Jiang Muyu transmigrated into a book, becoming a cannon-fodder supporting character in a palace-intrigue novel. At four, she is poisoned and left mute; at five, she loses her mother; at six, her entire family is wiped out.
“Yikes~”
Four-year-old Jiang Muyu counts the days she has left on her fingers…
“Two months until my eldest sister, whose grace is as beautiful as an orchid and whose talent rivals the immortals, is poisoned and disfigured by her husband’s concubine, then dumped in a beggars’ den.
“Six months until my refined and gentle second brother is sent to his grave with a cup of poison, and Mother dies after lingering in bed with an illness…
“Two years until the new emperor takes the throne and my politically neutral father is sentenced to death by being torn apart by chariots.
“My dashing third brother, a spirited young gentleman of the Jiang family, is spoiled rotten by his stepmother into a tyrannical brat, then beheaded at the western market…
“Heavens! What kind of awful book is this?!” Jiang Muyu roars.
She’s cannon fodder! What?! The head honcho of the cannon fodder is still slacking off?!
Jiang Muyu decides to whip the cannon fodder into shape and protect her whole family!
Help, she really doesn’t want to hear all this gossip!
Wait… What?!
The emperor’s destined imperial fate was stolen?!
The empress is a stand-in for the emperor’s one true love?!
The most favored consort is actually a married woman in disguise?!
Her sister is her master’s beloved?!
These shocking revelations are too much for her to swallow in one bite!
[The female lead’s love interest appears later]
