1. Song Yan transmigrated into a nameless extra in a novel, just after marrying a male wife. Though the marriage wasn’t ideal, avoiding the story’s plot should ensure a peaceful life.

When his subordinates brought captives up the mountain, he spotted that familiar face in the crowd— But just before acting, he thought: killing him outright would be too merciful.
