Xia Nanxu wakes up to find herself in a redemption novel as the heroine's wicked stepsister.
In the original story, she envies the sickly heroine, who is doted on by everyone. Taking advantage of the heroine's need for her rare panda blood, she manipulates her at every turn, constantly humiliating her and psychologically tormenting her until the bright, cheerful heroine is driven into severe depression.
In the end, one of the heroine's admirers takes revenge on her, abducting her to northern Myanmar, where she dies a miserable death.
Now healthy again, she wants to avoid that tragic ending. She changes her ways, carefully currying favor with the heroine and doing everything she can to change the plot.
But she soon realizes that reality is nothing like the original story. Trying to escape with her life, she ends up crossing paths with the villain.
With nowhere else to turn, she forms an alliance with him.
Since everyone already despises them as villains, they might as well make a perfect team.
With the villain indulging her, she becomes bold and carefree once more.
Once every crisis has passed, all she wants is to slip away in time.
But as she turns, she suddenly crashes into a man's arms. His low voice is tender yet dangerous:
“Why are you running? My little fox, don't you need a tiger to protect you anymore?”
