After Zheng Yaoyao's father and stepmother finalized their divorce, they were both killed in a car accident, leaving her an orphan when she'd just been a child of a single parent.
By comparison, her "former" brother was luckier. He was taken in by his biological father, while she went to live with her uncle's family. Unfortunately, they were awful people. Before long, Zheng Yaoyao was forced to drop out of school and had her leg broken.
It wasn't until one night, after she was strangled to death while resisting her aunt's beastly younger brother as he tried to assault her, that she learned she was a minor cannon-fodder character in a novel.
Her fate in the original story was truly miserable. It wasn't enough that she was strangled to death; after she died, she was also forced into a ghost marriage.
Meanwhile, her "former" brother, Lin Jun, made it to the end. Although he was the original heroine's backup love interest, he eventually became best friends with the original novel's male lead. Together they succeeded in business and reached the pinnacle of life.
After returning to age sixteen, Zheng Yaoyao thought it over calmly. Believing that it's best to seek shelter beneath a big tree, she decided to cling to her "former" brother and never let go.
The night before the two of them were about to part, Zheng Yaoyao knocked on Lin Jun's door.
She looked up at the handsome, cool-faced young man in front of her and gently tugged at his clothes. In a clear, bright voice, she asked:
"Big brother, would you be willing to take a burden along with you?"
Theme: I want to reach the pinnacle of life!
