After the Cannon Fodder Sister in a Danmei Novel Dies

A Yin and her older brother were very close. They lived next door to each other, and after their parents died when they were young, they grew up relying on one another. It was only natural that they became husband and wife as teenagers, though in daily life they still called each other brother and sister.

Her brother was gentle and considerate, caring for her in every way. Their life was peaceful and happy, but she had no idea that his origins concealed another story.

He had an older brother who held power, as well as a younger brother blessed with extraordinary talent.

The elder brother, Tan Xuanjin, was elegant and distinguished, with a cold nature. Decisive and ruthless, with a deeply calculating mind, he was known as the Jade-Faced Asura.

The younger brother, Tan Xuanyue, was pampered and unrestrained, bold and flamboyant. He looked harmless with his ever-present smile, but his moods were unpredictable, and he never let an insult go unavenged.

She followed her brother into the estate. To avoid being driven out, she was cautious in everything and constantly tried to please them, day after day, year after year.

Three years passed. She never stopped giving gifts and showing them kindness, but to no avail: the two young masters still disliked her.

A Yin went up the mountain to pray for their good fortune, but never returned. She died in a torrential rainstorm.

When she opened her eyes again, ten years had passed. She was on an unfamiliar street, with no one to turn to.

Only then did A Yin discover that she was living in a danmei novel about taboo brothers, and the protagonists were her husband and the two young masters.

Given another life, A Yin didn't want to interfere. She hid herself in the human world and lived alone. Even when she happened to run into them, she treated them as strangers.

But for some reason, the two brothers who had once loathed her and avoided her at every turn began to pursue her affection like madmen.

After A Yin died, gloom hung over the Tan estate year-round. Every room was sealed up, the soul lamp burned without end, and for ten whole years the place had no trace of life.

The home that had once echoed with laughter fell apart, and the three brothers became strangers to one another.

One day, as a sedan passed along the main street, its curtain lifted.

The eldest young master raised his eyes. A slender figure in a green skirt, with dark hair, flashed past.

As she was about to disappear into the distance, a tender voice called out, “A Yin.”

A Yin.

The cup shattered. The person in the sedan hid in the shadows, his gaze dark and clinging.

Through a twist of fate, A Yin was brought back to the Tan estate. She always felt something was strange about the eldest young master. He would reach out to touch her from time to time, stare at her with a peculiar look, and treat her far better than he should. Even her usually gentle husband had become a little unfamiliar.

He came silently from behind and wrapped his arms around her waist, his lips brushing her ear. “Yinyin, we're married. Why are you hiding from your brother?”

His touch made A Yin tremble all over. Her brother wasn't... wasn't he supposed to like boys?

Still, things were mostly fine. Life at the Tan estate was safe and comfortable, but she longed for a wider world.

On the night before she was to leave, A Yin gently pushed the door open. Her lashes fluttered, and she spoke cautiously. “Thank you, Eldest Young Master, for looking after me and teaching me all this time. I... I still plan to return to Changning.”

The eldest young master listened in silence. A Yin thought he'd agreed, and beamed with delight, but the door suddenly slammed shut.

A Yin gripped her sleeve and turned around in alarm. The eldest young master's eyes were dark and deep. When she retreated, the younger young master's shoulder held her fast, and as she fell, a strong arm caught her around the waist.

“Does A Yin really want to leave her brothers?” Sheer fabric slipped away as fingertips stroked her trembling back, the voice tender and shadowy.

They had once thought A Yin didn't matter. Now they were crazed to possess every part of her.

Coming soon: Transmigrated into a Sickly Male Side Character's Puppet

A Ning transmigrated into a book. Unfortunately, she became the puppet of a sickly, obsessive male side character.

And he's the kind who'll snap people's necks at any moment and slaughter everyone at the slightest provocation!

To keep him from noticing anything amiss, she carefully pretended to be a lifeless doll every day, afraid of making him unhappy.

But... the way he looked at her grew stranger and more heated by the day.

Until he actually made a move on the puppet!

The man pulled her into his arms and kissed her gently, his voice tinged with something eerie and obsessive. “You'll stay with me forever, won't you?”

She realized he was a psychopath!

“If you dare deceive me, I'll tear you limb from limb!”

Every day he held her as she slept, dressed her up and toyed with her, and kissed her as he pleased. Things grew more and more out of control. Seeing that this couldn't end well, she deliberately set a trap and vanished in a blaze of destruction during a great battle, making her escape.

After faking her death and living under a new identity for a while, she suddenly came face-to-face with the man, smiling darkly. He tilted his head, his eyes blood-red. “A Ning, you dared to deceive me?”

Threatened with being turned into a puppet if she ever deceived him or tried to run away again, A Ning spent every day walking on eggshells, trying to handle his unpredictable moods.

But the man, who had previously been content with touching and cuddling her, was no longer satisfied with that.

He was becoming more and more... twisted!
