(A clear-headed, strong-willed beauty VS an ascetic, cold-hearted prince)
Liu Zhaoye, a master’s graduate from an agricultural sciences institute, never imagined that one day she would transmigrate into a terrible old novel as the cannon-fodder supporting heroine, destined to be sacrificed by her entire family and die a horrific death.
When she opens her eyes, it is the night before the original heroine is framed for eloping. Liu Zhaoye sneers: Who would want to be that sucker?
She tears up the script, exposes her half-sister’s scheme, and takes the initiative to marry the prince who is supposedly “dead.”
On the eve of the wedding, she beats up her half-sister, kicks her scumbag father, and reclaims her birth mother’s exorbitantly valuable dowry, leaving the whole family spitting blood!
To stay alive, she heads to the border, only to be mistaken for a spy and dragged into a military camp.
Seeing the malnourished fields, the agricultural sciences master gets straight to work: she improves the grain strains, develops fertilizer, and doubles the yield per acre!
After being recruited directly by the prince, the two agree on three rules: they will divorce after a year.
But when she is in danger, he risks his life to save her; when he is gravely wounded, she refuses to leave his side; and when they pretend to be husband and wife to investigate a case, he turns green with jealousy...
The prince and princess return to the capital in glory. Her scumbag father’s family panics and flees in every direction, while her half-sister is hastily married off. They beg the princess to show mercy?
Liu Zhaoye: Affection from family that comes too late is worth less than grass. Get out, all of you!
On their wedding night, she weeps and begs him to stop. The prince pulls her into his arms, his gaze dark: “Be good. One more time.”
