Qi Cunxin was only a fire-tending maid in the Eastern Ling residence. Day after day, she crouched by the smoky stove, her face and hands covered in ash. Life was dull, money was always tight, and the little copper coins she earned never seemed enough. To survive, she secretly worked outside, washing clothes for courtesans at the pleasure house. It was exhausting work, but it gave her a few extra coins to hide away. Then one day, her life changed. In the back courtyard of the flower house, she saw him. A beautiful young man locked in an iron cage. His face was pale, his breath weak, his life hanging by a thread. The madam who had bought him already despised him, calling him useless and a waste of money. Qi Cunxin was sitting on a stool, scrubbing clothes. When she lifted her head, her eyes met his. His gaze was so bright and beautiful that she forgot to breathe. That day, she emptied the little silver she had saved for so long. She bought him, and carried him back to the residence. From then on, he became hers. He was quiet, gentle, always following her like a shadow. He smiled sweetly, clung to her with every step, and looked at her as though she was his entire world. More than that, he was impossibly handsome. Qi Cunxin swore that one day, when she was free, she would marry him. But she never guessed the truth. Xie Miao once thought the most exciting thing in life was watching people's final struggles before death, or stepping on them with power. Until he met her. For the first time, he wanted to pretend: to act pure and flawless, like snow in spring or willows in the wind. At first, it was just a game: to toy with her innocent heart. Yet in the end, the one who was captured... was him. --- ML: Cold and ruthless in public, but in private a spoiled, clingy and obedient. (Obsessed and possessive) FL: Kind and adorable.

One morning, Lu Yunchu found herself transmigrated into a novel and became a vicious supporting female character infatuated with the male protagonist. She intended to drug and forcefully have her way with the male protagonist, but due to a series of misunderstandings, she ended up scheming against the male protagonist's frail younger brother. In the end, she had no choice but to marry him. This secondary male character in the book was merely a plot device, created solely to prevent the development of the relationship between the male and female protagonists. The book only briefly describes him: unable to speak, difficulty swallowing food, covered in injuries. After the female supporting character marries the male supporting character, she directed all her resentment towards him, wishing to kill him. With these thoughts in mind, Lu Yunchu kicked open the tightly closed door. Wen Zhan had just finished vomiting and, out of fear of making Lu Yunchu disgusted, deliberately latched the door. When he saw her kick the door open and enter, his face turned pale and he crawled into the darkness in a sorry state. Lu Yunchu slowly approached him, and when he was trembling to the point of convulsions, she spoke gently, "Are you done vomiting? I made some vegetable porridge. Would you like a bowl?" [Content Warning] A redemption story where the male protagonist suffers greatly. The female protagonist is not OP either.
