After staying up all night mocking a melodramatic Beast World Mary Sue novel, Lin Wan wakes up and transmigrates into a book, becoming a nameless female character doomed to a miserable end.
According to the original story, she’ll be ostracized and sacrificed, serving as a stepping stone for the heroine.
Fine. Since a worker’s already here, she might as well make the best of it.
She starts by making salt, weaving baskets, improving farm tools, and building up medical care. First things first: she’ll make life in the wilderness prosperous.
But the wild continent hides countless scars.
The short-tempered tiger beast Lei Gang bears the whole tribe’s scorn. Everyone says he’s a vile man, but he was only the victim of a carefully plotted frame-up.
The aloof leopard clan chief Cang Lan wields absolute authority over his tribe and commands respect from all, yet deep in his heart lies a painful past from his years as a wandering boy, one he dares not reveal. He is filled with fear, worried she’ll despise him.
A silver wolf keeps watch over her at night. A deep-sea mermaid shatters a thousand years of prejudice for her, while fox-clan traders squat nearby, avidly enjoying the show.
Lin Wan: I can sympathize, but being moved doesn’t mean I’m in love.
Your pain deserves to be understood, but don’t expect me to force myself to give you my heart just because you’ve suffered.
Love can take its course. Building things comes first.
I can have a man, but I won’t let myself be wronged.
