[Clear-Eyed Working Maid x Love-Struck, Spoiled Young Lady x Gentle but Unhinged Original-Novel Hero] [Transmigrate into a Book + Cannon Fodder Survival + Ancient-Era Survival Guide + Everyone Has Their Wits About Them + Female Growth + Ensemble Political Intrigue + Subverting the Usual Tropes]

After He Ruoruan was hit by a car, she transmigrated into a book, becoming a little maid in an ancient romance novel.

Worse, she was the unlucky maid serving the villainous young lady Qiao Yiqing. She delivered poisoned snacks and harmful letters for her mistress, then got shoved forward to take the blame and beaten to death.

In the original story, the young lady did the dirty work, and she took the fall.

He Ruoruan: "Whoever wants this job can do it." Now all she has to do is stay alive in the book.

When the young lady wants to hurt someone, she checks the process first.

When the young lady is about to cause trouble, she figures out how to keep herself out of it.

But He Ruoruan soon realizes that things are gradually diverging from the original story.

Behind the "coincidences" the book merely glossed over, someone seems to have been pulling the strings all along.

And the gentle, devoted hero who always manages to rescue the heroine in time is becoming less and less like the simple man portrayed in the original story.

Only then does He Ruoruan realize that to survive in the book, the person she really needs to avoid may not be the villainous young lady who wears her wickedness on her face, but someone else entirely.

Worse still, she has encountered another transmigrator.

He arrived ten years before her.

And he is secretly using the plot knowledge she possesses to change this world.
