Ye Zhaoru was born to privilege. Her parents doted on her, and the first half of her life was smooth sailing.
Then, at fifteen, she was kidnapped by an enemy clan and made a prisoner.
The enemy clan's young master was sinister and cunning, unruly and cruel. He imprisoned her in the deepest courtyard of the Chang residence. He neither killed her nor let her go. He humiliated her every day, and most enjoyed watching her struggle in distress.
The young master gripped her chin, digging his fingertips into her soft, pale skin as he smiled viciously. "The blood debt your parents owe me? You'll pay it back for them."
Ye Zhaoru: ...Fate has it in for me!
Only on the brink of death did she learn that she was a cannon-fodder supporting character in a wish-fulfillment novel aimed at male readers.
The male lead, Chang Yeqing, was the sole survivor when his entire family was massacred in his youth. With the encouragement and support of his childhood sweetheart, the female lead, he picked himself back up, fought his way back into the immortal sect, slaughtered the enemy clan, became the ruler of the Great Wilderness, married his childhood sweetheart, and lived happily ever after.
Among the countless cannon fodder he killed was Ye Zhaoru.
When she opened her eyes again, Ye Zhaoru was back at fifteen.
The good news: she had a chance to survive.
The bad news: her clan had already slaughtered the entire Chang family, and now Chang Yeqing had imprisoned her in a secluded courtyard, where she was worse off than dead.
Ye Zhaoru: Fate has it in for me!!
She hated Chang Yeqing with all her heart.
When her parents slaughtered his family, why hadn't they killed him too?
At last, an opportunity came.
Ye Zhaoru found a rare pill the likes of which the world had never seen. "What is this?"
"A memory-loss pill. It can make someone forget everything, especially hatred. Except..."
"Except what?"
"Except for the person they care about most in the world."
Chang Yeqing was forced to take the pill and lost his memories. Ye Zhaoru escaped.
At last, she was free.
To stop him from making a comeback, her clan slaughtered the Chang family a second time.
As for Chang Yeqing, the male lead who was supposed to defy fate and change his destiny, he forgot his hatred, forgot who he was, and forgot his family. He wandered around like a headless fly, circling a pile of shit. What a tragic waste.
Ye Zhaoru lived carefree at home.
The male lead had lost his memories and remembered only the person he loved most, who was sure to be his childhood sweetheart, the female lead.
Everything else had absolutely nothing to do with her!
Ye Zhaoru let out a hearty sigh of relief, light as a feather.
Except...
Every night after she went to bed, she felt as if a pair of eyes were watching her from the darkness.
A shadowy, damp, scorching gaze.
It sent a shiver down her spine.
But she could never find where it came from.
