“I had been in a nominal contract marriage with the succubus president for three years.
On the day I proposed divorce.
He casually agreed, but suddenly a barrage of messages flashed above his head:
“”The psycho, the chains and toys in the basement are all customized according to the female supporting role’s size. What a gentleman act.”
“Female supporting role, the moment you sign, and when you wake up next, you’ll be in an intimate situation with the annoying male second.”
“Oh, the imprisonment play is finally coming. With this kind of hatred, it’s so exciting! The succubus seems to have barbs. The female supporting role has done so many bad things, and losing focus in her pupils is what she deserves…”
“Alas, female supporting role, you’re so muddle – headed. In these past few years, if you had given the male second a little kindness, this lovesick crazy person would have immediately fawned on you like a loyal dog. You wouldn’t have ended up hating him because of love and becoming so twisted…”
My hand holding the pen trembled, and I looked at the expressionless man in front of me:
“Well, let’s not divorce for now.”
1
“What?” Song Huainan slightly lifted his thin eyelids, his tone indifferent.
His nonchalant appearance made me wonder if I had been hallucinating those barrages just now.
I took a deep breath, put down the pen I had half – used for signing, and racked my brains to explain:
“I suddenly don’t want to divorce. A day as husband and wife means a hundred days of affection. After being together for three years, we’ve gotten used to each other’s presence. In fact, I’m a bit reluctant to leave you…”
As I spoke, the man’s expression gradually became puzzled, and I lost my confidence, my voice getting softer and softer.
My marriage to Song Huainan was an accident.
Five years ago, since an impoverished intern named Su Ting came to the company.
My smooth – sailing life turned into a mess.
My childhood sweetheart, who had promised to take care of me for a lifetime, fell in love with someone else and publicly called off our engagement, making me lose face.
Even my parents, who had always spoiled me, surprisingly sided with Su Ting.
I was insanely jealous. To prove that I wasn’t unwanted.
I married Song Huainan, the rumored gloomy and fierce succubus president that everyone avoided, in a fit of pique.
In the three years after marriage, I constantly tried to make things difficult for Su Ting but always ended up suffering setbacks.
Every time, either Song Huainan discovered it in advance and interrupted me.
Or it was a case of shooting myself in the foot by accident.
Until recently, my deeds of framing Su Ting were exposed, and I was completely ruined. Many of my friends took the initiative to cut off contact with me.
I knew that Song Huainan had always hated my vicious deeds and favored Su Ting.
Thinking that rather than waiting for him to kick me when I was down like those people, I might as well dump him first and seem more handsome.
When I sent a message proposing divorce, Song Huainan was in a very important meeting.
But he almost immediately called back.
“Reason.” The man’s voice came through the phone.
I laughed maliciously: “Last time the bathroom door wasn’t closed tightly, and I accidentally saw your exposed tail. It was slippery and disgusting.”
So now when I said such nonsense as “I can’t leave him”, not only Song Huainan, but I myself didn’t believe it…
“Sure you don’t want to divorce?” Without the expected sneer, the man’s deep voice pulled me back to my senses.
“I don’t want to divorce for now.”
I observed Song Huainan’s expression but didn’t see any joy on his face.
“As you like.” After a few seconds of pause, the man picked up the half – signed divorce agreement on the table and put it into the shredder.
The barrage popped up again:
“What’s going on with the vicious female supporting role? Why does she seem to have suddenly become smart?”
“Is Chen Lili finally getting wise and planning to cozy up to the male second? It’s a pity it’s a bit late now. The male second’s hatred has already grown and spread.”
“Who says it’s late? This timing is perfect. Didn’t you see the male second’s lips curving up happily when he threw the divorce agreement? Also, this shredder is so funny. The dog man is so afraid that the female supporting role will regret it the next second.”
“The female supporting role, keep it up. Don’t stop. Increase the intensity. The male second is a sickly succubus, without morals, and you’re a wicked woman. You two are a match made in heaven. Win him over, and why worry about not being able to defeat the female lead, Su Ting?”
2
I spent the whole afternoon sorting things out.
Finally, I realized that the world I lived in was a sweet – spoiling novel.
Su Ting was the female lead, and I was the vicious female supporting role who did all kinds of bad things and was imprisoned to death by the male second.
No wonder whoever got close to Su Ting would be attracted to her, as if the whole world revolved around her.
I had received so much information today.
After taking a bath in the evening, I turned on my phone to relax my mind and saw overwhelming negative comments.
Almost all my social media accounts were flooded. Netizens were all standing up for the female lead, Su Ting.
My childhood sweetheart, Shen Fei, sent a WeChat message:
“Chen Lili, don’t think I don’t know. You just want to use this despicable method to force me to leave Ah Ting and be with you.”
“Oh, you went to so much trouble just to see me. Fine, you’ve succeeded. Friday afternoon, the old place!”
I didn’t reply. After blocking him, I turned off the phone screen.
