[Honest, Sweet Girl VS Black-Hearted Pretty Boy]
Push and pull to the extreme | Father-son showdown | Transmigrate into a book
1.
Cen Yi became a fan of a B-list male celebrity.
She was a career fan. Watching him take one gloomy, fragile pretty-boy role after another, playing characters who seemed to be pining for themselves, she saw his range get narrower than a toothpick. She was so frustrated she could hardly bear it!
The actor got a new role.
The good news: this time, he was the male lead.
The bad news: once again, he was playing a pretty-boy version of a saintly, self-sacrificing heroine, all holy and full of hallelujahs.
The new drama was adapted from a famous novel devoted to tormenting its male lead.
The protagonist, Yan Chen, lost his mother at a young age and had a cold-hearted father. He was tormented day in and day out, especially by his young and beautiful stepmother, a true femme fatale.
She did whatever she pleased at home, relying on the favor of his father, Yan Shikang.
2.
When Cen Yi woke up, she received one piece of good news and one piece of bad news.
Good news: She had transmigrated into this novel about a tormented male lead, giving her a chance to change Yan Chen's character.
Bad news: She had become the villainous stepmother.
What was the stepmother's fate in the novel again?
Oh, just a minor fatal injury: she went insane, accidentally fell from a building, and got smashed into sesame paste.
... Ahhh! No, please!
Cen Yi was afraid of pain, and whenever she hurt, the tears came uncontrollably.
3.
The plot was beyond Cen Yi's control. Though she was desperately unwilling, she still raised a cane and whipped Yan Chen.
The fear in Yan Chen's eyes as he looked at his stepmother gradually turned to confusion.
The cane was hitting him, so why were her eyes red and brimming with tears?
Could her uncontrollable tears have come with her into the novel too???
Cen Yi was close to tears for real: the cane had rubbed her hand raw, and it hurt so much!
Not only was the plot out of control, but Yan Chen's personality had a hidden dark side, too.
His ragged breath brushed her ear, making her scalp tingle. "Are you choosing me, or my dad?"
