[Transmigration into a book + ambitious heroine + sweet romance. At first, the leads each focus on their own pursuits; later, the heroine and hero fall deeply in love, while the second male lead’s love goes unreturned and a childhood friend plots against her]
Lin Shuzhou transmigrates into a book, only to find herself in the body of a villainess. A dream lets her glimpse what the villainess went through in her previous life.
Having transmigrated into her body, Lin Shuzhou may have to relive the villainess’s life and ultimately die a horrible death.
Unwilling to let those events happen again, Lin Shuzhou seeks an ally: the Prince Regent, who had come to the villainess’s aid when she fell into trouble.
Lin Shuzhou only wants to live well in the world she has transmigrated into. To do that, she needs an ally, but she can’t rely entirely on other people. She finds helpers and establishes the Baixiao Hall, eventually becoming the Prince Regent’s right-hand woman.
