Su Wanning, heir to the Su Group, wakes up to discover she’s the love-struck female side character in an old-fashioned CEO romance novel. Her life’s mission is to pave the way for the leads’ love and shower them with resources, only to end up with her family destroyed and a tragic fate.
After waking up to the truth, Su Wanning comes to her senses: a black card beats being love-struck, and enjoying life while lying flat is much better than being a background character! She promptly dumps the trash male lead, Gu Yanchen, tears up their engagement agreement, and spends all the money she used to sink into his problems on herself: limited-edition handbags, a private island, and trips around the world. She also sends evidence of his tax evasion to the tax bureau, pushing the Gu Group to the brink of bankruptcy.
When the heroine, Lin Weiwei, tries to provoke her with fake sweetness, Su Wanning fires back by giving her a limited-edition item as a “shield.” When the powerful antagonist, Lu Jingyuan, shows interest, she sets a high bar for dating: “One year of Michelin-starred food tastings.” Even when the original author comes to her asking to continue the story, she demands a hefty “rewrite fee,” just so the leads will hurry up and get together for good and leave her alone.
From accidentally becoming the fashion world’s newest darling, to showing off her wealth on livestreams and making her hometown’s products a hit, to raising a corgi and opening a dessert shop so she can enjoy “dessert freedom,” Su Wanning’s life of lying flat is one hilarious lucky break after another. In the end, she not only wins the antagonist’s sincere love, but also lies flat with her child by her side, living the ultimate life of carefree luxury and completely rewriting the original novel’s tragic ending.
