Jian Youyou accidentally transmigrated into a novel through a dream, becoming the stand-in female supporting character in a story about a counter-replacement plot. Diligently following the script, she worked hard to please the male lead. After all, he only cared about her face, so she wasn’t losing anything—and in the end, she’d even receive a massive breakup payout, one that she could take back to the real world!
The male lead, Yu Hekun, was a fastidious, gloomy, and cold-hearted man, but Jian Youyou endured it all for the money. No matter how harshly he lashed out, she would smile sweetly and say, “It’s okay, I love you,” playing the role of a devoted lover to perfection.
Finally, when the female lead returned from abroad as per the plot, Jian Youyou “heartbrokenly” (though inwardly ecstatic) took the initiative to break up.
Jian Youyou: “I’ve seen her… Now I understand everything. I won’t delude myself anymore. Tomorrow’s engagement banquet—I’ll disappear quietly… sobs” (Hahaha—here comes the fortune!)
But Yu Hekun grabbed the back of her neck, his grip tight as he glared at her fake tears and demanded through gritted teeth, “Our engagement banquet—where exactly do you plan on disappearing to?!”
Yu Hekun: There’s a kind of person who seems weak and fragile, scattering like water at the slightest touch, dripping away without leaving a mark. But over time, you realize—your heart has been eroded drop by drop, pierced through. And the cruelest part? By the time your heart is hollowed out, you discover it was all just her game.
I was merely a fleeting dream to you, yet you became the one I longed for in vain.
