After staying up all night to finish a harem novel aimed at male readers, Lin Wei accidentally transmigrates into a book while complaining about the male lead’s scumbag behavior. She becomes the novel’s male lead, Shen Yu, and is bound to a System that forces her to win over 99 heroines.
The day she arrives is the engagement banquet between “him” and the first heroine, Su Qingyi. Born into a wealthy family but neglected by them, Su Qingyi is a cool, aloof beauty. In the original plot, she would fall in love with the male lead after their engagement, then silently put up with his entanglements with other women because of her insecurity and low self-esteem.
Looking at the prickly girl before her, whose heart is fragile beneath the thorns, Lin Wei makes up her mind: whoever wants to follow that trashy plot can do so. She’ll protect Su Qingyi and turn this awful harem story on its head!
The System keeps issuing warnings, the plot’s corrective force repeatedly creates crises, and the female rivals take turns provoking them. But Lin Wei, now Shen Yu, remains steadfastly by Su Qingyi’s side:
At the engagement banquet, she ignores the System’s task and gently escorts her away.
Amid rumors and gossip, she cracks down on the culprits and clears Su Qingyi’s name.
When schemes and plots arise, she shields Su Qingyi time and again and dismantles every trap.
From wary distance to slowly opening her heart, and then to falling deeply in love, Su Qingyi gradually regains her confidence in the way “Shen Yu” favors her alone, and learns how to love and be loved.
When Lin Wei breaks free of every plot constraint and clears away all obstacles, she makes a promise to Su Qingyi at a grand wedding. What began as an accident caused by transmigrating into a book becomes a destined life together.
This is the story of a woman who transmigrates into the male lead of a novel aimed at male readers, refuses to build a harem, dotes exclusively on a cool, aloof beauty, and joins her in defying the plot as they choose each other.
