I seem to have reincarnated in the world of an r-rated romance fantasy novel. And not just as an ordinary character, but as the witch who loses her life to the crazy male lead!

Luckily there is a long 200 years until the main characters are born and grow into their roles.

Now that my life is not in imminent danger, shall we leisurely think of ways to avoid death?

However, I had not taken notice of a very important detail about the time I’d be spending ‘safe from imminent danger’. 200 years was by no means a short waiting period and by the time the younger version of the male lead appeared in front of me , I had completely forgotten the original novel’s plot!

Oh, whatever, now that it’s come to this, the only way to survive is to raise the male lead into a sane and stable adult! The first step to avoiding death by the hands of the tyrant male lead is changing this extremely frightened child’s life.

“It must be very inconvenient for you to have me suddenly show up on your doorstep, I’m sorry. You can tell me to go away, I’ll be fine.”

“Nonsense. Do I look like someone who could be inconvenienced by a little boy like you? Also, what do you mean by you’ll be fine even if told to go away? It’s not like you have anywhere to go back to, kid.”

The little boy burst into tears.

‘Oh, this is so not it.’ Was what the witch thought to herself as the little boy sobbed

Lin Anan penetrated into the novels of the ABO entertainment circle and became a vicious cannon fodder of an 18th-tier weak A. Not only did he end up pitifully, but his abilities were weak like Beta.

Lin Anan immediately decided to bypass the protagonists and keep the plot low-key to the end.

However, while pretending to be a Beta to make a living, he accidentally marked Er Yu Nanxi, a vicious and drunken woman who was lost in love.

Thinking of Yu Nanxi’s methods, Lin Anan had no choice but to run away.

When encountering Yun Nanxi’s fever again, Lin Anan, who just wanted to take a detour, was found to have a very high pheromone fit with Yun Nanxi.

In order to save enough money to run away as soon as possible, she could only bite the bullet and stay behind, pretending that she didn’t know Yu Nanxi.

Just when Lin Anan was saving money and preparing to run away, he was recognized by Yu Nanxi and blocked in the dressing room. Yu Nanxi said coldly, “During this time, you can make me look good.”

Lin Anan was cowardly and weak: “Well, I actually don’t know what happened, but I can make it up, really!”

“Why don’t I wash it for you? I’ll go with you, but I don’t have enough money now…”

The corner of Yu Nanxi’s mouth twitched: “Want to wash it off? It’s beautiful!”

Lin Anan: ? ? ?

After becoming famous, Yu Nanxi, the actress who never took intimate scenes, actually took part in a Double O Lily movie with a kiss scene recently.
What’s shocking is that there are not only several kissing scenes with the second girl in this movie, but also many indescribable scenes with the third girl.
When the filming of the official film started, the kiss scenes of Yu Nanxi and the second female Tang Xin were all shot in dislocation.
Fans clapped their chests and said that Queen Yu Ying is still Queen Yu Ying, how could she film a kiss scene.
On the second day, it was Yu Nanxi’s turn to shoot a kiss scene with the third female Lin An’an.
Fans looked at Lin An’an, an eight hundred and eighty-eighth-line star profile, and ignored it at all, but saw Yu Nanxi holding each other’s face and kissing him.
