[Transmigrate into a book / vicious supporting female character / drama queen heroine who’ll do anything to survive X scheming, unhinged but hopelessly lovesick male lead / both transmigrated into books / sweet romance]
Su Huanian thinks the way she died was utterly ridiculous.
She’d just received her college acceptance letter after the gaokao when a big truck sent her and her archenemy, Liu Xianzhu, to their deaths together.
Even worse, when she opens her eyes again, she’s transmigrated into her favorite feel-good romance novel from high school, as the vicious supporting female character doomed to have her bones ground to dust.
As soon as she transmigrates, her family abandons her and marries her off to the puppet emperor, who supposedly kills without batting an eye.
On their wedding night, the bridal veil is lifted, and she finds herself staring into the face on the imperial bed.
“...Liu Xianzhu?!”
Su Huanian’s vision goes black. She wants to die all over again, right then and there.
Lowering her voice, she hurriedly says, “Did that truck send you here too? Come on, let’s call a truce and team up. I got the vicious supporting character’s script, and you got the puppet emperor’s. Let’s stick together and survive, okay?”
The young emperor looks at her without saying a word, the corner of his mouth lifting ever so slightly.
In the days that follow, the two modern souls prove surprisingly in sync as they work together amid the treacherous court intrigues. She shields him from open attacks, and he teaches her to guard against hidden ones. They bicker and compete like they did in high school, but also stand side by side like two real adults.
For a while, Su Huanian even feels that this absurd journey into a book might not be so bad after all.
Until one day, she casually asks him, “By the way, how long before me did you get here? Six months? A year?”
The imperial study suddenly falls silent.
He says softly, “Su Huanian, I’ve been waiting for you for eighteen years.”
“Without a reason, the zither has fifty strings, each string, each bridge, recalls the years of my youth.”
Congratulations on finding the treasure 😏
