After the Psychopath Read Her Mind, the Doomed Wife Just Wants to Lie Low

Xu Shitong transmigrates into a book, becoming the cruel original wife of Prince Rui, the great villain in All the Princes Are Madly in Love with Me. The cold-faced villain tortures her with ten brutal punishments, then throws her into a snake pit to be devoured alive. The good news is, she transmigrates at just the right moment. The unhinged man has only just risen to power and hasn't had a chance to "reminisce" with her yet. The bad news is that her father and brother have been left in a truly wretched state by the original owner's terrible behavior. She inherits this mess straight away, and the family home is utterly destitute. What a nightmare! Most importantly, a bug in the transmigration process has exposed her inner thoughts! Xu Shitong comes up with a grand plan: 1. Care for him, cherish him, and move him, winning the unhinged man's favor. 2. Make money and improve life for the whole family. 3. Break into the circle of the capital's noblewomen and find plenty of powerful allies, so the unhinged man won't dare lay a hand on her. Xie Juntang: When you sold me to that pleasure boat, did you enjoy spending those fifty taels? Xu Shitong: I've always kept you in my thoughts. I saved those fifty taels, hoping to buy you back if I ever came across that pleasure boat again. I made these pastries with my own hands. I remember how much you love sweets. Inner thoughts: [If I weren't afraid you'd kill me, I wouldn't come visit you with that icy face of yours.] [Once this unhinged man gets over his hang-up and stops targeting me, a wonderful life is just around the corner.] [Actually, I spent the money on wine and women that very day. I absolutely can't tell him that. If this unhinged man finds out, won't he grind my bones to dust?] [What the heck? What's going on? Why did it suddenly get so cold!!!] Xie Juntang, you are my life! An optimistic, modern-minded heroine who values herself x a pessimistic, dull, free-spirited, aloof, taciturn hero from an enemy family
