After my simple-minded younger sister’s engagement was broken, she threw herself against a stone pillar. But I knew that someone from another world would come and live in her place.
She would become the heroine of this world, dazzling everyone and winning fame beneath the heavens.
I, meanwhile, would lose my beloved to her, see my reputation for talent destroyed, and end as a bitter, hateful woman brought to a wretched ruin.
She was the triumphant transmigrated heroine of an old-fashioned romance novel.
I was its vicious supporting woman.
But I refused to accept that fate.
This time, I wiped the blood from her brow, stood between her and the crowd, and became the first warmth she felt in this strange world.
