After Saving the Hero and Heroine, the Heroine Pursues Me

Ling Linyi, the beloved daughter of the Ling family, grew up adored by everyone. She also has a little brother, Ling Yizhou, five years younger than her, born to her mother. When she was twelve, she accidentally discovered that touching him let her see on-screen comments and the story's plot. It turned out she was living inside a novel, and her little brother was destined to be the male lead. At seventeen, he would embark on a love filled with misunderstandings with the heroine, Chen Xingyu, eventually becoming a twisted man who verbally abused and imprisoned her. Looking at the sweet, soft-hearted boy offering her candy, Ling Linyi refused to believe it. From then on, she became his "best friend, devoted to protecting the love between the male and female leads." She taught him to respect women, encouraged him to be thoughtful, and gave him lessons in how to conduct himself, while also introducing him to business early on. When she was twenty-three, Ling Linyi saw the plot again. The heroine, Chen Xingyu, was an unloved daughter of the Chen family. Her lack of affection and poor communication with the male lead were the source of all their friction. Ling Linyi immediately switched into "matchmaker and future sister-in-law protector" mode. Whenever Chen Xingyu ran into trouble, Ling Linyi was there first. She helped her grow, supported her through university, and bridged the communication gap between the two. In the end, Ling Yizhou became a responsible gentleman, and Chen Xingyu became confident and cheerful. Though they never fell in love, they made perfect business partners. Ling Linyi thought that even if things hadn't gone the way she'd hoped, at least the male and female leads had no romantic entanglements, no misunderstandings, and no friction. What could be wrong with that ending? But then the story suddenly veered off course. Chen Xingyu, who seemed like a delicate little flower, turned out to have a calculating side and confessed to her! Ling Linyi was completely bewildered. She'd set out to save the male and female leads, so how had she ended up becoming the "heroine"?
