[Check out the ongoing novel: When the Male Lead Learns I'm the Book Transmigration Guide Targeting Him] Huazhi is the only person in the story who hasn't figured out the truth.

Her friend hesitates: Babe, he's the male lead. You two can't be together. Huazhi: "I don't like Di Shu." Her classmate understands: She's the heroine. According to the setup, you're supposed to hate her. Huazhi: "I think I keep doing weird things for no reason." Her family looks heartbroken: It's all because of the plot. Our poor baby. * Though she senses something is off, Huazhi is still happy. She confesses to Ming Yan, and after a moment of silence, he agrees: "Of course I like you." She accidentally hurts Di Shu, but Di Shu comforts her instead: "It's not your fault. It's the plot... That must have scared our Huazhi." Her friends always show up when she needs them, and her family always thinks she's been wronged, showering her with pocket money. Huazhi doesn't understand. After thinking it over, she suddenly brightens: They must be smitten with me, defeated by my charm! * One day, Huazhi learns the truth. Huazhi: So that's it. You've all been acting.

Coming Soon Yun Ruo is a Book Transmigration mission-taker. After five years, she finally succeeds in winning over the novel's male lead, Meng Tingmo, and marries him. Looking at Meng Tingmo's handsome, devoted face, she falls for him. She turns down the System's offer to return to her original world and chooses to stay by his side as a loving wife. Their life together is happy. Meng Tingmo dotes on her, and they even have a child together. But one month before she is due to give birth, everything changes. Meng Tingmo looks at her with cold contempt, hatred faintly showing in his eyes. Her friends and younger brother avoid her like the plague, all distancing themselves from her. She has no idea what went wrong. She begs Meng Tingmo to explain, but all he says is, "I hate you. Just looking at you disgusts me." Yun Ruo's heart turns to ash. On the night she gives birth, the System takes her back to her original world. * Meng Tingmo once loved Yun Ruo so much he would have given his life for her. But his love came to an abrupt end when he learned that Yun Ruo was a Book Transmigration mission-taker. So he never really loved her. It had all been Yun Ruo's scheme. If he had developed "feelings" for her, she must have been controlling him. He hated being controlled, so he hated Yun Ruo. He wanted a divorce. Later, Yun Ruo willingly signed the divorce papers and disappeared on the day she gave birth. He got what he wanted. But a day passed, then two, then a year, then two years. Why hadn't he forgotten Yun Ruo? He didn't love her. Yet whenever he thought of Yun Ruo, it felt as though a wound had split open in his chest, and a dull ache spread through his body with his blood. * Yun Ruo returns to the world where Meng Tingmo lives. When she sees him again, she expects a huge argument. Instead, Meng Tingmo asks with red-rimmed eyes why it took her so long to come back. Yun Ruo thinks for a moment, then pushes away the arms he has wrapped around her. "I have very few boundaries, so I let people hurt me again and again. But once the hurt piles up enough to make me lose hope, I never look back." "Then why did you come back?" "I have a new mission." *Because we don't want the heroine to forgive the person who hurt her, the male lead has been changed. *This isn't a wish-fulfillment story or a strong-female-lead story, but the heroine is absolutely at its core. *Melodramatic, fictional setting, logic optional. *Placeholder.
