Shi Hao transmigrated into a book.
She became the scheming, tomboyish female side character in the story.
Everyone said she was a bold, spirited daughter of a military family, spoiled and carefree, with no regard for propriety.
She called the Grand Secretary her sworn brother, then turned around and committed the ugly deed of plotting against the heroine.
What?! She'd arrived just before the story's ending?
The System ordered Shi Hao to win over the deposed Crown Prince and help him rise again.
Otherwise, she'd die on the spot...
When Shi Hao found Lu Yunqi, he was hunting deep in the mountains, so poor his house was bare.
Drawing on every ounce of her acting talent, she played a delicate, helpless flower, fussed over him, farmed to support the household, and took care of him in every way.
His trust steadily increased, and Shi Hao thought she was about to complete the mission.
Until she overheard him speaking in secret with his bodyguard:
"Her little tricks are amusing. No need to kill her."
"Keep her around. She's just a pawn."
-
Shi Hao was furious. She stayed up all night writing a complaint to the System: This mission has a bug! The target is impossible to win over!
The next day, she packed her bags and prepared to run.
But as soon as she reached the mountain pass, ranks of guards stood waiting, their dark uniforms filling the road.
The deposed Crown Prince she'd once thought destitute now wore a resplendent black dragon robe and sat astride his horse. He leaned down, pinched her chin, and chuckled.
"Where do you think you're going? To find that damned Grand Secretary of yours?"
"You flirt with me and then try to run? Didn't anyone teach you to see things through?"
So which one of them was actually being won over?