The barrage scrolled:
“I’m not trying to whitewash, but actually, the female supporting role’s viciousness isn’t without reason. A proud and noble young lady from a wealthy family, overnight, her parents, lover, and friends all ignored her like they were possessed and cared about another girl. I would go crazy too.”
“The female supporting role is beautiful and rich. Why should she always lose to the female lead, this silly – sweet girl who can’t even tell Word from WPS? This damn novel has no logic…”
“If I were the author, I’d slap the crazy female lead, slap the male lead twice, and lock the vicious female supporting role and the sickly male second together to create hatred. They’re not allowed to leave the basement until they have eight treasures. What do you think?”
“……”
Not good.
After calming down, I was about to go to bed. Just as I took off my underwear.
The bedroom door was suddenly opened.
Song Huainan’s eyes fell from top to bottom on a certain place.
I quickly grabbed my bathrobe and put it on.
“Sorry, you didn’t lock the door.”
Song Huainan looked at me with burning eyes, his Adam’s apple sliding up and down, and the black scales on his body faintly visible.
When a succubus is aroused, their true form will involuntarily show…
The word “get out” reached the tip of my tongue.
I saw the barrage:
“I can guess that the female supporting role must have a look of superiority and disgust on her face, saying “get out”. She was originally a good person, but why did she do such stupid things? The male second’s love is being worn away little by little like this.”
“Chen Lili, be gentle with your husband. If you slap your husband now, your mouth will suffer a lot in the basement in the future. The corner of your mouth splitting open is very painful.”
Reminded by the barrage, I quickly changed my tone and gave Song Huainan a shallow smile:
“It’s okay, old – “
Song Huainan, who was about to leave the room, stopped in his tracks, his eyes extremely dark, waiting for what I was going to say next.
Sigh, it’s all because the barrage kept shouting “husband” just now.
It influenced me too…
“Hurry up, you damned mouth, say it. Just one “husband”, and he’ll give you his life. The female lead is nothing.”
“Don’t make the male second seem so worthless. Three years of cold violence, the male second must hate the female supporting role more than he loves her. Besides, have you forgotten that the male second imprisoned the female supporting role to death to protect the female lead?”
The barrage split into two groups and started arguing.
I raised my eyebrows, also wanting to verify the authenticity of this information. Continuing from the previous situation, I coaxed:
“Song Huainan, is my figure good?”
“Average.” The man faintly lowered his eyes, making it hard to see his expression.
“The stubborn man, being so stubborn won’t get you a wife. No wonder the female supporting role has liked the male lead for so many years since she married you. You deserve it.”
“Am I seeing things? Why does the female supporting role not seem to dislike the male second today? Have the CP fans of our evil couple suddenly become active?”
I was not convinced and took a step forward, teasing: “You haven’t even looked, how do you know it’s average?”
“No need to look.” Song Huainan replied coldly, but his fingertips involuntarily curled up, the joints showing a faint pink color, and he almost tore the seam of his pants.
I never noticed before that this man looks quite cute when he’s shy.
I noticed that Song Huainan’s collar was messy and reached out to help him straighten it.
“Don’t touch.” A cold reprimand sounded above my head.
It was very fierce.
I was directly stunned and remembered the barrage that had been arguing just now.
That’s right. I hadn’t given Song Huainan a good look in these three years. Instead, Su Ting was like a little sun, always warmly encouraging him to get out of the shadows.
It was normal for Song Huainan to hate me.
I smiled self – deprecatingly, retracted my arm in mid – air: “Remember to close the door when you go out. I’m going to sleep.”
The man closed the door but didn’t leave. Instead, he walked towards me step by step.
His hot breathing became more and more obvious, and his eyes were red with forbearance, terrifyingly so.
I finally realized something was wrong: “Song Huainan, what’s wrong with you? Do you have a fever?”
Barrage:
“To be precise, it’s being horny… Not the male second, you’re too infatuated. The female supporting role was just having some fun teasing you a little, and you’re so excited that you’ve brought forward your rutting period.”
“Rutting period?” I murmured to myself.
After being married for three years, how did I never know that Song Huainan had a rutting period?
Barrage: “The female supporting role is also stupid. She always thought the male second was pure – hearted and ascetic. Come on, he’s a succubus. Besides, with your good figure and the highest – rated looks in the book, he just couldn’t bear to force you.”
“During previous rutting periods, Song Huainan would secretly take one of your underwear and hide away in advance so that you wouldn’t see.”
“The person upstairs reminded me. Those clothes are so pitiful. They’re almost worn out by the gifted male second…”
I stared blankly at the scrolling barrage, as if looking at a screen full of mosaics.
Was it because of the rutting period that he didn’t let me touch him just now?
Song Huainan buried himself in my neck, rubbing back and forth restlessly.
His cold – white skin flushed with a lustful color, reducing the sense of alienation that usually kept people at a distance.
Before, I was focused on dealing with Su Ting, trying to win back my childhood sweetheart, Shen Fei, and never looked at Song Huainan properly.
I never knew that this man was actually this good – looking.
His features were more delicate than those of the stars on TV.

