Song Ci’s bad mood starts with a novel.
After staying up late reading, she becomes increasingly irritated with a supporting character who somehow shares her exact name. The woman spends the entire story making terrible decisions, alienating nearly everyone around her, and stumbling from one disaster to another. By the time Song Ci reaches the ending, she is convinced that no character has ever worked harder to ruin her own life.
Then she wakes up as her.
Suddenly, the people from the novel are no longer words on a page. The cold younger brother who avoids her, the family members keeping their distance, and the familiar faces she remembers from the story are all standing right in front of her. Worse, most of them already have plenty of reasons not to like her.
The original Song Ci had been busy creating problems long before this point.
Cleaning up the mess turns out to be much harder than expected.
Her younger brother, Song Yujin, treats every act of kindness with suspicion. Relatives seem more comfortable expecting trouble than good intentions. Even ordinary conversations can become awkward once people realize she is suddenly behaving like a completely different person.
Not that Song Ci has many alternatives.
Pretending everything is fine would be easier if she did not know where certain choices eventually lead. Unfortunately, some memories are difficult to ignore.
Then there is Lu Gan.
According to the story she read, getting involved with him should bring nothing but headaches. Yet the real person is far less predictable than the version she remembers from the novel, which creates a new problem every time she tries to keep her distance.
As the days pass, Song Ci slowly discovers that life inside the story is not following the neat version she once read. People have their own reasons for doing things, relationships are more complicated than they appeared on paper, and changing one small decision often creates consequences she never saw coming.
For someone trying to avoid trouble, Song Ci keeps finding herself right in the middle of it.
