the socially anxious side character is too cute

The socially anxious Xu Qingli transmigrated into a novel.

The original character was a villainess who charmed everyone, maintaining a whole pond of fish as admirers, only to crash and burn when trying to seduce the male lead, ending up disgraced.

After transmigrating, Xu Qingli only has two thoughts: 

1. Quit the entertainment industry.
2. Stay far, far away from the ultimate villain, Wen Qiaozhou.

Wen Qiaozhou has a strange ability—he can see the inner thoughts of others as bullet comments. Unfortunately for him, they were all negative, causing him to be increasingly irritable.

Until one day, during the audition for a female lead for a company promotional video, Wen Qiaozhou met Xu Qingli and discovered that her inner thoughts were actually appearing as ridiculously cute little comics.

Wen Qiaozhou chose Xu Qingli as the female lead, only to see the chibi version of her in her mind pull out a mint-green cube from her brain labeled CPU. The next second—bang! The CPU exploded, leaving the little girl charred from head to toe, slowly toppling over, leaving behind just one final thought bubble: [Already dead. Don’t @ me.]

Wen Qiaozhou: So cute, want to take her home.

Xu Qingli: Stay away from me!

[Bonus Scene]

As Xu Qingli grew increasingly popular, with no hope of quitting the industry and had more and more interactions with Wen Qiaozhou, she decided to resort to a drastic measure—rumour had it that Wen Qiaozhou had a secret lair filled with unspeakable secrets. The original female lead had accidentally stumbled in once and was swiftly blacklisted in the novel.

So, on a dark and stormy night, Xu Qingli infiltrated Wen Qiaozhou’s secret lair.

Fresh out of the shower, Wen Qiaozhou saw the bathroom window being pushed open from the outside—the soft, sweet girl he had hidden in his heart slowly peeked in, only to freeze in horror at the sight before her, covering her face with hands, her ears burning red.

But when Wen Qiaozhou met her gaze through the gaps of her fingers, he clearly saw the chibi version of her in her mind boldly pouncing on him, tugging open his robe… and biubiubiu¹: she was squeezing his muscles.

Wen Qiaozhou loosened the belt of his robe: “…”

This is just too much… The real thing is right here, you know?
