What happens when Eric doesn’t want their contract marriage to end? What happens when the last petal of that indicates her second chance falls?———————EXCPRET“I can’t return your feelings, your grace,” Delia whispered, her back against the cool wall.“But I can,” Eric murmured, stepping closer.Delia’s voice trembled. “It’s not the same.” She choked out. “ No one can love me without hurting me.”“Then teach me,” he said, his breath warm on her cheek. “Teach me how to love you the way you deserve to be loved. I’m a quick study.”When she stayed silent, he sighed contentedly, a soft smile playing on his lips.“It’s alright. Just… use me. Anything you need. if you want money, ask the treasury, take as much money that’s needed. if you want power, use my name. if you want security and love, use my body.”His breath warmed her skin, his chest rose and fell with hers. “As long as it's from you, I'm happy.”

‘He’s so cute I want to kick him flying through the air.’

Bai Yao runs a seafood restaurant in a seaside town. One day, he saw a small sentient sea otter being bullied.

Out of pity, he helped out the little sea otter.

The sea otter acts quite defensively, baring his teeth, all while still covered in wounds yet to heal.

His way of saying thanks, is gifting Bai Yao an oyster in his pocket that’s been sitting there for who-knows-how-long.

Bai Yao ends up bringing the wounded and exhausted little sea otter back to his restaurant, giving him food and a shower.

Though the sea otter is still quite scaredy and defensive. He wouldn’t let Bai Yao rub his cute little face, or even ruffle his fur.

That’s not all the quirks of the little sea otter either. Bai Yao realised he’s a dummy that didn’t even know how to anthropomorphise.

Later that day, Bai Yao wakes up in the middle of the night, when there is something soft he’s holding in his hand.

He looks, and sees the little sea otter has put his paw in his hand. The sleepyhead is also snuggling on him, his head brushing against his chest.

Not feeling drowsy enough to sleep anymore, Bai Yao just props his head on his arm, watching until the otter finally wakes up.

When he finally does, he looks around, and sees that it’s Bai Yao; he squeaks, and then nestles his face against the fingers of Bai Yao.

Amused, Bai Yao asks, “oh? I thought you were a tough little guy that didn’t like petting?”

[You have been killed by the Hero of Light.]

[You have died.]

I had died at the hands of the main character in the novel I had read before.

But I got another chance. I regressed and returned to the time when I first entered this novel world.

Once again, I live in this novel world as an extra character.

Since I have experience and knowledge, especially my World System which had upgraded, I'll do what I want to do.

I will become stronger than the main character.

Seventeen years ago, the Su family held the wrong child!

The fake daughter-in-law occupies the magpie’s nest and robs the loved ones and fiancé that should belong to the real daughter.

The real daughter has left her hometown, the phoenix that has landed is not as good as a chicken, and she is so poor that she does not have a mobile phone.

As soon as this gossip came out, everyone in City B was waiting for the real palace fight drama.

Surprisingly, the true and false daughters who were supposed to fight to the death actually joined forces!

It’s so outrageous!

The real daughter, Su Yunshao, is a celestial master. He plays cats and dogs in the countryside, casts out ghosts and farms. Don’t be too hilarious.
On that day, the biological parents and King Yama came to the door.
Dad Su: “You have suffered.”
Su Ma: “Go home with your parents!”
Hades: “This king has finally found you! It’s a ghost!”
Su Yunshao: ? ? ?

She wants to buy whitening pills for her mother, hair growth cream for her father, and repair liquid for her brother.
However, in the system’s daily grand platform, the points for reading books, doing questions, and writing papers are pitifully small, but the good things in the mall are expensive.
On that day, the real daughter came back, and the system burst into the trenches.
Su Yunshao entered the experimental class, points +300
Top ten in Su Yunshao’s class, points +800
Su Yunshao’s top ten grades, points +2000
The fake daughter looked at the real daughter with eyes like the savior: “Sister, let’s take the Qingbei exam together! Do you like the Department of Physics or the Department of Chemistry?”
Su Yunshao: “…” The ghost’s hand trembled slightly.

1. The main family and career.
