After being ground down by her soul-crushing company, Wu Jiangluo dies of overwork. When she opens her eyes again, she has become the doomed supporting villainess in a melodramatic novel, constantly picking fights with the heroine. In the end, the heroine's younger brother, a twisted and obsessive man, imprisons her as his plaything, leaving her with a tragic fate.
Wu Jiangluo's heart comes back to life the moment she opens the door.
A luxurious, three-story detached villa with wonderful natural light, a fully equipped gym and yoga room, ample air conditioning in summer, and underfloor heating always on in winter. Apart from not being able to order takeout and having to cook for herself, she might occasionally have to deal with the perverted male lead coming over to toy with her.
Otherwise, this place is practically the dream home she's always wanted! Quiet surroundings, free rent and utilities, gated management that cuts off all socializing, and a strong Wi-Fi signal...
Wu Jiangluo stares blankly for three seconds. Holy moly, the perfect place to study for the civil service exam!
She clenches her fists, her gaze firm. This time, she's going to seize her chance, escape the abyss of capitalism, and charge into the civil service!

"So you like my brother-in-law? Then I'll make sure you never get what you want."
Li Chen'ai's face darkens as he grips Wu Jiangluo by the throat and pins her against the sofa.
But Wu Jiangluo accidentally presses the tablet on the sofa, which hasn't had its screen turned off. A solemn, wholesome lecture on current affairs and political theory begins to play between their breaths. "New quality productive forces are green productive forces. We must prioritize ecology and accelerate green technological innovation..."
Li Chen'ai's mood is ruined. He asks in disgust, "What kind of stuff do you usually watch?"
Wu Jiangluo rubs her reddened throat and replies with sarcasm, "Big Brother, you're a big-time entrepreneur. Don't tell me you don't even know about new quality productive forces."
Li Chen'ai slams the door on his way out.
Wu Jiangluo escapes disaster, hugs the tablet to her chest, and is moved to tears. "Teacher, I'll never listen to pirated recordings again. I'm buying your course!"
Later, Li Chen'ai notices that Wu Jiangluo has been behaving herself lately. She no longer runs off to make life difficult for other people. Her only hobby is opening her tablet each day to watch a certain man's livestream on time, sending coins and gifts, liking the stream, and leaving comments without missing a thing.
Li Chen'ai zooms in on the security footage and glares at the man on the tablet, who is talking nonstop.

Li Chen'ai and Wu Jiangluo have been getting along well lately. He thinks she's given up on escaping, but one day at the end of the year, she'd rather climb the wall than stay in the villa. Li Chen'ai's gaze turns dark as he floors the accelerator and follows her all the way, only to be stopped at the school gate...
The security guard at the entrance grips an iron baton. "Hey, handsome, show me your ID and exam admission ticket!"
