Hui Ying found herself unexpectedly transported into her sister's favorite book, "Among Love and Thorns," where she took on the role of Shu Qi, the wealthiest extra in the story. For as long as she could remember, she had admired the male lead, Jun Hao, who was her favorite character in the book. However, she always felt that the heroine arrived far too late in the narrative and contributed nothing meaningful to Jun Hao's journey—she merely cried and begged for help without ever taking action. Hui Ying also despised characters like Fen Fang, who she viewed as weak and ineffective. Determined to claim her own happiness, she resolved to win Jun Hao's heart before Fen Fang had a chance to step into the story. With a fierce resolve, Shu Qi reflected, "I've never been the type to play by the rules. If I want something, I'm going to take it for myself."
