The female lead travels from one ancient setting to another, okay?
He Ling transmigrated into a book. The moment she opened her eyes, she found herself inside the storybook she'd been reading before bed.
The male and female leads were passionately in love, the second leads were pining in vain and turning to darkness, but none of that had anything to do with He Ling.
She quickly adapted to life there and took up her old trade, running a little wonton stall with surprising skill.
Then one day, two filthy children were stuffing stolen raw wontons into their mouths, watching her warily like little beasts.
The second male and female leads, whom everyone in the story hated, were now just two children who couldn't even afford a meal.
The book said they were born evil, but He Ling didn't believe it.
So she bent down, wiped the dirt from their faces, and asked if they wanted to come home with her.

He Ling never thought she would fall for anyone, but the day after she confessed her feelings to Xie Ning, he brought home a woman and said she was the one he loved.
He Ling stood stunned for a long time. Once she realized the woman was the original female lead, she finally gave up all hope.
Later, amid a blizzard, she watched Xie Ning choose to take the female lead with him, leaving He Ling behind to die. At last, she awoke from her dream.
It turned out that no matter where she was or who she was with, no matter how much of herself she gave, she would always be the one so easily abandoned.
She didn't hate Xie Ning for choosing the female lead. She just didn't understand.
After ten years of knowing and being by each other's side, Xie Ning wouldn't even turn back to look at her one last time.
She would never hope for anything again.

When she woke up again, she decided never to get involved in anyone else's love and hatred. But that person dragged his bloodied body to her and begged her over and over again.
He begged her to love him.
Kind and gentle female lead x oddball puppy of a boy
A bittersweet, melodramatic story. Sob, sob, I really do love this kind of melodrama.
