In her previous life, Gu Jiaoyue died in the line of duty, thinking death would put an end to everything. Instead, she transmigrated into a book she had read, becoming a supporting character whose family had fallen into ruin after she lost in the struggle for imperial favor.
Refusing to give up, she vowed to change her family's fate by saving the crown prince, Xiao Jin, the male lead's rival.
Gu Jiaoyue had it all figured out. In this life, she had a good family background. If she saved the crown prince, the male lead, an ordinary prince, wouldn't be able to become emperor, and her family would be safe. Then she could spend the rest of her life lying around and taking it easy. Perfect.
But the crown prince Xiao Jin, who had died young in the book, had also learned of the future in a dream. He wanted revenge, but then he met a young woman he had never noticed in that dream.
No need to say more: you're going to be my crown princess!
Gu Jiaoyue: "Well, well. I thought of you as my boss, but you're not after my abilities or my family background. You just want me, is that it?"
But once you're caught up in the game, no one can easily escape. Gu Jiaoyue wants to lie back and take it easy, but something always happens to jolt her upright even when she's on her deathbed. So she'll just have to fight these evil forces to the bitter end!
More career than romance in the early chapters.
