On the eve of her wedding, Tan Zhiyi, the legitimate daughter of the Minister’s residence, transmigrated into a book.
She became the villainess destined to die tragically in The Locked Palace.
In the original story, she was arrogant and overbearing, with enemies everywhere. She was a pawn pushed forward by Consort Rong, Shen Jingyi, to secure her position.
To escape her inevitable death, she was forced to fight for survival at every turn in the imperial palace: battling favored consorts, foiling schemes, and faking a pregnancy to set a trap. But as she became entangled with Emperor Xiao Jinyi, she gradually fell for him.
When she took an arrow for him and ended her “inevitable death” fate, she returned to reality, only to discover that her new husband, Shen Que, looked exactly like Xiao Jinyi.
After a night of passion, she lost control and blurted out a name, deeply wounding Shen Que.
Days later, when she returned, a stray arrow came hurtling through the air during the autumn hunt. She used her body as a shield and took the arrow for him again.
His memories returned with it. He was Xiao Jinyi, and she was the woman beneath the pomegranate tree in his dream.
