[Transmigrate Into a Book] [The Strongest Female Lead's Wingwoman] [The Powerful One Falls in Love] [A Lightly Scheming Succession Struggle] [Mutually Devoted Couple]
[Cautious, Laid-Back Female Lead vs. Smiling-on-the-Outside, Dark-on-the-Inside Scheming Male Lead]
Kong Xiaowan wakes up to find she has transmigrated into a book, as a cannon-fodder supporting female character who won't survive half a chapter in a political intrigue novel.
According to the original story, tonight she will be casually killed by the male lead, Prince Xie Zhiyu, a refined-looking man with a wicked heart, becoming the least valuable sacrifice in her father's power-hungry dealings.
She transmigrates into a book and finds herself in a death trap from the start. Her only lifeline, the System, runs out of power and abandons her at the worst possible moment, leaving her with the entire original plot and telling her to fend for herself.
As a college student who has never even entered the workforce, Kong Xiaowan is completely at a loss.
Xie Zhiyu is a cold-faced prince who seems as pure as the moon and a fresh breeze, with impeccable virtue, earning everyone's respect.
Behind closed doors, he is calculating and ruthless. To seize the throne, he can abandon his brothers and treat human lives as chess pieces. Everyone under heaven is a pawn in his schemes.
"Didn't your father teach you to pay your respects when you see me?"
"You must die tonight so that I can live."
The candlelight flickers. Dagger in hand, he regards her coldly, intent on ending the life of this troublesome pawn himself.
Once a pitiful cannon-fodder girl forced to be sacrificed, all she wants now is to keep her head down, stay alive, and avoid trouble.
But fate loves a joke.
The more she tries to escape, the more entangled she becomes with Xie Zhiyu. And time and again, by sheer coincidence, she saves him when his life hangs in the balance.
Later, the man keeps her trapped within arm's reach, his voice low and tender, laden with possessiveness and probing curiosity. "Don't move."
"Didn't you say you were most afraid of me? Do you know what happens next?"
