Xin Yi transmigrates into a book and becomes the vicious second female lead in an old-school CEO romance. She arrives on the very day the character's trial ends and she is sentenced to prison.
Looking at the eight huge characters on the wall that say, "Reform yourself through hard work and contribute to society," she sheds two thick streams of noodle-like tears...
Will someone tell her why she's become a vicious supporting character who's just been sent to prison? She can't believe it. Why should she have to bear the consequences of the character's evil deeds? She doesn't want to go to jail! The anger in Xin Yi's heart awakens the System that came with her.
"Ding! Your Prison Rehabilitation System has arrived!"
[Task One: Use a sewing machine to embroider a picture of prosperity and blooming flowers!]
Xin Yi looks at the quilt cover in her hands, throws it to the ground, and stomps on it twice. Fuming, she says, "You jerk, why don't you try embroidering one yourself?!"
[Reward: Reduce your sentence by fifteen days!]
Xin Yi immediately picks it back up with a sycophantic smile. "You got it, boss!"
[Task Two: Repair the prison's sewer pipes.]
Xin Yi is stunned. "That's too much! You're asking a delicate young woman like me to fix a sewer!"
[Reward: Reduce your sentence by one month!]
Xin Yi grabs the tools. "Ever played Super Mario? My childhood dream was to become a plumber!"
[Task Three: Find the villain at the joint social event for the men's and women's prisons, then confess your love to him loudly.]
Xin Yi flies into a rage. "Listen here, I'd rather starve to death or jump from here than let you get your way!"
[Reward: Release upon completion of sentence, plus a cash bonus of fifty million!]
Xin Yi: "…"
Xin Yi: "Ou Hao... no, I mean, Lou Jiming, I love you! Like a mouse loves rice!"
Xin Yi figures she can always visit and help the poor guy out after she gets released!
But how did this guy get out too?!
The man wraps his arms around An Yi from behind and asks in a low voice, "If I'm not rice, why do you look at me like I'm a cat?"
Xin Yi wants to cry. You're not rice. You're so rough you scratch my throat worse than cornmeal!
From the day Lou Jiming went to prison, he felt like his life had become a puddle of mud, and he was struggling through it all alone.
But who could've guessed that some silly deer would insist on jumping into that mud with him? He couldn't stop her.
Author: I don't think the heroine is just a deer anymore. Maybe I'll change her to a silly roe deer!
[Reader's Guide] 1v1, both leads are each other's first and only. A mutual, redemptive love story; the male lead appears later. Overall, it's a goofy, sweet romance, though there are a few scenes that call for it. It's still sweet overall.
