Tang Xuran transmigrates into a book and becomes a fake heiress who is destined for a tragic end as a disposable character.
To change her grim fate, she schemes to marry the male lead, Lu Yun, who has yet to become a big shot.
Even though she knows Lu Yun is the male lead, Tang Xuran has no intention of sucking up to him. She does whatever she wants, acts spoiled every day, and is very used to ordering Lu Yun around.
Tang Xuran says, perfectly reasonably, “I brought a dowry, and I let Lu Yun use it too!”
The original heroine comes knocking, claiming she once saved Lu Yun and hoping to use that to get closer to him.
Tang Xuran is already eager to try her hand at the inner-courtyard rivalry plot. Winning would be great, but even if she loses, she’ll have upgraded from a disposable character to the main villainess.
She never expected Lu Yun to offer the woman a brief, indifferent thank-you, then take Tang Xuran by the arm and leave, while the heroine stared after them in disbelief.
Lu Yun murmurs a reminder: “Don’t bother with irrelevant people from now on. In this world, only your husband treats you well.”
Tang Xuran: What happened to that classic plot where the heroine repays the man who saved her by offering herself to him?
