[A reborn, cautious beauty who cherishes her life vs. a sensitive, clingy young master | She is terrified of him, he is hopelessly in love with her | Changing fate and breaking the deadlock | Mutual healing]
The moment Yu Wan died a gruesome death in a telecom-fraud compound, she learned that she was nothing more than a wicked maid in a book.
Her sole purpose was to serve as a stepping stone for the hero and heroine's romance.
In the original story, she took Shen Yu, a down-and-out young master from a wealthy family, home. She thought that if she took good care of the disabled heir, she could get something out of it and maybe even change her fate.
But the disabled young master was merely an adopted son cast aside by the Shen family, and he had nothing left.
When Yu Wan's plans fell through, she immediately turned on him and forced the young master to work for her.
Later, tired of making money too slowly, she sold Shen Yu to a telecom-fraud compound.
But in his darkest hour, the heroine of the original story rescued Shen Yu, and he unexpectedly discovered his astonishing identity: he was the heir to Jiangcheng's most powerful family!
The heroine of the original story avenged the hero by throwing Yu Wan into hell as well, where she met a miserable end.
As she lay dying, Yu Wan wept and said, "Next time, could you at least let me be a good person?"
When she opened her eyes again, she had truly returned to the cheap rental apartment where she and Shen Yu had once lived together.
Reborn, Yu Wan finally saw the light and stopped doing evil.
She carefully looked after his meals and daily needs, worked tirelessly to support them, and quietly helped heal the young master's sensitivity and insecurities.
She planned to stay by his side through the hard times. Once the heroine of the original story came to take him away, Yu Wan would be free to leave, having done her job.
Just when she thought she had completed her mission and could make a clean getaway, the young master stopped her.
He held her captive in his arms, his voice hoarse:
"You took me home because you wanted to defy fate, didn't you? Your chance is right in front of you now, so why run?"
