Wen Ying's secret-crush novel, "Dark Currents," which she published online, was lucky enough to land a publishing contract. She turned on her computer and was about to revise the manuscript when a line of red text suddenly appeared before her eyes: "Do you favor your male lead so much because no one in real life has ever chosen you?"
Wen Ying was so startled that she fell to the floor, her face deathly pale. After a long while, she put on an air of nonchalance, opened the document, and continued the work she'd left unfinished.
But she discovered that the contents had been altered.
At that very moment, Yu Que, the sweet and obedient girl she had written, was throwing the umbrella of her crush, Jiang Lin, into the trash. Then she grabbed his expensive coat and used it to wipe the red ink from her hands. "So you want to play the hero and save me?"
Jiang Lin's mind went blank for a moment.
"Let's put it this way. You don't like me, and I don't think much of you either. Let's work together. We might both benefit."

At first, Wen Ying paid it no mind, until...
An incredibly familiar face appeared on her computer screen. The woman had bold, fiery red hair and bright red lipstick. When she saw Wen Ying, the corner of her mouth lifted in a mocking smile.
"So I finally get to meet you, Mother." She arched a brow and played with the ends of her slightly curled hair. Getting straight to the point, she said, "You created me, so I'll call you Mother. Perhaps I was too tolerant of you before, and let you trample on my dignity again and again. But I have plenty of things you wouldn't expect. If you don't want them exposed, you'd better change the story, Mother."
Terrified, Wen Ying stayed up all night revising the story, but a new notification popped up in the author's dashboard:
[Warning! You do not have permission to edit! Warning! You do not have permission to edit! Warning! You do not have permission to edit...]
A few minutes later.
[Dear author Yinghuo Chong, your novel "Dark Currents" has been taken over by the character Yu Que. The old document will soon be locked indefinitely, and a new story, "The Female Lead Doesn't Want to Be a Tool Anymore," is now being serialized.]
#My sweet and obedient heroine has turned into a deranged character from another dimension#
#What's it like to be punished in return by the heroine you wrote?#
Theme: Life shouldn't be defined.
