The Princess Consort Outsmarts the Villainous Powerhouse

Reborn as a Cannon-Fodder Villainess, the Antagonist Sends Me a Talisman to Save My Life Overnight Chu Nian transmigrates into an angsty novel as the cannon-fodder bride who dies after being forced into an arranged marriage. The moment she opens her eyes, the male antagonist grips her chin. “Marry me. Aren’t you afraid to die?” She whips out a silver needle and smiles sweetly. “Husband, your brow is dark. You don’t have long to live. How about we make a deal?” She only means to stay alive long enough to make a run for it with the money, but the antagonist grabs her by the waist and chases after her, eyes red. “You flirt with me, then run?” One day, when her secret identity is exposed, she realizes she has transmigrated into a death match combining three different books. And the three powerful men feared throughout the realm are pointing their swords at one another over her. “Niannian, who will you choose?” Pain. Agony, as though every bone in her body were being crushed piece by piece. A wave of suffocation surged over her. Chu Nian’s eyes snapped open, meeting a pair of fathomless, ink-black eyes. Chilling. Brutal. Filled with undisguised murderous intent. A pale, slender hand with sharply defined knuckles was clamped around her throat. Its grip tightened, effortlessly robbing her of the air she needed to live. “Ugh…” She struggled on instinct, trying to pry away the iron vice with both hands, but could not move it in the slightest. “You came here in your precious little sister’s place,” the man said in a low, icy voice, dripping with mockery and scraping against her eardrums like shards of ice. “Are you tired of living?” The terror of impending death and fragments of unfamiliar memories flooded her mind. Chu Nian, legitimate daughter of the Minister of Rites, had lost her birth mother young. Her father did not love her, and her stepmother was vicious. Forced to marry in her younger sister’s place, she had been wed to Xie Chen, the Regent who wielded power over the court, was afflicted with a deadly poison, had a violent and bloodthirsty temper, and supposedly would not live past the year! In the original novel, she was a cannon-fodder character who survived only the first three chapters!
