Blurb
Many years ago, Man Yao transmigrated into a novel.
She got a nonconformist, dyed-blond older brother. She put up with it.
She was forced to become a sickly girl who got winded after walking a few steps. She put up with it.
She ran into all kinds of absurd, melodramatic plot twists. She put up with those too.
After all, she was just a passerby.
She planned to quietly keep her head down until the male and female leads got their happy ending, then go home once the story was over.
But she waited and waited. At long last, the ending came...
And she still couldn't go home.
Her favorite character, her brother's gentle, considerate friend Yu Feng, a man with such a good temper he hardly seemed normal, died first.
To make sure her favorite lived to a ripe old age, Man Yao worked tirelessly, scheming at every turn, determined to arrange every detail of Yu Feng's life for decades to come.
When Yu Feng planned to be the third wheel at a party for the male and female leads, she turned around and said she was going to a hotel with a senior she'd met the day before.
When Yu Feng was going on a business trip to clean up another mess for the leads, she climbed into a kidnapper's car by the roadside and cooperatively let them put a hood over her head.
Kidnapper: "?"
Man Yao urged him on. "What are you waiting for? Call him. Tell him I'm in your hands, and if he doesn't get here in ten minutes, you'll kill me."
Later, she finally got her wish.
Yu Feng survived, and the ending that had originally been written for him changed completely.
Satisfied, Man Yao prepared to make a run for it.
What she hadn't expected was that the person she'd gone to so much trouble to save didn't seem willing to let her go.
After failing to escape for the Nth time, Man Yao's friend urged her to check her coat pocket. She found one, two, three tracking devices.
There was no way Yu Feng had put them there. Her favorite was such a good person.
He must have made sure she was safe in case she ever got lost.
Man Yao destroyed the culprit on the spot and formally began escape attempt N+1 under cover of night.
She'd slipped him sleeping pills and left a farewell note.
Everything was in her favor.
Man Yao waved a hand and decided to hit the bar first to celebrate her new life.
But before her life of freedom had even begun for two minutes, Yu Feng, who should have been sleeping in bed until morning, appeared in front of her.
The man's expression was cool and detached, his gaze fixed on the hand she'd placed on the abs of the male model beside her.
Realizing there might be a fourth tracking device on her, Man Yao guiltily pulled her hand back.
Yu Feng lifted his eyes and asked nonchalantly, "Why did you stop?"
"Your big brother never said you couldn't touch him."
"Look up at the moon, then believe that someone will cross the long night to come to your side."
[Reading Notes and Content Warnings]
1. A healing romance with a four-year age gap.
2. The male lead is a rival suitor for the female lead in the original melodramatic romance. In the original story, he had feelings for the original female lead. This is part of the premise and unavoidable, at least from the female lead's perspective. Once this story begins, the romance is between the male and female leads only. One-on-one, both are each other's one and only. Please skip this if it bothers you.
3. Neither lead is in a particularly healthy state of mind.
Theme: Life is precious.
