Reborn on the set of "My Fair Princess", the villainous Empress Ula-Nara surveys the mess before her and decides to give up completely.
Following the plot? Too much work. Redeeming herself? No need.
In this life, she just wants to quietly do her job as a conscientious “villainous tool” and follow the plot until it’s time for her to die.
So
When Xiaoyanzi wreaks havoc in the imperial garden, she applauds. “Nice performance! Give her a reward!”
When Ziwei tearfully pleads to acknowledge her father, she thoughtfully hands her a handkerchief. “What a moving story. Don’t tell it again.”
When the emperor scolds her for being wicked, she nods in agreement. “You’re right, Your Majesty. I’ll go back and reflect on my actions.”
But why is the plot getting more and more wrong?
Xiaoyanzi has become her number-one fan, Ziwei regards her as a life mentor, and even the emperor’s gaze has changed from loathing to… intense interest?
Qianlong: “The empress is so unusual. Could it be that she’s trying to get my attention?”
The empress, inwardly collapsing: “No! Your Majesty! You’re supposed to hate me according to the script!”
