{Second arc: The male lead became yandere after turning good. }

Detaching from memories.

Detaching…

[The next world is about to begin.]

[Countdown: Three, two, one…]

When Su Wan opened her eyes again, she had arrived in a new world.

She let out a breath.

What situation was this now?

Su Wan found herself sitting by the balcony on the second floor, her hand resting on a white Roman column. The hot sunlight was directly shining down on the ground, but luckily, there was a small floral parasol above her head providing some shade, bringing a cool relief in the early summer.

On the small table was a box of Häagen-Dazs chocolate ice cream, placed right next to the railing, gradually melting under the direct sun.

Su Wan stared at the melting ice cream, lost in thought.

This time, she had entered a world from a big male-lead urban revenge novel.

In the original story, the male protagonist, Shen Tingyan, had a tragic childhood—both his parents died, his inheritance was seized, and he was left homeless, living under the mercy of others. He also endured humiliation from the Su family.

Especially from Su Wan, the malicious daughter of the Su family, who insulted and bullied him at school, joining other students to isolate him and participate in campus violence.

Her cruel and vicious methods were far beyond what one would expect from a young girl, pushing the usually reserved male lead to live under years of torment.

Afterward, the originally cold-hearted male lead’s personality drastically changed. He no longer showed emotion, harbored a deep sense of revenge, and the first thing he did after becoming successful was to find the person who had once bullied him—Su Wan.

In the end, the original protagonist died a tragic death at his hands.

This tragic past served to lay the foundation for the male protagonist’s ruthless personality.

As a male-lead business-focused revenge story, his entire life was dedicated to building his own commercial empire.

Su Wan was just a small cannon fodder in the story who didn’t last long before her destruction, yet she was the one who had the most significant impact on the male lead’s life.

By the time Su Wan entered the story, Shen Tingyan had already been living with the Su family for some time, no doubt enduring a great deal of torment.

The sun was so hot that the tiles on the balcony burned.

Su Wan’s face flushed slightly from the heat, and she stood up, intending to go back inside and lie down.

Ignoring the original protagonist’s tragic end, and just focusing on the world of wealth and houses she has, Su Wan was quite satisfied.

If the evil female side characters all came with the typical “rich and beautiful” setup, she would be happy to play the supporting role her whole life, surrounded by wealth and happiness. What was wrong with that?

Her movement caused the small table to wobble. The melting ice cream, now a puddle, tipped over the edge and fell through the gaps of the Roman railing.

A woman’s scream echoed from below.

Su Wan froze for a moment, then slowly leaned over the railing to look down.

A group of students in white school uniforms were standing below—both male and female—but one tall, slender figure stood out, immediately capturing everyone’s attention.

Shen Tingyan was holding a black shoulder bag, and his eyes met Su Wan’s.

He wore a thin white shirt that fluttered in the breeze. His frame was delicate and tall, an enviable beauty. His skin was very pale, as though he had never seen the sun, and his narrow, single-lidded eyes were slightly raised. His pupils were dark and beautiful but cold, devoid of any emotion.

What caught everyone’s attention, however, was the large brown cream stain slowly sliding down the front of his otherwise pristine white shirt, making him look rather comical. The ice cream’s paper box was overturned on the ground, and it had also dirtied his white shoes.

The two girls downstairs suddenly burst out laughing, clapping excitedly.

“Prank successful! Perfect landing, yay!”

Su Wan: “…”

What was this? Was she supposed to be unintentionally playing along with the plot?

Under the gaze of those cold, dark eyes, Su Wan, looking unfazed, calmly said, “Sorry, I accidentally bumped into it.”

Her apology was absolutely unconvincing.

Anyone could tell that she had successfully pulled off a prank and was now teasing Shen Tingyan again. The person involved probably thought the same, and his expression grew even colder.

Su Wan sighed.

She had explained herself, but what else could she do?

It seemed she had already been cast as the one to blame.
