[Transmigration + Disguised as a Man + Strong Female Lead + Empress]
Lu Li transmigrates, and on the very first day after waking up, she's hauled off to get married. She's completely dumbfounded.
Get married? Her? How can a woman marry someone?
Oh, she's disguised as a man!
Wait, no, that makes even less sense!
Lu Li discovers that she hasn't just transmigrated, she's also transmigrated into a book, becoming the female lead's doomed “moonlight” husband. So she decides to team up with the heroine from this “same world” and carve out a place for themselves in this ancient land.
But...
We agreed to build careers together, so why are you chasing men now?
Gu Xi: “I can't help it. You're a woman, and your gender is set in stone. I'll just have to find someone else.”
Lu Li: “...” Then I can find someone else too!
Gu Xi transmigrates into a book as the wicked female lead, set up as a foil to her stepsister? Hah! She's not about to play the villain. Whoever wants the role can have it!
Her stepsister is reborn and wants to switch their marriage matches? Sure! Her new husband is sickly and isn't expected to live more than a year, so she'll become a happy young widow and focus on her career.
But no one mentioned that her bargain husband would be so handsome. She feels herself falling for him.
Then, out of nowhere, her bargain husband turns out to be a woman!
“Sister, then how about changing your sexual orientation? Girls are great too!”
“I don't like women, and I'm not changing my sexual orientation.”
“Waaah, if we can't be married, then let's be besties. Bestie, give me a kiss!”
Lu Li shoves her away in disgust. “Sorry, no.”
[Kindly note: Both transmigrated into books, and there is no rivalry between the women.]
