Shen Zhiwei stayed up all night reading a domineering-CEO novel that tortured its female supporting character. When she opened her eyes, she had transmigrated into the book as the identically named cannon fodder.
Bound to a cannon-fodder conquest System, she’s forced to complete missions: please the obsessive, yandere male lead, Lu Chenyuan, and max out his affection to stay alive. Disobey, and she’ll be punished with excruciating electric shocks.
In the original story, the heroine’s counterpart humbled herself for love, willingly playing the foil to the pure-hearted female lead. She repeatedly took the blame and shielded the male lead from trouble, only to see her family go bankrupt, be imprisoned and tortured by Lu Chenyuan, and finally die after jumping from a building.
At a party, she bumps her forehead and, amid the pain, absorbs the entire plot. She finally awakens!
The System wants her to placate the male lead? She throws away every keepsake of their relationship in front of everyone and publicly declares that she’s cutting ties with him for good.
Lu Chenyuan mocks and humiliates her? She cuts off all contact and focuses on protecting her parents and using her foreknowledge to plan her business moves.
The yandere CEO, who once paid her no attention, loses his balance the moment he no longer has a follower who answers his every call.
He sends gifts, blocks her doorway, watches her around the clock, uses his financial power to crush her, and even forcibly abducts and imprisons her. He lowers himself to fawn over her, chasing after her like a madman.
Shen Zhiwei remains steadfast throughout, not softening for a moment.
Possessiveness born of sickness isn’t love. She will never turn back to redeem an obsessive madman.
The gentle, composed business magnate Fu Yanzhou stays by her side, respecting every boundary she sets and helping her take down the fake innocent and dismantle the Lu family’s schemes. [Read these content warnings first] The heroine stays clearheaded and never becomes lovesick. She will never forgive or reunite with the male lead. No frustrating female rivalry, and the face-slapping comes thick and fast.
