[Angsty, dog-blood romance with a groveling hero]
The male lead starts out aloof and untouchable, then becomes obsessive and half-mad later on (hides face). Read on only if you can handle that...
Xue Qin stayed up all night reading an angsty novel about a couple chasing and fleeing from each other. When she opened her eyes, she had become the unfortunate cannon-fodder heroine, in the middle of her wedding ceremony with the cold male lead.
On their wedding night, Song Ce lifted her red veil and looked at her with nothing but disgust. After all, the heroine had schemed and schemed to secure this marriage.
To make matters worse, Xue Qin was forcibly bound to a life-extending System. Her remaining lifespan depended on Song Ce's affection for her.
Looking at the flashing red warning on her life bar, Xue Qin steeled herself. So what if this meant forcing him to love her?
As the saying goes, it only takes a thin veil for a woman to win over a man. She refused to believe she couldn't win the heart of this aloof, untouchable man!
Song Ce had lived like a bright moon in a clear breeze, a gentleman praised by everyone.
He was cautious and circumspect. The only time he had ever gone astray was when he was forced to marry Xue Qin, a woman as venomous as a snake or scorpion.
He loathed her innocent, pitiful gaze, her cautious touches, her affected concern, everything about her...
But one day, Xue Qin, who had always been clingy and obedient, suddenly placed a divorce agreement on his desk.
The tender gaze she had always turned on him was now terrifyingly cold.
Xue Qin: "I'll give you what you wanted and set you free."
Song Ce, his eyes bloodshot: "Dream on if you think you can escape me!"
After finally accumulating enough life points, Xue Qin was horrified to discover that the male lead, who in the original novel had been as refined as an orchid and as elegant as a jade tree, had somehow become a scheming, obsessive possessive maniac!
