Cold lake water closes in, choking the breath from Lu Rongzhao. She jolts awake, feels the elaborate princess dress on her body, and is completely baffled. She was a modern-day celebrity fan, so how did she transmigrate into a tragic novel she once read, becoming the most beloved legitimate princess of the Great Cheng dynasty?
“You’ve got to be kidding me. This is ridiculous!” She frantically searches for the System to no avail, but a whole story’s worth of plot drops into her mind: the original princess is destined to marry the regent and end up dying a gruesome death, turned into a human swine. With no golden finger and a desperate will to survive, she declares on the spot that she will never accept her fate. Anyone who gets in the way of her staying alive is going to get a piece of her mind!
She means to focus on her career and defy fate, but then she sees someone who leaves her utterly stunned. The sickly third young master Song Wenqi, whom everyone in the Duke of Jingguo’s household bullies, has exactly the same face as the celebrity she follows, Fang Zexu!
Everyone laughs at Song Wenqi for being a sickly man who won’t live long, powerless and easy to trample on. Only Lu Rongzhao, armed with her knowledge of the plot, protects him fiercely. She complains that his frailty is a hassle, but treats him like her own poor little darling.
She has no idea that this sickly young master is actually a scheming powerhouse in disguise, with secret networks and an assassination organization at his command. He has kept his strength hidden, and reserves all his tenderness for her, quietly shielding her from every deadly threat and clearing away her enemies. She tears into her false-saintly half-sister and mercilessly crushes the Duke’s wicked young heir, turning the tables with one satisfying victory after another. Little does she know that the man behind her has already given all his favoritism to her alone.
