I am a fragile beauty, paralyzed from the waist down, married to a rough, unrefined man. He takes care of me with meticulous attention to detail, yet he refuses to consummate our marriage. I thought he didn't love me, that he only married me out of gratitude. Until I saw a few lines of floating text, like comments on a live stream: [The rough guy is actually the long-lost heir of the wealthy Thorne family. He's about to be recognized and return to his true status.] [The vicious, attention-seeking side character (me) will fall for the fake heir, be tricked by him, steal all the rough guy's assets, and run away with the fake heir.] [After getting the money, the fake heir will lock her in a basement and starve her to death.] [She deserves it. Only the universally loved, group-favorite heroine is the true match for the rough guy male lead.] So, the rough guy will indeed fall for someone better. I decided to ask him for a large sum of money and divorce him. But then, another wave of comments appeared: [The side character is so dumb. The rough guy has had a secret crush on her for ten years.] [Side character: breathes] [Male Lead: Wifey is so impressive.] [As long as you give him one kiss, he'll be your obedient puppy.] 1 A car accident left me paralyzed from the waist down. I became a fragile beauty unable to care for myself, married to a rough, unrefined man named Julian. My health was poor. With the change of seasons, I fell seriously ill again and stayed in the hospital for two weeks. Julian made chicken soup for me. He shredded the chicken leg meat, mixed it with the soup and rice, and fed me spoon by spoon. Feeling unwell, I threw a small tantrum. "No appetite, I don't want to eat." He pulled a jewelry box from his pocket, opened it to reveal a thick gold bracelet. My face instantly lit up. "Put it on me, quick." I happily admired the big gold bracelet. When Julian fed me again, I ate. My mood improved, and I ate an extra half bowl of rice. Julian finished my leftovers in a few bites. Just then, I felt a warm flow. "Julian, I got my period." Julian helped me change my pants and put on a pad. I watched him do all this expressionlessly and skillfully. Julian treated me very well. But he didn't love me. Married for three years, Julian would bathe me and dress me, but refused to sleep with me. We hadn't even kissed. He had zero interest in me. Julian and I were high school classmates. We shared a desk for two years. Back then, Julian had no money for food. Although my allowance was small, I often treated him to meals. His care for me now was just repayment for that kindness. Just then, floating text suddenly appeared before my eyes: [The rough guy is actually the long-lost heir of the wealthy Thorne family. He's about to be recognized and return to his true status.] [The vicious, attention-seeking side character (me) will fall for the fake heir, be tricked by him, steal all the rough guy's assets, and run away with the fake heir.] [After getting the money, the fake heir will lock her in a basement and starve her to death.] [She deserves it. Only the universally loved, group-favorite heroine is the true match for the rough guy male lead.] My heart raced. Good news: I married into a wealthy family. Bad news: I have the script of a vicious side character. Julian will fall in love with someone better. When that time comes, I won't stand in the way of his happiness. I'll ask for a huge sum of money and divorce him. 2 I finally recovered. Julian carried me home on his back. Downstairs, several luxury cars were parked. The Thorne family had found him. Julian is the Prince of the Capital. That makes me the Princess Consort. We moved into the Thorne family's mansion—Dragon Villa. At the welcome banquet for Julian's return, I was dressed in haute couture, dripping in jewelry, with exquisite makeup, pushed into the banquet hall by Julian. I became the center of gossip. "The long-lost true heir of the Thorne family actually married a cripple." "She really hit the jackpot, flying up to become a phoenix overnight." Hehe. Luck is also a kind of skill. Just then, I saw a beautiful figure from behind. The crowd gasped in admiration. "Claire Vance is just too beautiful." "The young Mrs. Thorne is a top beauty too, but compared to Claire, she pales in comparison." Claire Vance is the heroine. I craned my neck, wanting to see just how beautiful she was. "Claire saved Mrs. Thorne's life and is deeply favored by her." "After the Vance family went bankrupt, Mrs. Thorne took her into the Thorne home, grooming her as a future daughter-in-law." "If the young master hadn't been switched at birth, she would be Julian's wife." "Even married people can divorce. No man can resist Claire's charm." I instantly lost interest in looking at the beauty. My chest felt tight. Text floated by: [The male and female leads finally meet.] [The vicious side character is jealous of the heroine's beauty and frames her in various ways.] Heh, vicious side character? Even a dog wouldn't play that role... Claire turned around. Seeing her face, I felt like I had fallen into an ice cave. The day I went to register