Everyone says that if you have a stepmother, you get a stepfather, and if you have a stepfather, you get a stepmother. But Sun Yingzi's parents were both alive, and she was still worse off than an orphan.
In their blended family, both parents favored the children born from their first marriages, their own little tokens of love. Sun Yingzi's only purpose was to hold the family together.
Her older siblings were all strikingly good-looking and capable. By comparison, she was like a little stone covered in dust, so ordinary that no one would give her a second glance in a crowd.

One day, Sun Yingzi suddenly saw a mysterious barrage of comments.
It said that her four older siblings were the male and female leads of four different books, and she was the stepping stone on each of their paths to love.
Her eldest brother was the male lead of a reborn redemption story. After being reborn, his sister-in-law married the bothersome sister-in-law off to her widowed boss, who had a child, in exchange for a promotion.
Her second brother was the male lead of a sent-down youth story. When he returned to the city with his wife and child, she gave up the job she'd worked so hard to pass the exams for, all to keep her brother's family harmonious.
Her third sister was the heroine of a military-marriage story. Sun Yingzi helped look after the children, like a little nanny, while her sister and brother-in-law had one child after another and remained as passionately in love as newlyweds, even after years of marriage.
Her fourth sister was the heroine of a story about reforming a young hoodlum. The good girl and the hoodlum fell into a passionate, torturous romance. When the hoodlum's rival humiliated her, she became the catalyst that brought the couple closer.
Sun Yingzi: ?
Fine, fine! So these people can't get by without ruining my life, is that it?

After awakening the ability to see the comments, Sun Yingzi used the information they revealed to snatch the leads' opportunities one by one. Once she secretly passed the exam for a job, she decisively left the suffocating household and escaped her fate as a disposable side character.
Without her selfless contributions as their "stepping stone," her lead siblings' lives turned into a complete mess, and their once-loving relationships were never the same.
