Reborn on the Frozen Lake: Who Would Still Date After Transmigrating Into a Book?

Modern-day domineering CEO Chu Qiao has just secured Series C funding when she wakes up transmigrated into an angst-filled novel as its heroine, surrounded by villainesses who gang up on her.

A graveyard from the start, she and the male lead, Zhuge Yue, are destined to "sink together beneath the frozen lake and die together."

On her first day after transmigrating into a book, the deranged second male lead, Yan Xun, gazes at her tenderly. "A Chu, you are the queen I have yet to marry."

On her second day, Princess Chun'er wants to brand the character for "slave" onto her.

On her third day, someone forces her head into a water vat. She nearly drowns.

Chu Qiao: ??? Who would want to transmigrate into this trash novel? I just want to run away.

After finally faking her death and escaping, her soul is suddenly bounced back to the modern world.

On the 81st floor, sunlight blazes through the office windows, and her computer screen is still lit. She's back!

Before she can even celebrate, a bank text blows up her phone:

[Jeju Island purchase: 1,888,888 yuan. Three 185-cm student athletes. Customer review: "Freaking incredible."]

Chu Qiao: … You shameless original owner!!!

Meanwhile, on the frozen lake, the original Chu Qiao has regained control of her body and drives a knife toward Yan Xun's throat:

"I'll avenge Zhuge Yue!"

Two souls switch places: one only wants to build her career, the other only wants to kill the second male lead.

Who still bothers with romance after transmigrating into a book? Isn't building a career way better?

Chu Qiao: Thanks for asking. I'm in Yanbei, it's minus twenty degrees, and this Series C funding queen isn't interested in love triangles. I'm only interested in figuring out how to survive in ancient times!
