Su Yao transmigrates and gets a call from a relative, who lists all of his supposed husband's flaws and urges him to get a divorce.
His husband, Shen Ciyan, has a disability in his legs and is gloomy and world-weary. On his first night after transmigrating, Su Yao is bound with chains and forbidden from entering the bedroom.
Su Yao: This marriage has to end.
After arguing with Shen Ciyan for ages, Su Yao suddenly gets the plot explained to him: he's actually transmigrated into a book.
-
The original body belonged to the real young master. The fake young master and their relatives joined forces to kill the parents and seize the family fortune. They staged a "true love" affair to make the original body divorce Shen Ciyan, so the fake young master could take his place. After the divorce, the fake young master revealed his true nature and cruelly killed the original body.
Su Yao: ...
To avoid that tragic fate, Su Yao squeezes out some tears. "Honey, I love you! I was wrong before. I only acted that way to get your attention!"
-
After learning that the original body was a stand-in for Shen Ciyan's first love, Su Yao imitates that person in every way, acting sweet, gentle, and clingy.
"Honey, I can't sleep by myself. Can I hold you?"
"Honey, I'm scared someone might poison me. Can I eat from your bowl?"
"Honey, your heterochromia is so pretty. Can I touch it?"
Shen Ciyan's expression was impossible to read.
