Winning Over the Black-Hearted Lotus

(The novel switches to a paid subscription from Chapter 23 onward. The full novel costs only a cup of lemonade. I recommend buying one chapter at a time. Thanks for supporting the original, everyone. Kisses.)

University student Liu Ningxue transmigrates into a book as a cannon-fodder supporting female character with the same name.

In the original story, the cannon-fodder heroine loves the second male lead and can't let go of him. In the end, she dies taking a blade for him.

After entering the book, the System tells her: Your main mission is to change the original story's tragic ending for the male and female leads. Your side mission is to get Xie Xuanhuai's favorability toward you to 100. Once you complete your missions, you can go home. Your golden finger is that crying in front of him once will raise his favorability by one point.

Though Xie Xuanhuai is on the side of righteousness in the original story, he is ruthless and never lets a grudge go unavenged. He seems gentle and refined, but is actually a scheming, obsessive, black-hearted villain.

The good news: she has a golden finger that raises his favorability whenever she cries.

The bad news: she doesn't like crying.

Armed with this nearly useless golden finger, Liu Ningxue begins her diligent campaign to win him over. She keeps to the principle of avoiding trouble whenever possible and protecting herself, but still ends up encountering the black-hearted villain killing someone one night.

She runs without thinking, but the black-hearted villain corners her against a wall. In a voice restrained with madness, he asks, "Junior Sister Liu, why are you running?"

Later, when Liu Ningxue looks back on her journey to complete her missions, she realizes that while she was trying to win over the black-hearted villain, he was also repeatedly wavering on the line between good and evil.

Both leads are romantically inexperienced
