Gu Yue had transmigrated into a book for no apparent reason. Once the center of everyone's attention, she had become a short-lived cannon-fodder character.
The cannon fodder was a pitiful stand-in who knew nothing about her situation. She was also ostracized and mocked by the admirers and friends of the female lead, the beloved white moonlight. In the end, the pressure became too much, her cancer spread, and she died.
When the System told her she could go home once she completed her mission, she replied: Don't count me in. I just want to enjoy this rare vacation in peace.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. The lazier she got, the more certain people seemed unwilling to leave her alone.
The scheming, the vicious, the ruthless, the scummy: one after another, they went out of their way to make their presence known to her.
Gu Yue, the previous champion of household intrigue, was at a loss. These people clearly had no idea what it meant to know the script.
So the protagonists from the original story, who had always had smooth sailing and only ever suffered for love, finally got a taste of the world outside their ivory tower.
While they were left battered and bruised, scrambling to clean up their messes, the cannon-fodder actor whom Gu Yue had helped at the beginning remained safe and sound.
Shi Jing had been on the outskirts of his family since childhood. His father didn't care for him, his mother didn't love him, and his only older brother, the male lead, was wary that he might compete for the family fortune.
All he could do was hide behind a gentle smile. He entered the entertainment industry to show his family that he had no interest in the inheritance.
But even after he became a famous movie star, his family still never tried to accept him.
He waited, hopeful and desperate.
Then one day, a cool, striking woman appeared in his world and showed him through her straightforward actions what it meant to be someone's favorite.
