The original Song Yunian was a high school senior about to take her college entrance exams.
But she wasn't focused on studying.
The night before her eighteenth birthday, she stayed up late to finish a novel.
The villainess in the novel had the same name as her.
But she thought the villainess was so annoying, and believed that if she were in that character's place, she would have made a very different life for herself.
Though the villainess shared her name, their personalities were completely different.
Because of Song Yunian's complaints about the character,
Song Yunian entered the book at midnight on her eighteenth birthday.
In the original story, the male lead made the villainess suffer terribly.
Song Yunian didn't want to follow the villainess's path.
She decided to lie flat and stay away from the male and female leads.
First, she changed the rigid impression other people had of her.
Then she befriended Zhao Lanqing, whose name was the same as someone she knew in the real world.
Before the heroine appeared, she wanted to lie flat and keep her distance from the male and female leads.
After the heroine appeared, she discovered she was completely smitten with her. The heroine seemed to have a fatal attraction for her.
She began spending time with the heroine, Mu Ziqing.
Their relationship went from being complete strangers to good friends who knew and understood each other.
From then on, Song Yunian had an older sister, and Mu Ziqing had a Niannian.
Mu Ziqing had fallen for Song Yunian early on,
but because they were both women, she never worked up the courage to say it.
That love became a secret, buried deep in Mu Ziqing's heart.
Song Yunian knew she cared about Mu Ziqing, but could never figure out what she truly felt for her.
Until Mu Ziqing went off to war.
Song Yunian realized how very, very much she missed her.
Little by little, she began to see her own feelings for Mu Ziqing.
She wrote letters expressing how much she missed and admired her.
Because Song Yunian wrote, "I miss you. I want to spend Qixi with you," Mu Ziqing raided the enemy camp and then rushed back to the capital overnight to find her.
That Qixi Festival,
Mu Ziqing and Song Yunian confessed their feelings to each other.
The next day,
Mu Ziqing requested a marriage decree at court.
But this earned her the enmity of Lin Che, the male lead, who was obsessed with fame and fortune.
Lin Che began making sarcastic remarks in public and secretly sending assassins after her.
Mu Ziqing knew Lin Che was trouble,
but his schemes had no effect on her.
Instead, they pushed him into the spotlight.
After Mu Ziqing dealt with Lin Che,
she took Song Yunian's hand, and they bowed to each other in their wedding ceremony.
"Niannian, my fiancée, will you marry me and become my wife?"
"Because you're my older sister, I will."
"All right, my wife. You know..."
"Know what?"
"I love you! Even though we're both girls, I still want to say it out loud: I love you. Because you're you, Song Yunian, Niannian, the person I love."
"I feel the same."
