Jiang Mingge transmigrated into a manga as a spoiled, obnoxious side character who was fated to die tragically.
The original owner was a fake heiress who had taken the place of her savior's daughter. She used a false debt of gratitude to force the down-on-his-luck male lead, Xie Tianhuai, into a relationship, then spoiled and exploited him in every way, eventually meeting a gruesome end.
To avoid her inevitable death, Jiang Mingge completely changed her ways and focused on keeping a low profile and staying alive.
When faced with the original owner's money-grubbing family and her fake best friend who did nothing but leech off her, she decisively turned the tables and demanded repayment, reclaiming every bit of money they'd squeezed out of her. She did her best to improve Xie Tianhuai's impoverished life, saved up the seed money he needed to turn things around, protected him in every way, and treated him with tenderness.
Her original intention was never to fall for him. She was only trying to survive. As long as she could win Xie Tianhuai over, then, once he reclaimed his wealthy family background, secured a bright future, and met his true love from the original story, she could gracefully make her exit and leave the tragic plot behind for good.
Xie Tianhuai, who had never been treated with kindness, fell completely under the spell of the one-of-a-kind affection she gave him and quietly fell in love.
But as Jiang Mingge grew more and more gentle and radiant, one admirer after another appeared around her.
Watching the girl everyone wanted, Xie Tianhuai, who had always been patient and restrained, completely panicked. He began clumsily and possessively fighting for her attention, no longer willing to give an inch.
Just as Jiang Mingge was planning a safe escape, a top-tier wealthy family came knocking to find their lost relative.
It turned out she was the sole heir to one of the country's most powerful families, lost to them years ago.
With the backing of her first-rate family, she no longer needed to keep her head down.
No one expected Xie Tianhuai, then at the height of his success, to willingly set aside all his pride and beg with red-rimmed eyes:
"Baby, give me a title and let me marry into your family, okay?"
