After transmigrating into a book, Sang Ning finds herself as the scumbag wife who abandoned her spouse in an old-school novel.
She looked up in shock. Through the hazy steam, she saw a young girl kneeling outside the screen, staring toward the doorway in alarm.
This was Ye Jinzhao, the protagonist of the original story. According to the plot, in just a few years Ye Jinzhao would become the most powerful person in the book and embark on a path of face-slapping and punishing scumbags.
And she, the woman who had abused the protagonist for years, would be the first to die by her sword.
Sang Ning dared not think any further. She immediately clung to the protagonist's leg and cursed herself:
"What if I told you that before, I was under some sort of spell, and the person I am now is the real me? Would you believe me?"
Only later did Sang Ning learn that she had always been a pawn in Ye Jinzhao's hands.
The day Ye Jinzhao conquered the city, Sang Ning was no different from the many other prisoners. She was taken and thrown into the dungeon.
Sang Ning did not want to resist. She knew Ye Jinzhao's obsession ran too deep, and nothing could sway her.
It was only when Ye Jinzhao personally sent her into the formation that Sang Ning, enduring the excruciating pain, coughed up a streak of bright red and caught a glimpse of panic in the other's eyes.
Sang Ning closed her eyes, quietly feeling death draw near. But when she opened them again, she had returned to her original world.

Long ago, Ye Jinzhao had resolved to grow stronger, so that everyone who had bullied her and her people would be punished.
The first person she planned to kill was her scumbag wife, Sang Ning, who had seduced her and then abandoned her.
But why had the other woman suddenly changed?
Ye Jinzhao tried to convince herself that the vixen was just coming up with some new trick to toy with her, and that she absolutely must not fall for it.
She was just a pawn. Ye Jinzhao ought to hate her for the way she had treated her before.
So Ye Jinzhao put only a tenth of her power into the formation. She only wanted to teach Sang Ning a lesson, to see her beg for mercy in pain.
But Ye Jinzhao never imagined she would kill her with her own hands.
The girl was obliterated, turning into a wisp of smoke that vanished in her arms.
So she had never hated her at all.
Regret carved into her heart like a blade, while an icy wind churned through her lungs and entrails.
From that day on, Ye Jinzhao lived every day in the nightmare of having lost the one she loved forever. She searched for years, hoping only to see her once more.
But when they met again, her Ningning no longer recognized her.
