[Transmigrate into a book + one-on-one romance + devoted to each other]
[Heroic, sunny heroine + male lead who seems sweet and gentle but is actually dangerously obsessive]
Lin Qiu had just finished her college entrance exams when she transmigrated into a campus romance novel as an NPC.
The good news: Lin Qiu was still a young heiress.
The bad news: she was now a lowly sophomore in high school!
Yet the Will of Heaven tasked her with saving the antagonist.
Xie Zilu was a supporting male character in the campus novel, but Lin Qiu couldn’t understand why, whenever people ignored, mocked, bullied, or threatened him, he would only smile and never defend himself.
Later, Lin Qiu realized that wasn’t the case.
Xie Zilu simply had no choice. Everything he cherished was in someone else’s hands.
He was still too weak to fight back, so all he could do was smile and appease them.
A girl suddenly barged into Xie Zilu’s walking-dead existence.
She was always stepping in front of him, hands on her hips, chin held high as she demanded of everyone, “Did any of you ask what Xie Zilu thinks? Who gave you the right to make decisions for him?”
She was always asking him, “Xie Zilu, do you agree?” “Xie Zilu, do you like it?” “Xie Zilu, wait for me!”
Little by little, as she tested the waters, she entered his dark world without even realizing it.
He kept up a false front with everyone else, but in front of her, his real feelings kept slipping out.
And then he lost himself in the web of affection she had spun around him.

But Xie Zilu couldn’t understand why, after he had changed, Lin Qiu was going to leave.
Xie Zilu fell to his knees, clutching her wrist, tears blurring his vision as he demanded,
“Lin Qiu, are you going to abandon me too?”
“Lin Qiu, please take me with you!”
“Qiuqiu, I really will die if you leave me!”
