Su Wanqing, a wealthy heiress, unexpectedly awakens to the truth: she is the villainess in a novel, destined to throw her life away to advance the romance between the leads and ultimately end up behind bars. She decisively breaks off her infatuation with the original male lead, Lin Fan, and returns to the side of her childhood friend, Gu Yehan.
Gu Yehan is a powerful, possessive CEO with a cold and imperious exterior, but he sees Su Wanqing as his only light. When he was at his lowest and most desperate, she saved him like a little sun, and that warmth became an obsession he would cling to for the rest of his life. He dotes on Su Wanqing and grants her every wish, becoming her strongest support.
With the Gu family's influence and her own talent for perfumery, Su Wanqing makes one comeback after another, turning the original plot upside down with face-slapping victories. When Lin Fan awakens and tries to win her back through underhanded means, and even the original heroine, Bai Lu, sees the truth and allies herself with Su Wanqing, the war over fate, class, and true love finally begins.
