Shu Ye transmigrated into a book, becoming the wicked supporting female character in a tragic romance novel.
Her mission was to correct Shou Xin and lead the wicked male supporting character onto the right path.
Shu Ye began working diligently, staying by the male supporting character's side. She said that to love someone meant valuing him more than yourself, and she had always done just that.
Until the conquest mission was nearly complete, when the System ordered her to start the "love them and leave them" side quest.

Xuan Zhiye was born without parents and had no one to rely on.
He struggled all his life, rising from a government slave to a powerful minister of the dynasty.
Then he met a young woman. Everything she did was for him: she lived for him, and she died for him.
On the day enemy forces invaded, Shu Ye was captured. Standing atop the city wall, she gave her life without hesitation for the sake of her country, without waiting for him to rescue her.
After that, Xuan Zhiye went mad searching for immortality and a way to bring her back. No matter how many people told him that the dead could not return to life, he refused to give up.
Later, after traveling across mountains and seas and enduring ten years of hardship, he met the young and beautiful Shu Ye again.
She stood beside a young man and stared at him coldly. "From beginning to end, I never loved him. I only wanted to humiliate him. I'm very satisfied with how things turned out."
She wanted to escape and disappear from Xuan Zhiye's sight forever, but he stopped her. His bloodshot eyes could not conceal his madness. "I'm no longer a government slave. You won't leave my side again."
They clung to each other in desperate passion. He couldn't live without her, and when the red curtains fell, he locked her away.
She said she loved someone else, not him. He said it didn't matter, because he loved her. Switching affections didn't work, so Shu Ye tried another way: she accused him of being inferior to the young man and said she wanted to keep a few young men at her residence.
That night, he crazily swallowed an entire jar of aphrodisiac. Shu Ye scolded him: "Are you insane?"
Xuan Zhiye's eyes were red. "I've been insane for ten years."
"I'll give you anything you want. All right?" he begged. "Just don't leave me."
