Si Qimeng never imagined that she was just a junior screenwriter diligently writing tragic heroine dramas according to the client’s demands, and that one day she would be forced to bind herself to a “Protagonist-Saving System” and transmigrate into her own script to save the heroine, all because she had put the heroine through too much suffering.
Si Qimeng: This is so unfair! I’m just a wage worker doing a job for money!
System: Fail to complete the mission and you’ll be erased completely. Countdown: ten, nine, eight, seven...
Si Qimeng: Wait, I think there’s still a chance to save this situation.
System: Please begin your performance.
Si Qimeng: No rush. First, I’ll find some sucker to marry and get my hands on a little money.
The sucker himself, Gu Yusong: It’s not right to use someone and then throw him away...
Si Qimeng: But...
Gu Yusong: I’ll cook, I’ll keep house, and you can manage the money.
Si Qimeng: The money is mine to begin with! I earned it!
Gu Yusong: Then all the more reason you can’t just abandon your husband who stuck with you through hard times. (Hugging her and refusing to let go)
Si Qimeng: ...
A hard-knock-life office worker and screenwriter vs. a proud, impoverished scholar brought low by a scheme
They meet in their darkest hour and write a story of love, healing each other along the way.

“Can’t I Just Stop Being a Princess?”
Blurb:
Li Mingzhu has spent eighteen years as a maid when she suddenly learns she is a princess who was lost among the common folk. Before she can enjoy the news for even a few days, she discovers she is to be sent to a foreign kingdom to marry for peace!
Unacceptable! She hasn’t even enjoyed a few days of wealth and privilege. Why should she have to marry for peace?
So, after being egged on by a maid, she schemes to marry the son of Chancellor Lin. She thinks she has escaped her fate, but on her wedding day, someone sends her off with a cup of poisoned wine.
She opens her eyes and finds herself back on the day she first returned to the palace. This time, she decides to lie flat.
Fine, she’ll marry for peace. At least she can ask for a bigger dowry.
However, on the way to her wedding, an arrow pierces her heart. Dead.
She opens her eyes again and finds herself back on that familiar day.
Li Mingzhu: Forget it. Staying alive matters more. I don’t need to be a princess!
She packs her belongings and makes a run for it!
But, hey, why is my ex-husband’s younger brother blocking my way? Wait, wait, the guards are catching up!
Fuming, Li Mingzhu gives in to a reckless impulse and grabs Lin Qingzhu by the arm: I came out to elope with him!
Lin Qingzhu, instantly the target of everyone’s disapproving stares: ...Who’s going to speak up for me?
Theme: Never neglect to do even the smallest good deed
