After transmigrating into a novel as the vicious supporting woman destined to be sentenced to death, Su Jinyao discovered something: she could see the scrolling comments.
The comments came from readers of the original novel. They spoiled her fate, mocked her for courting disaster, and occasionally offered her advice.
[Don't pour that tea! You'll be done for if you do!] [The villain is here, run! He dies suddenly at the end!]
So Su Jinyao decided to stop following the plot.
She called off her engagement, gave up trying, and refused to be anyone's pawn. But then the original story's plot-correction force began hunting her down, and the cold-blooded villain, the regent, happened to climb over her wall and show up at her door.
"You don't seem like Su Jinyao," he said.
"And you don't seem like the villain from the original novel," she replied.
Two people trying to escape their fate embark on a high-stakes gamble over free will in a world with scrolling comments.
Theme: Even within a predetermined plot, people can choose their own fate through free will.
