Gu Qinghe transmigrates into a melodramatic angst novel as the substitute heroine, destined to be physically and emotionally abused by the male lead.
From the start, she jumps off a building, ends up bedridden, gets sold off by her scumbag father for his own gain, and is handed a contract of servitude by the domineering male lead.
To make matters worse, she has to endure every angsty trope imaginable: substitute romance, contract marriage, family trauma, physical abuse, emotional humiliation, and betrayal by everyone around her.
The audience's comments flood the screen: [Run, streamer! You don't want to be this heroine!]
Gu Qinghe is so furious she almost laughs. Fine, I'll change the plot. Dear viewers, send those gifts! Today, I'll tear my scumbag father to shreds on stream. Tomorrow, we'll crowdfund to get the violent male lead on the front page of the news!
Later, Lu Tingchen spends a fortune to find her beneath a sky full of fireworks. His eyes are bloodshot as he says, "Qinghe, I was wrong. Give me one more chance."
Gu Qinghe nods. In front of thousands of viewers in her livestream, she looks up and smiles at him.
Her smile shines even brighter than the fireworks, but her words make his heart turn cold.
She says, "Mr. Lu, you're no longer the male lead in my story."
