[Both leads are devoted only to each other | A hilarious woman on the inside, a well-behaved girl on the outside, a heroine with contrasting sides + a seemingly innocent but secretly calculating hero who puts on a good act | Sweet romance + a touch of angst + the hero’s obsessive, possessive side explodes later on + he desperately tries to win her back]
As a devoted fan of transmigration novels, Mu Yashu’s greatest wish is to transmigrate into a book world and have a passionate romance with its tyrant hero.
The good news: she does. The bad news! She transmigrates into the “body snatcher heroine,” the character she found most unbearable while reading, and through a bizarre twist of fate, switches bodies with the original heroine, Lin Qingshu! Mu Yashu could weep.
To stay alive, she wears Lin Qingshu’s face and acts like the original character, a favored concubine spoiled into arrogance, while inwardly grumbling nonstop: This jerk is supposed to be madly in love with the heroine, so why does he keep grabbing her by the throat? And this heroine! Why is she such a hopeless romantic? Hey!
She nervously plays her part in one scene after another with the “method-acting tyrant,” waiting for the day they switch bodies back so she can run away. But when the palace gates open, Xiao Jin, dressed in black and astride a tall horse, throws down a sinister question: “Where do you think you’re going, my empress?”
Mu Yashu has no idea that Xiao Jin saw through her disguise long ago. At first, he finds this woman, who lies through her teeth, amusing. But he gradually falls for the tenderness and cuteness she reveals without meaning to.
Xiao Jin thinks of the words he just heard: “I never loved Xiao Jin.”
Rolling the purse she gave him between his fingers, his eyes shine with a crazed certainty of victory. “It doesn’t matter if you don’t love me. We have our whole lives ahead of us. I’ll make you fall in love with me eventually.”
