Xiao Xi never expected to die after binge-reading her favorite novel—
nor did she expect to wake up inside it.

Transmigrated into the body of a beautiful but doomed D-list actress, Xiao Xi becomes the very cannon fodder who dies in the first three chapters.
Her new life should have ended there.

Except this time… she wakes up with a mysterious System, the ability to steal luck, and the memories of a future that was never hers.

Worse—
the man fated to die before the novel even begins, the cold and untouchable CEO Gu Yanzhou, is suddenly alive… and reborn.

Two broken destinies collide.
One was supposed to vanish.
One was supposed to never exist.

And now both lives are spiraling off the original plot in ways the world cannot contain.

Thrown into a viral reality show, Xiao Xi becomes an overnight superstar while dodging jealous rivals, malicious systems, alternate timelines, and a corrupted entity obsessed with possessing her soul.

But through every trial, Gu Yanzhou stays by her side—
a man who remembers death,
who refuses to lose her again,
and who silently, fiercely, desperately loves her.

As Xiao Xi evolves from cannon fodder to Guardian, she discovers her true power:
not the System,
not the luck she steals,
but the love that can rewrite worlds.

Together, they will defy fate.
Fight corrupted systems.
Break every timeline.
And claim a future strong enough to hold both their hearts.

A future filled with passion, war, healing…
and eventually,
a family of their own.

A story of rebirth, power, destiny—and the love that conquers it all.

The system core screamed a continuous, high-pitched digital sound as the hacker's corrupted form stretched across the entire digital sky, dominating the void like a monstrous, self-aware nightmare.


Black static, the literal ink of deletion, dripped from him. 


Every single drop that struck the white floor beneath them instantly dissolved the surface into nothingness.


Gu Yanzhou, his form still flickering with unstable code, grabbed Xiao Xi tightly and pulled her close.


Shen Yichen, the original male lead, stepped forward without hesitation, his golden protagonist aura exploding from him like a miniature sun, pushing back the oppressive darkness.


Ling Qiuyue floated gracefully beside him, wrapped in soft white light, her hands raised in defense.


The hacker roared, his voice a chorus of broken code.


"YOU DEFIED THE SCRIPT! YOU ARE THE VIRUS!


He unleashed a massive, cascading wave of black static corruption.


Shen swung his arm with immense force—golden energy collided with the static in a cataclysmic digital shockwave.


Ling extended her hand, forming a shimmering, temporary barrier of white light that held off the front of the corruption… but only barely.


 Her face was already straining with the effort.


Xiao Xi, clinging to Gu, felt her System orb vibrating with terminal warnings.


[Integrity: 17%. System core failure imminent.]


Xiao Xi clutched her chest, the despair palpable.


Her System whispered the only path forward:


[Host must unlock final ability: World Rewrite.]


Xiao Xi swallowed, her throat dry with fear. "How? I can't access that power myself!"


[…Emotional anchor required. Full, unconditional merging of fate initiated by the Primary Variable.]


[Gu Yanzhou must initiate the final link.]


Xiao Xi looked up at Gu in shock, her eyes filling with renewed terror—not for herself, but for him.


He lifted her chin gently, his eyes filled with a powerful, singular devotion that transcended the collapsing reality.


"I'm right here, Xiao Xi. Whatever the cost."


And the dying world trembled, waiting for the choice.
