Everyone knows that Qin Shi is Cen Zhou's hopelessly devoted fan. She has a nasty personality and thinks the world revolves around her.
But one day, Qin Shi awakens to herself and realizes that she is nothing more than a vicious stepping stone for her childhood friend to win the love of his life.
At the same time, she learns some devastating news: as the story's villainess, she does not have long to live. The only way to stay alive is to earn the favor of the male lead, her childhood friend.
Qin Shi works hard to change herself and improve the impression she has left on her childhood friend. Everything seems to be getting better.
"We can give it a try."
But after he says those words, while Qin Shi is preparing a birthday surprise for Cen Zhou, she receives a message from the System: [The target's favorability has dropped straight to zero. Host will die in three minutes.]
Only later does Qin Shi learn that Cen Zhou met the heroine that day, the sweet, delicate girl everyone wants to protect.
In the end, Qin Shi dies a gruesome death in front of Cen Zhou, only to return to the timeline a year after she began pursuing him. For some reason, the heroine's aura has weakened by then.
That person seems to possess a kind of magic. The moment Cen Zhou sees her, he falls completely under her spell and cannot break free.
Cen Zhou believes his life is perfect. He has a gentle, kind-hearted lover who does not covet his money.
Yet, for reasons he cannot explain, he has always felt an emptiness in his heart. So, even though he has been with his girlfriend for many years, he has never wanted to marry her.
On the night of Cen Zhou's engagement, in an unnoticed corner, Qin Shi is cornered by Cen Zhou. His eyes are red, and his voice trembles at the end of each word. "Didn't you like me? Why did you suddenly stop wanting me?"
A man suddenly pulls the person dearest to him into his arms. His gaze is hostile. "I'm sorry, but she's my lover. Mr. Cen, your fiancee is still waiting for you."
