[Overworked Office Drone Transmigrates into a Book + Men Competing for the Heroine + One-to-One Ending + Older Woman/Younger Man Couple]
Jiang Ning transmigrates into a book.
One moment, she’s an overworked wage slave who dies suddenly in the bathroom after endless overtime. The next, she’s the lovesick villainess palace mistress who’s about to be put to death by three powerful men working together.
Her boss, Emperor Murong Jin, is preparing to dispose of her before this blade slips out of his control.
The scumbag official Li Zheng is ready to use her devotion, then turn around, marry into another family, and send her to her death.
Her wealthy backer, imperial merchant Jiang Buyan, has already worked out how to cut his losses and plans to take over her Mirror Shadow Palace after she dies.
Three men, three ways to die.
But after piecing together the plot, Jiang Ning laughs in disbelief.
“To hell with being lovesick. Men only get in the way of my career.”
After ten years in the workplace, she’s a top actress skilled at managing her superiors and using reverse manipulation. She has only one goal: survive, seize power, and build her career!
The possessive Emperor Murong Jin only realizes it when the blade has sunk deep into his bones and can no longer be pulled out.
Murong Jin locks her tightly against the imperial throne. His eyes bloodshot, his voice trembling, he says, “You dare betray me? Even if I have to break your wings, I’ll keep you by my side... You’re not going anywhere!”
The self-important official Li Zheng only sees what he’s lost when he’s kneeling in the rain.
His usually confident eyes are now bloodshot. “You said you loved me so much you’d die for me! A Ning... come back! Do that act for me one more time!”
The imperial merchant Jiang Buyan only realizes that this woman is the treasure most worth cherishing when it’s too late.
Jiang Buyan looks at the abacus with a bitter smile. “Palace Mistress, I, Jiang Buyan, have schemed my entire life, but when it came to you, I lost everything.”
