Help! I Have to Win Over That Brooding, Possessive Beauty (Transmigrate into a Book)

[A gloomy, unhinged beauty pretending to be a gentle, fatherly type VS a warm little ray of sunshine]

After Yan Zhaoyuan fell into the water, she transmigrated into a book.

The System told her that to get home, she had to win over the villain, Rong Yu, a gloomy, sickly, poisonous beauty.

To win him over, she had no choice but to follow the System's script and perform a cliched redemption story. But every time Rong Yu appeared only after dark, he scared her so badly that she fled the courtyard in a panic.

Later...

She accidentally brushed against his cool fingertips and instinctively squeezed them. He trembled and pulled away, staring at her.

Yan Zhaoyuan thought, Maybe winning over the villain isn't impossible after all...

She suddenly got bolder, approached him, rose onto her tiptoes, and kissed his cheek.

At that moment, she heard his heartbeat fall into disarray with her own ears.

Rong Yu has a twin brother, Rong Xuzhi. He looks exactly like the villain, but has a red mole between his brows. He's handsome, kind, warm and fatherly, and an upright male lead in every sense. Even his voice is especially gentle.

Yan Zhaoyuan was able to stay thanks to his kindness.

Since childhood, this was exactly the kind of good man she had dreamed of, so she couldn't help paying him a little extra attention.

One afternoon, she chatted and laughed with him beneath the eaves, telling him about her ideal type: "I've always liked men who are gentle, patient, attentive, smile a lot, and know how to cook."

Sunlight filled Rong Xuzhi's eyes. He smiled like a spring breeze, a faint blush spreading across his face.

Yan Zhaoyuan couldn't help reaching out to poke his smooth cheek.

Rong Xuzhi's eyes flickered, and he gazed at her, dazed.

At that moment, she always had the strange feeling that something was watching her from a dark room, following her closely, growing hotter and more intense by the day.

As if it would burn right through her back.

Rong Yu, at first: As long as Ah Yuan can stay, it doesn't matter which one she likes. In the end, both are me, and she can only ever like me.

Rong Yu, now: Who did Ah Yuan stay for?!

*

After Ah Yuan took Rong Xuzhi by the wrist, gazed shyly at his profile, and lightly kissed his wrist, Rong Yu couldn't take it anymore.

He broke free of his restraints and came through the heavy rain, dragging his clanking chains behind him. He collapsed at Ah Yuan's bed and wound their wrists together.

Yan Zhaoyuan woke from her dream in a fright and met a pair of bloodshot eyes.

"Ah Yuan."

"You can't leave me."

He brought their bound hands to his lips, nuzzled them with his cheek, and reached up to pull down the bed curtains.

"Even if we die,"

"we have to be together. Forever."

[Reading Guide]

1. HE. The male lead is very unhinged and very much in love, and longs to cuddle. He won't hurt the female lead, but at first she's a little scared of the male lead who appears at night.

2. Rong Yu and Rong Xuzhi are the same person. "Xuzhi" is a courtesy name that means the same as "Yu": a gift. Zhaoyuan is a fierce, free bird in bright sunlight, so the heroine is pure and sweet but not stupid.

3. The second point is a hint. It doesn't matter whether you figure it out. Not spelling it out makes it more exciting.

Theme: Live positively and optimistically. There's always a way around every difficulty.
