The Jilted Fiancée of 1970

Wen Ruo transmigrated into a period novel as the male lead's fiancée, a woman who keeps digging her own grave.

In the original story, when the male lead's family faced disaster, the original owner publicly broke off their engagement. Not long afterward, she married the villain and did plenty of things to hurt the male and female leads. In the end, her fate was utterly tragic.

When Wen Ruo arrived, the original owner had just publicly called off her engagement to the male lead.

Since the engagement was already over, she planned to stay away from the protagonists and keep herself safe. But then she was bound to the "Villainess Reform System." To avoid being struck by lightning as punishment, Wen Ruo had no choice but to obediently complete the tasks.

System: You can't break off the engagement and hurt the male lead.

Wen Ruo: Done! I'll shower him with sweet words and win him over!

System: The villain hurt the male lead. You have to get revenge for him.

Wen Ruo: ...Done! No need to draw blood. I'll just destroy them psychologically.

System: You have to do 3,000 good things for the male lead.

Wen Ruo: Wah! *Tears welling in her eyes.* Done!

System: You haven't done a single one in a whole month!

Some time later, Wen Ruo suddenly realized that although she hadn't completed the task, the System wasn't striking her with lightning like before.

Pointing boldly at the next task, Wen Ruo tested it: "I'm not doing this one!"

System: You refused a task, so I'll strike you with lightning. Wait, what? Never mind... If you won't do it, you won't do it. Just do the next one.

After that, the System's tasks suddenly changed to holding hands with the male lead, hugging him, kissing him, and so on!

Wen Ruo was stunned. "Why has this suddenly turned into a romance System?!"

At first:

Lin Sen: Wen Ruo is getting close to me and accompanying me to the countryside. She must have an ulterior motive. I need to be on my guard.

Later:

Lin Sen: Where is Wen Ruo? Why is she either fighting at the village entrance or listening to gossip at the far end of the village every day? I never even see her after work! Is this what getting close to me looks like?

On the first day of snow in the capital, Ning Nanjia married Chen Che at the lowest point in her life.

Chen Che was the heir to one of the capital's top families, a noble and aloof man who seemed untouchable.

Their marriage was a contract. They agreed to be loyal allies to each other.

After they married, Chen Che treated her like a gentleman, polite and considerate, never overstepping. They had separate rooms and sometimes barely saw each other for an entire week. Even when they were forced to lie in the same bed, Chen Che kept a clear boundary between them and never so much as touched her.

Chen Che even agreed that she could date other people in private, as long as she didn't do it openly.

Ning Nanjia was quite happy with this arrangement.

But fate had other plans. At the company banquet, she learned that her ex-boyfriend was Chen Che's half-brother and sworn enemy. Her position was no longer uncomplicated, and she had lost the right to be Chen Che's ally. Feeling uneasy, Ning Nanjia decided to tell him the truth.

That night, they sat across from each other at the dining table.

After explaining her relationship with his younger brother, Ning Nanjia breathed a sigh of relief. "If this bothers you, we can get divorced, and you can find another ally."

Ning Nanjia had thought divorce was a foregone conclusion, but his unexpected answer was: "It doesn't bother me. We won't get divorced. We'll keep things as they are."

The man's eyes were deep and complicated, carrying a meaning she couldn't understand.

But after that day, more and more things began to surprise her.

In the morning, Chen Che waited so they could leave together. In the evening, he came home for dinner. They spent more time together in a single day than they used to in an entire week.

Their home had been decorated in an extremely cool, minimalist style, but suddenly exquisite vases appeared in the living room and on the dining table. Lilies and roses were changed out every day, all of them flowers she liked.

And then there was Chen Che, standing before her, looking slightly disheveled after a long day, telling her that he had begun to fall for her...

All of it took her by surprise.

One day after they were married, Ning Nanjia attended the opening ceremony of Chen Che's stepsister's business.

That afternoon, Chen Che saw a photo posted by his younger brother on WeChat, using his work phone.

In one of the photos, he spotted Ning Nanjia at once. They stood close together, one looking down as he spoke and the other looking up to listen.

He tossed his phone aside without changing expression, but an invisible storm gathered in his eyes.

The next night, at midnight, Chen Che, who never posted on WeChat, put a post on both his personal and work accounts. It was only four words:

Happy birthday.

The picture showed Ning Nanjia with her eyes closed, making a wish over a cake in the dim candlelight.

Ning Nanjia was his. No one else could take her away.
