After staying up three nights in a row, star publicist Shen Wanwan transmigrates into an ancient romance tragedy as the short-lived widow of Pei Ci, a ruthless, power-crazed villain who holds sway over the imperial court.
In the original story, the timid, insignificant heroine was caught by Pei Ci while trying to elope with another man and beaten to death with clubs.
Once Shen Wanwan takes over the mess, her motto is: “If I have no morals, no one can guilt-trip me.”
Faced with Pei Ci’s deadly dagger, she immediately throws herself into the mud, “rolling around to pray for her younger brother’s good fortune.” Her specialty is going completely off the rails and giving up.
Who knew this nine-thousand-year-old eunuch, who kills without blinking, could hear her thoughts!
And so, the court’s atmosphere takes a sudden turn:
Shen Wanwan, aloud: “Second Brother is wise and mighty. Your sister-in-law admires you beyond words!”
In her head: [The old fox is showing off again. This rotten court is doomed. Once I get my monthly pay, I’m booking out the Drunken Immortal House to listen to music.]
Pei Ci, raising an eyebrow: “Oh? Then I’ll take you there, and buy the Drunken Immortal House for you while we’re at it.”
Shen Wanwan: ???
Later, the court officials discover that the dreaded nine-thousand-year-old eunuch spends every day chasing after his “frail and helpless” widowed sister-in-law, cleaning up her messes and spoiling her rotten.
Shen Wanwan: Wasn’t he supposed to be a great villain? How did he turn into a clingy sweetheart?!
