An hour later, Shi Ning’s hands trembled, a furious tremor that seemed to mimic Parkinson’s. Her face, flushed crimson, was aimed squarely at Qin Heye. “I’m ignoring you from now on,” she declared, still the words which leave her mouth was like a strained whisper. He had promised it would be quick, ending in a fleeting moment, but in the end… As expected, men’s words are deceiving!
Qin Heye, a picture of smug satisfaction, gazed at Shi Ning’s lips, still swollen and rosy from his kisses. He scooped her up effortlessly, carrying her into the bathroom. He gently settled her on the sink, the warm water now flowing as he meticulously washed her hands.
“If it’s inconvenient, don’t tease me,” he murmured, a dangerous edge to his voice. “There are so many ways to satisfy me, hmm?”
Shi Ning, mortified, glared at him. “Hmph!”
After drying her hands with tender care, Qin Heye carried her back to the room, tucking them both beneath the soft quilt. He pulled her close, spooning her tightly from behind. “I’ll spare you this time. We have a long way to go, and we can develop it slowly.” His unspoken promise, a chilling vow, hung in the air: Next time, begging for mercy would be useless. His desire for her, once ignited by her own innocent flirtations, had become an insatiable fire. It would never retreat. He craved her, not as a fleeting conquest, but for a lifetime, an eternity.
Shi Ning groaned softly, her elbow nudging his chest in a weak protest.
Qin Heye rested his chin lightly on her shoulder, his voice a low, possessive rumble. “Shi Ning.”
“Hmm?” Shi Ning mumbled, a wave of sleepiness washing over her, utterly exhausted by him.
“You were the one who flirted with me first, you can’t regret it now !” The words were less a question and more a warning. There was no point in regret. He truly had no intention of letting her go again, of granting her the freedom to love anyone else. If she dared to love another, to flirt with another man, he would shatter. He would go mad, a terrifying madness that left him uncertain of his own actions.
Shi Ning felt the palpable weight of his possessiveness, that dark aura that threatened to consume her. A wrong answer, and she envisioned the attic, the golden chain, forced love—just like the comments in the barrage had foretold. In the past, this terrifying side of Qin Heye would send shivers of pure terror through her. But now, the fear was lessened, though not entirely gone. She just disliked the feeling, not wanting to be hurt.
Shi Ning turned over, wrapping her arms around Qin Heye’s firm waist, burying her small face against his chest. Her voice, though soft with sleep, was laced with an undeniable resolve. “Yes, I will never regret it.”
Qin Heye listening to her promise held her even tighter, pulling her closer until they drifted into sleep.
The night was a canvas of impenetrable darkness. In the deepest shadows, a solitary figure sat hunched in a corner, staring into the abyss, a phone clutched in their hand.
Finally, the silence shattered as the phone buzzed to life—an unknown number. The figure answered, listening intently, their expression unreadable in the gloom.
“Is Mr. Qin still okay? Didn’t he go to the hospital?” A voice crackled through the receiver.
“That stupid woman didn’t quarrel with Mr. Qin?”
“Did she become smart after eating pig brains?”
“Let’s see, find another way, sharpen the knife to kill people.”
The call ended abruptly, plunging the space back into oppressive silence.
The next day Shi Ning woke up to an empty bed. Qin Heye was gone. She reached for her phone, opening it to find the game that Qin Heye was palying on her behalf . As she login to her account today’s task popped up: Go check on the chickens again, donate the eggs they laid, and then drive the chickens to Lemon’s house to steal them.
Suddenly, the familiar barrage appeared floating in front of her eyes :
[The female supporting role is really stupid. She always plays such small games when using her phone.]
[Eating pig brains can’t replenish her brain, that person’s statement is wrong!]
Shi Ning’s eyes widened. Who is that person? she thought. Can the barrage be more clear?
[The murderous knife that person mentioned, is it Shi Ning? After all, she is a vicious female supporting role. She must have a backer to be able to commit suicide in the end.]
[Need I ask? Of course it is. Borrow this stupid, sharp knife from the female supporting character. I can kill a lot of people. It’s free and it works great!]
Shi Ning’s jaw dropped. Who is this commentator? Get rid of him! She was sensitive, she couldn’t stand being insulted! She scanned the comments for a long time, but they offered no clue as to the identity of “that person.” The commentators themselves seemed unaware, and more importantly, they implied she wasn’t in any immediate danger. That’s fine, she decided. I’m not in a hurry. If there’s danger, if there’s a plot, the comments will spoil it.
So a good mood settled over her once again , and she continued playing her game, occasionally glancing at the comments. The sheer volume of them indicated that the current topic must be the hero and heroine’s storyline.
[Ahhh! Baby Yinyin and Shen Xizhou are so sweet! My favorite sweet story!]
[The hero and heroine finally did it. Shi Ning, the vicious female supporting character, originally wanted to sow discord between them, but who knew that a divine assist would make them do it! It’s developing so rapidly]
[If the vicious female supporting character knew, she would definitely be envious and jealous, her face twisted with envy! Jealousy twists humanity!]
[Supporting actress! Show some strength to our fans of this vicious couple! Give us more DO! DO to death! Don’t lose! Shen Xizhou has a fever of 38.5 degrees Celsius, and Shi Qingyin says she wants to experience what it’s like to be at 38.5 degrees Celsius, and she’s Did it woth him.]
[So, the villain’s fever is about to reach 40 degrees Celsius, so let our supporting actress experience the 40-degree villain, and she’ll melt right away, 1.85 degrees Celsius better than the heroine.]
Shi Ning was speechless. …!!! A 40-degree fever meant a trip to the hospital! Who would even want that? This was pure madness, a desperate, almost suicidal kind of love.
[Baby Yinyin nestles in Shen Xizhou’s arms, discussing with him how to torture Shi Ning, the vicious supporting actress!]
[I love our baby Yinyin the most. She’s beautiful, smart, ambitious, and never shows mercy to those who bully her.]
[I have a question, the female supporting role didn’t seem to bully Shi Qingyin, right? She has been very good to her since she was a child. It was she who plotted to steal the female supporting role’s fiancé that made her turn evil. It’s understandable.]
[These days, people just like to whitewash vicious female supporting roles. They can do bad things if there is a reason. I also said that I had an unhappy childhood. Can I turn evil and kill people?]
The barrage devolved into another argument about the female lead and the female supporting role. Shi Ning scrolled past it, playing her game for a while longer. When the comments reached 99+, she returned to them, carefully picking out the useful ones.
[Shi Qingyin wanted to call Shi Ning and said that Shen Xizhou was sick. He said that he missed her so much that he couldn’t eat or sleep. He also said that Qin Heye hired someone to beat Shen Xizhou.]
[Then Shi Ning secretly ran out to see Shen Xizhou. Seeing that he was beaten very badly, he went back to find Qin Heye and smashed his head with an ashtray.]
[The supporting actress almost beat the villain to death, but villains are like cockroaches that can’t be killed. The villain didn’t die, and he pinned the supporting actress down, taking vengeance on her, beating her to death! She cried and begged for mercy!]
Shi Ning’s eyes widened in horror. !!! Is he so cruel? The comments were detailing the original novel’s plot. In the original story, Shi Ning had already been imprisoned in the attic by Qin Heye, starving and thirsty for three days before gaining her temporary freedom. But because Shen Xizhou was sick, and hearing he’d been beaten by Qin Heye, she had run out. This series of events led to her being imprisoned again.
Summarizing the plot, Shi Ning was speechless. She was so stupid! She ran away and then actually came back to find Qin Heye? And Qin Heye, so cruel! His head bleeding, yet still able to force himself on her?
