On the second day of her marriage, Xu Zhiyi suddenly discovers that she is merely a background character in a BL novel. Her name appears only once in the entire book—during her divorce from her arranged marriage partner. Her nominal wife, Pei Qingyan, is the story’s great villain who constantly opposes the male lead and eventually meets a tragic end, losing both her family and her life.
Believing their downfall stems from a romantic entanglement, Xu Zhiyi hesitates about whether she should step aside. Out of pity for their brief time together, she decides to advise her wife not to waste her life pining for the male lead. However, as soon as she brings him up, the usually indifferent Pei Qingyan glares at her with a dark, brooding intensity. Do you still have feelings for him? she demands. Before Xu Zhiyi can explain, the woman forcefully shuts her up, declaring, I will not allow a divorce.
From then on, Xu Zhiyi realizes that no matter what she says, Pei Qingyan’s logic always circles back to the idea of divorce. One day, she witnesses Pei Qingyan staring down the male lead with a murderous, icy gaze, her voice more ferocious than ever: Don’t you dare dream about my wife! The air is thick with jealousy. Yet, the moment she sees Xu Zhiyi, the villain’s expression softens into a pleading, aggrieved look. Wife, why did you only just get here?
Much later, Xu Zhiyi learns that the novel she happened to read was actually a fanfiction. In the original story, Pei Qingyan had gone mad because Xu Zhiyi asked for a divorce, torturing the men who had shown interest in her until they wished for death. The fanfic was only written out of sympathy for those men.
One evening, while leaning into Pei Qingyan’s embrace, Xu Zhiyi reaches out to touch the woman’s cold, sharp features. Before she can speak, she is pulled into a kiss. Let’s have a child, the fearsome villain whispers, her eyes filled with the unique tenderness she reserves only for her wife. Everything, it turns out, had been a long-calculated scheme to keep her close.