“There are medicines and syringes in the drawer of the study… Go get them…” Song Huainan’s voice was intermittent, and he was at a loss, trying to cover up the patterns and scales that were gradually appearing on his body.
I looked at the man who was enduring to the extreme, his bitten – bleeding lips, and the sweat – soaked clothes sticking to his body, outlining the abs lines that made people’s blood boil…
I suddenly changed my mind.
Although I’ve been alone in the empty room for three years, and my desire isn’t as strong as that of a succubus.
But I’m still a normal person after all.
Although the first article of the marriage contract was written by myself:
No emotions, only talk about money, and taking advantage of others in a difficult situation is strictly prohibited.
But I’m a morally corrupt and vicious female supporting role. Why should I talk about credit…
After thinking it through, I gently patted the man’s face and whispered: “Song Huainan, remember to be gentle.”
“Don’t touch me, dirty…” Song Huainan trembled all over because of my touch, but still held on to the last bit of his bottom line.
“But I want to…”
I took off my bathrobe, wiped the blood from my lips with my fingertips, and stood on tiptoe to kiss him.
Barrage:
“What’s going on? The female supporting role actually took the initiative.”
“This pat on the face, ahhhh, so charming. I’m gone! Sister, do you still need a dog?”
“Love mixed with hate, rubbish. Love born out of hate, a masterpiece!”
“Excited heart, trembling hands. Are our evil couple finally going to have sex?”
The moment our lips and teeth touched, Song Huainan immediately took the lead, his broad and warm palm holding my back of the head firmly.
The air in my lungs was forcefully taken away, and my legs couldn’t help but go weak.
A thick black “rope” somehow wrapped around my waist.
It was wrapped too tightly, and I felt a little pain, so I couldn’t help but groan and tried to push it aside.
“Sorry, don’t… don’t look…” Song Huainan woke up like from a dream, his pupils suddenly contracting, and he desperately tried to hide the tail that had appeared due to his arousal.
Before I could react, the man had rushed out of the door in a panic.
Soon, the sound of rummaging through the drawers came from the study next door, and an indescribable smell of medicine spread in the air.
I leaned against the wardrobe, trying to breathe in fresh air while looking at the scrolling barrage:
“Song Huainan, you coward, come back here! I’ve already taken off my pants, where are you running?”
“Enough. Am I the only one who feels sorry for the male second? Because of his succubus identity, he has been bullied and humiliated since he was a child. He happily married his white moonlight home, but the white moonlight also thought he was disgusting. How could he not be inferior?”
“Female supporting role, my little ancestor, do you really have to dislike the male second’s true form at this time? He’s really about to break down.”
No, I’m wronged.
I really just wanted him not to wrap so tightly…
4
The next day, when I woke up, Song Huainan was gone.
I was eating a sandwich for breakfast. After taking three deep breaths, I turned on my phone.
I was surprised to find that all the negative comments seemed to have evaporated overnight.
The few media that had scolded me the most, even their official accounts were blocked.
A media friend who still had contact with me sent a photo of my parents going to their company, with the caption: “It’s all taken care of.”
I smiled.
I knew my parents wouldn’t really ignore me.
After all, they had always come forward to settle those big and small troubles before.
“I’m convinced. Every time the male second secretly helps the female lead, he always gives the credit to that cheap couple…”
“Song Huainan, the first person in the president circle to wash his underwear with a cold face. When his wife is in a good mood, he happily serves his wife. When his wife is in a bad mood, he coldly serves his wife.”
“It’s a pity that the female supporting role doesn’t understand anything. She showed such obvious disgust last night. Although she avoided the divorce, she will probably still end up being forced in the end.”
I was shocked and shifted my gaze from the barrage to the phone screen.
I stared at the photo of my parents carefully for ten minutes and really found traces of PS…
I opened WeChat and dug out Song Huainan from the bottom:
“Are you free today? I have something to tell you.”
The other side replied instantly: “You sent the wrong person.”
“……”
“No, I didn’t, hubby～”
This time, the other side replied very slowly:
“I’m sorry about what happened last night. I made you see those disgusting scenes. I’m very busy today. If you want to divorce, contact the lawyer first.”
“No, no,” I quickly refuted: “It’s not about divorce.”
Song Huainan: “Okay, see you in the afternoon.”
Barrage:
“I’m dying of laughter. Divorce, no time. Not divorce, see you in the afternoon.”
“That was close. The female supporting role narrowly escaped the black – room play again. Why do I feel like she seems to have realized something and is trying to save herself?”
“I always feel that something bad is going to happen at this plot point, but I can’t quite remember what it is.”

In the afternoon, I dressed up specially and arrived at the coffee shop near Song Huainan’s company half an hour early. I ordered a dessert and started eating it slowly with my head down.
A sound of someone taking a seat came from across. I beamed with joy and said, “Honey, you have a taste…” But when I looked up, I found that it wasn’t Song Huainan sitting across.
Shen Fei stared at my sexy strapless red dress and delicate makeup, and chuckled, “Chen Lili, you like me this much? You can even call me hubby.”
