Wen Ran seemed to have it all: noble birth, stunning looks, and a celestial fiancé. But after years in this world, she remembered she was a character in a book. She was the male lead’s fiancée, his unattainable love, and the one who “saved” him—until she wasn’t.
On a fateful cliff, forced to choose between Wen Ran and another, the male lead picked Wen Ran. The other fell. The winds howled, and Wen Ran remembered: she wasn’t the savior, and he didn’t love her. The one he loved, the real savior, was the one he pushed away.
In his agony, the male lead turned dark, launching into a wife-chasing to death. Wen Ran, realizing she was just a side character, thought it was over. But on that same cliff, she watched in shock as her “pure” fiancé kicked the other girl into the abyss. He smiled at her, “You have no idea why I did that, do you?” Wen Ran was stunned. His perfect image shattered.

Years later, he poked her face and asked her in curiosity, "Wife-chasing to death—does that mean I should throw you into that abyss and run after you?"He appeared eager to try, which left Wen Ran in a long silence.

Qiu Shui let out a cold laugh, "If I strike you with my sword, perhaps I might trust you a bit more."


Ye Sui smiled slightly, "You are a young lady. Being so violent isn't good. If you were more ladylike, you might be more likable."


Perhaps when she was little, she felt unbalanced in her heart because she and Qiu Shan grew up together, and they were about the same age. At that time, Ye Sui was indeed considered an approachable elder in their childish minds.


Being children, they naturally wanted to earn the elder's praise and attention.


But children are the most sensitive. Even though Ye Sui seemed to treat Qiu Shui and Qiu Shan equally, Qiu Shui noticed early on that Ye Sui favored Qiu Shan more.


When she was younger, she felt dissatisfied because she didn't think she was any less than Qiu Shan. As she grew older, she no longer cared about such trivial matters.
