After the Heroine’s Halo Was Stolen, I Was Reborn

Gu Jinyao died.

She'd taken a great hand in life and played it terribly. She thought she had only herself to blame, until, on the brink of death, she discovered that her promising future, her happy life, and the heroine's halo that should have been hers had all been stolen.

As it turned out, she was living in a novel set in a bygone era, and someone who had transmigrated into the book had taken over her life.

Reborn at the turning point of her fate, she looked at the familiar scene before her and saw that she had become the villainess.

Gu Jinyao broke free of the plot's control. "Who cares about following the protagonist's path? Let the protagonist have nowhere to go. To hell with it!"

After stealing the original heroine's halo, Gu Liu Ying used her golden finger to gradually become the heroine herself.

Except...

Whenever she was about to make a fortune, Gu Jinyao always got there first.

Whenever she was about to marry the male lead from the book, Gu Jinyao had already been pampered by a powerful man into someone everyone envied.

Gu Liu Ying couldn't understand. According to the plot they'd set up, wasn't Gu Jinyao supposed to elope with someone and die far from home?

Why was she still around?

And living even better than Gu Liu Ying!

Why?
