Su Wanwan (female lead): A modern corporate drone's soul. After she transmigrates into a book, all she wants is to stay alive, but the System keeps pushing her to court death. She has a constant stream of inner thoughts and loves to gripe. On the surface, she works hard to maintain her villainess persona (with hilariously over-the-top acting), but in reality, she's timid and attached to life. Golden finger: a reverse death-seeking aura (passive skill).
Xiao Zhi (male lead / Regent): Wields power over the court, cold and ruthless, decisive in killing. He has severe mysophobia and a hatred of women (at first). Deeply suspicious, with exceptional powers of observation. His tendency to overthink gradually reaches its full potential. His appeal: powerful, swoon-worthy, and unexpectedly adorable (the female lead's inner monologue rubs off on him).
System missions versus real-world results: The female lead desperately tries to court death, but everything keeps charging off in the opposite direction.
Information gaps and overthinking: From the Regent's perspective, the female lead's bewildering behavior becomes deliberate seduction, then undying devotion, until he concludes: She loves me so much!
Hilarious survival antics and spectacular public embarrassment: The female lead keeps leaping between completing her missions and dying on the spot.
Court intrigue woven together with sweet romance: On the surface, it's a supporting female character courting death; beneath it lie courtly power struggles and the Regent's secrets.
This is a light, fluffy read.
