After Transmigrating Into a Book, the Male Side Character Begged to Sleep in My Arms Every Night

Qiao Yanyan, a twenty-two-year-old woman who had recently graduated from university and purchased her own home and car, dies in a severe car accident. Upon regaining consciousness, she finds herself in an unfamiliar bedroom beside a handsome man who calls her wife. Confused and disoriented, she discovers that her phone is not her own and that her original number is out of service. The man, Fu Shiyuan, behaves with the innocence and simplicity of a child, revealing that they have been married for twenty-two days. Through his dialogue and the wedding photo in the room, Qiao Yanyan realizes she has transmigrated into a romance novel she had read recently. She has become the evil female supporting character who shares her name, married to the male supporting character, Fu Shiyuan, who is described as wealthy but mentally impaired due to a car accident three years prior.

In the original plot, the evil Qiao Yanyan marries Fu Shiyuan only to get close to his younger brother, Fu Shixu, the male lead. She attempts to seduce him repeatedly, leading to her abuse of Fu Shiyuan, which causes him to become withdrawn and silent. Ultimately, Fu Shixu kills her for her malicious actions against his brother and the female lead, Su An’an. Knowing this grim fate, Qiao Yanyan resolves to change her destiny. She decides to live well and treat Fu Shiyuan with kindness, rejecting the original character’s cruel behavior. Her first act of compassion is inviting him to sleep in the bed instead of the sofa, a gesture that surprises him and begins to shift their dynamic.

Qiao Yanyan’s integration into the Fu family is marked by her genuine care for Fu Shiyuan. She learns that he is not entirely devoid of intelligence, as he remembers details about her life and school. When they visit her aunt’s home, she is welcomed warmly by her aunt, Ning Yi, and her cousin, Su An’an, the female lead. The atmosphere is initially tense due to Fu Shixu’s hostility toward Qiao Yanyan, stemming from a previous incident where he struck her with a palm strike after she attempted to seduce him. However, the new Qiao Yanyan remains calm and polite, confusing Fu Shixu and causing him to suspect that she might have amnesia or a change in personality.

A significant turning point occurs when Qiao Yanyan and Fu Shiyuan go out together, including a trip to her aunt’s house and a movie outing with the entire group. During these interactions, Fu Shiyuan displays deep affection and clinginess toward Qiao Yanyan, treating her with the devotion of a child who has finally found acceptance. Qiao Yanyan, in turn, protects him from harm, such as when she tends to a thorn wound on his hand. Her kindness earns the trust of Su An’an, who becomes concerned about Qiao Yanyan’s health after noticing a bruise on her neck. The group’s dynamics shift as Fu Shixu and Su An’an begin to develop romantic feelings for each other, a subplot that Qiao Yanyan observes with amusement.

The story continues to unfold as Qiao Yanyan navigates her new life, balancing her desire to avoid the original plot’s tragedies with her growing attachment to Fu Shiyuan. She joins Fu Shiyuan and his friends for a mahjong game, where she displays unexpected skill, guided by Fu Shiyuan’s advice. This scene highlights the deepening bond between them, as Fu Shiyuan supports her and they share moments of joy and laughter. Meanwhile, Fu Shixu remains wary of Qiao Yanyan, monitoring her actions to ensure she does not revert to her former malicious self. The narrative sets the stage for Qiao Yanyan to redefine her role within the story, moving away from the villainess archetype toward a more compassionate and integrated member of the family.

As the holiday progresses, Qiao Yanyan’s relationship with Fu Shiyuan strengthens, characterized by mutual care and understanding. She accepts her place in this fictional world and commits to living a fulfilling life, free from the constraints of the original plot. The presence of her aunt’s family provides a supportive environment, contrasting with her dysfunctional background in the real world. Qiao Yanyan’s journey involves not only avoiding death but also finding genuine connections and happiness with Fu Shiyuan, who offers her a sense of belonging and security she never experienced before. The story explores themes of redemption, second chances, and the transformative power of kindness, as Qiao Yanyan rewrites her fate through her actions and choices.
