[Transmigrate into a book + political intrigue + sweet romance and push-pull tension + marriage before love + pastoral daily life + the wife-chasing crematorium]
Jiang Wange transmigrates into a melodramatic period romance as a wicked cannon-fodder character, and finds herself in hell mode from the start: she and the novel’s living devil, Regent Nangong Yu, have both fallen off a cliff! In the original story, the heroine plotted against the male lead and was ultimately reduced to ashes. Jiang Wange is close to tears. Help! To stay alive, she quickly claims that the amnesiac man is her husband, staging a shocking deception: “We’re married.”
From a dilapidated hut to a mountain cottage, the modern designer’s skills come alive. She turns the impoverished “country bumpkin” A-Yu into the ideal “devoted husband” every home needs. As she uses her skills to save money for an escape, she finds herself caught in the gentle trap of her amnesiac “husband” and falls for him without even realizing it.
But the good times don’t last. Forces from the capital track them down, and A-Yu regains his memories, instantly changing from an “obedient country bumpkin” back into the “all-powerful Regent”! Jiang Wange’s escape fails, and he forcibly confines her in his manor. The entire capital waits to see the impostor princess consort meet her end, unaware that the violent, cold-blooded Regent already treasures her above all else, obsessively interpreting every one of her “deceptions” as proof that she’s madly in love with him!
From a caged songbird to a design queen stirring up the capital, Jiang Wange uses her advanced ideas to plan each move carefully, standing shoulder to shoulder with the Regent in the mire of political intrigue. He is the greatest trial of her life, and her only way home. When the lies are exposed and their feelings laid bare, can this story of forced possession finally become a balanced, mutual pursuit of love?
