Shen Qingyan, a top character-image consultant from the 22nd century, transmigrates into a palace-intrigue novel as a disposable concubine candidate.
In dire straits, she is bound to the [Palace Intrigue Romance System]. Her mission is to perform devoted love with her life on the line and fill the iron-blooded crown prince's romance meter to 100.
So she switches into professional mode.
When framed, she says with teary eyes, “Your Highness, believe me. Qingyan is willing to die to prove my innocence!”
[Search her room! The evidence is hidden in the secret compartment under her bed!]
When she brings him pastries, she says shyly, “I made these myself…”
[They taste awful, just as planned. Hurry up and hate me!]
When the System orders her to take an arrow for him, she screams inwardly, [That could kill me!], yet her body instinctively lunges forward.
She thinks her acting is flawless and that she is about to max out the romance meter.
What she doesn't know is that Crown Prince Yin Hao can already hear every thought in her head.
At first, he watches coldly, curious to see how long she can keep up the act.
Later, he finds it amusing and starts playing along.
In the end, when the mastermind puts her in mortal danger, he crushes the conspiracy, raises her to the empress's throne, and bends to whisper in her ear:
“My beloved consort, you've been deceiving me for so long…”
“Why not spend the rest of your life making it up to me?”
