[Fake good girl, truly unhinged beauty x tragic, handsome, gentle and long-suffering softie, transmigrate into a book, straightforward romance, sweet fluff]
Pei Yinjue, a university student in her ivory tower, accidentally transmigrates into a wuxia romance novel and falls in love at first sight with Chu Guiliang, the minor villain manipulated by the story's main antagonist.
How delicate and sorrowful the heart of this beautiful, fragile young man is.
She knows his coldness and pride. She knows that beneath his cold, proud exterior lies a despicable soul that seems to have grown accustomed to doing evil. And she knows that hidden beneath that ugliness and vileness is an intense sense of guilt and a deep-seated goodness.
He is a better person than the original story gave him credit for.
"Let me run away with you. Stop worrying about the schemes of those powerful nobles! Let's leave behind their cold authority and get far away from the court and the martial world. We'll love each other more than fame and fortune, and cherish happiness and freedom more than the pain of suspicion!"
The day after she confesses, the original story's main villain, Qu Xiong, kidnaps her. Taking advantage of his status as the emperor's brother-in-law and the power of his martial arts organization, he tortures and threatens her in prison, trying to pry the original story from her so he can eliminate its two leads ahead of time.
Pei Yinjue would rather die than tell him.
She pretends to join the organization and plays along with Qu Xiong while secretly contacting the original story's couple. She finally fakes her death and escapes Qu Xiong's grasp, only to discover that it's far from over.
Damn it, how did her romantic comedy turn into a life-and-death adventure on the run?
Villain Boss Qu Xiong: I treated you like a daughter and raised you as my successor. I even let you fool around with my useless adopted son. All I asked was for you to tell me the story in that book, but you repaid my kindness by betraying me. Little Pei, surely you brought this pursuit on yourself?
Righteous hero Zhou Shouxian: Don't listen to him. You're doing the right thing. The martial world isn't much fun, and there aren't many good people in our organization. Leaving with Guiliang is the right choice. By the way, Pei, have you practiced your martial arts today? Come on, your uncle will give you a lesson!
Original story heroine Duan Lingyun: Don't be afraid. If anyone bullies you, I'll beat them up for you!
Original story hero You Qingfeng: By the time your slow-as-molasses lightness skill gets you here, our Pei might have already rescued herself. Just watch me. We clever people have our own way of fighting.
Chu Guiliang: Miss Pei, just tell me. What can I do to help you?
○ Pei Yinjue x Chu Guiliang: two good-hearted youngsters, both are each other's first and only, mutual devotion, happy ending.
○ Secondary couple: the original leads. The proud, generous daughter of the female leader of the martial arts alliance, "Miss Duan," x the old scholar's adopted son, "Young Master You," who plays the pig to eat the tiger and cares little for fame or profit. A bickering couple.
Theme: Repay resentment with justice, and kindness with kindness.
