The Supporting Actress's Moment in the Spotlight

Chen Lu learns that she's a supporting character in four books. She's the scheming best friend in a childhood-sweethearts romance, the foil in a sweet redemption story about a top student and a school bully, the male lead's unattainable first love in a second-chance romance, and the car-crash victim killed by an overbearing CEO's younger brother, whose crime the female lead's father takes the blame for. When Chen Lu decides to stay out of the plot and live her life, the friend who once trampled on their friendship begs her for forgiveness, saying she's sorry. This time, Chen Lu is the one who's exceptional. She's not sure who is whose foil anymore. The unattainable first love becomes a mere speck of rice? Treating love like a game? This time, it's still love at first sight, only now it's unrequited. She'll be the bridge that brings you together, then see if your love survives when you go bankrupt. Ji Lianhai has been reborn countless times with his memories intact, trapped in an endless loop. He's lost all curiosity about the people and things in the world. He struggles to express his feelings accurately and is rather slow on the uptake. He likes animals, but they all fear him. Chen Lu thinks Ji Lianhai hugs her because he likes her. Only later does she realize he has trouble expressing his feelings and is simply following his parents' example to show his gratitude. From then on, whenever Ji Lianhai tries to say he likes her or confess his feelings, Chen Lu assumes he's expressing himself incorrectly. As a result, Ji Lianhai loses no small amount of hair.
