Qin Yao transmigrates by accident into this year's hit feel-good romance novel, becoming a disposable female supporting character whose role is to heal the devoted second male lead.
In the novel, the male and female leads humiliate their enemies, share sweet moments, and show off their love, while the second male lead suffers unrequited love and wrings tears from the readers.
The female supporting character is born to suffer. She has stunning looks but is a hopeless romantic, falling in love with the second male lead at first sight, becoming his doormat and stand-in, then taking responsibility for the rotten old cucumber of a man he's been with.
When Qin Yao arrives, the female supporting character is working up the courage to give herself to the man she loves.
Qin Yao: !!!
Being a doormat gets you nowhere. Today, either she or the second male lead is going to die!
But after a night of chaos...
Qin Yao realizes she may have slept with the second male lead's powerful father.

At some point, people notice that the unpopular third daughter of the Qin family has gained a powerful patron with a high-ranking position.
Cheng Sili, the second male lead's father, appears only three times in the entire novel. His actions are inscrutable, and he is neither wholly good nor evil. Even the male lead has to give him a wide berth.
The outside world spreads a rumor: this is the future father-in-law's seal of approval.
And in a heavily guarded manor on the outskirts of the city, the third floor holds a secret that must never be spoken of to outsiders.
Qin Yao, whom the powerful man personally swooped into a remote mountain village to drag back: What do I do if I've offended him...
The man gently taps her lifeless cheek, his voice tender yet cold. "An elder should act like one. From now on, when you see your old flame, remember to call him by a different title."
Qin Yao doesn't want to become a stepmother for convenience, and has no interest in winning over the powerful man: ??? This guy's a total psycho, but maybe I can work with that.
