Transmigrate into a book | Political intrigue | Two strong leads | Happy ending | Both devoted to each other
Lin Wanwan stayed up late working overtime, ranting about the poorly concluded novel Beloved Empress:
“The wicked supporting actress can die for all I care, but what did her whole family ever do to you?”
When she opened her eyes again, she had become that wicked supporting actress: Shen Qing'an.
The legitimate daughter of a general's household, Princess Ning'an, the most beautiful woman in the capital, and the apple of her family's eye. Unfortunately, she was hopelessly lovesick and had chased the Crown Prince for three years.
Worse still, she remembered the original plot: in four months, the heroine would frame Shen Qing'an, and the Crown Prince would run her through with his sword. Her entire family would be executed.
Shen Qing'an fell into thought:
The Crown Prince? I'm done catering to him.
The heroine? Best to steer clear of someone I can't afford to offend.
My family? I have to protect them.
Her only way to survive was to turn to the mysterious, ruthless villain from the original novel, the Regent Xiao Hanyuan, who had few scenes but wielded power over the entire court.
Everyone in the capital feared him.
Shen Qing'an made up her mind: she would cling to his coattails.
What she didn't know was that this man, who had never trusted anyone, was waiting in the abyss for someone to save him.
She had approached him only to stay alive.
But somewhere along the way, her concern for him began to outweigh her scheming.
She only wanted to survive, yet couldn't help feeling for him.
He had never trusted anyone, but he trusted her alone.
