When Li Shuyu turned eighteen, she awakened to the fact that she was a cannon-fodder character in a master-and-servant romance novel. In the original story, the heroine had been raised from childhood to believe in the master-servant hierarchy and was devoted to the male lead. After going to university and encountering the outside world, she became deeply distressed. The world was nothing like what she had been taught growing up: she was free and equal. As she sought freedom of self, she embarked on a torturous romance with the male lead. Li Shuyu's biological older brother was the villain and second male lead standing between them. Because he opposed the male lead, her brother was poisoned and croaked; her older sister died in a car accident; her second brother went off a cliff while racing cars and croaked; her father died of a cerebral hemorrhage, and her mother jumped off a building and croaked. Even her poor adopted sister was sent to northern Myanmar and croaked. Her aunt and uncle even croaked...
Li Shuyu was speechless... Fine, even her own death was undignified. She got drunk late at night, fell into a cesspit, and croaked too.
Li Shuyu was so done with it. Seriously, couldn't she have died some other way?
Along with her awakening, her inner thoughts somehow became audible to her family... Let's see if she can save them all from the fate of becoming little ducks that quack themselves to death.
