The protagonist who transmigrated into a novel. Originally a modern woman reading a novel at an airport VIP lounge, she woke up in the body of the novel's vicious cannon-fodder villainess who shares her name. In the original story, this Xia Shisheng was described as seductively beautiful, flamboyant, arrogant, and constantly causing trouble. She bullied her stepsister Ji Jiaojiao, insulted her stepmother, and frequently demanded to break off her engagement to a military officer. Her father coaxed her into giving the engagement token to her stepsister, then secretly signed her up to be sent to the countryside. There she suffered horribly and eventually committed suicide. After transmigration, the new Xia Shisheng firmly refused to give up her engagement, slapped her stepfather when he tried to hit her, and stabbed his hand through with chopsticks. She is decisive, ruthless when provoked, and refuses to let Ji Jiaojiao benefit from her.
