One day, An Ye transmigrates into a tragic heroine from an old-school angst novel. She is an obscure actress, and in the original story, the male lead first schemes to destroy her family, then forcibly marries her as an unrecognized concubine. After enduring a long stretch of physical and emotional abuse, she meets a desperate end by suicide. An Ye transmigrates at the very moment her parents are dead and she is about to be forcibly married. Wearing a vivid red wedding dress, she sits on the bed as the male lead gazes at her tenderly and says, "Since you have no family left, from now on, I will be your closest relative." An Ye: "...Don't come any closer!" To stay alive, she has no choice but to put her hopes in the novel's strongest fighter, the male lead's most capable bodyguard, Yu Yan. Yu Yan is cool and taciturn. No matter how An Ye tries to flirt with him, he remains unmoved. After thinking it over, An Ye decides she's been too gentle and needs to try something drastic. She picks a fight with the male lead, hoping to see which of them Yu Yan will choose. Then she sees the bodyguard, who is always composed in front of her, drenched in blood as he pierces his former master straight through, surrounded by layer upon layer of imperial guards. Covered in blood, he reaches out to her with one clean hand and says, "I'll take you away." Later, An Ye realizes that the little bodyguard she's been flirting with might be someone truly extraordinary Σ(?д?|||)??

Lu Zhennian was born in the twenty-first year of the Qingjun era and disappeared in the summer of the fortieth year. No one knew where he went, and later generations all believed he had died at the age of nineteen. Every history book that mentions him ends with the same words: "He died far too young. What a pity." He was the most celebrated painter of the Qingjun era, famous by the age of ten. His final painting before he disappeared, The Immortal in the Painting, was known to everyone. There was much debate in the art world over the identity of the smiling woman in The Immortal in the Painting. Some said she was the fairy of his dreams, others said she was his wife, and some even claimed she was his mother. But Gu Lingwan alone knew they were all wrong. The woman in the painting was herself. Lu Zhennian was never a genius. He was a complete and utter madman. 2. I Could Never Fall in Love with a Eunuch!
