Could You Go Easier on Me? [Transmigration]

Su Youtian, a bestselling romance novelist, finds herself transmigrated into her own novel, 《A Fresh Wife at Home: CEO, Don’t Spoil Me Too Much!》, assuming the identity of Sheng Xia, a supporting villainess destined for a miserable end. The story begins with Su Youtian suffering from a hangover at a construction site, where she encounters Yuan Wei, the novel’s male lead, who has just been released from prison and is working manual labor. Su Youtian is terrified because she knows that in the original plot, Sheng Xia will humiliate Yuan Wei here, setting off a chain of events that leads to her own downfall. Her situation is complicated by Yin Shan, a seemingly timid girl who is actually a scheming strategist and the novel’s ultimate final boss. Yin Shan encourages Sheng Xia’s destructive behavior, but Su Youtian attempts to deviate from the script by refusing to confront Yuan Wei. However, a "Self-Destruction System" forces Su Youtian to follow the plot. The system issues missions that require her to assault Yuan Wei, threatening erasure if she fails. In a moment of panic, Su Youtian slaps Yuan Wei but then dramatically feigns being the wronged party, crying and accusing him of heartlessness. This unexpected performance confuses Yuan Wei, who does not retaliate as expected. Instead, he reveals that they never actually broke up in high school, leaving Su Youtian bewildered. The system warns her that her deviations are dangerous, but she is forced to continue down the path of the original plot. The story progresses to a vacation resort where Shen Haolin, a rich second-generation heir and cannon fodder character, invites Su Youtian. Shen Haolin is obsessed with Su Youtian and despises Yuan Wei, planning to humiliate him to push the plot forward. Su Youtian tries to avoid Yuan Wei, wrapping herself in heavy clothing to hide her identity, but the system forces her into interactions. At the resort, Yuan Wei is working as a staff member. Shen Haolin and his friends plan to kick Yuan Wei into the lake to humiliate him, a key event in the novel that fuels Yuan Wei’s resentment and eventual rise to power. Su Youtian is trapped between her desire to protect Yuan Wei and the system’s demand that she complete the plot. She brings various concealed weapons, including a stun device and pepper spray, hoping to survive the upcoming disaster. The narrative highlights the tension between Su Youtian’s modern sensibilities and the rigid, often cruel, plot points she must endure. She observes Yuan Wei’s kindness, such as his care for a stray dog and his neighbor, which contrasts with the villainous role she is forced to play. The story sets the stage for further conflict as Su Youtian navigates the dangerous dynamics between the male lead, the scheming Yin Shan, and the jealous Shen Haolin, all while trying to survive the system’s deadly missions.
