After Transmigrating into Books All the Male Leads Can't Live Without Me

Lu Hui was a terminally ill twenty-year-old actress who entered a transmigration system to survive. The system offered her a chance at life in exchange for completing tragic "bad ending" scripts, where she played female supporting roles destined for suffering. For years, she endured every humiliation, betrayal, and physical torment required by the plots, serving as a silent, devoted simp to various male leads until her death in each world. Her final task involved donating a kidney to save the male lead's first love, only to be abandoned and left to die of kidney failure herself. Upon completing all tasks, she was granted a new life and returned to her original world, where she had only lost a month of time.

Back in reality, Lu Hui was a struggling, blacklisted actress living in poverty. Her reputation had been ruined by her stepbrother, Sheng Zhaoming, and his influencer girlfriend, who spread false rumors that Lu Hui was a homewrecker. Despite the public hatred and professional obscurity, Lu Hui approached her career with a detached, pragmatic attitude. She took any role available, no matter how small, and refused to engage in the emotional drama that had previously defined her. During a filming job, she encountered a man who bore an uncanny resemblance to Xie Ran, the male lead from her first transmigration mission. Unbeknownst to her, Xie Ran had crossed over from his fictional world into reality, driven by an obsessive regret and longing for her after her death in the story.

Xie Ran, now the CEO of a powerful entertainment conglomerate, had spent months searching for Lu Hui after her death in the novel. When he saw a viral video of her joking about being his fiancée, he realized she was alive. He tracked her down to the Sheng family home, where Lu Hui had moved back in after her stepmother pressured her. Upon seeing her, Xie Ran broke down, embracing her tightly and crying, revealing the depth of his remorse. However, Lu Hui, traumatized by her past experiences in the system, claimed to have amnesia and treated him as a stranger. This rejection devastated Xie Ran, but he refused to give up, determined to win her back despite her cold demeanor.

Meanwhile, Lu Hui's acting skills, honed through decades of intense emotional labor in the transmigration system, began to show. She auditioned for a role in a major web drama, delivering a performance so powerful that it stunned the directors and cast. Her career started to turn around as she gained recognition for her talent, contrasting sharply with the "dead fish eyes" criticism she had received before. She also faced off against her stepbrother Sheng Zhaoming, who was confused by her sudden indifference and lack of interest in his approval. Unlike before, she mocked him openly and showed no desire for his attention, which unsettled him and sparked a strange sense of loss.

The narrative weaves between Lu Hui's professional resurgence and her complex interactions with the men from her past. Xie Ran continues to pursue her, struggling with her feigned ignorance and his own guilt. Sheng Zhaoming, initially dismissive, finds himself increasingly intrigued by her transformation. Lu Hui remains focused on her career and survival, using her acting as a shield against the emotional turmoil of both men. The story sets the stage for a confrontation with her abusive family and a potential romance with the regretful CEO, as she navigates a world where the fictional characters she once served now pursue her in reality.
