Screenwriter Jiang Ning transmigrates into a novel with one mission: save Pei Shuo, a supporting male character destined for a tragic death. But the difficulty is practically hellish. Pei Shuo has already awakened to the truth that he is merely a fictional character. After being saved countless times, he has endured endless cycles in which everything resets. Having seen through every romantic pursuit tactic, his heart has turned to ashes, and all he wants is to die. Abandoning her usual playbook, Jiang Ning responds with genuine, unfiltered reactions, unexpectedly breaking through Pei Shuo's emotional defenses. From adversaries to allies, the two join forces to uncover the truth behind their world, and their feelings gradually deepen along the way. Pei Shuo goes from rejecting love and fearing it to learning to desire and give it. Jiang Ning, too, moves beyond treating everything as a mission and develops genuine affection for him. Ultimately, she chooses to love him of her own free will.
