Ordinary passerby Jiang Yi unexpectedly awakens self-awareness, discovering that he is in a short-drama world and merely a nameless NPC. Refusing to be manipulated by the predetermined script, without relying on overpowered cheat abilities, and armed with a clear mind, he outsmarts cunning merchants, resolves various plot conflicts, and carves out his own path step by step from a steamed bun shop assistant. Breaking free from genre tropes and refusing to blindly follow fate's arrangements, he uses independent thinking to grasp his own choices, interpreting a growth story of an ordinary person holding onto his original aspiration, breaking through dilemmas, and taking control of his own life.
