After transmigrating into a book, Sang Luo has several genius senior brothers skilled in alchemy and talismans, a junior brother who's a sword prodigy, a ridiculously powerful Sword Sovereign for a master, and an uncle who's the richest man around.

System: [Just follow the plot to the end, and I'll let you fake your death and go home!]
To avoid dying in an undignified way, Sang Luo throws herself into cultivation, forming her core before the engagement-breakup date and waiting for the day she'll face the male lead, the Chosen One.

As the tides of fate turn, Sang Luo shows up to provoke him, hurling insults and waiting for the male lead to rise up and slap her with a divorce letter.
Instead, Chu Yanshu acts like he has nothing to lose. He hides under a crabapple tree and sleeps soundly.
“Break off the engagement? Not a chance. I'd rather die than do that!”
System: [Warning! Warning! Signs of the Chosen One giving up detected.]
Sang Luo fumes: “How can you sleep at a time like this? How can you just lie around like that?!”
