[Soft, innocent sweetheart VS a scheming, sweet-on-the-outside, dark-on-the-inside yandere]
Yu Yanyu suddenly awakens to the truth: she is a disposable character in a storybook. She is the male lead’s wife, falls in love with a guard, and eventually suffers a bitter divorce and a tragic ending.
She feels wronged. The plot controlled her, making her turn down a perfectly good gold ingot for a mere guard.
After awakening, she marries the male lead’s younger brother, planning to bring the main couple together, win their favor, and change her own fate.
On her wedding night, she lifts her veil and discovers she has still married the male lead.
“My younger brother refuses to marry you, so you’ll have to settle for marrying me.”
She is devastated.
After the wedding, she tries every possible way to keep her distance. She hires a master and follows his advice, acting out every day to make her husband sick of her.
She clings to Xie Yuanqing all day, insisting he feed her at meals and carry her after just a few steps. At night, she deliberately lies on top of him until he can barely breathe.
When the truth comes out, she learns that the master was hired by him, and that the reason they ended up consummating their marriage when she had refused was that he had drugged her.
Only then does she realize she was sold out and even helped count the money.
She pushes the male lead toward the female lead, packs her things, and runs away.
Later, Xie Yuanqing turns the entire capital upside down, kills the female lead, and finds her.
After that, she is imprisoned in his study…
