[A corporate wage slave who knows when to back down × a sweet-on-the-surface, sinister-at-heart man + the System appears later + the heroine seems to have transmigrated into a book + the male lead is reborn + mind-reading later on]
One day, Zhu Jiyun transmigrated into a book as a doomed cannon-fodder character, becoming the crown princess who was destined to die young! The System showed up more than a dozen chapters late, and its mission was utterly unoriginal: it said she could go home if she won over the original male lead. She put up with it again and again, until she finally couldn't take it anymore. In the end, she threatened to kill herself, forcing the System to switch her target to a “mysterious person.”
Who was this “mysterious person”?
Zhu Jiyun said, “How am I supposed to know?!”
Just as she was at her wit's end, the mad crown prince who had chopped her into pieces in the original story started paying more and more attention to her. Zhu Jiyun didn't understand. Zhu Jiyun just wanted to hurry up and divorce the crown prince!
Zhu Jiyun: “Spare my life, and I promise I won't get in your way!”
So, on the night of the upheaval in the Eastern Palace, just as Zhu Jiyun planned to escape in the confusion, the crown prince, who was supposed to be fighting the other princes to the death, suddenly appeared at the dark palace doorway.
Xie Jue grabbed Zhu Jiyun by the waist and asked, his expression shadowy, “Why do you want to leave me? Isn't it good by my side?”
He leaned close to Zhu Jiyun, his eyes reddening. “I have lots and lots of money, and I have power beyond measure. Look at me... won't you?”
Help! The mysterious person turned out to be a crazy love-struck man!
But then Zhu Jiyun realized that the crown prince was acting more and more strangely. Just as she started to think something was seriously wrong, Xie Jue actually called her... “Wifey”?
At that moment, all the System alerts that had been delayed went off at once: [Warning! An advanced user has recovered their memories!]
