Only after Luo Ning died did she discover that the world she'd lived in was just a book, and that she was merely a cannon-fodder character who loved the second male lead, Xi Yu.
Her only purpose was to bring the second male lead and the heroine together again at her memorial after she died of a sudden illness.
Luo Ning gave a cold laugh. "What a thoroughly disposable tool."
When Xi Yu was seven, his father sent him to live with his mother's family. His maternal grandparents, wanting to avoid upsetting his mother, put him in the small building at the far western end of the property.
Only the girl next door came to see him often, bright as the moon.
He looked forward to growing up, to getting a little closer to the moon, and hoped... but it all came to nothing.
She got together with someone else, a man as noble and radiant as the moon, while he was a demon in a glittering disguise.
In the drizzle, he hid in a corner and watched them kiss. Suddenly, a warm hand covered his eyes, and a gentle voice entered his ears along with the cold raindrops.
"Don't look."

After being reborn, Luo Ning binds herself to a cannon-fodder upgrade System and accepts a romance conquest mission. She has to keep raising Xi Yu's affection for her to earn one hundred protagonist points, break free of her cannon-fodder status, and start a new life.
The students at No. 1 High School discover that the school beauty has become the school heartthrob's simp. Wherever Xi Yu goes, Luo Ning is sure to be there.
But the heartthrob remains aloof atop his snowy peak, showing no interest in the school beauty's advances. As the pressure of studying mounts, the two become everyone's favorite topic of gossip.
Pride is precious, but life is priceless!
Luo Ning doesn't care about the rumors at all.
After the college entrance exams, the students of Hengyuan who'd been watching the drama are left stunned.
Xi Yu, the aloof beauty atop a lofty peak, descends to the mortal world. Not only does he like the campus-wall post featuring fanfiction about the two of them, he also politely asks for pictures under a post of their stunning fan art.
Luo Ning is shocked. Is he trying to mess with me?
Seeing that her protagonist points are about to reach one hundred, she immediately puts on a Sichuan opera face-changing performance right in front of Xi Yu.
Luo Ning: You're great, but I'm not worthy of you. That's that. Next!
Xi Yu: ???
Xi Yu: Why did she stop playing with me?
A sweet, cool girl who's quiet on the outside, full of dry humor and eager to complain on the inside × a selfish, self-serving, honey-tongued, two-faced bad seed who's good at putting on an act
Reader's guide:
1. The heroine's top priority is staying alive. Everything she does is in service of that.
2. The male lead doesn't like the original heroine. That part of the blurb is from the book world's plot and the heroine's perspective, but the original plot constrains the male lead, so he may still act like a jerk in the early chapters. If it bothers you, feel free to complain.
3. You may not believe it, but this is actually a healing and redemption story. I'm just no good at writing the "chasing your wife after losing her" trope. (Scratches head.)
4. I can't think of anything else for now. I'll add more if I do.
