Synopsis

A modern woman who just wants to lie flat wakes up as a peerlessly beautiful woman.

Before she can even take it in, the emperor decides to offer her as a sacrifice to the sea?!

This isn’t how the story’s supposed to go!

Run! She has to run!

That very night, she runs into the cold-faced guard, General Si Tian, and her escape plan falls apart completely.

On the way to the sea ritual, she manages to slip away, only to hear that the general has been thrown into prison for dereliction of duty.

Yu Shuang, utterly unmoved: “Serves him right. It’s not like I should have to be the only one to die.”

On the fifth day of her escape, she finds the disgraced general by the roadside.

He’s in rags, covered in blood, and has lost his memory.

Looking at his handsome face and impressive martial skills, Yu Shuang rubs her chin thoughtfully.

“Huh, amnesia? Perfect. I need a bodyguard I can rely on. You’re hired!”

Reading guide: 1v1, both leads are completely pure, happy ending. The heroine has a modern way of thinking; the hero falls for her on his own, and has a long road ahead before he can win her over.

Please Recommend Transmigration Stories That Aren’t Clichéd!

I've been reading on and off for five or six years. Transmigration is one of the few genres I really like. I have plenty on my bookshelf, but some feel formulaic. Other people have asked for recommendations like this too, but when I click through, I can't find anything to my taste... Any subject is fine!

Looking for a Transmigration Story With a Smart Protagonist and No System

Preferably a historical novel about someone who transmigrates, though an alternate setting is fine too. The characters need to be smart, and there should be no System.
