(Transmigrate into a book + subverting the usual tropes + reborn + true and false heiresses + a groveling, second-chance romance)
Clear-headed, resilient heroine Jiang Ning VS cold-faced officer Pei Yan
In her previous life, Jiang Ning only learned after she died that she was the true heiress in a transmigration novel about a true and false heiress, and a disposable stepping stone for the heroine, who had a “beloved-by-all System.”
The original novel's heroine was Lin Zhiyi, the fake heiress whose life had been switched with Jiang Ning's.
Lin Zhiyi could somehow read the plot in advance. With the System's help, she knew exactly how to flatter and use everyone, stealing Jiang Ning's parents, her life, and everything else.
In her previous life, Lin Zhiyi left Jiang Ning's family destroyed and Jiang Ning herself frozen to death in a dilapidated kiln.
Reborn in 1977, Jiang Ning hears that Lin Zhiyi has tricked her into breaking off her engagement and causing a scene with the whole family. Jiang Ning smiles, then turns and clings to the leg of the cold-faced officer who is the most fearsome man in the entire compound.
“Commander Pei, I've changed my mind. I'm not breaking off the engagement. Let's go register our marriage right now.”
An electric crackle only Jiang Ning can hear sounds in the air:
[System warning: Plot deviation 5%... 10%... 30%!]
[Plot preview unavailable! Beloved-by-all halo disabled!]
Jiang Ning not only refuses to follow the plot, she gets Pei Yan to “go crazy” right alongside her. While others head to the countryside, she takes the college entrance exam. While others compete for favor, she pursues scientific research.
Whenever Lin Zhiyi tries to use the System to frame her, Jiang Ning turns the tables with a single move and makes the System crash.
Until one day, Lin Zhiyi discovers in despair that the man who was supposed to hate Jiang Ning is pinning her against a wall, eyes red, his voice hoarse and trembling.
“Ningning, don't ignore me. I'll give you my life.”
