After dying, Jiang Yunxian, a sickly beauty with androgynous features, transmigrates into a book and is forced by the System to boldly win over the fearsome villain. He suffers terribly along the way. Once he completes the System’s mission, he chooses to fake his death. Ignoring the System’s objections, he tells the villain, “I’m sorry. I never loved you.”
System: [Host! Why would you provoke him like that?!]
Jiang Yunxian: [After everything he did to me, can’t I get a little revenge?]
Who could have guessed that after faking his death, he would transmigrate again? When he opens his eyes, he discovers he’s become his own replacement.
Jiang Yunxian: [System! Didn’t you say I could leave after completing the mission?!]
System: [The villain’s corruption level is too high. I can’t control him.]
Jiang Yunxian: [Oh. So I brought this on myself.]

Being a replacement is no easy job.
The day before yesterday, someone threw water on him. The day before that, he was beaten. Yesterday, someone shoved him into a pool and nearly froze him to death.
The villain’s mercurial moods make him a convenient punching bag at any moment.
Half-dead from all the torment, Jiang Yunxian asks: [System, do you think I should reveal who I really am?]
System: [Host, are you sure?]
One day, Jiang Yunxian mentions the name he had in his previous life. The villain suddenly grabs him by the face and says, “What right do you have to bring him up? Don’t think you can do whatever you want just because you look like him!”
Jiang Yunxian: “Maybe I’ll pass.”

Later, Jiang Yunxian finally finds a chance to escape the villain’s protection and control, only to be cornered at a hotel the day after he sneaks away.
