Transmigrated as the Male Lead's Vicious First Love and Kissed Until Crying

Song Tang, a woman from a prestigious wealthy family, transmigrates into the body of the vicious ex-girlfriend in a CEO romance novel she had read the night before. The original Song Tang is the nouveau riche daughter of Song Zhenkun and the girlfriend of Lin Yanchen, the cold and indifferent young heir of the elite Lin family. Upon waking in a banquet hall, Song Tang discovers she has inherited the original owner’s reputation for wearing heavy, gaudy makeup and behaving obsessively. With only half a month remaining before the scheduled breakup that triggers the novel’s tragic plot, she resolves to survive by waiting for Lin Yanchen to end the relationship so she can collect the promised breakup settlement and save her father’s failing business.

At the banquet, Song Tang confronts Xuan Xinyang, a high-ranking socialite who mocks her appearance. Instead of shrinking away as the original owner would have, Song Tang sharply retorts, pointing out Xuan Xinyang’s bad breath and poor manners. When Xuan Xinyang attempts to splash wine on her, Song Tang cleverly uses a serving tray to deflect the liquid back onto the socialite, humiliating her in front of the crowd. This incident marks a dramatic shift in her public image, drawing the attention of Lin Yanchen and his friends, who note that she appears completely different—calm, beautiful without makeup, and unyielding.

Back at home, Song Tang learns from overhearing a phone call that the Song family is in severe financial distress, owing fifty million in overdue goods payments. She discovers her account holds only one hundred thousand dollars, having been squandered by the original owner on luxury goods and bar tabs. Determined to prevent the family’s bankruptcy and the subsequent tragedy where her father dies and she commits suicide, Song Tang begins selling her collection of limited-edition handbags. She successfully raises nearly six million dollars in a single day, impressing even Lin Yanchen’s mother, who wonders if Song Tang is selling bags to help her family.

Song Tang attempts to initiate an early breakup to secure the settlement money sooner, but Lin Yanchen refuses, citing a bet with his friends that requires him to date her for the full month. Frustrated, she attends a karaoke gathering hosted by Cen Zhi, the original owner’s only genuine friend, hoping to speak with Lin Yanchen privately. At the venue, she encounters Qin Yuwei, a rival who tries to humiliate her by challenging her to sing a difficult song. Song Tang not only sings flawlessly but also turns the tables by challenging Qin Yuwei to sing an even more demanding piece, causing the rival to crack and flee in embarrassment.

After the gathering, Song Tang chases Lin Yanchen into the corridor to demand answers about the breakup, but he remains cold and dismissive, leaving her trapped in the relationship for the remaining days. Despite his indifference, Song Tang remains focused on her goal. She reconciles with Cen Zhi, vowing to cherish the friendship the original owner neglected. As she navigates the elite social circle, she balances her efforts to stabilize her father’s business with the urgent need to obtain the breakup funds, all while dealing with the growing curiosity and confusion of those around her, particularly Lin Yanchen, who finds himself unable to understand the transformed woman beside him.
