[One-on-one romance + transmigrate into a book + mild angst + restraint + missions]
Ruan Ning was infuriated to death by her stupid coworker.
She transmigrated into the tragic White Moonlight character written by her own little sister.
Her first mission was to torment the heroine. Ruan Ning forced herself to accept it at first, but she just couldn’t go through with it, so she begged to have the mission changed.
[Change the White Moonlight’s ending and find out who really killed her.]
She gets only three chances to check her answer each time. Get it wrong on the third try, and the story goes straight to its ending.
Here, she meets the Second Master of Haicheng, Wanyan Shixu, who is also a villain. He gradually gets closer to her, but with no information to go on, Ruan Ning can’t tell whether he’s telling the truth.
She might as well treat it as a romance that’s doomed to go nowhere.
Whenever she’s about to fall for him, she manages to pull back in time, because Ruan Ning believes they’re all just characters on a page:
[No matter what, he’s just a fictional character. I’ll be going back to the real world eventually. If I really fall for him, what will I do when I leave? I can’t stay here forever.]
Wanyan Shixu: [What will it take for you to make room for me in your heart?]
