(A vicious, haughty heiress × a gloomy, impoverished boy at first, who later becomes a domineering CEO. One-on-one romance, happy ending for both.)
Jiang Jiaran, the heiress to a financial dynasty in the capital, falls for a poor boy a year after her father dies. While chasing after him, she suddenly awakens to the truth.
She's a vicious supporting character in a book, and the poor boy she's pursuing, Jian Xi, is the male lead.
In the book, she chases Jian Xi relentlessly, using threats and temptation to make him date her, but hits a wall every time.
Jian Xi and the resilient, sweet heroine next door help each other and gradually fall in love.
Consumed by jealousy, Jiang schemes against the heroine shortly before her college entrance exams. But Jian Xi rises to power and takes his revenge, driving Jiang's family into bankruptcy. After her grandfather and mother die, she too dies in a foreign land.
Now that she's awakened, Jiang Jiaran curls her lips into a smile and still resolutely heads to that small town. Wearing a pretty dress, she smiles brilliantly at the gloomy-eyed boy. “Jian Xi, I'm moving in with you.”
Since she knows the story inside out, she can get to the male lead first, seize his opportunities, win over the heroine, and keep the Jiang family from falling, can't she?
But as Jiang Jiaran works on winning Jian Xi over, she starts to wonder why his gaze is becoming more and more intense.
…
Later, Jian Xi fights his way to the capital. There, he sees the beautiful, radiant Jiang Jiaran about to enter a business marriage.
He pins the pampered woman against the door. “Jiang Jiaran, you slept with me. You still think you can go after someone else?”
…
“It's precisely because I have the strength to overcome it that this trial has come my way.”
Jiang Jiaran, if everything I've endured was meant to bring me to you, then I'd gladly endure it all.
