A modern corporate drone transmigrates into an ancient-style angst novel as a cannon-fodder character. The original owner was hopelessly in love with a scumbag and kept provoking the heroine, ending up in a tragic state. Lin Zhiyi stays clearheaded and focuses on survival, decisively dumping the male lead from the original story. With her modern know-how, she opens a cosmetics shop and a textile business, making money as if she had cheat codes. She planned to quietly get rich, but unexpectedly catches the eye of Xie Jingchen, the original story’s villain, who wields immense power at court. He goes from protecting her in secret to openly favoring her. She face-slaps the fake-sweet heroine, tears up a disastrous engagement, turns from cannon fodder into a wealthy merchant, and even wins the villainous big shot’s heart!
