Modern besties Luo Wan and Xu Zhixia ranted about the absurd "death-seeking plot" of cannon fodders while binging a clichéd ancient tragic novel—only to wake up as those exact two cannon fodders: Luo Wan becomes the "ex-fiancée doomed to be executed" by the villainous male lead Gu Zhao, and Xu Zhixia turns into the "maid who has to take a sword for the female lead." In the original plot, they would be used as pawns by Gu Zhao and die. Determined to fight back, Luo Wan offers to marry Gu Zhao and help him bring down the Regent, while Xu Zhixia secretly cares for Gu Zhao's terminally ill mother. They soon discover Gu Zhao's coldness is a mask—he had to pretend to be ruthless to protect his mother, who was poisoned by the Regent. Using their modern wit, the besties help Gu Zhao get revenge. Luo Wan falls in love with Gu Zhao, Xu Zhixia is pursued by Gu Zhao's secret guard leader, and together they rewrite the novel's BE ending to a sweet HE.
