Only after Gu Yunchu died did she learn that she had been the original heroine of a novel, but a woman who had transmigrated into a book, armed with a protagonist's halo and knowledge of the plot, had stolen her life.
The transmigrator was her parents' adopted daughter, cherished by her mother like a precious jewel. She stole the opportunities that should have been Gu Yunchu's, became the male lead's beloved, and ultimately became empress, enjoying a life of glory and happiness.
As for Gu Yunchu, she became the vicious supporting character whose purpose was to make the transmigrator seem sweet and kind. Her birth mother hated her, the transmigrator's admirers sought revenge on her, and she was manipulated into marrying the novel's greatest villain, the crown prince.
The crown prince was cruel and ruthless, yet uniquely gentle and indulgent toward her. She soon fell for him. Later, she discovered that he had married her for another purpose, and to protect the woman he truly loved.
Reborn, she swore to keep well away from all of them. If she couldn't afford to offend them, she could at least avoid them.
But at some point, her villainous husband from her previous life started hanging around her constantly, solemnly promising to make her empress.
Gu Yunchu hurriedly made her position clear: she couldn't accept the throne. All she wanted was to stay alive.

Xie Lishu was the legitimate son of the late empress. He had never been cherished as a child and was constantly targeted by others.
After narrowly escaping death, he met a young girl. She smiled sweetly at him and called him "Young Master." From then on, she became the only ray of light in his dark life, and he could never get her out of his heart.
He vowed to reclaim what belonged to him and personally place everything finest in the world before her.

1. The male lead loves only the female lead, from beginning to end.
2. The male lead is obsessive and possessive, and is definitely no good person.
3. This is a story set in a fictional world, with face-slapping and feel-good wish fulfillment. Don't scrutinize the details too much.
