She is seriously ill.

She was seriously ill, but she liked me. So, for now, I'll assume she's not sick. - Zhang Lu said, "Meeting you was destined, but also a gift from heaven." Intense and reserved male protagonist x mentally ill female protagonist. Exciting selected passage: He quietly walked past her, his wet hair seemingly still dripping water, strands sticking to his cheeks. Water droplets fell one by one from those pitch-black locks, staining his hair, making Su Zai momentarily feel that the flowing water would also be as black. His eyes, pitch-black, contrasted with his fair face, shining particularly bright. Su Zai looked down at the umbrella in her hand, her eyes somewhat absent-minded. A feeling of annoyance suddenly came over her, accompanied by absurd thoughts. He must have done it on purpose, he must know how irresistible he looks. That's why he deliberately got wet in the rain, deliberately walked past her. Deliberately...tempting her.

One day, after crossing over to another world and for the sake of survival, she resolutely embarks on a journey to unlock the strategies for dealing with scum men and experience the beautiful but treacherous realm of pursuing love and being cremated. However, wait a minute—she becomes the cannon fodder and substitute of the female protagonist in a white moonlight abusive love story, ruthlessly exploited and abandoned by the scum men, the daoist fairy unable to rest in peace, the supporting role who suffers torment in the world of male schoolgirls' literature, the heartless black moonlight of the warlord marshal, and a decade of time spent accompanying a poor boy from nothing to a net worth of billions, only to be abandoned by the petty first love who loved money more than the poor. Although she claims revenge, in reality, she is showered with sweet doting until the happy ending of a grand reunion, only to find herself imprisoned... Looking at these scripts, Tang Ning thought to herself: Damn... Damn it all! What should I do?
