Renowned designer Jiang Ying wakes up inside a melodramatic novel as the vicious female supporting character. She is forced to bind herself to the Villain System and must push the original story’s hero and heroine together, or be erased.
To escape her gruesome ending, she decisively abandons the original character’s devoted-puppy persona and clings instead to her nominal husband, Wei Ting, the crown prince of Beijing’s elite circle. At a banquet, she trades her bold, glamorous look for a radiant new image that leaves everyone stunned, and acts as if her archenemies, the hero and heroine, don’t exist.
Wei Ting grips her chin and studies her. “Weren’t you willing to die for the male lead before?”
She chuckles in his ear. “I was stupid back then. Now, I just want to cling to the biggest, strongest backer.”
She helps him plot against his family in their power struggle, while he tears apart the constraints of the plot for her. As the System shrieks its warnings, Wei Ting has already severed the data chain controlling her and shielded her behind him.
“Don’t be afraid. I’m here.”
