Saving the Second Male Lead: True Love

When Li Jiang'er returned to her alma mater for a training course, she accidentally opened a romance novel in the library. After finishing it, she felt sorry for the second male lead's tragic ending. She woke from a dream to find she had transmigrated into the book's world, into the body of a junior high school student named Li Jiang in 1989. She also came across the destitute Wen Yao, the second male lead, and took him home. The two supported each other all the way from middle school through university, and registered their marriage while they were still in college.

As the story progressed, Wen Yao was due to study abroad. Li Jiang wanted to change his fate and prevent him from meeting the male and female leads overseas, which would send his life down a tragic path. But when she tried to stop him from leaving, she began suffering from heart pain, with no medical cause to be found. Li Jiang suspected that she had triggered the laws of this world. She had no choice but to coax Wen Yao into going abroad first. After graduating, she stayed in China, passed the teacher recruitment exam, and continued educating students.

Wen Yao returned to China in a fit of anger and got Li Jiang pregnant. Forced to quit her job, Li Jiang followed him overseas, where she met the story's male and female leads, Qi Han and Gu Mingyou. She also became friends with Gu Mingyou. Li Jiang realized that as long as she kept the leads' story on track, she could safely remain by Wen Yao's side.

As time passed, Li Jiang and Wen Yao had a son and a daughter, and their life grew happier and happier. But on the day Gu Mingyou and Qi Han got married, Li Jiang died in a car accident and returned to the real world. In despair, she went searching for Wen Yao, but the two timelines had diverged, and she couldn't find any trace of him.

After losing his wife, Wen Yao raised their two children alone. By chance, he found a note Li Jiang had tucked into a textbook, and suddenly realized that she wasn't from this world...
