Ye Yichi’s only goal in life was to be a “salted fish” to lie flat and do absolutely nothing.
Unexpectedly, a single glance at her engagement banquet changed everything. Xin Ning was like a cold, arrogant winter plum blossom, crashing straight into the depths of her soul.
During the three years of their arranged marriage, Ye Yichi accompanied Xin Ning into the cutthroat business world. She socialized and navigated politics on Xin Ning’s behalf, doing everything in her power to help her get what she wanted to reclaim everything belonging to the Xin family.
On the day Xin Ning regained control of the Xin Group, she offered Ye Yichi a faint “thank you” along with a document.
On the cover, in bold black and white, were the words: Divorce Agreement. Ye Yichi swore she wasn’t sad.
She had always known this world was a book. Xin Ning was the protagonist, and she was merely a passerby who happened to transmigrate into the body of a villainous cannon fodder. When the protagonist achieves fame and success, it is only natural for the cannon fodder to make a sensible exit.
Yet, for some reason, her eyes still turned red.
After Ye Yichi left, Xin Ning’s cold demeanor shattered.
She took over the company and purged the high-level executives, revealing an iron fist she had hidden for years. But in the dead of night, she would sit alone among the roses until dawn.
Eventually, drenched by a drizzling rain and treading over mossy cobblestones, she finally found the person she yearned for in a small courtyard covered in fallen petals.
With tears falling like rain, she stumbled forward, desperate to kiss Ye Yichi’s lips.
“Come back with me, please?”
“You said you were willing to be the light in the cracks of my fate, that you would love me with everything you had.”
“That you would never leave, until the end of the world.”
Ye Yichi shook her head.
Her fiery red lips curled into a lazy, bright smile.
“I was just briefly blinded by the Protagonist Halo. How could you take every word I said so seriously?”
One-sentence summary: I love your pride, and I love the mess you are in the mud.
Message: Even when trapped in a predicament, one should strive for self-improvement and realize their life’s value.
