[A spineless yet clear-headed transmigrator with a goal × a scheming, tea-loving hostage prince who's hopelessly lovestruck] One-on-one, both leads are inexperienced
[Transmigrate into a book to save herself + love-hate relationship + falling for her through his own schemes + a long road to winning her back + scheming, possessive yandere]
Mu Qing transmigrated into a book.
The good news: she's a princess of noble birth. The bad news: she's a vicious, brainless villainess.
To avoid the original heroine's fate of being torn apart by five horses, she goes for the male lead with a knife from the start.
Mu Qing throws her head back and laughs as she strides out: "Let's nip this in the bud. I'm speedrunning this!"
Unfortunately, the male lead is the author's favorite. She thinks she can win in one move, but then the story restarts.
Fine, then. She drops to her knees and accepts the System's mission. Of course, it's definitely not because of the hundred million in cash rewards.
Luckily, she's used to working like an exploited wage slave, so doing missions shouldn't be too hard to adjust to. It's just another job in a different place.
Being spineless is just her front. Making money is her real goal. She swears she'll be an unkillable, sexy cockroach.
But why did nobody tell her the male lead is a sieve packed with schemes, and a master of the art of tea?
Some people transmigrate into a book and get a golden finger, becoming the woman who rules the world.
Her System is useless, so she has to survive on her own.
She scrapes by while figuring things out, and eventually becomes emperor.
She works herself to the bone, only to come back with a score of 99.
She throws her head back and roars: "You rotten System! I'm reporting you to headquarters!"
//In all those possibilities we gambled our lives on, who can tell whether the feelings were real or fake?
"Pity is love, and sympathy is a feeling too. How does that not mean you love me?"
"You're breathtakingly handsome, and you've stolen my heart, but nobody can stop me from making a run for it." /lights cigarette.jpg
