Transmigrate and Change My Fate: The Prince's Consort

Modern girl Xue Qingyin accidentally transmigrates into the historical romance novel The Emperor's Beloved Consort as a spoiled villainess whose original fate is to be abandoned, left alone in an empty chamber, and die miserably. To change her fate, she gives up chasing the original male lead and takes the initiative to approach the cold, heartless Prince Xuan, He Juntaing. She plans to use his power to stay alive, then become a wealthy widow after his "early death." But her feigned innocence makes He Juntaing believe she's truly in love with him, and he gradually reveals a tenderness that contradicts the rumors. Using her modern wit, Xue Qingyin finds her footing in the palace and transforms from a marginal villainess into a favorite at court. He Juntaing, meanwhile, sees her as a light in the darkness. When the truth of He Juntaing's parentage comes to light, revealing him to be the son of the late crown prince, who was falsely accused and murdered, he secretly plots his revenge, and Xue Qingyin becomes his strongest "shield for the heart." When she faces a "chase-your-wife-to-the-crematorium" scenario with a man who once loved his elder brother's intended, she firmly turns him down. In the end, He Juntaing successfully purges the treacherous ministers and ascends the throne, while Xue Qingyin becomes empress. The two go from "getting what they each want" to standing by each other wholeheartedly, rewriting the original's tragic ending in which both leads die.