I didn’t bother to waste words and got up to leave. But Shen Fei grabbed my wrist.
“Let go. My husband is nearby.”
“Stop pretending. If it wasn’t to make me jealous, a proud person like you wouldn’t marry that monster Song Huainan. Don’t think I don’t know that you haven’t let him touch you in these three years.” Shen Fei’s eyes landed on my bright red lips, his eyes turning obscure, and his tone was frivolous. “One kiss. Is that enough for you to leave Ah Ting alone for now?”
I looked at the man in front of me, only feeling strange. The once – arrogant and somewhat rebellious neighbor brother, when did he become like this… It seemed that everyone who got in touch with Su Ting would eventually turn into someone I didn’t know.
Shen Fei pinched my chin and slowly leaned down, “Lili, did you dress up so beautifully on purpose to see your brother, huh?”
While I was struggling, through the glass window, I saw Song Huainan standing outside.
Barrage:
“Don’t have any illusions, female supporting role. Song Huainan has been standing there since you called Shen Fei hubby. A succubus has sharp senses, and he heard everything you said.”
“Oh my, a love triangle showdown. This is exciting! I love it.”
“Damn, every time I think Chen Lili can finally survive, she always finds a 361st way to die.”
I used all my strength to push Shen Fei away forcefully and rushed out of the coffee shop. Just before Song Huainan left, I grabbed the cuff of his sleeve.
The man’s pupils were as black as ink, bottomless. “Is this what you wanted to tell me?”
“No, I don’t know why Shen Fei appeared here…” Half – way through, I remembered the message Shen Fei sent before I blocked him. Today was exactly Friday, but I hadn’t agreed to meet him at all.
I had tried so hard to avoid the male and female leads to save myself. Was the power of the plot really this strong?
6
“Just now, Shen Fei tried to force – kiss me, but I didn’t agree. I pushed him away right away.”
Song Huainan’s features were mostly angular. When he didn’t smile, he looked as sharp as a sword. Coupled with his nearly 1.9 – meter height, he was so fierce that it made people’s scalp tingle.
My usually clear words became a bit stuttering: “I asked you out this afternoon to tell you that last night, I was willing. It was my first kiss, and I didn’t know how to breathe. I pushed you because you were wrapping around me too tightly, and I couldn’t breathe, not because I was disgusted.”
After saying this in one breath, I summoned up my courage to look up and meet Song Huainan’s eyes. His almost completely black eyes gradually returned to their normal color.
Barrage:
“Great, it’s a straightforward confession. We’re saved.”
“Is what the female supporting role said true, or is she just trying to make the male lead jealous?”
“The person upstairs is here to amuse us, right? Does the male lead deserve it? The author thought she created a charming playboy, but in fact, he’s just an oily and sleazy man. He’s a perfect match for the annoying female lead. As long as the female supporting role isn’t blind, she will definitely choose the male second (although she was really blind in the past three years).”
“Chen Lili.” Shen Fei also walked out of the coffee shop and looked at me and Song Huainan standing side by side. “You’re already in your twenties. Why are you still using such childish tricks? Do you think I’ll be jealous?”
I inserted my fingers into Song Huainan’s fingers along his sleeve, interlocking our fingers. “Shen Fei, I don’t like you anymore. I’m married and have a husband. Please don’t harass me anymore in the future.”
“What if I say I broke up with Su Ting and I’m single now?” Shen Fei looked at me casually, with a look of confidence.
I wanted to take a step forward but felt a resistance. I found that Song Huainan was standing still, tightly holding my hand, and his fingertips were slightly trembling. He was uneasy.
“What does your break – up have to do with me?” I said impatiently. “Not to mention being single, even if you like men, it has nothing to do with me. Get out of the way.”
When I was young and in love, I did have a crush on my childhood sweetheart, Shen Fei. But later, he stood by Su Ting’s side time and time again, kicked me when I was down, and watched coldly. That little bit of love, which wasn’t much in the first place, had long since disappeared, leaving only annoyance.
Shen Fei’s smile froze on his face little by little. I looked at my phone and saw dozens of missed calls. The candlelit dinner I had booked was already half an hour late. It was probably ruined.
“Song Huainan, let’s go home.”
“Okay.”
Song Huainan’s limited – edition Rolls – Royce was parked across the road. Until I got into the passenger seat, I didn’t look back at Shen Fei.
Barrage:
“The female supporting role is so beautiful. I really believe that Chen Lili doesn’t like the male lead anymore.”
“The male lead’s setting is really disgusting. He keeps having an on – again – off – again relationship with the female lead while also being greedy for the female supporting role’s peerless beauty and getting handsy. Our Lili’s princess temper won’t tolerate him.”
7
After getting home, I sincerely apologized to the restaurant owner and compensated double the deposit.
Song Huainan looked around and asked, “Where’s the aunt?”
I said a little awkwardly, “I originally booked a restaurant for tonight, so I asked the aunt to go back early. But I didn’t expect the restaurant to be late…”
“It’s okay,” I said with a smile, clicking on the app. “Let’s order takeout. What do you want to eat?”
