Gu Jiujiu transmigrates into a book, a tragic romance where the sweet and gentle heroine lets the male lead do whatever he wants to her without fighting back. He abuses her over and over, but she still treats him as her first love, and somehow the story even ends happily.
Gu Jiujiu is furious as she reads. What is this nonsense? How can this possibly have a happy ending? If she were that heroine, she'd make that shameless man pay. If she didn't torment him until he was sobbing, she wouldn't be Gu Jiujiu!
After transmigrating into the book, she vows to make the scumbag weep for her, love her so much he'd gladly work like an ox or a horse for her, and bow his proud head until he grovels in the dust, willingly giving up everything for her and washing his hands to make her meals.
Then she'll dump the old man and find herself another handsome man, leaving him to watch her be affectionate with someone else every day and cry in secret.
He can only drop all pretense and kneel to beg her. "Please, don't treat me this way. I love you!"
"What did I do wrong? Tell me, and I'll change, okay? Don't leave me..."
A broken mirror cannot be mended.
