Lian Qiao dies in a car accident and unexpectedly gets bound to a transmigration-into-a-book System.
Among all the available love interests, she chooses as her main target the beautiful, powerful, tragic hero. As a child, he was switched at birth by his wet nurse, who passed off her own son as the heir. After he was found and brought back, his birth parents still didn't love him. Later, he imprisoned the wet nurse's son like a dog.
But when she arrives, her very first meeting with her target is watching him snap a maid's neck.
Danger!
But she can't change her choice, so Lian Qiao has no option but to grit her teeth and go for it. Setting everything else aside, he's her favorite type of character.
By the time she's charmed him into grinning, and his gaze has changed from distant and fierce to tender, she thinks the world of the book will finally start running as it should.
But nope.
She learns from the System that her target still has an emotional knot inside him, and she needs to help him untangle it.
Lian Qiao: [robotic voice]
How is she supposed to know what his emotional knot is?
When Yan Zhichun was fifteen, his birth parents found him and brought him home. But all he got was the contempt of everyone in the Duke's household.
In a fit of rage, he killed the person who had changed the course of his life, then confined that person's child and made him live like a pig or a dog.
He had no regrets about what he'd done.
That was, until a bright and cheerful young woman entered his life.
As the wounds in his heart began to heal, he also started worrying that if she ever learned about his sordid past, she'd leave him...
Bright little ray of sunshine x sensitive, fragile, dark man
It's about a man who falls for a woman as she wins him over, and fears she'll leave once she learns about his dark past. But the woman actually has an omniscient perspective, and won't despise him even after learning the truth.
P.S. 1. The blurb is much better than the last one, right?
2. It has harem-protagonist vibes, but it's 1v1, and both leads are virgins.
Theme: People with a strong sense of self deserve to be loved.
