In the seventh year of her relationship with Li Yang, Zhu Chunyan was diagnosed with a hereditary terminal illness.

She had planned to spend her remaining life saying a proper goodbye to Li Yang. But perhaps it was the seven-year itch: Li Yang grew colder toward her by the day.

One evening, she got off work early to surprise Li Yang, only to see her meeting with her first love, whom she hadn't seen in ages. Li Yang wore a bright, radiant smile Zhu Chunyan hadn't seen in a long time.

Like a flower on the verge of wilting, brought back to life by a drink of fresh water.

"Oh, you mean Zhu Chunyan? I regret it so much. She's so boring. She never takes the initiative, no matter what, not even in bed..."

"At first I thought of her as just a friend. I never expected her to cling to me so shamelessly, and for seven whole years."

"Now I'm stuck, and I don't even know how to get rid of her."

She listened quietly, lowering her lashes in sorrow. Then she deleted every way to contact Li Yang and slipped silently out of her life. There was no need to say goodbye.

She thought she should spend the rest of her life living for herself.

They met again at the hospital. The weather was lovely that day, and she was feeling a little better. She was chatting happily with the girl in the next bed. When they both reached for the same thing on the floor, they accidentally bumped heads, looking quite intimate.

After that, Li Yang laid into her: "Zhu Chunyan, do you have any idea how hard I've been looking for you? Is this how you repay me? Flirting with someone else right in front of me? Cheating on me?"

It was Li Yang.

Watching her lose control, Zhu Chunyan realized that the woman in front of her really had grown much thinner. Her eyes were red and wet, yet she looked so full of life. There was no need to explain anything to her.

Weren't they already over?

She disappeared again. This time, Li Yang would never find her.

*

Li Yang felt like she was going insane. She was going insane trying to find Zhu Chunyan.

Today marked the 99th day since Zhu Chunyan disappeared for the second time, and the eighth year since they had officially gotten together.

But Li Yang still couldn't find her.

She regretted it terribly. After arguing with Zhu Chunyan at the hospital that day, she went home and woke with a start in the middle of the night, suddenly remembering that Zhu Chunyan had been wearing a hospital gown and a knitted cap. She had been shockingly thin, almost skin and bones.

Zhu Chunyan had to be sick, and seriously so. And Li Yang had cursed her out and accused her of cheating.

She searched for her for a long time before finally finding her, but it was at the very end of Zhu Chunyan's life.

Zhu Chunyan sat lazily in her wheelchair, basking in the sun. When she saw Li Yang, she only coolly told her to leave, paying no attention to how utterly distraught Li Yang was.

She said, "I really don't want to die in front of you."

"Zhu Chunyan, I won't let you die!"

"...Too late."

This time, Li Yang truly regretted everything. She wished she could take it all back, but time could not be turned around.

- Bonus Scene -

Later, Zhu Chunyan faked her death and escaped. Li Yang slept with her memorial portrait for three years.

They met again three years later, at the wedding of Zhu Chunyan's closest childhood friend.

The other bride was none other than Zhu Chunyan, alive again after supposedly dying.

Li Yang watched helplessly as they married, tender and loving, with eyes only for each other.

There was nothing she could do to stop them. After drifting through the wedding in a daze, she spent the entire night clutching Zhu Chunyan's portrait and crying.

But there would never again be a girl named Zhu Chunyan who loved her.

1. "My Scum Alpha Wife, Transmigrated as the Sickly, Obsessive Omega Heroine's Live-In Spouse" (You're welcome to follow it, xoxo)

Shen Dengzhou was a modern-day inheritor of many forms of intangible cultural heritage, including ceramics and martial arts. But one night, she died suddenly from overwork and transmigrated into an ancient-era, melodramatic ABO novel. A marriage contract bound her to marry Lu Xueji, the frail, sickly Omega heroine, and she was even expected to marry into her family?!

The original owner of her body was a spoiled Alpha, a wastrel who never applied herself, spent her days drinking and carousing, and had a large bevy of female admirers. Naturally, she had no desire to marry the Omega heroine.

But she had another identity in secret: the sharpest weapon in the Crown Princess's arsenal. She was made to handle every dirty, exhausting job, living a double life in every sense.

To stay alive, Shen Dengzhou had no choice but to accept both identities. Once she completed this mission, she would be able to divorce the Omega heroine, and they could each go their own way. The plot would return to its proper course as well.

So by day, she molded clay and made ceramics at home, treating the Omega heroine with polite respect. By night, she forced herself to go on missions to kill and rob. Her life was fulfilling and thrilling in equal measure.

One night, she was ordered to kill someone again. But when she arrived, she saw her frail wife, an Omega who panted after just a few steps and never lifted a finger around the house, snap her target's neck with one hand. Her gaze was icy, like a bloodthirsty demon.

The moment Lu Xueji turned around and saw her, she cried out in shock, her face pale with fear, and threw herself into Shen Dengzhou's arms, trembling: "My wife, that was terrifying! I only came out for a walk, and that person just snapped their own neck and died. They even had to die right in front of me! Waaaah~"

Shen Dengzhou: "...My dear, maybe wipe the blood off your hands before you say that."

Also, who goes for a walk at a funeral home dozens of miles outside the city? Were you planning to enjoy a romantic evening with the corpses?

~

Ever since the Omega heroine's identity was exposed, her attitude toward Shen Dengzhou grew strange.

