Chi Mian, a famous pampered beauty in the entertainment industry, accidentally transmigrates into an old-fashioned, melodramatic novel written by her younger cousin. She becomes a doomed cannon-fodder character who shares her name.
She arrives just as the original Chi Mian has sent out three love letters...
Yes, three.
Her cousin has started three novels on Green River, Dianjia, and Tang City. Each has a different male lead, while Chi Mian is the one and only designated female cannon fodder in all three. Not only is she promiscuous, she's also vicious and unhinged, making the male leads hate her so much they avoid her at all costs.
Chi Mian's eyes fill with pitiful tears. What, what am I supposed to do...
To keep the world of the book from collapsing and making her disappear, Chi Mian has no choice but to keep following the three men around, playing her supporting role with her horrendous acting.
She writes a love letter to Shen Yanbai, the Green River novel's male lead. She comes up with the opening herself after much agonizing, but gets lazy and copies the rest from her textbook, figuring he won't read it anyway. As it turns out, someone posts the letter on the school's bulletin board, and Shen Yanbai catches her cutting corners.
Shen Yanbai laughs in anger. "This is what you call being deeply in love with me?"
She cooks for Gu Xingyi, the Dianjia novel's male lead. She shoves some burnt rice and a few blackened dishes into a lunchbox to get it over with, figuring he won't open it anyway. But someone deliberately knocks the lunchbox over, exposing her appallingly bad cooking.
Gu Xingyi narrows his eyes dangerously. "Are you sure you weren't trying to poison me?"
She picks out a gift for Lin Han, the Tang City novel's male lead. After looking at everything, she chooses a pink bunny scarf that she likes herself, figuring it'll be returned anyway, so she can wear it. But someone opens the gift box, and the fluffy pink scarf falls out.
A vein throbs at Lin Han's temple. "This is the gift you said you picked based on my tastes?"
Oh no, this is so embarrassing!
Chi Mian only wants to keep the three big shots' affection levels hovering around a passing grade and avoid her tragic, inevitable death.
But it seems she has raised their affection levels a little too high...
Shen Yanbai, Gu Xingyi, and Lin Han exchange a glance, their expressions dark and tense. Then they turn around and demand in unison, "Chi Mian, who are they? Am I not the one you love most? You have to choose one of us today!"
The tension is unbearable. Chi Mian bites her pale lip, on the verge of tears. She's only a supporting character! Can someone tell her how she's supposed to handle this love triangle?
