Yun Wei, a graduate of an acting academy, finds herself inside the sugary romance script she has just received.
The male and female leads handle the sweet romance, while the second leads are in charge of the tragic love story.
The original owner of her body is the second female lead, the female lead's long-lost younger sister. She resembles her older sister to a considerable degree. The second male lead, He Chengfeng, cannot win the female lead's heart, so he treats her younger sister as a substitute. After a series of familiar plot beats, "I love you, but you love her; I finally realize my feelings, but you're no longer by my side; I chase my wife to the crematorium, and we get a happy ending," everyone ultimately comes together for a happy ending.
At present, she is living in a residence the second male lead has prepared for her.
He has even sent a governess and a tutor to teach her etiquette and scholarship, training her to measure up to the female lead in every way.
Yun Wei: "..."
Her older sister sounds great. She'll leave and go stay with her.
But she doesn't have enough money.
Yun Wei quickly makes up her mind: she'll fleece the second male lead!
All that training in posture, movement, and expression wasn't for nothing. How hard could it be to cosplay as his unattainable ideal?
He wants her to play the part of a new person taking the place of an old flame, drawing together, listening to music, composing poems, filling in lyrics, betting with wine, splashing tea, and boating on the lake...
Fine, all fine. If the money's right, anything goes!
He Chengfeng gradually falls for her, and is delighted.
Just as he is about to confess his feelings, Yun Wei vanishes without a trace. He searches everywhere but cannot find her. All she leaves behind is a letter with two big words written on it: JERK!!!
He Chengfeng is stunned. Weren't they in love with each other? Why did she leave a letter and run off, only to curse him?
Never mind, finding her is what matters first.
Only later does Yun Wei discover that she's been handed a heavily rewritten script!!!
He Chengfeng: =_=
