(Cool and aloof eunuch supervisor + martial arts girl + deliberate seduction + comedy + one-on-one sweet romance + possessive to the extreme)
The heroine, Zhan Yan, quit her job to write novels and was nearly starving to death. Then she woke up to find she had transmigrated into a book as the ultimate bratty legitimate daughter: she’d rejected her promising fiancé, the capital’s most eligible young master, and insisted on breaking off their engagement, eventually getting her entire family executed!
Remembering the terrible fate of the whole General’s household, then thinking of her fiancé Wen Yu, who was strikingly handsome, held a secret, and would be able to protect her in the future,
Zhan Yan came to her senses. Break off the engagement? No way! She’d never do that in this lifetime! Clinging to the male lead was her only way to survive!
So the formerly tomboyish legitimate daughter who loved practicing with swords and spears underwent a complete makeover. She went on a shopping spree for gorgeous clothes at Jinxiu Pavilion, carefully picked out jewelry at Zhenbao Studio, and dressed herself up before the bronze mirror as a beauty who could dazzle the entire capital, all so she could visit the Wen residence and announce to Wen Yu in person, “Young Master Wen, I’m not calling off our engagement!”
Everyone’s jaws dropped. Was this really the same brat who thought Young Master Wen was too weak and scholarly? Looking at his fiancée, now lovely and gentle, her eyes full of “admiration,” Wen Yu hid a knowing look. Was she not quite like the rumors said?
The court was rife with undercurrents, and the highly accomplished General’s household faced danger on all sides. Zhan Yan tried every way she could to win Wen Yu’s favor while secretly warning her family to avoid disaster.
But she never expected that her seemingly mild-mannered scholar fiancé was hiding even more than she was… A transmigrated author meets a hidden powerhouse. Watch a bratty heroine rise from the ashes, join forces to crush her enemies, and protect her family’s honor!
