In the "Day and Night" high-end club.
Ava Clark had just stepped into the 1014 private room when she was seized by two burly men, who escorted her to the grand crystal platform in the center of the room.
Then, like an auction item, she was pushed onto it, seated on a high stool, and subjected to the scrutinizing gazes of the men and women within the box.
A man named "Alex" leaped onto the stage, brandishing a camera with a sinuous gait as he circled around Ava. Her stunningly beautiful visage was cast onto the massive screen behind her, eliciting a satisfied smile from him.
With an excited voice, he introduced her to the crowd: "Tonights merchandise is arguably the finest weve had since Day and Night opened its doors. Her looks, figure, and aura, I assure you, are absolutely worth every penny for those present here to splurge on. Missing out would be a great regret!"
"What merchandise? What are you doing?!"
Ava was utterly confused, but it didnt take a genius to see the situation was not in her favor.
Unable to break free, she forced herself to stay calm and inquired, "Who are you? This room was booked by my friends; theyll be here any moment. You better let me go!"
No one responded to her, the only thing she noticed was the glaringly bright lights overhead and the surrounding dimness. This contrast made Ava feel utterly insecure and desperate to flee.
But her shoulders were firmly held, rendering her immobile.
Below, men dressed in fine suits, seemingly accustomed to such scenes, puffed on cigars and sipped wine, their eyes gleaming with desire.
"Ill offer 2 million. Shes a fair piece; Ill take her for a bit of amusement," a man with the surname "Huang" opened with a conservative bid.
"Ill bid 5 million. If Mr. Huang is just after some fun, Id like to take over. Im feeling inclined to pamper this beauty," another man, puffing on a cigar, said with a glint in his eyes. "Ill up it to 10 million. I have a significant bid coming up next month, and taking her along will ensure my success."
No sooner had he finished speaking than another voice pursued the bid: "15 million. A merchandise of such caliber kept outside, thats what you call a true haven of tenderness."
...
Wait! Day and Night, Alex, merchandise, auction...
This shockingly familiar scenario, wasnt it from the trashy novel shed been ranting about to her best friend just before entering the room?
Avas chest constricted in realization!
Damn it! She had actually transposed into a book on her way to an appointment鈥攁nd into the body of the character who shared her name but was laden with a tragic fate.
The book Ava had been criticizing was a pseudo-incestuous, ancient melodramatic novel titled "Mr. Fus Bone-Melting Affection." The supporting female character "Ava Clark" in the book was a quintessential beauty, madness, and tragedy.
The author had set her up in the "Thornton" family, known for its hereditary mental illness and alluring beauty. Each generation of daughters was more beautiful than the last, but their fates were increasingly grim, none living past the age of twenty-five.
They either succumbed to mental illness and committed suicide or were forsaken by unfaithful lovers and took their own lives...
In the end, they all met the same fate, turning to ash.
"Ava Clark" was abandoned by her biological father before birth, and her mother committed suicide due to mental illness when she was five, leaving her undeniably sent to an orphanage.
Later, after her college entrance exams, her biological father, "Anthony Easton", suddenly found her, took her back to the affluent Easton household, where she not only made up for the missing paternal love for eighteen years but also unexpectedly received affection and care from her stepmother and stepsister.
Believing she had found happiness, "Ava Clark" was unaware that it was all a trap and an illusion. The Anthony familys emotional and material investments were all to auction her off in a few years for a huge sum to fill the massive void in "Anthony Entertainment".
Tonight, "Ava Clark" was to be bought by a nouveau riche with the surname Huang, suffer humiliation and torment, escape on a rainy night, and finally be rescued by the male lead, Leo Grant, by a series of mishaps, becoming his pawn.
But "Pawn Ava" fell for Leo Grant and even crazily made a move against Leo Grants long-lost sweetheart who had finally returned to the country, ultimately being heartlessly abandoned by Leo Grant.
Having offended too many people while being a pawn and without Leo Grants protection, "Ava Clark" was quickly captured, tortured to death, and her body thrown into the deep sea.
At the time, Ava, upon seeing the fate of the supporting female character with the same name, was so angry that she threw her phone off the bed, cursing the author and the male lead for their inhumanity.
But now that shes here, she must not let "Ava Clark" follow the original plot!
She has to rewrite the book to change her destiny and save the supporting character herself!
