[Double transmigration, master and servant + reborn villain + sharp-tongued System: Want to try a hilarious political power struggle?]
Lin Wanxing stays up all night finishing an old-fashioned tale of household intrigue. When she opens her eyes, she has become the ill-fated illegitimate daughter who doesn't survive three chapters. From the start, her stepmother pushes her into a pond and frames her for losing her virtue. In the end, she becomes a stepping stone in the princes' struggle for power and dies a truly gruesome death.
Just as she trembles before the “survival mission” assigned by the System, her maid suddenly shouts in Mandarin, “Girl, hang in there! Rule 3 of the Survival Guide to Household Intrigue: splash your legitimate sister with mud first!”
Lin Wanxing: “!!! Chuntao? You transmigrated too?”
A history whiz of a maid × a burned-out, do-nothing heroine: the double-transmigration alliance is officially formed!
Fake a disfiguring injury with vinegar and limewater to strike back at her stepmother? Easy!
Use modern auditing methods to check the books and expose corrupt relatives? Standard procedure!
Use memberships and presale packages to help the Empress revive her shop, then become her goddaughter on the spot? A business genius!
But... why does the seventh prince, Xiao Jinghan, the biggest villain in the original story who has been reborn, keep his eyes on her?
Xiao Jinghan (reborn): This illegitimate daughter is suspicious. She can predict my schemes and even perform the sorcery of “turning clear water into milk.” She must have an expert backing her!
Lin Wanxing (guiltily): Sorry, Your Highness. The “expert” is my history-whiz maid, and the “sorcery” is a middle-school chemistry experiment.
Chuntao (shipping them): Thanks for asking. I'm at the Marquis's manor, and I just used fingerprint analysis to expose my mistress's sister's witchcraft plot. I also arranged some alone time for her and the seventh prince. Don't @ me.