Song Huainan said, “Takeout isn’t healthy. What do you want to eat? I can cook.”
“Alright, then sweet – and – sour fish.”
Song Huainan paused for a moment. Then I thought I had ordered a difficult dish, and I was about to change it to a simple scrambled eggs with tomatoes. But then the man nodded slowly, “Okay, there’s fish in the fridge. You watch TV for a while. I’ll be done soon.”
“Okay.”
Song Huainan helped me turn on my favorite variety show channel and then turned and walked into the kitchen. During the commercial break, since I had nothing to do, I wandered to the kitchen door. Through the crack of the door, I saw Song Huainan bring his right hand, which I had held, to his lips and kiss it devoutly. Then he started washing his hands and preparing the ingredients.
Barrage:
“I’m not afraid of a sickly and perverted person, but I’m afraid of a sickly person with pure love. Don’t our male second and female supporting role, these two poor souls, deserve a good ending? Author, I’m going to send you a razor blade.”
“Suddenly, I don’t want to see the evil couple being forced to have sex. I think if they can live a good life like this and have more love, it would be nice.”
“There’s no way. The female lead’s halo is there. The male second is bound to turn to Su Ting. The plot is just like this and can’t be resisted.”
Similar remarks had appeared more than once. My heart skipped a beat, and I couldn’t watch the show anymore. Fortunately, Song Huainan’s sweet – and – sour fish was ready at this time. I excitedly took a few big bites, then looked at the man sitting upright beside me.
“Last time, when Su Ting and I fell into the sea together, and I had a fever of 40 degrees. The plate of sweet – and – sour fish that the aunt brought was actually made by you, right?”
“No,” Song Huainan reminded. “Don’t talk while eating.”
But I’m a person who doesn’t know the word “obey” in my dictionary. I continued to ask, “Did you also have someone delete the negative comments? Some people said I’m your white moonlight. When did you start liking me? Did we know each other before?”
“Lili…” This was the first time Song Huainan called my name.
I pursed my lips. “Okay, if you say no, then no. I’m full. I’m going to call Shen Fei to ask if he’s home.”
I left the dining table and pretended to pick up my phone to make a call. Suddenly, the sound of a blade falling on the floor came. I turned around. Song Huainan was pinching his finger with blood beads oozing out, his eyes looking elsewhere, and his thick eyelashes trembling slightly. “It’s okay. Don’t worry about me.”
I put down my phone, took out a Band – Aid and gauze from the first – aid kit, sat back in front of Song Huainan, and said, “How can it be okay when it’s bleeding? Does it hurt? Give me your hand.”
Barrage:
“Okay, okay. Now I understand why some men can’t tell a scheming woman. That little look is enough for me to study for a lifetime.”
“Female supporting role, don’t always tease the male second with such things. He’s not normal and can’t stand being teased. Be careful, or you’ll end up in the black room.”
“Song Huainan, brother, open a class. I’ll learn on my knees.”
“All done.” I tied a cute bow on the gauze.
“Thank you.” came his hoarse reply, and his breath gradually became hotter and heavier. But this time, Song Huainan apparently had experience. “I’m going to the study.”
“Wait,” I pressed him back onto the stool. “I saw on the Internet that taking too much of that medicine is bad for your health and can make you… you know. “
Song Huainan explained very quickly for the first time, “There are some side – effects, but it’s not what they said.”
As our skin touched, the patterns on the man’s body appeared again. He grabbed his coat to put it on, but I stopped him. I straddled the man’s lap, stroking the faintly visible succubus mark on his collarbone.
“It’s quite nice.” I sincerely praised.
“Lili, do you know what you’re doing? Get down.” Song Huainan almost gritted his teeth as he said each word.
“No,” I moved my waist back and forth, putting on a seductive expression and coquettishly said, “Honey, we’re a legal couple. You can do anything you want to me.”
Song Huainan’s tail wrapped around my body, and his hot breath sprayed on my ear. “Chen Lili, don’t do this. You’ll regret it.”
“I won’t. I said I’m willing.”
Barrage: “Song Huainan, you say ‘don’t do this’ with your mouth, but your tail is very honest. You didn’t even give the female supporting role a chance to escape, bro.”
“Female supporting role, you’re my goddess! Stubborn lovers need a love that’s like a home invasion. As long as you can do it, do it to the extreme. Do it big time.”
My lips were heavily blocked. Song Huainan picked me up by the waist and placed me on the bedroom bed. He grabbed my two restless hands and held them above my head. The scene in front of me gradually became blurred. The man gently kissed away the tears from the corners of my eyes and whispered guiltily, “Sorry, I still dirtied you…”
I feebly pushed the man’s chest in front of me, passively enduring again and again. “Song Huainan, stop. It’s so hot… There, there, you can’t…”
“Lili, be good. Call me a few more times. It’ll be over soon.”
