Bo Chi transmigrated into a book as the vicious supporting female character in a novel. Her whole family took pleasure in tormenting the female lead. Bo Chi herself would beat and scold her at the slightest provocation, humiliating her every day.
When Bo Chi arrived, the original owner was about to slash Sang Li's face because she was jealous of her beauty.
Bo Chi opened her eyes to a face so beautiful it was almost devastating. The woman stared at her with humiliation and resentment, her eyes reflecting the hatred that would one day drive her to slaughter them all.
But victory and defeat were already decided. For now, she could only submit to her captors, close her eyes, and wait for the blade to fall.
One second, two seconds, a minute passed.
Wondering why the woman still hadn't struck, she heard the knife hit the ground.
The usually vicious woman slapped herself, then threw herself into Bo Chi's arms and clung to her. Her voice was urgent and tearful as she said,
"Run! No one in my family is any good. I don't want you to get hurt!"

Sang Li, the female lead of Muddy, was Bo Chi's favorite character.
She grieved when Sang Li did and rejoiced when Sang Li did. The first half of the story broke her heart. More than once, she cried over Sang Li's injuries and cursed the people who tormented her as beasts.
But beyond her heartache, all she felt was helplessness.
Sang Li belonged to her own story, while Bo Chi was just someone outside the book. There was nothing she could do to help.
Bo Chi despised herself for being so useless.
Then she opened her eyes again and found herself in the book, as the person who had bullied Sang Li the worst.
Looking at the woman, wounded all over yet standing proud as a plum blossom in the snow, she couldn't help but cry.
She wouldn't be useless anymore.

Later, Sang Li twirled a lock of Bo Chi's hair around her finger and gazed tenderly at the woman whose eyes were filled with her. "You really like me that much?"
"Aren't you afraid I'll resent you someday and take revenge on purpose?"
Without the slightest hesitation, the woman knelt and kissed her hand reverently.
Bo Chi didn't care about anything else.
She didn't care whether Sang Li would kill her along with the others.
She didn't care about the miserable fate the original owner would face.
That was what this body deserved. She was only taking the punishment in her place.
The only thing she cared about was whether her moon could hang high in the sky.
Never to fall.
Theme: You have to fight to win!
