1. A possessive heir apparent x a sickly beauty who transmigrates into a book, forced love + a groveling pursuit
2. The white moonlight is fake, the faked death is fake, but the heir's tears of madness are real
Shen Qinglai knows she won't live past chapter three.
The day she transmigrates into the book as a frail supporting character who dies young, she coughs up blood and plots how to make Pei Wuju, heir to the Prince of Zhenbei, suffer the agony of wanting what he can't have. He has mistaken her for someone else and imprisoned her in the back courtyard.
She conceals the sharpness in her eyes and plays the gentle white moonlight. When he falls for her, she plunges into an icy pond. When he asks for her hand, she turns and marries someone else.
Until, at a palace banquet, Pei Wuju grabs her wrist, eyes red: “You lied to me?”
She coughs up blood and smiles radiantly. “My lord, the show is over.” But later, after inheriting the title and becoming a prince, he leads his cavalry through the palace gates and snatches her, barely alive, from beside the throne. His voice hoarse, he says, “Shen Qinglai, if you dare to die, I'll have the whole world buried with you.”
Yet she looks beyond the curtain to the imperial physician, Xie Yunduo, holding out a bowl of medicine, his gaze as gentle as the first snow.
And in the distance, the original heroine, Su Yueliang, strokes her slightly rounded belly and smiles sweetly. “Sister, who do you think fate will help this time?”