I obediently and softly said, “Song Huainan, hubby, Brother Huainan…”
“Such a good girl…”
Liar, big liar. How could “soon” be after three hours!

Barrage:
“I’ve even bought a membership for this broken novel. What can’t I, a noble member, see?”
“Damn, the male and female leads next door are torturing each other to death, and I don’t feel anything. I’m even a little amused. But when the evil couple kisses, it makes me cry from sweetness.”
“Who understands? It’s so exciting. Song Huainan’s inferiority complex makes him feel that doing this defiles his white moonlight. The sense of guilt is overwhelming, but the physical desire makes him unable to stop himself. He can only sink while being awake.”
“Oh no, after having sex, the male second can’t leave the female supporting role even more. Scorpio + succubus + sickly. With all the buffs stacked, I can’t imagine how intense Song Huainan’s possessiveness towards Chen Lili will be.”
Song Huainan’s rutting period lasted for a whole week. In the last few days, I really couldn’t take it anymore. “How about you still use some medicine?”
Song Huainan’s sticky gaze seemed to want to bore a hole through me. His cold voice carried an inexplicable sense of grievance. “Lili, actually, you still can’t accept it, right?”
“Of course not,” I rubbed my waist, looking at Song Huainan’s incredibly handsome face. Thinking of my previous harsh words, I immediately lost my temper.
People always have to pay for the mistakes they made when they were young. I resigned myself to picking up my bathrobe. “I’ll go take a bath first.”
Song Huainan stuck to me. “Okay, let’s go together.”
Me: “…”
This kind of life, which was not exactly imprisonment but was similar, finally ushered in a turning point on the day of the first snow. Song Huainan was going to attend a business dinner in City H. As his wife, I also received an invitation.
I had always looked down on such occasions where people just drank, sang praises, and were hypocritical. But seeing that those people in the business circle privately disliked me for being vicious and hoped I wouldn’t show up, I instead wanted to go. Since they were unhappy seeing me, I would make them watch me have a good time.
After I changed into a dress, the long – lost barrage popped up again:
“Be careful, female supporting role. The female lead is also at this banquet. According to the plot, this is the period when the relationship between the female lead and the male second heats up.”
“I really don’t understand why Chen Lili’s fans are getting more and more. There are even so many people who want to save her. The bad things she did are real.”
“Bah, because we’re all working people. We can’t empathize with this kind of Mary – Sue plot where the whole world loves the useless female lead and ignores the supporting characters’ lives. Besides, the female lead is also not a good person.”
“If you regret it, I’ll stay at home with you.” Song Huainan hugged me from behind. In the mirror, the man was handsome and the woman was beautiful. We were a perfect match.
Me: “It’s okay. I have a thick skin. Let’s go.”

I had mentally prepared myself to meet acquaintances at the dinner. But I didn’t expect that the first people I saw were my parents.
Su Ting, who always had a plain face, this time changed into a dress and high – heels. But she looked timid and a bit out of place with the surroundings. My mother was affectionately arranging her bangs.
When she saw me, Su Ting directly hugged my mother’s arm. “Mom, look, Lili sister is here too.”
I suspected I had misheard. “What did you call my mom?”
“Yes, Lili. You don’t know yet. I’ve recognized Auntie as my godmother. There were some misunderstandings and unpleasantness between us before, but it doesn’t matter. We’re a family now.”
My father looked very gratified. “It’s still Su Ting who is magnanimous and knows how to value family. Unlike Lili, who grew up with her grandparents, has a rebellious personality, and has never been close to us.”
“Lili sister, this is the engagement invitation from me and Xiaofei. After thinking about it, I think it’s better to give it to you in person.”
“Who’s your sister?” I took the invitation and casually threw it into the trash can.
“Chen Lili, that’s too much,” my father said, frowning at me. “Apologize to Tingting.”
“Is this even much?” I sneered. “I remember when Su Ting was with Shen Fei, my engagement with Shen Fei hadn’t been terminated yet. When you recognized her as your god – daughter, you didn’t even ask for the opinion of your biological daughter. At least it should be to that extent to be considered too much, right?”
Su Ting’s eyes filled with tears. “Lili, what’s wrong with me and Xiaofei loving each other? You didn’t go home for so long, and Uncle and Auntie had no one to accompany them. I was just helping you fulfill your filial piety. Why do you have to target me like this?”
I was very annoyed by Su Ting’s constant crying. It made my head ache. “Loving each other doesn’t change the fact that you intervened in someone else’s relationship. Also, it’s not that I didn’t go home. It was the two of them who forced me out, saying they didn’t have a daughter like me. Since you’re so saint – like and magnanimous, why didn’t you stand up and say you forgave me at that time?”
After saying that, I picked up my wine glass and was about to leave. Su Ting seemed to want to follow me, but she stepped on my dress hem and fell flat on the ground. Fortunately, I had years of experience wearing high – heels and managed to keep my balance. I didn’t fall, but the wine in the glass splashed out, mostly onto Su Ting.
