Shen Qinghuan, an author who stayed up all night pouring her heart into angsty stories, wakes up to find she has transmigrated into the most ill-fated consort in her own novel, lying completely naked in the bed of Prince Lu Chengyuan of the Dalu Dynasty! The original owner was meek and submissive, despised and betrayed before meeting a tragic end. She was the ultimate tragic heroine.
Once she understands her situation, Shen Qinghuan wants only to wait for the prince to kick the bucket, inherit his fortune, and lie flat as a widow! But after one night together, the decisive and ruthless Lu Chengyuan makes a complete about-face and starts showering her with wildly out-of-character affection.
The prince’s manor takes a sudden turn for the absurd: the prince dotes on her night after night, while she pretends to have fallen into a cesspit to avoid sharing his bed. Even the emperor, whom she meets for the first time, takes a liking to her.
As she tries to handle the scheming of her elder sister, Shen Qingli, and the other tea-green socialites, she also has to fend off the obsessive affection of the prince, the emperor, and her first love, Nan Fengyi. With her delightfully absurd way of thinking and help from the System, Shen Qinghuan turns this battle of love and hate into an angsty, thrilling, and hilarious tug-of-war.
