After awakening, Su Qingwan finally sees the truth: she is merely the villainess in a tragic romance novel.
Her role is to lose so that the original heroine, Lin Qingwu, can shine as a paragon of goodness. Her ending is disgrace and a gruesome death in the wilderness.
She gives a quiet laugh and tears apart the fate laid out for her.
The world sees only the aloof, frail, sickly daughter cast out by the Su family. No one knows what kind of obsessive, frenzied soul lies beneath that delicate beauty.
She can see the threads of cause and effect that shape destiny. Every thread she severs or alters costs her a piece of her soul.
