[Transmigrate into a book + heartbreak + palace intrigue + a touch of power politics + slow burn]
Zhang Yunwei transmigrates into a tragic romance novel, becoming its lovesick heroine, who raises a Gu inside her own body and gives the hero a bowl of her blood each month to cure his poison.
Knowing that the heroine’s misfortunes begin when she marries Prince Yu, Zhang Yunwei promptly dumps the prince and enters the palace, becoming a consort to Zhao Yan, the short-lived emperor.
Who could have guessed that the supposedly short-lived emperor would not only survive, but that the plot would stray further and further from its course?
Later, when the Gu worm is placed before her, Zhang Yunwei willingly swallows it.
Zhang Yunwei:
Zhao Yan, don’t disappoint me!
I’ll give my life to help Your Majesty regain his health and unite the realm…
