The Stunning Cannon Fodder Quits, but the Crown Prince Still Favors Her

[Transmigrate into a book + sweet romance + putting scumbags in their place + everyone’s favorite]

In one moment, Yun Shiyao transmigrates into a novel she once read, The Emperor’s Only Beloved: Reborn as the Illegitimate Daughter of a Military Family. In the original story, the heroine, Rong Dai, is a woman reborn with countless admirers at her feet, from swordsmen of the martial world to physicians of the Poison Sect, and from the jianghu to the imperial court.

But none of that has anything to do with Yun Shiyao. She becomes the niece of the Third Madam of the Duke of Xingping’s household. In the original story, she was little more than an extra, and her only major plot point involved the Crown Prince, the male lead. You could say she was his most devoted fan.

Yun Shiyao: ...

If I can’t afford to cross them, can’t I just stay out of their way?

Yun Shiyao is trying to save up enough money to leave the Duke of Xingping’s household. She racks her brain, but as a modern woman, she has no particular skill to fall back on. After much deliberation, she makes a solemn decision: she’ll use the kind of sensational hooks favored by modern gossip accounts and write some scandalous stories!

Who could have guessed that her gossip stories would be pinned squarely on the Crown Prince, setting off a storm of blood and scandal?

Yun Shiyao: It wasn’t me! I didn’t do it!

The Crown Prince, as radiant and composed as the moon on a clear night, takes her hand. Abandoning his usual restraint and reason, he gazes at her with reddened eyes.
