Summary
Shen Ye is furious when a novel calls a scholar’s life of abuse a happy ending. Then she wakes inside it as the vicious supporting character destined to die at the hands of his tormentors. Instead of whipping Ling Zhao in the street, she wraps him in her cloak and fights back. Saving him means confronting a crown prince, a general, and a would-be regent, all while keeping her own family alive. But as her plans overturn the story, impossible accidents begin protecting the men she wants dead. Someone—or something—is determined to keep Ling Zhao trapped in the plot.
