Synopsis at the very end~

It wasn't until Ye Qiu was duped by the male lead and stupidly walked into a perilous vengeful-spirit formation that she learned the truth: someone had swapped out her leading-lady script when she was sixteen.

"Hello! Congratulations on successfully binding to the Plot Correction System. At this very moment, I'm sure you're incredibly excited. In this glorious and sacred moment--"

"...I'm excited to meet your sixth uncle." Ye Qiu lifted her eyelids. "Cut the crap."

"The author maliciously altered this world's plotline, turning you from the heroine into a cannon-fodder character. The butterfly effect that followed changed the fates of many people like you, causing them to die tragic deaths and creating numerous vengeful-spirit formations."

"So your mission is to resolve the lingering regrets of the deceased, disperse the vengeful-spirit formations, and find a way to get the plotline back on track, saving innocent lives in the process."

Ye Qiu flatly refused. "The damn author's having a meltdown, and I'm supposed to clean up after them? Do I look like some holy mother or white lotus?"

The mechanical voice sounded again. "Notice: Upcoming plot point, Ye Qiu dies."

Ye Qiu: "Fine. Tell me what to do."

-

Ye Qiu and the male lead had been engaged by their families since childhood.

Before Ye Qiu awakened, the male lead swore, "If I ever marry her, I'll give her my position as heir!"

After witnessing all the crazy stunts Ye Qiu pulled off following her awakening, the male lead changed his tune: "I'm in love. She's amazing."

One day, Ye Qiu came to see him.

The male lead hooked an arm around Ye Qiu's waist and pulled her into his embrace. In a soft voice, he said, "Tell me, just how much do you love me? Make me happy, and maybe I won't call off this engagement."

Ye Qiu gently caressed his cheek, the corner of her lips lifting in a tender smile. "My deep feelings for you defy words. All I can say is... get lost."

The next moment, a resounding slap rang out.

The male lead's self-proclaimed noble face cracked.

Before leaving, Ye Qiu turned around with a flourish. "Oh, right. I came here today to break off our engagement."

Shen Guangchen was proficient in every sect's corpse-cleansing techniques and exceptionally gifted, so powerful that even corpse people feared him.

A successor to the Shen family, he was rumored to have killed his parents with his own hands and gone into hiding for three years, falling from grace ever since.

Worse still, he wasn't even human. He was a corpse person whom Shen Guangchen's parents had once found in a corpse formation.

And contrary to the rumors, Shen Guangchen had not killed his parents. They had been infected while clearing a vengeful-spirit formation and had become neither human nor ghost.

To save his adoptive parents, Shen Guangchen used himself as a test subject, leaving his body covered in needle marks. He spent his days in the laboratory studying how he had survived.

Even he had no idea what kind of monster he was.

With every element of a tragic, beautiful powerhouse in place, all that remained was to summon his secret identity, Wenzhu.

When he returned, he was broad-shouldered and long-legged, with golden eyes and white hair. A flick of his pinky could wipe out tens of thousands of corpses. He was so powerful that even his younger sister failed to recognize him, so he could only appear before everyone as Wenzhu.

Shen Guangchen: This time, I'm taking back everything that belongs to me (not really).

-

During a corpse-clearing mission, he ran into Ye Qiu and rescued her while he was at it.

Ye Qiu began to fall into a strange pattern: somehow, they became neighbors and saw each other all the time. They even ran into each other inside corpse formations, and every time Shen Guangchen managed to show off and leave her heart pounding with how handsome he was.

With coincidences like these, they'd probably have an eight-year-old child already if this were a romance drama.

And so Ye Qiu fell in love while carrying out her missions.

Little did she know that none of it was a coincidence. The whole thing had been carefully plotted by Shen Guangchen, that bastard!

Ye Qiu put him in a chokehold, pinning him down. "Come clean. When did you start coveting me?"

Shen Guangchen smiled shyly. "S-sixteen."

"Sixteen?" Ye Qiu frowned, thinking it over. "At sixteen, didn't I beat you up every time I saw you???"

Shen Guangchen lowered his head and murmured, "Mm."

Ye Qiu: Heh. Turns out my man is into S&M.

Coming-soon synopsis:

At Beichuan No. 1 High School, Cheng Qianzhou was a favored son of heaven, the moon surrounded by stars.

Gu Chuqing, meanwhile, was at best a dusty speck, not even a star.

She witnessed countless girls confessing to Cheng Qianzhou, pretending to watch the show just like everyone else.

Only she knew that she secretly kept track of how often they passed each other, secretly recorded his rather uninspiring speeches, and listened to his "Good luck on your college entrance exams" ten thousand times.

She seemed to know the sight of his back better than she knew his face.

During the last winter of high school, Gu Chuqing rehearsed her simple confession for three years, but when she stood in front of him, she still couldn't help wanting to run away.

Gu Chuqing, why are you such a coward?

At their class reunion, everyone drank and celebrated to their hearts' content.

They were sitting a little far apart. As she had done countless times before, she watched him surrounded by admirers, with no place for her among them.

After the reunion, snow began falling outside. Somehow, Cheng Qianzhou had appeared behind Gu Chuqing, clutching her scarf in his hand.

The alcohol rising to her head, Gu Chuqing buried her face in Cheng Qianzhou's brown coat, suddenly feeling aggrieved. "When are you going to notice me?"

His tall, slender figure visibly stiffened for a moment. Then Gu Chuqing heard a snort from above her head.

"I've practically got my eyes glued to you. How much more attention do you want?"
