Qin Yangyang, a woman who died in poverty after a life of struggling with unemployment and an unpopular design degree, transmigrates into the body of a supporting female character in a CEO romance novel titled The Runaway Bride's Sweet Love. In the original story, the villainous substitute bride is destined to be discarded after six months when the true female lead returns. Instead of following the tragic script, Qin Yangyang binds herself to a system that rewards her for causing the male lead, Ji Jingxiu, to experience "persona collapse." Her goal is simple: endure the six-month arrangement, accumulate wealth, and leave with enough money to live comfortably. Ji Jingxiu is portrayed as a cold, ruthless, and emotionless CEO who views his political marriage with indifference, caring only that the bride is not the original intended partner. Upon arriving at the Ji estate on their wedding night, Qin Yangyang discovers that the system provides a visual interface showing Ji Jingxiu's emotional state, which is currently dominated by mockery, indifference, and nonchalance. Rather than acting the part of the heartbroken wife, she immediately capitalizes on her new wealth by hiring twenty muscular male dancers for her wedding night, shocking the household staff and bewildering Ji Jingxiu when he returns home early from work. This outrageous behavior triggers the first significant persona collapse, earning her two million yuan. The incident leaves Ji Jingxiu deeply unsettled, as his expectation of a weeping, submissive bride is completely subverted by her joyous and chaotic celebration. Determined to maximize her earnings, Qin Yangyang seeks part-time work and secures a job at Dreamland Amusement Park, owned by Ji Jingxiu's company. Assigned to a notoriously ugly frog mascot costume that scares children away, she uses her design skills to modify the outfit into an adorable character. Her transformation turns the unpopular attraction into a viral sensation, drawing massive crowds and boosting the park's revenue. During the event, she encounters a aggressive stray cat known as "Dick Cat" that has plagued the park for months. Qin Yangyang physically subdues the cat in a dramatic battle that is filmed and shared online, further increasing her fame. When Ji Jingxiu witnesses the fight and sees Qin Yangyang's face revealed beneath the mascot head, his composure cracks again, resulting in additional financial rewards for her. She adopts the cat, naming it Zhaocai, and negotiates a lucrative contract with LK Group to design the park's official mascot, securing a seven-figure payment. Her success attracts the attention of her father, Qin Heping, who had previously estranged himself from her. Their relationship begins to heal as he expresses concern over her working multiple jobs, unaware that she is doing so for profit rather than necessity. Qin Yangyang also navigates high-society social gatherings, where she shocks traditional wealthy wives by openly discussing her wild wedding night and her pragmatic view of marriage. She confronts Yu Yuezhi, a rival suitor of Ji Jingxiu, with blunt honesty that leaves the antagonist speechless. Meanwhile, she applies her business acumen to save her father's failing supermarket branch, redesigning the layout and atmosphere to attract customers. As she continues to interact with Ji Jingxiu, her unconventional behavior and financial independence consistently disrupt his stoic persona. The system continues to register frequent collapses, generating a steady stream of income. Qin Yangyang finds herself not only accumulating wealth but also rediscovering her passion for design and her family bonds, all while maintaining a strategic distance from the cold CEO who is increasingly confused by her actions. The story follows her journey as she rewrites her fate, turning a doomed supporting role into a period of personal and financial empowerment, while Ji Jingxiu struggles to understand the woman who treats their marriage as a business transaction rather than a romantic entanglement.
