Synopsis

[Historical Romance + Marriage Before Love + Palace and Household Intrigue + Putting on an Act] [A beautiful Crown Princess who plans several moves ahead + a Crown Prince who plays the pig to eat the tiger and loves putting on an act] Good news: I died in a car crash, transmigrated, and got another life. Bad news: I hadn't spent all my money, and now I'm the Crown Princess, destined to be deposed. Xu Zhiyi has barely transmigrated when, still completely bewildered, an imperial edict makes her Zhu Zhanji's bride. Becoming Hu Shanxiang, the historical empress who was deposed, feels like the worst possible start. It leaves Xu Zhiyi completely overwhelmed. On their wedding night, that jerk Zhu Zhanji tells her to take good care of his parents and his sweetheart, Sun Ruowei. Xu Zhiyi isn't worried at all. What's the big deal? To change her fate and avoid repeating history, she immediately does whatever it takes, bends with the wind, and tries to charm Zhu Zhanji. If that doesn't work, she'll cling to her in-laws and take it easy whenever she can. The sooner she enjoys life, the sooner she'll be happy. She won't worry about that jerk Zhu Zhanji. She'll live her own life, choosing to survive meekly rather than die with pride. And so, while Zhu Zhanji is tormented by his sweetheart asking whether he loves her or the other woman, he discovers that his little wife lives in comfort, waited on hand and foot, with plenty of money. Zhu Zhanji gets jealous. As he pays her more and more attention, he falls for her without even realizing it. He dotes on her, and before long, many years have passed. [Reading Guide] 1. This story focuses on romance. I'll do my best to follow the historical record, so please bear with any inaccuracies. The male lead puts on an act quite a bit early on. The two leads test each other before slowly falling in love, and their relationship develops step by step. 2. The heroine is an ordinary person with no grand ambitions. She just wants to live a good life, for herself and for the deposed Empress Hu of the past.
