"Transmigrating into a cannon fodder villain from her favourite novel, Cecil Lan, our heroine decides to change her entire fate.

Her only goal was to prevent her precious protagonist from meeting the miserable ending, and to help him live happily ever after with the main female lead. 

It was all going well until...the protagonist falls in love with Cecil Lan instead, including all of his other fifty soul fragments scattered throughout the world."

Kai could feel Cecil's arm muscles becoming taut, and he furrowed his eyebrows in concern. 


"Cecil? Are you alright? You are tense, does it hurt?"


He saw her wide eyes staring ahead of her, and once she heard Kai talking, she snapped out of reverie. 


"Well, it's just two more stitches, hang in there." Kai encouraged softly and Cecil was touched. 


This adorable puppy is consoling me, even though it doesn't hurt as much as I thought it would. 


Cecil smiled, "I'm fine, your stitching skills are great Kai, I hardly feel anything."


"That's good." Kai grinned. "And...done, now to apply the herb and bandage the wound..."

The aloof and uncaring man was gone, replaced by a man with a bright smile.
