Gu Yan transmigrated into a CEO romance full of angst. Her role: the substitute. Her ending: killed in a car crash to make way for the beloved woman.
According to the script, she should be throwing herself at the male lead to be emotionally abused, getting dragged by his female rival all over the internet, and having everyone step on her face and tell her, “You’re not good enough.” But the System she was bound to gave her just one prompt:
“Every enemy is predicting your next move based on the original plot. If you stop following the script, they’ll all be left blind.”
What did that mean?
The beloved woman was waiting for her to kneel and beg forgiveness. She didn't. Instead, she signed a commercial wager agreement. The male lead was waiting for her to come home crying and beg to get back together. She didn't. She announced Yan Gui Tech at a press conference instead. The whole internet was waiting to see the substitute fall, but she didn't. The first thing to shatter was the script in their hands.
Everyone wanted to ask: if she isn't following the script, what will she do next? No one could guess. She didn't know either. All she knew was that whatever they expected her to do, she should do the opposite.
And on the most dangerous night of her life, President Xie, who had loved her in secret for eight years and never spoken up in front of others, sent everyone a message:
“Anyone who dares touch her won't even get to be a substitute.”
What he didn't know was that Gu Yan had never planned to be anyone's substitute in the first place.
