Qiao Ran opened her eyes and found herself transmigrated into the role of Qiao Wanyang, the vicious cannon-fodder young madam she had played.
In the script, Qiao Wanyang was doomed from the moment she appeared. She had no more than five scenes, and her ending didn't even get a proper shot. It was hastily explained in a few lines of narration: because she had done evil and repeatedly targeted the male lead's childhood sweetheart, he imprisoned her for life, until she died. Unable to accept this, Qiao Wanyang hanged herself.
There was nothing she could do about the tragic ending. The screenwriter needed to portray her as a vicious cannon-fodder character, and as an actress, she understood. When playing Qiao Wanyang, she had acted as wickedly as possible, all to give the audience a satisfying show.
But now the fate of this vicious cannon-fodder had become her real life. Worse, she had only accepted this wretched existence when the progress bar was almost at its end. What could she do?
She could only save herself. But she soon realized that changing her fate by refusing to follow the script wasn't as simple as she had imagined. It wasn't just a matter of surviving and living a good life...
Somehow, she gradually won the male lead's heart. She didn't particularly want it, but in the face of the greater good of her country, he was both a support she couldn't push away and a cage she couldn't escape. She had never cared for him, yet he was determined to force his way into her heart.
