[Transmigrate into a book | life-saving System | underdog comeback | devoted to one another | younger, obsessive lover × humble, remorseful ex-husband | forbidden tension with a junior | groveling ex-husband | love triangle]
Chu Yao transmigrates into a book and becomes the ill-fated original wife, destined to die a tragic death.
Bound to a life-saving System, she tears herself free from the original owner's lovesick obsession and stops desperately clinging to her cold, indifferent husband, Shen Yanzheng.
She walks away, radiant and carefree. All she wants is to keep her head down, stay alive, and defy her fate.
But after losing her, Shen Yanzheng goes completely mad.
The husband who once stood above everyone else now kneels by her bed every night, head bowed and eyes lowered, like a puppy begging for affection. All he asks is that she look at him once more.
Meanwhile, her new admirer, Shen Yanxi, is cool, gentle, and exceptionally gifted, and has long been consumed by his obsession with her.
The young man keeps his feelings hidden as he plots and closes in on her step by step. His possessiveness grows more and more wild. He wants to imprison her in a world of his own and claim all her tenderness for himself.
Lu Zhiyao, the young heir of the Duke of Qi, whom she meets at a palace banquet, is young, sincere, sweet, and innocent.
An accident at a rockery in the imperial garden lets him stumble upon all their secret entanglements, giving him a unique bargaining chip.
He seems obedient and gentle, but hides his own selfish motives. Devoted and persistent, he pursues her relentlessly and refuses to let go.
Lavish palace banquets conceal the sordid secrets of the aristocratic clans. Beneath all the splendor and prosperity lies nothing but dirty entanglements.
Everyone is waiting to see which one she chooses.
Chu Yao looks up and sighs helplessly. “Heavens above! Being the female lead is exhausting. Everyone wants to spend their lives with me, but all I want is an easy life and to stay alive!”
A very nice book.