She kept challenging Shen Dengzhou to test her, kept asking her to sleep in the master bedroom, and, worst of all... every time she went into heat, she needed Shen Dengzhou's help, five, six, seven, eight times in one night!

Shen Dengzhou: My kidneys won't survive this, qvq~

And she discovered that she and the Omega heroine were linked by shared sensations...

Whenever her frail wife felt unwell, Shen Dengzhou knew at once, and she would feel unwell too. She could only stay by her side and take care of her. This continued until the mission was complete, Lu Xueji's health improved, and the true Alpha heroine appeared. Then Shen Dengzhou could finally bow out.

One moonless, windy night, Shen Dengzhou quietly climbed over the wall to leave. But just as she reached the top, she was knocked unconscious. When she woke, she was trapped on the bed in a thin nightgown, with dozens of pounds of black iron shackles around her ankles.

Lu Xueji smiled gently and kindly in front of her, her fingertips lingering on Shen Dengzhou's neck as if she were about to snap it. "Why are you leaving, my wife? Wasn't my family's thousands of deeds to land enough for you? Were our gold, silver, and copper mines not tempting enough? Or... have you grown tired of me and decided to find someone new?"

Shen Dengzhou: "...Put your hand down. We can talk this out!"

Lu Xueji took Shen Dengzhou's hand and placed it on her belly, smiling bashfully. "Would my wife really want our child to be born without one of its mothers? So if you run again, I'll break your legs!"

Shen Dengzhou: "???"

Shen Dengzhou: "...qvq~"

Help! She seems to have provoked an obsessive, unhinged woman!

· A female version of Mr. and Mrs. Smith

· They don't share sensations from the start. That happens much later

2. "The Scum Alpha's Dark Moonlight, Her Disabled, Sinister Omega Boss" (I really want to write this one too, ahhh)

Shen Hemian is a top-rated employee at the Quick Transmigration Bureau. This time, she receives the role of a lovesick supporting female character and becomes an Alpha.

The script keeps her very busy. She has to throw obstacles in the two leads' way to deepen their relationship, while also raising the disabled villain's corruption score to move the plot forward.

The disabled villain, Song Yanmiao, is an Omega. On the surface, she's gentle, harmless, frail, and detached. In truth, she's ruthless, obsessive, and sinister. Later, she causes the two leads plenty of trouble, only to finally come to her senses. She gives away her entire fortune but still can't escape a tragic death.

Shen Hemian diligently follows the plot, doing everything she can to bully the disabled villain and raise her corruption score.

The disabled villain is her immediate supervisor. She often works late into the night without a break, forcing Shen Hemian to work overtime too.

With the villain looking on in astonishment, Shen Hemian knocks her out and threatens her viciously: "If you make me work overtime until I go bald again, you'll have to quintuple my year-end bonus. I'll bankrupt you!"

The disabled villain never eats on time and suffers from severe stomach problems. Shen Hemian cooks for her herself and forces her to eat: "If you don't eat, I'll feed you myself, and I'll keep feeding you until you do!"

The disabled villain also refuses to see a doctor. When her old injuries flare up, she grits her teeth and bears it instead of getting treatment. Shen Hemian carries her straight to the hospital: "You can't die yet. Before you do, pay me my five-times year-end bonus, three quarters' worth of bonuses, and eighteen months of overtime pay."

And just like that, Song Yanmiao's corruption score skyrockets. Completing the mission is just around the corner!

Once, Shen Hemian attended a workplace variety show with Song Yanmiao. As usual, Song Yanmiao was cold and aloof, like a secretary who didn't care about anyone.

Unexpectedly, the comments started shipping them out of nowhere:

[Shen Hemian is always keeping an eye on President Song. Last time President Song nearly fell out of her wheelchair, Shen Hemian immediately caught her in her arms!]

[Right! She even eats the food President Song won't touch, and she enjoys every bite!]

[When their rival company went after them, Shen Hemian handled everything herself. President Song didn't have to lift a finger!]

[This is the puppy's overflowing love for her boss!]

Shen Hemian: "??? No, I only saved her because otherwise I'd lose my year-end bonus! We can't waste food! And if someone comes after us, shouldn't we fight back?!"

I'm not a puppy!!!

At last, Song Yanmiao's corruption score reached the threshold. Shen Hemian finally breathed a sigh of relief. After completing the plot, saving Song Yanmiao from the tragic fate of the two leads, she left.

She died in Song Yanmiao's arms, joking, "President Song, you don't have to give me a year-end bonus anymore."

Song Yanmiao kissed her on the lips like a madwoman. "Don't die! I'll give you everything!"

*

Shen Hemian didn't take on any missions for a long time. She spent her days watching colleagues complete their assignments in different Quick Transmigration worlds and enjoying the gossip.

Then one day, the System screamed at her to go back: "If you don't return, Song Yanmiao is going to destroy the entire Quick Transmigration Bureau!"

Shen Hemian: "...What?"

The moment she returned, she was met by a pair of bloodshot, sinister eyes. Her hands and feet were covered in shackles. "Special Assistant Shen, how many chains will it take to make you stay by my side of your own free will?"

· An obsessive, sinister disabled Omega boss x an all-rounder Alpha secretary

· The disabled villain can hear Shen Hemian talking to the System

Theme: Some people and feelings should never be betrayed. Once you betray them, you'll regret it too late.
