[Goofy, outgoing heroine × Scheming, overthinking tyrant + Subverts expectations + Hilarious wish-fulfillment]
Su Yao transmigrates into a book, and from the start, it’s on the highest difficulty setting.
She becomes a cannon-fodder villainess who poisons the disabled Sixth Prince before eloping.
Looking at Xiao Wuwang, the sinister, cold-blooded villain who will one day slaughter his way through the capital, sitting in his wheelchair, Su Yao doesn’t panic at all. She pours out the poison and shoves an absurdly powerful giant white goose at him. “Don’t be scared, hubby. This is your guide goose!”
To stay alive, Su Yao launches into hardcore survival mode: she knocks top assassins flying with a frying pan, forcibly recruits someone to chop wood, and builds a wooden wheelchair with hand brakes overnight, then pushes the tyrant around the village at top speed.
Xiao Wuwang, pretending to be blind and lame, is shaken to his core. This woman’s moves are strange and unfathomable. What earth-shattering scheme is she plotting?!
The two return to the capital in a blaze of glory. Assassination attempts in the struggle for the throne follow one after another, but the whole story goes wildly off the rails.
The worst relatives try to lay down the law? She forms a square-dancing auntie squad and blasts them with the erhu every morning. The Crown Prince brings soldiers to force his way into the palace? She sets up a watermelon sale outside Xuanwu Gate, and the rebels get so caught up eating watermelon that they forget when they’re supposed to start the rebellion. Every scheme and conspiracy is reduced to a comedy show by her overwhelming, out-of-the-box tactics.
The entire court trembles and begs the tyrant to rein in Her Ladyship and that goose, the empire’s great general.
Xiao Wuwang, no longer pretending to be blind, instead shields her behind him, his gaze dangerous. “My empress is too frail to fend for herself. Whoever dares to provoke her, how about I wipe out your entire clan for fun?”
Su Yao breaks down. “I’m really not some peerless master. I’m just a funny girl!”
Xiao Wuwang chuckles. “You don’t have to hide your talents, my dear. I understood when you confessed your ‘brick-love’ to me with a brick.”
Su Yao: What the heck are you talking about?
