COO 58 Rate 3/5

Summary: For eighteen years, He Yeqing just realized that she was living in a period novel. However, she was neither the female lead nor a supporting character; she was merely a cannon fodder character who died early.

The only tenuous connection she had with the original book was that she and the villainous big shot in the book came from the same village…

However, He Yeqing had no time to consider these matters because she, who failed the college entrance examination, was facing the prospect of a forced marriage. Being coerced into marriage meant an early death!

He Yeqing expressed her refusal: “To hell with forced marriages, I’m going to college!”

So, He Yeqing decided to take matters into her own hands. However, things like household registration were still in her parents’ hands. If she wanted to take the college entrance examination, marriage was inevitable. But she could choose her marriage partner, for example—

The villainous big shot from the village who, despite reaching the age of forced marriage, had no one interested in him due to his notorious reputation! Anyway, the big shot in the book was cold-hearted and had no real love for a partner.

Both parties got what they wanted, and after a year, they would go their separate ways. She would become a university student, and he would expand his business empire.

Neither would hinder the other, it was simply perfect!

However, a few years later, watching the big shot tenderly taking care of their child with a soft expression on his face…

He Yeqing: “I miscalculated!”

***

No one knew that Shen Li, the fierce and ruthless guy from the village, secretly harbored a crush on He Yeqing. Until one day, his crush cornered him and said, “Marry me!”

Shen Li: “???”

Could such a good thing happen?
