Wen Ci in the story was a love-struck villainess through and through. Her brief life was devoted to sabotaging the romance between the male and female leads, making them suffer and shed tears along the way. After all sorts of melodramatic misunderstandings and countless hardships, they finally found their happy ending.

If that were all, it would be fine. She was just an ordinary villain. But Wen Ci's situation was unusual: although she was young, she was already married. Her husband, Pei Zhaoxue, was her father's most prized student. He later abandoned his books to join the army, won great military honors, and made a name for himself while still young. Wen Ci had a strange illness and survived by drinking his blood. To repay her father's kindness, he was forced to marry her.

They were a young married couple, but less than two months into the marriage, they could barely stand the sight of each other.

If that were all, it would be fine! But, alas, Wen Ci also maintained an ambiguous relationship with Zhou Su, the heir of the Marquis's household. Her days were already packed, yet she still made time to sneak off and meet him.

Coldly exploiting her husband, fawning on the male lead, and keeping the male supporting character dangling, she led a life of truly perilous excitement!

In the end, she died in spectacular fashion. As her life ebbed away, she jumped from the city wall, never making it to her eighteenth birthday.

Given a script like this, Wen Ci thought back on her brief life, in which she had never even held a boy's hand, and felt a terrible headache coming on.

This is rough. So rough!

Doing good deeds while playing the role of a villainess: maximum difficulty!

The System drawled lazily, "Host, well, getting a new life always comes at a price. Let's try to understand each other. Just follow the plot and earn some merit. It's only one short year. The hardship is temporary, but happiness lasts a lifetime!"

Wen Ci gritted her teeth. What else could she do? She'd just have to grit her teeth and get through it!

She couldn't exactly choose not to live, could she?

Scene 1:

Night fell, and the moon shone bright among the sparse stars.

Wen Ci's illness flared up, and her heart hurt terribly. Pei Zhaoxue walked over, cut open his wrist with a cold expression, and held it out to her. "Drink."

The scent of blood stung her nose. Frowning, she held his wrist and brought her lips to it. The warm blood slid down her throat, and just a little was enough to ease her pain.

Normally, she would have taken a long draught, like a vampire starved for days and nights. But Wen Ci stopped, picked up the gauze she had prepared, carefully applied medicine to his wound, and bandaged it.

Pei Zhaoxue watched coldly without stopping her.

Catching sight of several pink scars on his wrist, Wen Ci said earnestly, "Next time... don't cut your wrist. You don't need to give me that much blood."

His dark eyes paused for a moment. He sneered, "What? Has Xie Wenqing developed a taste for gentle, sweet girls?"

He naturally assumed she was putting on this act to curry favor with the male lead.

Hearing the System's warning, Wen Ci gave a small cough and chose to keep quiet rather than explain.