The commotion of this fall was neither too big nor too small, just enough to attract the attention of the people in the immediate vicinity. Shen Fei and Song Huainan finished their respective conversations and walked over.
Whispers could be heard all around:
“It’s Chen Lili again. How many times has she caused trouble for Su Ting?”
“This woman is terrifying. She dared to push someone to the ground and pour wine on them right in front of everyone. Isn’t this bullying?”
“With such a bad heart, no wonder Shen Fei would rather marry the penniless and plain – looking Su Ting than her.”
…
“What happened?”
“Are you okay?”
Shen Fei and Song Huainan almost spoke at the same time. However, Shen Fei was helping Su Ting up, while Song Huainan was concerned about me.
“Honey, the dress is dirty. This is a global limited – edition, and it’ll be very hard to buy another one.” I complained to Song Huainan, looking at the red – wine stain on the hem of the dress.
“As long as you’re okay. This brand is about to release a new style of dress. We can buy it then.”
Barrage:
“It’s getting cold. Can I put my hands in President Song’s wallet to warm them?”
“In contrast, our evil couple is much more normal than the male and female leads over there. The female lead just knows how to cry in a baby voice, and the male lead looks like an over – masculine man. Sigh.”
“Brother Song, you… you’re Chen Lili’s husband?” Su Ting staggered to her feet, looking at me and then at Song Huainan, her face full of disbelief.

“Here it comes, here it comes. The moment of revealing the identity is coming. Before, Su Ting never knew Song Huainan’s true identity. She was like a little sun, giving the male second a lot of warmth. She might not be less important than the female supporting role in the male second’s heart.”
“Upstairs, the so – called warmth you mentioned couldn’t be the incident where Su Ting mistook Song Huainan for a poor person and spilled a cup of hot milk all over the male second, right? Well, it was indeed warm, in a physical sense.”
“Sometimes I really feel the female lead is a bit scheming. With the male second’s whole body of luxury goods, how could he look like someone who can’t afford a meal? Yet all the men in this book fall for her tricks. Sigh.”
Shen Fei looked puzzled. “Ah Ting, you know Song Huainan?”
Su Ting nodded, her expression becoming even more pitiful. “I never thought such a good person as Brother Song would be with…”
“Be with a girl like me, right?” I coldly finished the second half of what Su Ting wanted to say.
Su Ting was still in shock, her expression a bit dazed. “Brother Song, so you’ve always known that the person who bullied me, the one I confided in you about, was Chen Lili.”
Song Huainan: “I knew.”
Su Ting was even more confused. “Then do you think what she did was right?”
“It’s not right.”
Su Ting’s lips curled up slightly, so slightly that it was barely noticeable, and a flash of pride briefly appeared in her eyes. But I caught it.
Shen Fei, who had been humiliated by me before, also seemed to want to take this opportunity to retaliate. “Lili, what do you have to say? Since everyone is here today, it’s not too late to apologize now.”
I firmly said each word one by one. “I’m a straightforward person. I’ll admit it if I did something bad. Su Ting, you can hate me, plot against me, and take revenge on me. But I will never apologize.”
Barrage:
“Is the female lead’s halo really that powerful? Parents, childhood sweetheart, friends… Is the male second also going to turn against her now? Is our Lili really going to be left all alone?”
“The evil couple has tried so hard, but are they still doomed to a tragic end? No way. I admit that I was pretending before when I said I liked the imprisonment play. As a CP fan, I still hope they can have a good ending. Especially the female supporting role. I’m really a fan of her.”
I thought that after going through so much, I had become strong and calm enough. But my heart still couldn’t stop pounding like thunder.
Song Huainan gently put his arm around my waist and patted me tenderly. “Lili has indeed done some things that aren’t right. She’s not a morally perfect person. She has a bit of a princess temper, is proud, and acts willfully.”
“But so what? I love her.”
“And what I just said are the impressions of Chen Lili in your eyes. In my eyes, she’s the best person in the world. I’m the one who’s not good enough for her.”
This was the first time I heard the three words “I love you” from Song Huainan.
After he said these words, there was an uproar at the scene.
Su Ting’s face was very ugly. “Brother Song, you… you can’t be so unable to distinguish right from wrong…”
“Since you want to distinguish things so clearly. Why don’t you answer a few questions Lili asked you before first. Why did you intervene when Shen Fei was still engaged? Why did you try every means to destroy the relationship between Lili and her parents and friends and take their place?
“Don’t you know these things are wrong? But you still did them. If Lili was really vicious, she should have spread all these things instead of just having small squabbles with you over trivial matters.
“Su Ting, before judging others, you might as well first see if you’re really a pure and flawless white paper. Before asking others to apologize, see if you have a clear conscience.”
Su Ting was left speechless. It took her a long time to reply with a guilty voice. “The one who isn’t loved is the third – party. Chen Lili just lost her engagement and the right to inherit the Chen family’s property, but I almost lost my love.”
The barrage and the on – lookers couldn’t hold back their laughter.

Even Shen Fei, my parents, couldn’t agree with Su Ting’s unreasonable argument. They wanted to defend her but couldn’t find the words.
