I’m Just a Passerby in a Qing Transmigration Novel

Su Nian was a travel streamer until an accident at sea left her yacht wrecked and her transmigrated into a minor character in a Qing-dynasty romance novel, where she landed in a deadly situation from the start. After barely escaping with her life, she planned to coast through life, keeping her head down and watching the drama unfold. But the principal consort insisted that she compete with the heroine for favor and status. As the saying goes, sometimes a careless act bears unexpected fruit. At first, Fourth Prince thought the girl was a bit slow, but she could eat, had a plump, prosperous-looking face, seemed cheerful, and looked like she’d bear sons. Out of respect for the principal consort, he couldn’t help but pay her a little extra attention. But later, he realized the girl knew quite a lot. She could make perfume, knew how to cook, and knew how to dress herself. Every time he saw her, she looked fresh and different. Before long, Hongli found himself hopelessly lost in her charms. At first: Hongli: “This girl seems like a good fit. She’ll do.” Su Nian: “Another day of being forced to work.” Later on: Hongli: “Why am I getting more and more addicted to her? One day apart feels like three autumns. And yet this girl is so oblivious and carefree. Why can’t she show me a little affection?” Su Nian: “Could you stop barging into my room all the time?”
