After Mistaking the Villain for the Gentle Second Male Lead

After a serious illness, Shen Lewan, the legitimate daughter of a marquis's household,

learned that she was a character in a novel.

The novel's heroine was her half-sister, Shen Qingrong.

As a foil to the clever heroine,

she was foolish, troublesome, and nasty, and was ultimately rejected by the marquis's household and died of illness in a separate residence.

Shen Lewan: I'm so angry...

But on second thought, she really did seem like a beautiful, empty-headed vase--

Which made her even angrier!

To save herself, Shen Lewan decided to steal the heroine Shen Qingrong's greatest golden finger,

Xie Xiuyan, the novel's second male lead.

The son of the Grand Princess, Xie Xiuyan was handsome and refined, with an open and noble bearing. Everyone praised him as the foremost gentleman in the capital. Though he loved Shen Qingrong in the novel, he never used his power to force her and let the heroine be with the male lead.

Half a year later, Shen Lewan finally got her wish and married Xie Xiuyan.

But on their wedding night, she dreamed of the novel's ending:

Xie Xiuyan wasn't a kind-hearted second male lead. He was the story's greatest villain, and in the end, he killed everyone in the novel until he was the only one left.

Shen Lewan jolted upright as if at death's door, only to see her new husband smiling at her. "My lady, did you dream of your previous life?"

Shen Lewan: !!!
