[Love grows over time / early chapters feature life in a poor-district rental / later chapters bring a tangled romance between two powerhouses in the free-citizen district, after he loses his memory and falls for her all over again]
[A versatile, hot-tempered, slightly unhinged heroine who refuses to give up × an arms-dealer tycoon who is always at her mercy]
Yu Canyue transmigrates into a fictional novel set in an alternate world, a tragic story where she is forced to follow the heroine’s plotline.
But on the very day she transmigrates into the book, she gets bound to two Systems?
One is a plot-correction System, and the other is a county-town self-reliance System.
The transmigration System tells her to treat the male lead’s injuries. She does, but don’t ask how.
Before his injuries have healed, she finds him work. Once he’s better, she gives him even more work.
At some point, the murderous look in Pei Siyan’s eyes begins to fade, replaced by something inexplicable.
Once she completes the transmigration System’s task, she takes on the county-town System’s:
Find work and make a living, save money, take the college entrance exam, start a business.
Little by little, she becomes inseparable from this world and sees the enormous class divide between the poor district and the free-citizen district.
Pei Siyan and Yu Canyue, Week One: She really deserves to die.
Pei Siyan and Yu Canyue, Week Two: She’s just an obnoxious teenager who’s about to take the college entrance exam!
Pei Siyan and Yu Canyue, Week Three: She killed someone?
Pei Siyan’s understanding of Yu Canyue keeps changing. Every new side of her makes his heart skip another beat, and he falls deeper without even realizing it.
He’s selfish, cold-blooded, and ruthless; she’s passionate and fearless. Their personalities aren’t exactly complementary.
But he thinks they’re made for each other.
What Pei Siyan’s “win her back at all costs” arc looks like:
Before losing his memory: I think I’ve fallen in love with you.
After losing his memory: My instincts tell me to stay away from you, but I can’t bring myself to do it.
After regaining his memory: Can you please not give up on me? (A big puppy begging for love.)
Age gap: By mental age, she’s three years older than him; by physical age, he’s seven years older than her.
