Ji Rou unexpectedly transmigrates into a novel—and not as the heroine, but as the male lead’s notorious, gold-digging ex-girlfriend.
In the original story, Shen Xingbai, the male lead, is a poor but hardworking young man who sacrifices everything to support his girlfriend’s education. However, after he suffers a devastating accident that leaves his leg crippled, she abandons him for a wealthy heir.
Betrayed and broken, Shen Xingbai is later reborn. Armed with foreknowledge and determination, he rises to power, exacts revenge on those who wronged him—especially his materialistic ex—and ultimately builds a successful empire. In the end, he finds true love with his destined partner, leaving his past behind.
Now, Ji Rou finds herself stuck in the role of that very ex-girlfriend—the one doomed to be humiliated and cast aside.
Knowing the future, she faces a difficult choice:
Should she stick to the original plot and meet her tragic end… or try to change her fate by treating Shen Xingbai differently?
But as she attempts to rewrite the story, things don’t go as planned. The once cold and distant male lead begins to change, and their relationship slowly takes an unexpected turn.
Can Ji Rou escape her doomed role, or will she fall deeper into a story that no longer follows its original script?
