The Danmei Side Character Refuses the Love Triangle

She is Ling Fuying, an utterly unremarkable cannon-fodder supporting girl in a danmei novel. One day, she learns that her husband is together with her master. Now she understands: she's a part of their little game... Her hypocritical husband is the novel's shou. Beneath the refined, gentle facade of an elegant young nobleman, he has the coldest of hearts. Her master, who seems like an untouchable beauty on a high mountain, is the novel's gong. He appears pure, holy, and beyond reach, but in private, when the cold poison flares up, he loses his senses, his face flushed red. Her elder brother, the exalted and arrogant lord of the palace, covets her master. He's willing to go from gong to shou, but eventually exits the story in disappointment, unable to win the handsome man. And the sickly young lord with a green-tea personality who gives her trouble is in love with her husband. Frail and wheelchair-bound, he has skin as white as snow and features like a painting. A misty veil seems to cloud his eyes, and it takes little to make him cry with red-rimmed eyes. In short, her husband loves her master, her elder brother loves her master, and her master loves... her master is at the top of the food chain. In this world where men loving men is the norm, the main characters have no sense of propriety or shame and no moral boundaries. They fight and scheme against one another, and the shocking scenes are truly something to behold. As for her, the cannon-fodder supporting girl, well... she can't escape an early death. Reborn, she wants nothing more than to be a lazy fish, stay out of the fray, and live a quiet life. She has no desire to get caught up in the love-hate entanglement between her husband and her master. But at some point, they start looking at her strangely. Her husband keeps pestering her to fulfill her duties as his wife. Her master's eyes turn red as he takes hold of her wrist. As for her sworn brother and the sickly rival in love... Her cheeks burn. * At first, they only watched from the shadows, coveting the girl's sweet scent. Every breath she took held them spellbound. In the end, they fought until they were bloody, crawling at her feet and begging for even the slightest bit of affection. [A short-tempered, slow-witted heroine who always thinks they're gay × an entire cast of unhinged obsessives] [A guide to training dogs] Notes: ★ The heroine is lazy in the early chapters. There are few fantasy elements at first, but midway through she officially begins her journey of cultivation and rises to the peak. ★ All the male characters are heterosexual by nature. The plot manipulates them into a degree of cognitive distortion. ★ The relationships between characters in the novel are not equivalent to those in the real world.

Qi Tanyuan never expected his friend Wen Xihe to marry a mortal woman. After the wedding, Wen Xihe became insecure, obsessed with his looks, and suspicious of everything. Qi Tanyuan thought he'd gone mad. Even more unexpectedly, Wen Xihe suddenly died, leaving behind his lonely, helpless wife. She was timid and weak, and Qi Tanyuan paid her little attention. But later, he began secretly stashing her clothes, craving her care, and coveting her scent. He grew more and more greedy. He flew into a rage when his eldest disciple took advantage of the situation and stole Hua Xi away. He even fought him with his bare hands. With red-rimmed eyes, Qi Tanyuan clung to Hua Xi like a madman. "Hua Xi, please, take pity on me." * Hua Xi transmigrates to the cultivation world and becomes an orphan with nowhere to go. Though she is in danger, she meets Wen Xihe, who is traveling the world. He's gentle and thoughtful, and of noble status. The two soon become cultivation partners. But after they marry, he abandons his former gentlemanly ways and becomes insatiable in certain matters. He even deliberately moves the hand covering her face, making her look at him. Though Hua Xi is shy, she can't refuse him. He keeps her tangled up in wild abandon. Aside from that, they have a loving marriage, but the people around them don't approve. His friend Qi Tanyuan dislikes her so much that he won't even see her. Hua Xi knows why. Qi Tanyuan is a true heaven's favorite, noble and aloof. She has only ever seen him from a distance, usually from behind. She doesn't mind, but then Wen Xihe suddenly dies. With nowhere else to go, she is taken in by Qi Tanyuan. After living under the same roof for many years, Hua Xi finally gets used to having him around. Still, she is sometimes a little afraid of him. His gaze seems to want to strip off her clothes, making her scalp prickle. Only later does she learn that he is the male lead of the book, while she is the wicked supporting girl who stands in the way of his relationship with the heroine. In the end, her true nature will be exposed, she'll be driven out of the sect, and she'll die haunted by evil spirits because of her special constitution. To deal with her spirit-attracting constitution, Hua Xi sets her sights on Xie Wuqi, the second male lead, who has a pure Yang constitution. He's Qi Tanyuan's eldest disciple, a true aloof beauty: clad in white, with dark hair, elegant and otherworldly, as pure as a handful of snow. They quickly fall in love. But as they hold hands, they suddenly come face-to-face with Qi Tanyuan, whose icy expression seems ready to pierce right through her. In the middle of the night, a strange noise comes from the door. Hua Xi gets up to investigate and sees a tall, ghostlike figure outside. Her heart skips a beat. She's about to shut the door when the man wedges his knuckles into the gap. Qi Tanyuan brushes her sweat-damp hair back and rubs her wrist bone. His voice is twisted and eerie. "Hua Xi, what's so good about him? Do you really like him that much?" Suddenly, a cold, clammy touch creeps up the back of her neck. A horrifying thought rises in Hua Xi's mind. Standing behind her is her dead husband, transformed into a vengeful ghost who refuses to leave her alone. His gentle words drift slowly into her ear. "My wife, why are you afraid of me?" And they're not the only ones looking for her. There's also Xie Wuqi, whom she used and then discarded, and Xiang Yu, the heroine, who wears a strange expression. Hua Xi backs away in alarm. Xie Wuqi's face is icy as he closes in on her, step by step. "Hua Xi, did you leave me for Master?" She realizes that things seem to have gone a little off track. At first, they saw one another as the best of brothers, or as a master and disciple who trusted each other. In the end, they can't wait to kill one another. Theme: Happiness comes first
