She dies early in the -story,- after being poisoned by her husband Xu Zi Yan. But after she is killed, the author confronts her in a sort of comic book afterlife space and tells her that she will have the chance to be re-spawned.

She comes back to 'life,' but finds that becoming a 'goodie' isn't an easy task. Xu Zi Yan is still determined to wipe her out and conduct ghastly experiments on her body. And on top of it all, a number of other 'characters' in the story now have it in for her - including female characters who also want to be the main heroine. A number of other minor characters also block her way or plot her downfall. But as she spends more time with Xu Zi Yan - all the while trying to avoid his plans to destroy her - an unlikely bond begins to form between them. Will Cupid become her ally in Xia Yu Bing's bid to become the ultimate female lead.
