You want to use me as a stepping stone for your own fortune? I'll defy fate and change my destiny instead!

Lin Yu died the night before the famine escape finally ended — skinned and dismembered.

Only after death did she realize she had lived inside the pages of a storybook. Her entire family—more than a dozen people—had all died miserably, simply because they were the stepping stones that allowed the heroine, Lin Baozhen, to gain her fortune.

She herself had only been a tool, meant to help the heroine obtain her mysterious space artifact.

When her mother died in childbirth and her father met a tragic end, the heroine conveniently “found” a hundred taels of silver.
When her second uncle was framed and imprisoned, and her second sister was humiliated, the heroine “earned” the favor of a noble.
When her youngest uncle was torn apart by five horses, the heroine gained a grand mansion and fertile lands.

Each drop of blood, each death — all tied to Lin Baozhen’s so-called luck.

Reborn with full memory of her past, Lin Yu takes control of her fate.
Before the heroine can act, she binds the space to herself with a drop of blood, sees through the deceit, saves her parents, tears off the heroine’s mask of false virtue, and rewrites her family’s destiny.

She’ll stockpile supplies, survive the famine, and make sure this time — the fortunate one isn’t Lin Baozhen.
