Transmigrating into a story of inner-household strife as the wicked supporting female character, Shen Zhiyi had planned to lie flat and wait for her exit. But then she was bound to the [Plot Maintenance System]: unless she completed the tired old plot of framing the heroine and fighting for affection, she would be erased on the spot.
So she was forced to embark on a career in acting:
Poison the heroine? Swap it out for vitamin pills.
Push the heroine into the water? Jump in first, with perfect swimming form.
Frame the heroine for an affair? While she was at it, help the guard write a resignation letter.
The heir, Xiao Jue, gradually realized that something was off about his “wicked” wife:
She confessed her love to him, then secretly kept accounts and calculated her dividends.
She “got jealous,” then sent business plans to his political enemies.
At last, he cornered her against the wall. “Who are you, really?”
She blinked. “An actor hoping to wrap up early. Want to add another scene, Your Highness?”
Only later did she understand that some roles become real the longer you play them, and that the more some people love, the more they want to defy fate and change their ending.