at Capital University, I was hit by a speeding red sports car. I lay in a pool of blood. Through my fading consciousness, I heard the driver on the phone. "Attorney Chen, I hit someone. Come handle it quickly." "My limited edition sports car, only two in the whole city, is dented." She kicked my arm with her high heel. "She's not dead. Can a poor person's cheap life compare to my car?" Pain. So much pain. Tears fell from the corners of my eyes. "Help me..." She turned a deaf ear. My blood stained her high heels. She looked down at her shoes, disgusted. "Filthy!" I tried hard to see the person's face clearly. That driver was Claire Vance. Such a beautiful face. Such a cold heart. I pinched my numb legs, looking at the glamorous Claire. Hatred grew in my heart. Fine, I'll play the vicious side character. I'm going to steal the male lead from the heroine. And kick her out of Dragon Villa. 3 That night, Julian drew a hot bath and carried me in. He wore rubber gloves and used a bath sponge to wash me, minimizing skin-to-skin contact. I brushed my bangs aside, ready to flirt. I stuck out my chest. "Julian, it hurts here." "Check if there's a lump inside." Julian froze, motionless for a long time. I pulled off his glove and took his hand. "Squeeze it, right here." I watched Julian's expression. I didn't believe he felt nothing. "No lumps." "Tomorrow, I'll take you to the hospital for a checkup." I was furious. How could his tone be so calm? Am I really that unattractive? Just then, another wave of text floated by: [The side character is so dumb. The rough guy has had a secret crush on you for ten years.] [Side character: breathes] [Male Lead: Wifey is so impressive.] [You tease him like this, he's about to explode.] [As long as you give him one kiss, he'll be your obedient puppy.] Ten years? That means Julian has had a crush on me since high school. I was skeptical. I wrapped my arms around Julian's neck and kissed his lips. Julian stood like a wooden stake, motionless, lips tight. I sucked on his lips alone for a while, feeling quite awkward. Julian pulled my arms down, his face dark, and actually yelled at me. "Sarah, you don't need to please me." "Don't listen to their nonsense. Even if my status has changed, I won't divorce you." "I will take care of you for the rest of my life." I was stunned by his shouting. Forget it. I can't move him. New text emerged: [He loves her so much, just being stubborn and pretending.] [He's on fire but still refuses to touch his wife.] [Because Julian knows his wife doesn't love him, she just needs him.] [He's sad because there's no love in her eyes.] I decided to try one more time. I grabbed Julian's collar, kissed him, and pried open his lips. Our breaths mingled. This time, Julian didn't refuse me. He held the back of my neck and deepened the kiss. Kissing harder and harder. Like he wanted to devour me. I frowned. I couldn't breathe. I pounded on his chest. After a long time, Julian finally let me go. Gasping for breath. Julian stared at me intently, rubbing my lips with his thumb. His eyes were red, filled with a desire that alarmed me. I could hear his thunderous heartbeat. I smiled, triumphant. So the text was true. Those who are favored have nothing to fear. My confidence soared. My finger traced his chest, firmly grasping the bad girl script. "Hubby, let's play." Julian's Adam's apple rolled. "Don't regret it." "I won't." I pulled gently, and he sat into the bathtub. The tub was large enough for two. Water surged. For the first time, I noticed how long Julian's fingers were. ... Julian wrapped me in a towel and tucked me into bed. He turned and rushed into the bathroom, turning on the shower. What does he mean? He just helped me out. The text revealed his thoughts: [The male lead wasn't satisfied at all.] [Wife is weak, he didn't dare feast, only dared to taste a little sweetness.] [Male lead really has a service mindset. If wife is happy, he's happy.] [Can't hold it anymore, has to solve it himself.] I covered my face, blushing furiously. 4 Dragon Villa is a Chinese-style mansion, huge. Julian and I lived in a detached house with a courtyard. The first thing Julian did after moving in was install cameras everywhere. Including the bathroom. I sneakily opened my phone, put on headphones, and hid under the covers to watch the bathroom feed. It was more exciting than any adult movie I'd ever seen. Male Bodhisattva, what a feast~ I don't know if it was my illusion. Julian seemed to be looking at the camera. He shouldn't know I'm peeping, right? Scaring myself. Almost an hour later. Julian finally came out of the bathroom. I quickly turned off my phone and pretended to sleep. There were two quilts on the bed. For three years, we slept in separate quilts. Julian put his quilt in the closet. Lifted my quilt and slept with me. Julian pulled me into his arms and kissed my forehead. I thought I wouldn't be used to it, that I'd have insomnia. But being held by him, I felt secure and fell asleep quickly. In my drowsiness, I heard him ask, "Wifey, am I handsome?" I thought I was dreaming. I answered honestly, "Handsome, hehehe~"
