He Sheng transmigrates into a domineering CEO novel as a cannon fodder character who is mute, visually impaired, and orphaned. Upon arrival, she is drowning in a swimming pool when a system alerts her that her remaining lifespan is less than two minutes. The only way to survive is to make physical contact with Fu Hanye, the novel's main villain. A dark, obsessive figure who will later descend into madness after the original He Sheng's death, Fu Hanye jumps into the pool to save her. When their skin touches, the system notifies her that her lifespan has increased by five minutes. After surfacing, He Sheng clings to him desperately, gaining more time with each contact before collapsing from exhaustion.
When He Sheng awakens in a bed, she learns the full scope of her predicament. The original owner was Fu Hanye's childhood sweetheart who lost her parents and her ability to speak and see clearly after a car accident. Fu Hanye's father protected her inheritance and took her into the Fu household. The original He Sheng became fragile and withdrawn, eventually pulling out her own oxygen tube in the hospital, an act that triggered Fu Hanye's transformation into the ruthless villain described in the novel. The system explains that the current Fu Hanye has not yet reached his final dark form and that He Sheng is his white moonlight. However, extending her life requires constant physical contact with him, which terrifies her given his obsessive nature.
With less than five minutes remaining, He Sheng forces herself to seek out Fu Hanye. She finds him after he returns from the pool incident and clings to him, rapidly accumulating lifespan. She discovers that different forms of contact yield different amounts of time, with prolonged contact during sleep proving most efficient. Over the following days, she learns to navigate her dangerous situation by maintaining proximity to Fu Hanye while avoiding his growing possessiveness. He begins to notice her changed behavior, finding her clinginess unexpectedly comforting compared to the distant girl she used to be.
Fu Hanye's father, Fu Jingnian, discovers them sleeping together and confronts his son, threatening him if he harms He Sheng. Fu Hanye responds with cold defiance, revealing his rebellious nature. Meanwhile, He Sheng encounters Shen Yao, the novel's female lead, who has come to recruit Fu Hanye for a university group project. Fu Hanye treats Shen Yao with dismissive hostility, consistent with his character in the original story.
When Fu Hanye attempts to leave Jing City by plane, He Sheng chases him to the airport, physically clinging to him to prevent his departure. This public display shocks those around them and marks a turning point in their relationship. Fu Hanye begins to view her differently, recording her playing the violin in his garden and uploading the video to a short video platform under the account Miss Rabbit's Daily Life. The video gains significant attention, introducing the possibility of Fu Hanye becoming a content creator.
He Sheng learns that the He family, who exploited the original owner, is planning to seize her inheritance. Her uncle's family has been scheming since her parents' deaths, and they now invite her to her grandfather's seventieth birthday banquet under the pretense of reconciliation. He Sheng decides to attend with Fu Hanye as her protector. She prepares a gift specifically designed to insult the family: a grandfather clock, which in Chinese culture symbolizes death when given to elders. At the banquet, she presents the clock precisely at midnight, causing outrage. When her cousin He Kun demands she hand over the company, He Sheng slaps him, followed by slapping his mother Liu Jingjing, who had previously attempted to murder the original owner by cutting her oxygen tube. Fu Hanye intervenes physically, kicking He Lang across the room.
The incident strengthens the bond between He Sheng and Fu Hanye. He begins sleeping in her bed regularly, claiming it helps him rest. He Sheng accumulates lifespan through nightly contact while maintaining her independence. The story establishes a pattern where He Sheng must balance her survival needs against Fu Hanye's growing obsession, all while navigating the dangerous He family and the looming threat of the novel's original plot.
