A 28-year-old screenwriter of political dramas dies suddenly and opens her eyes in the body of a disposable character from her own script, one who was supposed to die within five episodes!
And not just any character: she’s now Xie Linzhou, the arrogant, silly fourth son of the Prime Minister, whose whole family dies horribly and who ends up beaten to death with clubs!
A woman’s soul trapped in a man’s body, with the script in hand, she’s completely dumbfounded:
I’m the one who wrote this character’s death!
To stay alive, she immediately launches into a hilarious plan to rewrite her fate:
The original owner was bent on self-destruction? She instantly becomes an obedient, meek little darling!
Her elder brother plans a rebellion? She spends every day sabotaging him and talking him out of it!
The original heroine is love-struck? She turns her into a career-minded female general!
And best of all, she secretly invests in future power players by using her knowledge of the plot:
No taking credit, no fawning, no picking sides, just quietly building up goodwill!
The original male lead, a cool and aloof minister with immense power: Something’s off about this person. I’d better protect him.
The original villain, her elder brother: Whoever lays a hand on my younger brother will have to step over my dead body.
The original heroine, a valiant general’s daughter: Xie Linzhou is the real big shot.
While everyone else works themselves to the bone fighting for the realm, she takes it easy and coasts to victory.
A perfectly good political drama has been turned by her into a hilarious comedy starring an entire cast of lovable fools!
From a short-lived disposable character, she survives her way to becoming the behind-the-scenes boss who holds the court in her hands!
Xie Linzhou:
The script? Tore it up.
I decide what happens to my life.
