Experiencing the Script of a Torturous Romance as a Bystander

Ye Ruoyu has been having dreams lately. In them, she lives in an angsty romance novel. The heroine is her beloved boss, who goes through all kinds of melodramatic twists and turns with the hero before they finally get their happy ending. As for Ye Ruoyu, she’s just a hardworking, ordinary person living in the background. But who would take a dream seriously? She assumes she’s simply been reading too many romance novels lately and her brain is making up stories behind her back. Until one day, a man in a sharp suit with a cold expression walks into the shop. Before Ye Ruoyu can call out, “Welcome,” she sees her usually smiling boss suddenly change her expression. Oh no!! While she worries about her boss’s rocky love life, her own life is the first to undergo a dramatic upheaval. Falling into a wealthy family, a marriage contract… Are these storylines even meant for her? Ye Ruoyu: -_-|| -Things to know before reading- 1. This is a light urban rom-com, essentially a fairy-tale romance, with an even split between realism and fantasy. 2. The female lead is a normal person who speaks her mind. There’s an age gap: the male lead is 28 and the female lead is 21 from the start. I love gentle older men and will gladly devour this trope. 3. The title refers to the kinds of plotlines that female leads tend to encounter, not to her taking over the heroine’s role. There’s relatively little of the original novel in this story. 4. It has classic melodramatic tropes, but the plot doesn’t unfold in the usual way. 5. The setting may feel a little outdated, since melodramatic novels tend to be old-fashioned. -Guide to completed works- Old-school transmigration-into-a-book stories: I’m a Nobody at the Noble Academy, I’m the Class Monitor at the Noble Academy, What’s It Like to Be a Bartender in a CEO Novel?, Secretary in a CEO Novel, What’s It Like to Work as a Housekeeper in a Trashy Rich Family?, The Teacher in This School Novel Is a Rich Heiress Urban adventures: Oh No, I Became an Incubus’s Master, Experiencing the Heroine’s Story as an Extra, I’m the Matchmaker, Reality Dating Show Guest, My Best Friend Was Recognized by a Wealthy Family, I’m Nothing in This Rebirth Novel, I’m Filming a Reality Show in the Future, The Young Lady Villain Can Hear the Comments Section Theme: Live positively and work hard.
