[Lighthearted, a little unhinged, silly and brainless; the attention-seeking, fake-innocent female lead puts on a show at every opportunity. Both the main and secondary couples have chaste men and unchaste women.]
Su Wanxi transmigrates into a book as the vicious female supporting character, a scumbag's mistress. The reborn lady of the household is supposed to kill her, then become empress and seize all power.
So why wait? Cling to the reborn lady's golden thigh!
For household battles, let the lady of the house handle it. For palace intrigue, let her handle it too. I'm not going to fight her, after all. There's no need!
The ungrateful children and the scumbag? I don't want them! Isn't the future general who'll help govern the country, with his dark skin and athlete's build, much better?
What do you mean, “odd numbers change, even numbers stay the same”? Face reality: you haven't even made it to NPC status. Come with me and cling to the main characters instead!
What? I have other identities too? Don't mess with me! The vicious supporting character had a great time in the original story. How come she's become a pitiful little cabbage now that I'm here?
When did I become the lady of the house's golden finger?
Reborn Lady of the House: “This mistress is devoted to pleasure and has no ambition. I'll spare her life; she might be amusing to keep around.” → “She's not right in the head. We need to keep an eye on her and protect her.” → “As long as my bestie stays, I'll earn her all the money and power she wants!”
Prince Li: “That lowly mistress could still be useful. I'll spare her life.” → “Look at Brother Chu. He's got such a lovesick look on his face!” → “She's Yue'er's person. We need to keep an eye on her and protect her.” → “Su Wanxi, as long as you don't go tattling to Yue'er, I'll give you whatever you want!”
Chu Lingfeng: “How can she be a mistress?” → “Does she really care that much about the young marquis?” → “How can she have her eye on Prince Li?!” → “Touch me, inspect the goods, but don't think about any other man again! You can only look at me and touch me!” → “She's had such a tragic life. My poor girl. I'll protect what's mine!”
The tale of Chu, the goofy and clueless young general, rising to power.
