By an unexpected twist, Xie Lingzhen transmigrates into a sweet romance novel as a character with the same name, becoming the cannon-fodder female supporting character whose role is to set off the love between the male and female leads, before meeting a "glorious death" once their romance is complete.
Xie Lingzhen can't help feeling rather helpless. Other people who transmigrate into a book become the protagonist or the villainess, while she gets stuck as cannon fodder. Still, since she's here, she may as well make the best of it. The fact that she successfully transmigrated into a book proves that hidden quests exist in this world. This time, she'll put all her novel-reading experience to use and rewrite the fate of this cannon-fodder female supporting character. But why did no one tell her that her fiance was so "different on the inside from the outside"?
"Miss Cui, forgive my rudeness just now."
"My dear, forgive your husband for being rude."
On the surface, Cui Jizhi is a scion of a distinguished family and the youngest Third Place Scholar in the imperial examinations. But he has long lived in a dark room, shut away from the light of day. Then one beam of light took pity on him and cherished him, letting him see spring.
A boat sailing through the dark night will eventually reach shore; a winter branch will see spring after enduring the cold.
