The Substitute Canary

Guide to Conquering the Blackened Male Antagonist

B-list screenwriter Lin Xiaoman is bound by a mysterious system after ruining the blackened ending of male antagonist Gu Sihan in her script *Abyss of Power*. She transmigrates as Gu’s personal assistant—the “accomplice” who would be sent to prison by him in the original plot. Now, Gu, once a gentle man, has fully blackened into a cold-blooded tycoon controlling the city’s economy, executing his revenge plan for his family’s massacre with sickening calm. Lin must survive his tests and schemes while secretly winning him over: hiding his revenge list, bringing warm milk for his nightmares, even taking a knife for him… But when Gu holds the script fragment she dropped, his tenderness turns cold instantly: “You seem to know my past very well?” Caught between the task of conquering the blackened antagonist and the risk of identity exposure, Lin struggles between lies and sincerity—unaware that the cold-blooded man has already crossed her name off his revenge list.
