Overpowered, straightforward, fiercely protective heroine x gentle, frail, scheming master of the art of tea male lead
Yan Danxi transmigrates into an angsty romance novel as its heroine. She is destined to be physically and emotionally tormented by the male lead, then die tragically in front of him. He will hold her corpse and weep bitterly, shut his heart to love, and go on to rule an empire without end, enjoying boundless solitude.
Yan Danxi: You jerk!
To make sure she doesn't get tormented, Yan Danxi tears up the original plot without hesitation and charges off in a completely different direction.
According to the original plot, she should have stood atop the city wall, made the male lead choose between two people, then smiled sadly and jumped off the wall.
But after Yan Danxi's outrageous antics,
the angsty male lead and the gentle second male lead are instead captured by assassins, who threaten her with a vicious grin and demand she choose between them.
Yan Danxi shoots an arrow without hesitation:
It hits the angsty male lead, who stares at her in disbelief.
Yan Danxi smiles scornfully. "Seriously, you want me to choose? I'll send you off to your grave right now!"

Prince Rui is the most handsome man in the capital. His status, looks, intelligence, and temperament are all top-notch. Unfortunately, he is plagued by illness and doesn't have long to live, making him a poor choice for a husband and no threat whatsoever in the fight for the throne.
The angsty male lead looks down on him.
But who could have guessed...
One day, as they pass each other, Prince Rui suddenly falls to the ground and tells the people rushing over, "He didn't do it on purpose..."
As his princess consort, Yan Danxi slaps the male lead without a moment's hesitation!
Then she leaves him with a harsh warning: "Try getting close to him again and see what happens!"
Angsty male lead: ...
For the first time, he learns what it's like to be unable to explain yourself, even when you have a voice!
-
Also, why is it that when he says, "Ah, so cool~"
that woman throws him into the pond? I only splashed tea in his face!
Prince Rui smiles. "Because you aren't like me. All you know how to do is feel sorry for your younger sibling-in-law~"
A note:
1. The male and female leads are devoted only to each other. The original male lead is the antagonist.
2. A lighthearted, satisfying read. Don't overthink it.
