When Xia Ningzhi turned thirty, she discovered a terrible thing - she had become the cannon fodder villain in the novel.
The new female director Lin Xiao is young and capable, and has been promoted all the way up, but she spreads rumors behind her back, makes things difficult, and watches with cold eyes. She knew clearly that she shouldn't do this, but every time at a critical moment, there was an invisible hand pushing her in that direction.
She tried to resist, but found that all the struggles were like plots written in a script. She wanted to resign, but couldn't hand in her resignation; she wanted to show her kindness, but her words turned into sarcasm; she wanted to escape, but found herself getting deeper and deeper into it.
What's even more frightening is that she finds that her love and friendship are also collapsing according to the script - her boyfriend cheats on her, her best friend betrays her, and everything she thought was indestructible is shattered into powder overnight.
She asked herself: If fate has already been decided, is there any point in resisting?
Someone told her: Yes.
Chen Xu, the newly hired intern, used a cup of coffee, a sticky note, and the words "Take your time" to help her see that there is light in the darkness. She began to understand that perhaps the real salvation was not to defeat fate, but to still choose to be oneself in the torrent of fate.
She couldn't stop those bad thoughts from arising, but she could choose not to let them turn into actions. She couldn't change what had happened, but she could choose where to go next.
This is a novel about awakening and resistance. When a person discovers that she is just a "cannon fodder villain" in the script of life, can she break free from the shackles of fate and regain control of her life?
Infinite possibilities are always within your own hands.
