Lu Qi transmigrated.
One moment, he was struggling to survive in the apocalypse, nearly dying in the jaws of a zombie. The next, the System told him he'd transmigrated into a book, a modern romance novel, no less. His mission was to make sure the male lead and the female lead ended up together.
Lu Qi: ?
Seriously, can't you two manage to fall in love on your own? Why do you need to bring in outside help...
It wasn't until he met the female lead in person that he realized she was an extreme romance addict. Not only did she get lured away by all kinds of male side characters at the drop of a hat, she was also relentlessly tormented by the story's twisted, unhinged villain, creating one obstacle after another on the leads' road to love.
So, at the System's request, Lu Qi went to persuade the major villain, Xiao Hanyan, to stop tormenting the female lead...
Lu Qi: "I came to make a deal with you. I can give you information that will help you avoid death. In exchange, please stop targeting Ji An."
(System: ??? Are you allowed to say that?)
The ruthless villain, whose name struck terror into people's hearts, looked him over with interest, not taking Lu Qi's words very seriously.
"Your threats could use some work. My grudge with him isn't as simple as you think. If you want me to give up, you'll have to show me something more interesting..."
The tall man suddenly closed in on Lu Qi. His long, sharply defined fingers gripped Lu Qi's chin and forced him to look up at him.
Xiao Hanyan stared at Lu Qi's exceptionally handsome face, which seemed almost bewitching upon closer inspection. It was full of wariness and tension.
"Use yourself as the bargaining chip."
Lu Qi: !!!
