Ruan Mu suddenly awakened to the truth: she was a cannon-fodder villainess in a book. After offending the universally adored heroine, she was set up in a car accident by the heroine’s lovesick follower, “Ruan Mu’s online-scam victim,” and died.
She didn’t want to die miserably in the street, so she decided to pay back the money and stay far away from everything connected to the heroine, especially Shang Jueyu, “the heroine’s unattainable first love,” whom she’d picked up and kept as her canary. She just wanted to stay alive.
She had picked him up by chance after overhearing that he had amnesia and might be a rich heir. He was also so handsome, with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs, that she’d gotten greedy and decided to play the long game.
She’d spent all five million she got from her online-scam victim on him, but hadn’t even gotten so much as a peep in return.
Now that she’d awakened, she decided to get that money back so she could repay the debt and run.
Before awakening, Ruan Mu was famous for her bad temper, laziness, and vanity. She loved playing “I have it and you don’t,” showing off Shang Jueyu wherever she went.
After awakening, she served her canary tea, fussed over him, and stopped forcing her love on him. She even skipped their regular weekend outings, when she used to drag him out to show off, all so she could save money and run away.
Shang Jueyu felt out of sorts. When Ruan Mu forced her rough love on him, he’d put on a cold, long-suffering face, but secretly logged every time in his time tree.
His usually awful “girlfriend” had suddenly become nice. Something was definitely up.
Baby likes money? He had money. He’d throw it at her!
Then one rainy night, he was jolted awake by thunder and saw Ruan Mu sneaking toward the door with a suitcase.
Shang Jueyu, whimpering: “Baby, it’s been so long since we... And you’ve got your suitcase. Are you leaving me?”
Ruan Mu, horrified: “Don’t come any closer!”
