Why Is My Contract Husband Catching Feelings Again?

Everyone who knows Jiang Yuqiao says she's spoiled and cruel. But with a face like hers, people can put up with those little flaws.

Everyone waited for the Jiang family to cast her aside for good, ready to kick her when she was down or take advantage of her vulnerability.

Until Ji Huaicen showed up.

They got married after meeting only three times.

Everyone said Jiang Yuqiao had hit the jackpot, latching onto Ji Huaicen as her powerful backer.

But Jiang Yuqiao didn't see it that way. With a face like hers, anyone who married her would be the one marrying up.

Ji Huaicen was the lucky one, getting to catch her eye.

Jiang Yuqiao felt that something had been off lately. She seemed to be able to travel through time, often returning to a few hours earlier.

The first time, she finally learned why Ji Huaicen had married her.

She'd always thought he was after her looks, but it turned out he'd been using her as a stand-in. She didn't have much affection for Ji Huaicen, but no one had ever treated her like that before.

So she slapped him, then went back an hour.

The second time, she was bossing Ji Huaicen around when time rewound again.

Later, she thought she'd figured out a pattern.

She grabbed Ji Huaicen by the tie and said, slowly and clearly,

"Ji Huaicen, did you just get turned on again?"

Sure enough, she found herself outside Ji Huaicen's office once more.

Jiang Yuqiao: ...

Does this whole world revolve around Ji Huaicen or what?!

Then something called the System came looking for her.

It told her that the world she was in was a novel, and Ji Huaicen was the gentle second male lead who was deeply in love with the heroine. She was just a stand-in he'd found.

But now, his character seemed to be starting to fall apart.

To stop Ji Huaicen from developing feelings for her, whenever his desire for her reached a certain level, the world would reset.

Jiang Yuqiao: ...That's bad.

The world had already reset many times, and the System believed Jiang Yuqiao was the one seducing Ji Huaicen. After all, Jiang Yuqiao was a vicious, brainless supporting character.

System: "From now on, you are not allowed to pay Ji Huaicen any attention."

Jiang Yuqiao: "Are you sure?"

System: "Of course! Do as I say!"

So Jiang Yuqiao looked down at Ji Huaicen and said, "You are not allowed to talk to me without my permission."

Ji Huaicen replied gently, "All right."

The next second, the world reset.

System: "What? No! Why?!"

Jiang Yuqiao said lazily, "I told you, he's a pervert."

Ji Huaicen felt that he'd been acting strangely lately. Everything that happened seemed familiar. Whenever he looked at Jiang Yuqiao, he felt a faint sense of anticipation, but it always came to nothing.

But in his dreams, Jiang Yuqiao's beautiful, slender hand finally landed on his face.

He stood still, lifted his hand to cover the back of hers, stared straight at that dazzling face, and kissed her palm.

Knowing Ji Huaicen wouldn't remember anything from before a reset, Jiang Yuqiao took every opportunity to mess with him.

She stood on his shoulders and made him put her shoes on for her.

Then, after a reset, Jiang Yuqiao tried to act as though nothing had happened, but the man grabbed her by the ankle.

"Sweetheart, why'd you stop stepping on me?"
