When Jiang Yao was giving birth, she nearly died. At the brink of life and death, she awakened to the truth: she was living inside a novel, and she was the foil to a lucky couple.

She was a villain whose sole purpose was to highlight the protagonists. In this book, the couple blessed with incredible luck were Fu Qing's older brother, Fu Feng, and sister-in-law, Su Yang.

Only then did Jiang Yao realize that even after giving birth to three sons, she had never married the man she loved, Fu Qing. In the end, she would contract a terminal illness and meet a tragic fate.

After awakening, Jiang Yao used the novel's mystical arts to forge a new path in life.
