Su Yunxi woke up to find she had transmigrated into a book, becoming a cannon-fodder character: the third young lady of the Prime Minister’s household.
Being cannon fodder was great. She could slack off until the ending, then return to the modern world.
But gradually, she realized that the book’s heroine, Chu Mu, was acting strangely. Not only was she odd, she wasn’t following the plot either.
So Su Yunxi stepped in. Her actions caught the attention of the book’s Male Lead, Xiao Heng.
Faced with a domineering prince from an ancient romance who was flinging melodrama around like confetti, Su Yunxi could only think: Good thing this guy lived in a feudal dynasty. If he were around today, he’d have been locked up eight times over.
Later, Su Yunxi came clean to Chu Mu, and, just as she expected, Chu Mu had also transmigrated into a book.
When they compared the plots, they discovered they had transmigrated into companion novels. Each had thought she was a cannon-fodder character, but in fact, each was the heroine of the book the other had read.
How could anyone make this plot make sense? Help, please, this is urgent!
The two women who transmigrated into books are not a couple. Each has her own love interest; this is a BG romance.
