The Male Lead’s Backyard is on Fire

When explorer Yu Chili tumbled down the cliff, she awoke clutching a bruised beauty in torn silks.

Had she transmigrated? Into the venomous side character of some tragic romance novel?

This “villainess” had married the male lead only to become his accomplice in tormenting the heroine, Liu Luoyi. Their ending? A ruined kingdom. A dagger through the heart. Death in disgrace.

Survival demanded drastic measures: Yu Chili would prevent Liu Luoyi from ever loving that scoundrel.

Thus:

– When the male lead forced a kiss, Yu Chili body-checked him mid-pucker.

– When he tortured Liu Luoyi, Yu Chili knocked him out cold with a temple bell.

– At their wedding, Yu Chili swapped places with the bride, ascending the crimson palanquin herself.

The result? The heroine fell not for the male lead… but for his “evil” wife.

On the day Yu Chili finally divorced the tr*sh husband, she nearly tripped over her own jubilant feet fleeing—only to find Liu Luoyi blocking her path.

The perpetually aloof beauty flushed rose-pink.

“Name your price. Just… don’t leave.”

Capital Gossip Gazette:

The peace-marriage princess who wed a fifth-rank official has divorced! Half the noble houses sent proposals—all beaten back by a mysterious beauty wielding a cudgel.

“Who’s this shrewish madwoman?”

Yu Chili tossed her another club, leaning against the gate with a coquettish smirk.

“My apologies. I spoil her.”

Liu Luoyi had accepted her fate—family slaughtered, dignity shredded—when she appeared.

Turned out, your white knight needn’t ride a stallion.

Sometimes salvation wears rouge and carries divorce papers.
