I'm competing with the male lead for a woman (GL) - Chapter 3.1

Xiao Jin looked at the smile on Chu Shao’s lips, and the tingling sensation on her scalp was hard to shake off.
She is not the original owner, but a modern person who has read countless online novels, so at this moment, it is reasonable to guess— the female lead’s character has collapsed.
Not only did it collapse, but it shattered between tenderness and madness.
Xiao Jin really couldn’t understand how a perfectly fine ancient female lead could end up like this.
Seeing that the maid had already been scared to her knees by the strange behavior of the two, Xiao Jin didn’t know whether the maid was afraid of her or of Chu Shao.
Perhaps both are true.
Xiao Jin had no choice but to dismiss the trembling maid and try to negotiate with Chu Shao again.
Chu Shao continued to look at her with a smile, her expression full of unwavering anticipation.
…she is expecting something.
Xiao Jin didn’t quite understand; she only knew that the female lead had probably gone astray, heading in a strange direction and never coming back.
The system gently reminded the host, “Host, it’s time to drink the wedding wine.”
After being reminded by the system, Xiao Jin finally remembered that in ancient times, couples had to drink the Heqin wine during their wedding.
After all, in the ancient melodramatic story “The Empress of Yao Kingdom,” there is no scene depicting the female lead getting married and drinking the marriage wine.
Because the male lead politely declined the marriage proposal, the female lead was given to the second male lead by an imperial decree from the Emperor of Qi Kingdom
Since this is an cliché melodramatic romance, the second male lead feels like he picked up the male lead’s discarded goods and is very displeased.
Therefore, he subjected the female lead to all kinds of humiliation and even kicked her out on their wedding night, making her sleep in the woodshed.
Everything aligns perfectly with the development of an cliché story, and then the male lead and the second male lead pursuing the female lead becomes a natural progression.
What unfolds is a scheme, what is insulted is intelligence.
If it weren’t for being bored out of her mind, Xiao Jin probably would never have clicked on this article in her lifetime.
At this moment, Xiao Jin met Chu Shao’s gaze and, with a blank expression, began self-hypnosis:
Xiao Jin, although the female lead is a yandere, you’re not exactly a good person either. You’re the Prince of Yan who destroyed the Yao Kingdom, how can you be afraid of a mere deposed princess?
After the hypnosis, Xiao Jin, with the mindset of “if you come, you should be at peace,” looked at the smile at the corner of Chu Shao’s mouth, reached out, and stopped at the side of the other’s face.
I have to say, the original owner’s hand shape is very beautiful.
It was just that due to contracting a terrible disease during the war, her hands had turned almost transparent and were somewhat too bony.
Chu Shao looked at Xiao Jin’s hand resting beside her face, her eyelashes fluttering gently, but she didn’t move.
A smile gradually deepens at the corners of the lips.
Chu Shao was somewhat curious about whether the Prince of Yan would slap her or choke her.
However, Xiao Jin is destined to disappoint Chu Shao.
Because she is just an ordinary modern person, her mind doesn’t store so many sick behaviors.
So Xiao Jin reached out, moved her fingers, and took off the phoenix crown pressing on Chu Shao’s head.
Without the gilded crown, Chu Shao, dressed only in a red robe, looked even more breathtakingly beautiful.
Seeing that Xiao Jin had only removed the phoenix crown for herself, Chu Shao was somewhat surprised.
However, Chu Shao thought this was just an accident, so the smile on her face did not diminish: “If His Highness finds me an eyesore, just drive me away. Why take it out on it?”
“……”
Xiao Jin fell silent.
The female lead must be seriously ill. I just thought the headdress was too heavy and kindly helped her take it off. How did it escalate to the point of her venting her anger on me?
Xiao Jin succinctly explained, “The phoenix crown is too heavy, very inconvenient.”
It turns out he found it bothersome.
Chu Shao smiled; she could understand Xiao Jin’s thoughts.
After all, many people think that these elaborate accessories will ruin their good fortune.
Before Xiao Jin entered, Chu Shao had actually hidden a dagger under the pillow.
Now she has happily begun to contemplate the best way and angle to drive the dagger into Xiao Jin’s heart.
Just thinking about the thrill of the blade cutting into the skin made Chu Shao’s heart race a bit.
Chu Shao’s heart was filled with joy, but a gentle smile appeared on her lips: “I understand, it is indeed quite troublesome.”
Xiao Jin nodded.
She feels that the female lead isn’t particularly old-fashioned and still has a bit of spirit.
However, unexpectedly, Chu Shao could only try her best to suppress her trembling hands, so that the smile on her face could appear gentle and elegant.
However, the next moment, Xiao Jin’s actions made Chu Shao stop smiling.
Because Xiao Jin didn’t do anything to her, she instead averted her gaze and took two cylindrical loofahs from the table.
The gourd is filled with wine.
The stems of the two gourds are tied together with a red thread, as if they were once a single gourd that had been split in half.
Chu Shao frowned and asked, “What is this?”
Xiao Jin fell silent once again.
The female lead has been living in ancient times for so many years, yet she doesn’t even know what a marriage ceremony wine is. This alternate history protagonist is really too much of a failure.
Faced with the clueless Chu Shao, Xiao Jin, drawing on her extensive experience of reading countless web novels, took the initiative and introduced to the locals, “This is a bitter gourd, and inside it is wedding wine.”
Chu Shao nodded thoughtfully and asked, “What is the use of this wine?”
If it were the original owner, being repeatedly questioned like this by Chu Shao, they would have long since lost patience and killed her with a sword.
