Meng Shaoyu is transported into a tragic historical romance novel as the fake heiress and older sister of the heroine, the male lead’s beloved.
After the real heiress returns, the male lead torments Shaoyu in every way, taking her blood every day to use as medicine for the heroine.
In the end, he even sends her to assassinate the emperor, only for her to be stabbed to death on her wedding night by the supposedly frail emperor, who has been hiding his true nature.
When Shaoyu first arrives, it’s her wedding night. The emperor, who has been playing the pig to eat the tiger, is lying on the bed, just an inch away from the knife in her hand.
She and Murong Xun lock eyes.
“Why hasn’t my beloved consort made her move?”
Shaoyu immediately drops to her knees and presents the dagger with both hands.
“Your Majesty, you’ve misunderstood. I’m not trying to kill you. I recently acquired a fine dagger and came to present it to you as a wedding gift for us both!”
Murong Xun is about to make his move when he suddenly hears the woman’s inner thoughts:
[Please let me go. I’m just a fake heiress forced to marry in my brother-in-law’s place, sob.]
[He took my blood for the real heiress to drink, then poisoned me and forced me to kill you.]
[There’s something wrong with the incense here. It makes him short-tempered and murderous. How can I persuade him to stop using it?]
Murong Xun: ?
As Shaoyu keeps grumbling to herself, she realizes that the villainous emperor seems to have changed.
He has gone from a bloodthirsty ruler to a wise and benevolent emperor.
And she, once branded a wicked consort, has become the virtuous empress adored by the entire court!
The scumbag male lead and the real heiress kneel below the throne, gazing at Shaoyu in the arms of the man seated above them. Their voices are barely audible as they say, “Greetings, Your Majesty’s sister-in-law.”
Palace servants bring in dozens of wooden tubs and set them before the heroine.
Murong Xun says coldly:
“I hear my beloved consort’s sister is fond of blood. I’ve prepared fresh blood from pigs, ducks, cattle, sheep, deer, and a dozen other animals. Drink your fill.”
It's really beautiful, I finished it in one go [Sending my heart]