“By the way, Lili said you can take revenge on her just now. But I suggest you’d better not. Of course, if you’re not afraid of death, you can give it a try. I wish everyone a pleasant evening at this dinner. Excuse me, Lili’s dress is dirty, so we’ll take our leave first.”
Song Huainan slightly raised his wine glass to signal, his actions polite and gentlemanly, but his eyes were as cold as frost.
A circle of muscular men standing upright outside the banquet hall nodded simultaneously. The sense of oppression was overwhelming.
This was the first time I truly felt Song Huainan’s reputation as a living Yam who had influence in both the legal and illegal worlds. Before, I had just regarded it as a joke.
If I had discovered this side of him three years ago when we got married, I might have backed down on the spot. After all, there was no need to risk my life just to make that scumbag Shen Fei jealous.
“Are those people bodyguards?” I whispered.
“Yeah.” Song Huainan led me towards the outside of the venue.
“Why haven’t I seen them before?”
“I don’t usually bring them.”
Me: “Then why did you bring them this time?”
Song Huainan replied calmly. “To support you.”
“What if, I’m just saying what if, Su Ting or Shen Fei, or whoever else, attacks me, will they take action?”
“They will.”
“But if they just give me a slap, and your bodyguards might break that person’s half – life with one punch. A slap and half – life, isn’t that a bit unfair?”
Song Huainan rubbed my head. “It’s not the same. You can’t compare it like that. A slap on your face is more precious than their ten lives.”
Barrage:
“Evil couple, you really live up to the name ‘evil’…”
“My male second, you’ve been so gentle in front of the female supporting role recently that I almost forgot you’re a creepy and perverted person who crawls in the shadows.”
“This slapping of the male and female leads is so satisfying! It makes my scalp tingle. I can’t wait to gobble up five spicy rabbit heads right away.”
“Guess what I just found out. In the latest updated version of this book, the evil couple has become the male and female leads. It turns out the author also noticed that this couple’s popularity is far ahead.”
“Although we didn’t see the imprisonment play, it seems you two have played with chains and small toys quite a bit. Chen Lili, Song Huainan, you two poor souls, be happy.”
This was the last barrage I saw. Although I knew they couldn’t see it, I still silently replied, “Thank you. We will be happy.”

“Song Huainan, shall we play the quick – question – and – answer game?”
The winter night wind was cold. While soaking in the villa’s hot spring with Song Huainan, I couldn’t help but want to find some fun.
“Sure, go ahead and ask.”
Song Huainan was helping me rub my ankles, which were tired from wearing high – heels all day. A faint smile played on his lips.
“Am I your white moonlight?”
“Yeah.”
“When did you fall in love with me?”
“When I was thirteen, maybe even earlier. At that time, I revealed my succubus form, the same as my mother’s, and was discovered by the family. They forced me to take medicine, electrocuted me, and made me wear all kinds of strange clothes to cover it up. At school, only you were willing to talk to me…”
I was a bit surprised. “I remember. You were that little boy in Class Ten next door! You never talked. I thought you were a mute who loved cosplay. As a discipline committee member, of course I had to take more care of you. But since you liked me, why didn’t you pursue me?”
“There were so many outstanding people around you. I didn’t want to hold you back…”
Me: “Next question. When was the last time you lied?”
“Just now.”
Song Huainan, following the line of my ankle, slowly and obsessively caressed my skin from bottom to top, not missing any part. “The real answer to that question is that I want you to only belong to me, to have only me in your eyes, and for all your emotions, whether it’s joy, anger, love, or hatred, to be mine…”
“Oh?” I casually placed my leg on the man’s shoulder. “Then why didn’t you do it?”
“I couldn’t bear to.”
“What was the reason for the last time you wanted to do it?”
“When you proposed divorce.”
“Choose between me leaving you and death.”
Song Huainan didn’t hesitate. “Death.”
The man’s voice became slightly hoarse, and his tail gently slapped the water surface.
“Wait, one last question. Do you think I like you?”
I smiled brightly at Song Huainan through the faint mist.
“Lili, it’s already very good that you can be by my side…”
I raised my eyebrows and interrupted the man’s words. “Song Huainan, you fool, I love you. Although I can’t tell the exact time and reason why this feeling started like you can, I’m sure that I love you… Mmm.”
The following words were lost in my throat.
Waves rippled on the water surface.
I seemed to hear Song Huainan crying.
He didn’t know that actually, I also told a little lie.
I was abandoned by my parents when I was a child and left at my elderly grandparents’ home.
I didn’t even have a peer to talk to around me.
The great material satisfaction corresponded to the absolute spiritual poverty.
I was extremely starved of love during the age when I needed it the most.
So I longed for someone who, after seeing all my flaws, would still love me passionately until death, go against their genetic instincts, and place me in a position more important than their own life.
Never betray, always be passionate.
Song Huainan was the only one who could do it.
So, I was destined to fall in love with him.
Let’s sink together for the rest of our lives.
(The End)
