Lin Qiao runs an international assassin syndicate and is one day from retiring on her own terms when she wakes up inside a trashy romance novel, cast as the throwaway wife who grovels at the feet of tycoon Li Tingzhou. The plan is simple: divorce him, play out the plot, go home. The plan dies the moment she realizes he can hear every thought in her head. So she plays the pampered heiress the script demands, and fights him to a standstill in a private war of nerve she never meant to make interesting for either of them.
