The Supporting Villainess's Professionalism

(I drifted away from the outline as I wrote and got stuck, so I rushed to the ending.)

This is a chaotic mess. You'd be better off not reading it.

After dying in the real world, Zhuang Yuan's soul finds refuge inside a novel. She is overjoyed at the chance to live again, but Li Tinglan barges in and puts an end to that.

To gain Li Tinglan's trust, Zhuang Yuan has no choice but to try every means of getting close to him, joining him on the path to stamping out the rebel faction.

As they spend time together, Zhuang Yuan gradually discovers Li Tinglan's true nature. Li Tinglan is handsome, graceful, and virtuous. Even a blockhead like Zhuang Yuan can't help being a little smitten.

When Zhuang Yuan is faced with Li Tinglan, uncontrollable thoughts keep popping into her mind. As soon as one appears, before she can even think it through, she proves it with her actions.

"I really want to kiss him."

"I want to hug him."

"I want to f*ck him."

Following the thoughts in her head, Zhuang Yuan gets more and more adept at taking liberties with Li Tinglan.

"Why are you looking at me?" At first, Li Tinglan feels very uncomfortable under Zhuang Yuan's gaze, which is fixed on him day after day.

"Because you're good-looking!" Zhuang Yuan replies shamelessly.

Gradually, Li Tinglan gets used to Zhuang Yuan watching him. In fact, when she doesn't look at him, he feels uneasy. "Has she fallen for someone else?"

In public, he is a refined and courteous gentleman. In private, he is a scheming, possessive, jealous man.

Li Tinglan keeps an eye on every man around Zhuang Yuan. The instant he senses anything amiss, he puts on a show like a peacock, revealing his black-lotus nature. His motto: My wife can only look at me. Those other losers shouldn't even enter her field of vision.

At first, Zhuang Yuan makes her feelings clear: I told you I like you, but I'm not going to be with you. Later, Li Tinglan takes action, leaving Zhuang Yuan no choice but to change her mind. After all, her waist just can't take it every morning.

Every morning when she gets up, Zhuang Yuan feels as though all her bones are about to fall apart. Who would have thought Li Tinglan would be so strong when he looks so slender?

Li Tinglan gets out of bed, picks up the clothes scattered on the floor, and looks at Zhuang Yuan with an unruffled expression. "Want to go again?"

Zhuang Yuan freezes.

Is this really the same refined and courteous Li Tinglan?

Zhuang Yuan joins Li Tinglan in rooting out the rebels and bringing peace to their country. She understands the path in his heart, and she can walk it by his side.

With everything settled, the two travel the world together.

People can only say of them, "Huaiyi and Luoxu, their love knows no bounds."

"You lost that bet," someone reminds him.

"Then I lost. Having met Zhuang Yuan, I have no regrets." Zhuang Yuan is the sweet rain that falls upon his world, mending his battered soul.

"With the Buddha above, I have only five wishes in this life."

First, may my wife be safe and have everything go her way.

Second, may my wife's smile always be with her.

Third, may my wife enjoy good health.

Fourth, may my wife remain devoted and love only me.

Fifth, may my wife and I be entangled with each other, life after life, never to part.

Note: 1. This blurb is only a small part of the full story and can't do it justice. In the middle and later parts, there are many twists besides the romance. I've planted clues in the first few chapters.
