[Both leads are inexperienced in love / transmigrate into a book / marriage first, love later / fake death and running away while pregnant / cuddling to stay alive]
During the summer after her college entrance exams, Su Yunqing woke up to find she'd transmigrated into the tragic romance novel her mother had written, as its heroine.
The System ordered her to win over Di Yan, the dark and obsessive second male lead. She refused to cooperate, so the System threatened her life.
With no other choice, she tried every day to find ways to cuddle up to Di Yan. But when she became pregnant, the novel's villainess brutally abused her.
Mistakenly believing Di Yan had abandoned her for the throne, she faked her death with a broken heart and fled to a neighboring kingdom.
Years later, she returned with her child and drew the man on the throne into her warm bedchamber.
On the bed, the man's eyes burned red. “Su Yunqing, do you think I'd want a woman another man has touched?”
“Of course.”
Later, rumors spread through the palace that Su Yunqing was a seductress who kept the emperor lost in pleasure day after day.
“How am I not as good as him? I'll give you everything you want.”
“Then I want your throne.”
“Fine, but I have to be the empress.”
