Overt Flirts, Covert Crush

In her last life, Mu Yanxi was bewitched, utterly devoted to Yi Jingming. She fawned over him, exhausted herself for him, only to learn after her death that she was nothing more than cannon fodder in a novel, destined to sacrifice everything for the protagonist's success.

Reborn, Mu Yanxi is done playing along. They want her to be their inside woman, to help them seize the inheritance?

Fine. She’ll defy them by marrying Yi Wulan immediately. Even if Yi Wulan dies, the family fortune will never fall into Yi Jingming’s hands.

Mu Yanxi rushes back to the Yi family's main hall just before the engagement can be broken. There sits Yi Wulan in her wheelchair, her long dress sweeping the floor, her aura refined and noble. But her stunning peach blossom eyes hold a cool, rejecting distance.

Fearless and armed with a stream of flirtatious remarks, Mu Yanxi clicks her tongue, her eyes—flushed from the run—dancing with light. “I’m so crazy about you,” she purrs. “Of course I’m going to marry you.”
Yi Wulan: ???

From that day on, Mu Yanxi, who can’t seem to live without flirting, secretly transfers the healing ability she awakened in another world to Yi Wulan while she sleeps. When she’s discovered the next morning with their hands clasped together, she feigns shyness and turns the tables. “I knew it,” she accuses. “You’re completely smitten and have improper designs on me.”

Yi Wulan: …

Later, on the very night Yi Wulan recovers, Mu Yanxi’s escape attempt is foiled, and she’s left clutching the divorce papers, her eyes red from crying.
