The Fake Princess's Married Life

This novel is mainly for people who have experienced abuse or bullying. It follows a protagonist who grows from a timid victim into a formidable powerhouse, then strikes back against the family members who abused them and the bystanders who looked on.

[The author stands by one belief: You only know how much it hurts when the knife cuts into you.]

Shen Zhaoyang argues with her boyfriend over a novel. During the scuffle, he pushes her off the eighteenth floor, and she transmigrates into the book A Poor Family Can Never Raise a Noble Son as the beautiful, weak, tragic heroine: a fake princess. In her new home, her mother-in-law is brainless but terrifyingly strong, while the Prince of Pingxi is unreasonable and stubborn, despite being exceptionally gifted at both reading and martial arts.

In the book, mother and son eventually join forces to kill the fake princess, ruin themselves, and even bring down the Crown Prince...

After thinking it over, Shen Zhaoyang decides she can’t just sit around and wait to die. Starting on her wedding day, she takes the initiative: putting her impossible mother-in-law in her place, using psychological tactics on her one-track-minded husband, and leading them step by step toward a brighter future.

At home, remnants of the former dynasty keep using her fake-princess identity to threaten her. Outside, the real princess’s parents, the Emperor and Empress, pressure her into competing at every turn.

Forced to start gathering soldiers and winning people over, she finds that as she carries on, it feels as though the wonderful days of lying flat are beckoning...

Then the real princess suddenly returns, and her battle-crazed mother-in-law tears off the veil hiding her fake-princess identity with her own hands...

...I don’t want this power. Who wouldn’t want to lie flat? You’re the ones who forced me into this...
