Yun Qiwutong transmigrates into the role of a doomed martyr.
The original owner refused to marry the powerful eunuch Li Yan and smashed her head against a pillar, dying young. When Yun Qiwutong opens her eyes, no one is there to ask after her. Instead, the legendary Director of the Eastern Depot, Li Yan, sits in the shadows like a corpse, his gaze sinister and bone-chilling.
“Awake?” Li Yan's voice scrapes across the floor like dry bones, each word edged with cold. “You think this broken body of mine is beneath you? I see.” He points a withered finger at the icy floor. “But if you think waking up means you can go home...” His voice turns abruptly grim:
“Give up now!”
“Once you enter this household, in life you belong to Qiwutong,” he declares, each word a sentence of life imprisonment. “In death, you'll be Qiwutong's ghost. Want to leave? Maybe in your next life!”
Yun Qiwutong: ...What?!
Hell from the start!
The original owner died a glorious death, leaving her only a hollow stomach, a hard bed to die on, and this living King of Hell, who holds life and death in his hands and radiates icy indifference. Survival alarms are blaring! Find something to eat? Stay alive? Winning over Director Li is her only way out!
Get close to him? Absolutely!
Understand him? Essential for survival!
Win him over? ... (grits her teeth) Fine!
And as for “seducing” him?
Yun Qiwutong glances at Li Yan's lifeless lips and corpse-cold expression... Her stomach churns violently.
...Forget it! She's clearly no good at this. Safety first. Begging for food is more important.
Her goal: master the high-risk business of staying alive under Director Li. After all, a food lover needs food to live, and only with a full stomach can she think about tomorrow!
