At twenty-five, Su Qingyuan, an inheritor of Suzhou embroidery, transmigrates into a book and becomes the spoiled, doomed side character in The Heartthrob’s Darling, a girl who won’t survive seven days. Her aunt and uncle covet her inheritance, the male lead Lu Shiyan finds her annoying, and the will of the world is driving her to her death. At her most desperate moment, two Systems come online: the plot-breaking System warns her of danger, while the intangible cultural heritage System unlocks master-level embroidery skills. Her adorably spoiled act instantly gives way to the aura of a true powerhouse, making for a stunning contrast.
When the male lead tells her to “get out of my house,” she bluntly replies, “Grandma arranged this place for me. If anyone’s leaving, it’s you.” When Lin Weiwei swaps out her homework, Su Qingyuan produces her working notes on the spot and exposes her. When her aunt and uncle show up at school demanding money, she brandishes a voice recorder and dares them to try her. Then, boosted by the System, she turns her academics around, placing in the top ten across all subjects on her monthly exams. She stuns everyone and makes all her mockers eat their words, leaving them completely dumbfounded.
From then on, she stops chasing the male lead and focuses on her career. She creates Suzhou embroidery merchandise for her campus, competes in intangible cultural heritage contests, opens a chain of embroidery studios, and helps impoverished women learn traditional crafts so they can earn a living. She intended to rewrite her fate on her own, but the aloof campus heartthrob has already fallen for her. He’s bad with words and doesn’t know how to comfort her, so he quietly brings her embroidery supplies and shields her from danger. He’s afraid of the dark, yet still dares to protect her late at night. In the end, she’ll take Suzhou embroidery to the world and become a shining light for its legacy. Along the way, she’ll win the heart of a devoted husband who dotes on her. Her career and love life both find their happy endings, and the original plot? She’s already changed it beyond recognition.
