Daily Drama of a Transmigrated Side Character

Bai Susu, a hardworking woman from the modern world, unexpectedly transmigrates into the body of a character in a CEO romance novel. She finds herself inhabiting the role of the male lead Fu Chen’s fiancée, a disposable side character destined to die in a kidnapping incident while the male lead rescues the female lead, Su Yue. Aware of her impending doom as cannon fodder, Bai Susu resolves to survive by severing her engagement with Fu Chen and avoiding the original plot’s tragic events. Her new identity is that of a singer from a wealthy but declining family, plagued by a neglectful father, a manipulative stepmother, and a favored half-sister, Bai Qingqing, who is secretly undermining her.

Upon waking in her new body, Bai Susu navigates a hostile family environment where her father favors Bai Qingqing and dismisses her musical ambitions as disgraceful. Determined to secure her independence, she moves out into a high-end apartment, straining her savings but gaining freedom from her toxic household. Her primary goal is to meet with her grandfather, whose social connections sustain her family’s status, to formally dissolve the engagement with Fu Chen before the plot’s fatal kidnapping occurs. Meanwhile, Fu Chen, initially cold and distant, begins to show unexpected interest in her, inviting her to visit his grandfather and asserting that she remains his fiancée regardless of her wishes.

Bai Susu attempts to alter the storyline by interfering with the fated meeting between Fu Chen and Su Yue. At a birthday banquet, she tries to prevent Su Yue from drugging Fu Chen, but the plot seems to resist her efforts. In a chaotic turn, Su Yue accidentally enters Fu Chen’s hotel room and vomits on Bai Susu. Instead of the romantic encounter described in the novel, Fu Chen coldly orders Su Yue to be removed, inadvertently sabotaging the original romantic spark between the leads. This deviation marks the first significant crack in the predetermined narrative, though it also draws the attention of the second male lead, Zhuang Jin, who is infatuated with Su Yue.

Following the banquet incident, Bai Susu faces a smear campaign orchestrated by Su Yue’s backers, likely including the second male lead and her own step-sister. She is falsely accused of stepping on Su Yue’s dress during a performance, leading to public backlash and professional blacklisting. However, Fu Chen intervenes, using his influence to suppress the negative publicity and restore her reputation, revealing a protective instinct that contradicts his earlier aloofness. He demands a dinner with her as a form of repayment, further entangling their lives.

As Bai Susu tries to maintain distance, Fu Chen becomes increasingly persistent, insisting on accompanying her to meet his grandfather and declaring that their engagement cannot be broken. The story shifts from a simple survival narrative to a complex dynamic where Fu Chen’s feelings for Bai Susu begin to develop, challenging the original plot’s structure. Bai Susu must now navigate not only her family’s internal strife and the entertainment industry’s dangers but also the growing emotional complications with a male lead who refuses to let her go, forcing her to adapt to a reality where the story no longer follows its original script.
