In the ICU, lonely and with no one to rely on, Puyang Minyue used the last of her strength to finish a period novel.
When she opened her eyes again, she had become a cannon-fodder supporting character with the same name in the book.
Luckily, she was no longer alone in this life.
Her parents doted on her, and her three older brothers treated her like a treasure. Her family truly cared for her.
But she knew how the original story ended: the original owner was hopelessly devoted to the male lead and constantly targeted the heroine. In the end, she died a miserable death and dragged her whole family down with her.
To protect her family and change their fate, Puyang Minyue sets her sights on Wen Jianyu, the villainous officer everyone in the book fears.
Everyone says he's cold and taciturn, with a troubled past, and too dangerous to get close to.
Only she knows that beneath his hard exterior lies a sincere and patient heart.
She approaches him and tests the waters, at first only hoping to escape the tragedy written in the original story.
But as they circle each other, their hearts slowly draw closer.
He keeps everyone at a distance, but saves all his affection for her, protecting and spoiling her.
With her modern perspective, Minyue helps her family start a business and build a fortune, steering clear of every disaster in the book.
In the lean years of the 1980s, she has a loving family and a partner who falls for her as much as she does for him.
1v1, older male lead, mutual flirting, and careers and romance developing side by side.
