Fashion designer Wen Ruan dies suddenly after working overtime and wakes up as the vicious supporting female character in a novel, one who obsessively chases after the male lead and ultimately ends up homeless and dead!
From the start, she finds herself in the novel's iconic scene: the original owner ordering Gu Yanci, the most dangerous and unhinged tycoon in Yuncheng, to stretch her legs.
Wen Ruan is so terrified she nearly loses her soul. Romance? That could cost her life! Building a career and staying alive come first!
To avoid the terrifying “plot-driven death” awaiting her in the original novel, Wen Ruan kicks her scumbag fiancé to the curb, grabs the “Mutually Beneficial Contract Marriage Proposal” she stayed up all night writing, and heads straight for the office of the unhinged tycoon Gu Yanci!
“Mr. Gu, invest in me, and you’ll get a fully upgraded Mrs. Gu who never clings to you and comes with a built-in screen-time limiter!”
She thought this would be a fake marriage between two people getting what they wanted. Who could have guessed that this icy, ruthless King of Hell in public, an all-powerful business tycoon with a fierce need for control, would not only sign without hesitation, but secretly make it a real marriage, entrusting her with his will and even all his final affairs!
While the socialites of Yuncheng wait to see her make a fool of herself and the scheming white moonlight and villains try to trip her up, Wen Ruan wins international awards for her designs with one hand and drives the bloodsuckers of the Wen family to the brink of an existential crisis with the other.
Meanwhile, the supposedly cold-blooded Gu, the man at the top of the business world, waits outside her study every night, ears red as he murmurs, “Mrs. Gu, when will you finally give me the title for real?”
A carefully laid trap, woven across two lifetimes, all to wait for one little fox to walk right into it.
