[Quirky, playful, drama-queen princess ✖️ silver-haired, heterochromatic, tsundere prince]
Su Qingqing, a modern-day actress who never quite made it big, transmigrates one day into the most miserable legitimate daughter of a general’s household.
Her birth mother died young, her stepmother is cruel, and her half-sister trampled her way to becoming the crown princess. Now she is being forced to marry Prince Li, a sickly man said to bring death to his wives.
A hopeless situation from the start? No problem. She makes her living through acting.
On their wedding night, the prince offers her gold and silver: Take this and leave the manor. Tell everyone you died of illness.
She drops to her knees, tears in her eyes: “My prince, I won’t leave!”
Zhou Qiye looks at the woman putting on an act: “Fine. Keep acting, then.”
From then on, the prince’s manor becomes her stage.
Debt collectors? Harassment? Kidnapping?
No problem. “Acting” is what she does best!
Until one day, she discovers that the people who bullied her are somehow all meeting with misfortune, one after another.
She also discovers that the man who keeps saying “Do as you please” has been quietly clearing away every overt and hidden threat on her behalf.
“My prince, why are you helping me?”
“Aren’t you acting? I’m just playing along.”
