Jiang You transmigrated into a book as a vicious supporting character doomed to a miserable fate, and was forced into a business marriage with Huo Shiyuan, the trillionaire tycoon.
To get kicked out as soon as possible and collect an astronomical divorce settlement, Jiang You decides to let loose and go all in on acting completely unhinged.
Her mother-in-law tries to give her a hard time with a check? Jiang You collapses to the floor, crawls around in a gloomy fashion, grabs her mother-in-law's leg, and wails, “Mom, I'm your long-lost wild monkey!” Her mother-in-law faints. When she wakes, she goes around praising her daughter-in-law as someone who loves with all her heart and doesn't care about money.
A scheming flirt shows up to provoke her? Jiang You fires back with a military-style fist routine and a cheesy pickup line: “Woman, you've successfully caught my attention.” The flirt blushes, covers her face, and flees overnight, dragging a whole train behind her.
Huo Shiyuan warns her coldly, “This is only a marriage of convenience. Don't get any ideas about me.”
Jiang You clutches a handful of raw scallions and munches on them in despair. “What do you know! I just love you too much. I'm going insane with love! If I don't act crazy, I'll die!”
Huo Shiyuan's eyes widen in shock... So she's using her craziness to hide her deep feelings. She really is madly in love with me!
And so, as Jiang You keeps “reliably losing it” day after day, everyone around her gets carried away with their own theories, imagining a tragic love story about how “she bears humiliation for love, hiding her sorrow behind her ridiculous antics.”
When the marriage agreement finally expires, Jiang You happily packs her bags, ready to take the money and run.
But the trillionaire tycoon, so far above everyone else, pins her against the wall, his eyes bloodshot. “You can have the money. You can have my life. But don't you dare leave me!”
