When her soul returned, she was infamous throughout the capital
While staying up late to finish a proposal, PR manager Yan Qiqi was struck by a bolt of lightning and hurled into the world of a historical romance novel. She became Yan Qiqi, the general's legitimate daughter and the story's wicked supporting female character, destined for a tragic end.
By the time she arrived, the original Yan Qiqi had already made herself infamous throughout the capital: she obsessively pursued the male lead, Wen Yanjun, repeatedly framed the heroine, Su Qingyuan, and even turned her childhood engagement into a laughingstock. Worse still, her body had once been possessed by an evil spirit, leaving behind a huge mess. Her father was disappointed in her, her closest friends had distanced themselves, and even the general's family name was on the verge of ruin.
Once Yan Qiqi came to her senses, she decisively tossed out the lovesick heroine's script. Her first move was to call off her engagement, vowing to build a career in the ancient world and live a life on her own terms. Drawing on her modern PR expertise, she put an end to rumors in the capital, used her wits to help a merchant overcome a silk crisis, and set aside her prejudice to turn the heroine, Su Qingyuan, from enemy into friend. When her old adversaries tried to provoke her, she no longer threw tantrums or acted out. Instead, she handled everything with composure and turned public opinion in her favor.
What she never expected was that the male lead, Wen Yanjun, who had once loathed her, would gradually be drawn to her calm, independent nature and seek her out time and again. With the male lead's favor within easy reach on one side and her career plans on the other, Yan Qiqi chose the latter without hesitation. After all, rather than be a supporting character dependent on the male lead, she would much rather be the leading lady of her own life.
From then on, the capital lost a spoiled, domineering general's daughter and gained a remarkable woman, eloquent and gifted in strategy. She cleared her name, secured her family's standing, and even built a commercial empire of her own, rewriting her fate one step at a time.
