Ran Weiyi, a twenty-two-year-old orphan raised by a traditional Chinese medicine master, possessed a unique natural fragrance that calmed the mind and soothe the spirit. After finishing the novel The Mad Dog's Cage, she wept for the male lead Ye Mochen, a powerful but poisoned man who died alone after being betrayed by the original female lead. When she clicked a mysterious system prompt asking if she wanted to save him, she was transported into the novel world, inheriting the body of an orphan with SSS-level beauty and the same calming fragrance.
The system, named Doudou, informed her that Ye Mochen's Abhorrence Value toward the world had reached 90%, and if it hit 100%, the entire world would collapse. Ye Mochen was suffering from a slow-acting neurotoxin that caused periodic madness and violent episodes, during which he locked himself in an iron cage in the basement. The original female lead, Chen Caiwen, had been reborn and chosen to stay away from him, leaving Ran Weiyi as the only person who could intervene.
Ran Weiyi immediately traveled to the Ye family estate and entered the confinement room where Ye Mochen was having an episode. Despite his bloodshot crimson eyes and frenzied state, her fragrance naturally calmed him. She held his blood-stained hand and told him she had come to save him. His Abhorrence Value dropped to 89.9%, and his affection value unlocked at 10%. She convinced Jiang Pei, Ye Mochen's loyal subordinate, to give her the keys and entered the cage. Inside, she embraced the trembling, wounded man, telling him she would stay and love him. His Abhorrence Value fell to 85%, and his affection rose to 20%.
Ran Weiyi treated his wounds, disinfected them with liquor, and applied ointment. Ye Mochen, who never showed pain during previous injuries, gripped her arm tightly and allowed her to blow on his wounds. She then performed acupuncture detoxification, inserting dozens of silver needles that expelled black toxic blood. The procedure succeeded, and his Abhorrence Value dropped to 80%. She declared that from then on, his life belonged to her, and he agreed, asking if she was also his. She accepted, and he interlocked his fingers with hers, marking her as his possession. His possessiveness value rose to 15%.
At breakfast, Ye Mochen fed Ran Weiyi by hand, publicly declaring their bond. His possessiveness reached 16%. Ran Weiyi began preparing a medicinal bath and gathering rare herbs from her prescription. That night, Ye Mochen suffered nightmares, and she comforted him until he fell asleep, whispering that he was safe. He pleaded not to be left, and she promised she would never go.
The next morning, Ye Mochen woke to find Ran Weiyi still holding his hand. His Abhorrence Value fell to 79%, and his affection rose to 22%. He massaged her numb hand and then deliberately interlaced their fingers, increasing his possessiveness to 15%. Throughout these events, Ran Weiyi worked to cure his poison while navigating the dangerous world of the novel, knowing that the original female lead and other enemies still posed threats. Her goal was to reduce Ye Mochen's Abhorrence Value to zero and prevent the world's collapse, all while healing his body and heart.
