Zhou Huanxi wakes up one morning to find that she has transmigrated.
In this bizarre world, everyone is a protagonist, and everyone has a protagonist's halo.
Except her.
But she has a System.
Unfortunately, the System isn't her personal golden finger. It's the strictest client imaginable, with nothing but a stick and no carrot.
The client wields the stick of life and death, ordering Zhou Huanxi to find these protagonists their defining traits, their highlights, and their character arcs, so they can become true protagonists.
Seriously, the film and television industry is in a slump. These lousy stories and lousy protagonists that never got adapted have piled up in this recycling center, and they're about to explode!
Zhou Huanxi wants to ask for help: What do I do when my client forces me to work around the clock? I don't even have a halo!
And these protagonists are just too bizarre: a handsome, sunny big shot with a split personality; a retired champion of palace intrigue; a cold-faced Demon Lord who rebelled against the Immortal Realm; the posthumous child of a wealthy clan, burdened with a sea of blood-deep grudges; an overbearing CEO who only asks questions and never answers them; a lovesick empress; a saintess who doesn't want to work...
These characters are as clichéd and one-dimensional as they come.
Zhou Huanxi: You're the hardest batch of protagonists I've ever had to handle!
She grits her teeth and frantically rewrites their characters, but gradually discovers that the truth about this world isn't what she thought.
Until one day.
The System says: Have you ever considered that you're a protagonist too?
Zhou Huanxi: That's not funny. Next joke.
The System says: There's a male lead who needs you to sacrifice yourself to save him.
Zhou Huanxi: Funny. I'm the protagonist, okay?! I'm going solo!
