[Two Powerful Leads + Villains + A Wicked Supporting Actress Awakens] As the wicked supporting actress in a rich-family novel, Shen Yanwan dutifully followed the plot for ten years.
She framed the heroine, fawned over the male lead, and schemed to get her hands on the family fortune, until someone shoved her into the pool at a pool party and she suddenly heard a cold mechanical voice in her mind: [Warning: Character deviating from script. Correction protocol about to commence.]
She jolted awake. Her jealousy, her madness, even her obsessive love for the male lead were all lines of code written into her.
Shen Yanwan decided to rebel.
She spared the heroine in front of everyone and treated the male lead as if he didn't exist. Her father called in a psychiatrist that very night to examine her. The medical record read: “Severe delusional disorder with aggressive tendencies.”
Her attending physician, Lu Heng, was mild-mannered and refined, but his fingertips rubbed the electronic pattern along the edge of her file. “Miss Shen, all you need to do is believe that everything is just your imagination.”
But when he used a device to “treat” her, Shen Yanwan saw something terrifying:
Beneath his white coat flowed pale gray data, the same kind that made up the script in her mind.
Late that night, Lu Heng dismantled the surveillance equipment and slipped a silver key into her palm, his eyes blazing like a traitor's.
“Congratulations, awakened one. This world is a prison, and the ‘script’ is its jailer. Want to escape? Then join me... and blow this madhouse to pieces.”
