After I Pretended to Be Love-Struck, the Male Lead Read My Mind

A sharp-tongued, soft-hearted heroine with a rich inner world × a seemingly aloof, scheming, flirtatious hero

Luo Yuechan transmigrates into a novel about a destined hero as a supporting character hopelessly in love.

She devotes herself to the male lead, works tirelessly for him, and ultimately sacrifices herself to help him seize a fortuitous opportunity.

But the System tells her she must follow the plot to the end before she can go home, so she has no choice but to diligently play the lovestruck role.

When they first meet, she saves the male lead and gives him a precious pill. On the surface, Luo Yuechan urges him to take it. Inside, she is heartbroken:

This is the pill I’ve been saving for my breakthrough. It took me five whole years! Do you know what I went through during those five years?

Ji Xingyuan: “This is too precious. I can’t accept it.”

Luo Yuechan: He actually refused? What about the mission? Eat it. You have to eat it!

Ji Xingyuan: ?

To move the plot along, she looks at him through tearful eyes and says the line she’s meant to deliver, full of hope:

“I don’t want us to be just fellow disciples anymore.”

Next, the male lead is supposed to say, “I’ve always thought of you as my senior sister.” After that, they’ll address each other as senior sister and junior brother until they die...

Ji Xingyuan: “What a coincidence. Me neither.”

Luo Yuechan: ?

Later, Luo Yuechan is accidentally poisoned with the Six Desires Powder. Unless she cultivates dual cultivation, she’ll explode. Her cheeks flushed and her breathing ragged, she tells him, “Go, quickly,” while thinking:

“He’s so handsome, and his body is amazing. I really want to...”

He chuckles and bends down, drawing her into his arms:

“What, am I so despicable that you can’t spare me even the slightest bit of affection?”

After Ji Xingyuan falls into dire straits, a woman saves him. For some reason, he finds that he can hear her thoughts.

At first, he only tests her. The way she says one thing but means another is truly amusing.

But as his tests gradually turn into wholehearted affection, he realizes that he can stop caring about everything else.

Even if it’s all fake, even if it’s a lie, he would rather watch her smile forever, until he rots to ash.
