Shen Yanzhen unexpectedly transmigrated into a book, becoming its heroine: the girl who caused her mother's death at birth, was disliked by her father, and ultimately sacrificed her life for love. To escape this wretched fate, she went out of her way to avoid the male lead. Meanwhile, the oblivious supporting female character was drawn to him without even realizing it, drinking poison to quench her thirst and flying straight into the flames without hesitation.
The book's many iconic scenes between the heroine and the male lead became iconic scenes between the supporting female character and the male lead instead. Shen Yanzhen had distanced herself from him early on, and by a strange twist of fate, even found herself a fiance.
Just as the two of them seemed about to reach their happy ending, her fiance was sent to the southern border to quell a rebellion on the eve of their wedding. He left and never returned. So she chose to spend her days tending his memorial tablet rather than cut off her hair and become a nun, intending to live out her life alone. But one day, while visiting the palace, she happened to see the Crown Prince. She glanced up and thought, Huh? Isn't that her husband, who died young?
