After Ye Shangjia wakes up, she discovers she has become the villainess, heiress, and fairy in the novel Three Lives of Floating Fate.
She thought she could follow the plot and make it through all three lifetimes.
But the System doesn't give her that chance. She can only unlock her memories by completing missions.
The first two lifetimes are a complete mess, and the plot doesn't flow at all. She thought the System had glitched, but it turns out these are the female lead's memories. The female lead was originally a character in the book, whose awakened consciousness traveled into the real world.
If she fails her missions, she'll become a paper person in this world, and the System will disappear along with her.
The good news is that all her identities are powerful. The bad news is that she has no golden finger.
The paper person who was the demoness in the novel has unexpectedly gained her own consciousness and uses Jiang Shunan to leave seclusion.
"This book was born because of you, and it will disappear with you."
"No company? That makes no sense."
"Seventh Prince, I've never loved your sister. I love you!"
In her first life, she personally killed the person she loved most, someone who had counted her among his pieces on the board.
In the end, she became emperor, then passed the throne to her younger brother. Just as she was about to live a carefree life, her best friend killed her.
After being reborn into her second life, she became the daughter of a Hanlin Academy editor. She discovered she had a master in the martial world, and that her senior brother looked exactly like her former husband from her previous life, even down to his name. After a series of twists and turns, she discovered that her first two lives were both tribulations in the mortal world for the male lead of her third life.
At last, she woke from the dream, the illusion shattered, and arrived in the third life, where she cultivated to immortality. She discovered that she was the paper person.
Her sister gave Yuyu the way out. When Yuyu returned to real life, she discovered that Ye Shangjia had never existed at all. She had imagined everything. Ye Shangjia was a real paper person. So had all those days spent together been nothing but her imagination...?
