Lin Wei, a top risk analyst, died suddenly after working overtime for 72 consecutive hours. The last memory in her life was a bloody conspiracy novel titled "The Shadow of the Qingyun Emperor" on the screen of her mobile phone.
When she opened her eyes again, she became the vicious female supporting character of the same name in the book - Lin Xingya, the daughter of the general. A stupid cannon fodder who has nothing but beauty, is madly infatuated with the prince, and will be sentenced to death in three days for framing the heroine Bai Suqing. She exists only to die in an extremely tragic way in Chapter 20 of the novel, thereby promoting the development of the relationship between the prince and the heroine Bai Yueguang.
There are only three days left before the death ending arranged for her by the "plot".
This time, Lin Wei's goal is not to snatch the male lead, nor is it to become some Virgin White Lotus. Her only purpose is to survive. Relying on her precise memory of the plot trends, character weaknesses and hidden foreshadowings of the entire book, she wants to maximize her talents as a risk analyst.
What she has to do is not to follow the plot to find life, but to personally dismantle the plot itself that is destined to engulf her. When the chess piece possesses the memory of the chess player, the outcome of the chess game will be redefined by her.
