Transmigrating into an ancient romance novel as a cannon-fodder legitimate daughter, Shen Zhiwei decides to give up and wait to die.
After all, her mother is love-brained, her older sister is love-brained, and even her older brother is love-brained.
Her whole family is destined to be cannon fodder, picked clean by her half-sister and her concubine-born mother before long.
Then, at a flower-viewing banquet, her half-sister plots to push her into the water.
She sneers inwardly. “Go on, keep acting. The Third Prince is supposed to pass by and rescue me any moment now. If that happens, my life is over.”
The next second, her stern, old-fashioned father, the prime minister, takes off his outer robe in front of everyone and snaps, “Use my clothes to wrap Second Miss and pull her out!”
He heard her!
From then on, everything changes.
When the concubine tries to poison someone, he sends the poisoned soup right back to her.
When the half-sister frames her, he exposes the duplicate jade pendants in front of everyone.
When a prince tries to recruit him, he presents evidence of the prince's crimes to the emperor in advance.
Shen Zhiwei panics. This isn't how the story is supposed to go!
She tries to hide her thoughts, only to hear her father speak to her in his heart during court, while the assembled officials sit in silence:
“Wei'er, the person on the throne is thinking about how to strip your father of his power.”
“Come on, tell your father, what should we do next...”
“Set a trap for the Crown Prince, or take out the Second Prince?”
