Xu Zhimian opens her eyes to find herself inside a badly concluded contemporary romance novel, as the disposable supporting female character who uses fake photos to deceive a tycoon heir in an online romance.

To make matters worse, the original owner not only swindled money, but also left her chat logs, screenshots of money transfers, and a whole mess to clean up. The creditor, Yan Cichuan, has already followed the clues to her door. On the surface, he has come to settle accounts, but in truth, he seems intent on examining her from head to toe all over again.

To stay alive, Xu Zhimian has no choice but to act sweet and well-behaved in the dorm, take odd jobs around campus, and pick up temporary work in livestreams, all while frantically plugging the holes, deleting her sordid history, learning what to say, and dodging debt collectors.

But the harder she tries to keep a low profile, the more she seems destined for the trending topics: her roommates suspect she is trying to seduce someone, the campus forum spreads rumors that she is dating two people at once, the platform thinks she has viral potential, and the wealthy family’s PR team keeps an eye on her. Even Yan Cichuan, who was supposed to send her into a pit of social humiliation, has begun to doubt whether she is really the same person as before. All she wants is to stay alive first, pay off the debt, and graduate without a hitch.

But as misunderstandings pile up and the campus, wealthy families, livestreams, and public opinion across the internet all push her into the spotlight, she realizes that this online romance gone wrong may not have been a simple scam from the start. It may have been a setup, a reckoning deliberately staged by someone using her as a front.

And the most dangerous person of all is drawing closer step by step, his gaze as cold as if he is waiting for her to admit it herself: what other secrets is she still hiding?
