Chi Shuang wakes up to discover that she has transmigrated into the male-oriented leveling novel she was reading before bed.
The male lead, Pei Shiheng, is a textbook overpowered hero. Wherever he goes, NPCs randomly appear to mock him, and then he launches into his face-slapping routine.
Thus begins an endless cycle of mockery, face-slapping, leveling up, mockery, and face-slapping, until the male lead ends up with a bevy of beautiful women.
She, meanwhile, is the long-suffering, doomed white moonlight of the novel.
She and the overpowered male lead have been engaged since childhood. Like the male leads in many male-oriented novels, Pei Shiheng was exceptionally talented as a child, but for some reason, he became a good-for-nothing overnight.
Unlike other female characters in male-oriented novels who break off engagements, she neither mocks him viciously nor calls off the engagement in public.
Naturally, the overpowered male lead never gets the chance to deliver the classic line, "My fate is mine to decide, not Heaven's."
When people mock him, she helps him. When he is mistreated, she brings him comfort. Then, one day, after tirelessly looking after him, she is killed by one of his enemies.
After her death, the overpowered male lead is devastated and begins searching for a way to bring her back to life. Along the way, he encounters one woman after another who becomes part of his own harem. In the end, he forgets about her, his white moonlight, and lives happily ever after.
When Chi Shuang transmigrates into the story, she is right at the point where she is about to be killed. What a joke. She has only just arrived, and now she is supposed to die? No way.
After narrowly escaping death, Chi Shuang decides to toy with the overpowered hero's feelings first, then dump him and go enjoy a happy life surrounded by handsome men.
What a laugh. He fell in love with someone else while trying to bring her back to life. If she doesn't toy with his feelings, how could she do justice to the body she has transmigrated into?
After Chi Shuang has finished toying with the hero's feelings, she breaks off their engagement, only to discover that the male lead, who had been a loyal puppy just moments ago, has suddenly become someone else entirely.
Pei Shiheng walks toward her with a dark look in his eyes and a faint smile at the corner of his lips. He looks dangerous in every way. "A Shuang, are you planning to abandon me and find someone new? Is it because I can't win your heart?"
Pei Shiheng steps closer to Chi Shuang, presses his lips to her ear, and toys with her hair as his voice turns beguiling.
"A Shuang, tell me you were just playing around when you said that, hmm?"
Chi Shuang freezes on the spot, not daring to move. Can someone tell her what is going on with the male lead!? Wasn't he supposed to accept the broken engagement right away and go looking for his harem!?
What does this version of him mean? Did she break him by toying with him...?
