Jiang Yaoyao died suddenly while staying up late reading a novel. He traveled through the book to a plot point where he had just failed to assassinate the villain Pei Heng and was about to be made into a human skin lantern. In order to survive, she begged Pei Heng for mercy to no avail, and simply cursed. Unexpectedly, Pei Heng was "awakened by the scolding" and began to pursue her overtly and covertly. The two unexpectedly became roommates. As Pei Heng stepped forward to protect her many times, and even got hurt for her, Jiang Yaoyao gradually discovered that he was not born cold-blooded, but was destined by fate. In daily interactions, she was quietly moved, and her dislike for this "scornful" villain turned from disgust to understanding and love.
