[Transmigrate into a Book] [1v1] [SC] [Self-Conquest] [Past and Present Lives]
[Sweet and Gentle Cousin ✖ Cold, Scheming Older Cousin]
Xu Xitang transmigrated into a book. With no golden finger to help her, she hadn't even read the book, and spent her days lazing around.
Then a sudden upheaval changed everything. Her father was caught up in a political power struggle and made a scapegoat, then exiled to a desolate land. Alone, she brought a jade pendant with her to the capital. She had planned to seek refuge with a noble family, relying on a childhood betrothal to make the young, handsome top scholar her husband. But she had no idea how unpredictable the world was or how dire the situation had become.
The court was rife with convoluted political intrigues, strange cases kept claiming lives, disaster relief funds went missing, and she was plagued by dreams that never made any sense.
Yet the frail young woman stood shoulder to shoulder with the top scholar, working seamlessly with him.
Love breeds sorrow, and love breeds fear. Those who part from love know neither sorrow nor fear.
At the end of the story, the heaven's favorite kneels before her beneath her pomegranate-red skirt, begging Buddha to grant him an illusion, and winning the Bodhisattva's compassion.
