[Transmigrate Into a Book: Wicked, Spoiled Legitimate Daughter × A Forbearing, Obsessive Exiled Prince | Coercive Possession, Mutual Push and Pull]
After transmigrating into a book as the wicked legitimate daughter who once humiliated the male lead in an ancient political intrigue novel, Jiang Zhiyi is given a mission: follow the plot, bully and torment him, then take an arrow for him at the crucial moment, fake her death, and return to the modern world.
The villainous male lead, Helian Chen, will one day become a powerful minister, seize the throne, and rule as emperor. For now, though, he is merely a disgraced hostage, at the mercy of everyone around him.
Outwardly patient and meek, he is inwardly sinister and unstable, and never lets an offense go unpunished.
Jiang Zhiyi faithfully plays the wicked supporting role every day, beating and berating him while also tossing him small kindnesses, until she has tormented the male lead into a state where he can't bear to leave her, yet hates her to the bone.
At last, the day she is supposed to fake her death arrives. She smiles as the plot dictates and takes the poisoned arrow.
System: "Host's death confirmed. Transmission countdown..."
But then the System freezes.
Jiang Zhiyi fails to return to the modern world and is instead forced to become a mute maid serving at his side.
A year later, Helian Chen has become a nightmare to the entire court, with all power in his hands.
He keeps her "bones" hidden on a jade bed of ice, holding her as he sleeps every night. He is practically mad with grief, and anyone who dares say "She's dead" loses their head.
The System is finally repaired and cheers, "You can leave now!"
Jiang Zhiyi is just about to slip away when she accidentally reveals the nervous little habit she had in life.
Helian Chen suddenly grabs the back of her neck. His bloodshot eyes are filled with the madness of getting back what he had lost, and with fury.
A cold dagger rests against her cheek. He smiles in a way that sends chills down her spine. "You've deceived me for so long. How would you like to die this time? How about dying in bed?"
