---Synopsis---

Pu Huaiyu transmigrates into the Green River Moonlight novel Spring Night, Singing of a Boat. She should have doting parents, a stereotypically evil sidekick, and enough wealth to go toe-to-toe with the male lead. But the moment she opens her eyes...

The heroine looks at her like she's a poor little thing. "You're awake? Your mansion's gone."

A mansion? Not a chance. Looks like she's stuck living the rental-apartment life.

And reflected in the mirror is a very, very dark-skinned aspiring athlete with striking, heroic features. She doesn't look like an evil second female lead. She looks more like the original story's devoted second male lead, who does everything for the heroine and secretly loves her, forced to keep his feelings buried.

Pu Huaiyu puts on a pair of sunglasses. "Emmmm... I guess I can live with that. Please change my ID to B City's Most Devoted, thank you."

Everyone knows a romance needs a catalyst.

For the heroine's sake, Pu Huaiyu is willing to pick a fight with anyone, even the male lead. She looks like an honest athlete who just trains hard, but she's actually viciously underhanded.

When the heroine isn't around: "Who do you think you are? You're an old man trying to pass off an old cucumber as a fresh one. Stop flattering yourself, will you?"

When the heroine is around: "QAQ I even called you brother-in-law, QAQ."

She's stubborn as a mule, much to the male lead's frustration.

So, to balance out the sides and fill the enormous plot hole left by the System assigning her the wrong identity, now that there's a gender-swapped devoted second male lead, a gender-swapped evil second female lead is only natural.

The man before her is dazzling and languid, like an orchid leaning at an angle, exuding a decadent air of luxurious indulgence.

Pu Huaiyu: "Oh... oh-ho."

The evil second female lead raises an eyebrow. "Where did this country girl come from?" Then she looks at the heroine. "Yan Zhou, is this the salesgirl you have your eye on?"

Pu Huaiyu: Take back one "oh-ho" and present you with an award made of the hardest material imaginable.

The Kui and Fan families have been close for generations, so Kui Zhen and Fan Yanzhou naturally grew up together. He knows full well that getting serious with a salesgirl would only ruin his good friend's reputation.

He devotes himself to helping his friend, offering advice and making plans. His friend thinks he and his younger sister would make a good match, and suggests he sacrifice himself to win her over.

Kui Zhen: Retracting that suggestion, and now my fists are clenched.

Later, Kui Zhen's advice becomes more and more halfhearted. Rather than try to force apart the two idiots who always end up glued to each other, his gaze lingers more and more on the figure who never pays him any mind, until disaster strikes.

A fist thrown in anger lands beside his face. The girl's fury is a call to arms with no turning back. Blood runs down the wall, marking the path back to the one person she has always been loyal to.

"I was born for Pu Manyin's happiness."

She says, "...But you'll never know why."

Those reddened eyes sear a brand into Kui Zhen's heart. Like a fire, they set the secret longing deep within him ablaze, until it consumes him entirely.

From then on, every insincere word and every pretense of inscrutability weighs on Kui Zhen's back, forcing him to kneel deferentially before the girl and become a cat at her feet, licking his lips and begging for affection.
