Su Mei transmigrated into a book.
She became the unlucky female supporting character who was sent to marry in place of her older sister, the poor girl pushed forward by her half-sister to die, only to meet her end in the enemy nation's imperial harem.
On her first day after transmigrating, she was already in the wedding procession. Before her stood Xiao Yanzhi, the murderous living demon from the original novel. Rumor had it he was cold-blooded and merciless, and that none of the women in his harem had a happy ending.
But when Su Mei looked at him, she remembered how his story ended in the original novel's bonus chapter: he died alone on a snowy night, and only after his death did anyone discover the portrait of a woman hidden against his chest. On the back was written: “If there is another life, I will not be an emperor. I will be a plum tree in your courtyard.”
That woman was the original heroine, but she never knew.
Looking at the cold, stern man before her, Su Mei suddenly softened completely.
She stepped forward and, in front of the entire court, rose on her toes and kissed him.
“Your Highness,” she said, “my name is Su Mei. I look forward to spending the rest of my life with you.”
Xiao Yanzhi froze for a long moment, then scolded her with a cold expression: “Are you crazy?”
But his ears were red as blood.
Later
When someone bullied her in the imperial harem, he dragged them off and had them executed.
When she casually mentioned craving pastries from her hometown, he had the imperial kitchens learn to make them overnight.
When someone called her a “substitute,” he sneered on the spot: “She is the princess consort I formally married. Anyone who dares call her a substitute again will have their entire clan executed.”
All of the capital was saying that the regent who killed without batting an eye had gone mad.
For one woman, he would do anything.
Only Su Mei knew that the man who held her tight every night, blushing as he said, “Let me hold you a little longer,” was no living demon at all
He was her very own little softie.
