Lu Yuzhuo accidentally transmigrates into the novel Ask the Immortals. To return home, she must kill the story's main villain. But she has become Lu Yuzhuo, the second young lady of the Duke of Guo's household, and the villain is the handsome guard who has always protected her. Lu Yuzhuo is at a loss for tears...
She sees the villain always watching her with an inscrutable gaze. While she sleeps, he even pretends to clutch her throat, yet in public he puts on the act of a well-behaved, sensible young guard, as bright and upright as the moon.
Having read countless books, especially stories about obsessive madmen, Lu Yuzhuo immediately sees what's going on. Hah! A wolf in sheep's clothing, thinking nobody can see what's on his mind? Hmph, what a nasty piece of work!
In the days that follow, both of them play their parts while harboring ulterior motives. Lu Yuzhuo acts as if she admires Bie Ze, worries about him, and cares for him, but secretly trips him up, waiting for a chance to stab him in the back. Bie Ze acts gentle, loyal, bright, and upright, but is actually ruthless and unscrupulous.
Somehow, their schemes eventually turn into an embrace they cannot resist, then a kiss born of deep affection.
But the System's constant reminders, the ever-advancing plot, and Bie Ze's increasingly exposed true nature all shatter this dreamlike love.
Lu Yuzhuo watches Bie Ze approach step by step, staring at her with a crazed look. Frightened, she backs away, tugging at the chain around her ankle. As the possessiveness and destructive urges in Bie Ze's heart grow wild, he sighs and says, "Bie Ze, Bie Ze, all my life, no one has ever chosen me."
"Except you..."
"A-Zhuo, could you choose me forever and never leave me...?"
