Su Zhiwei stayed up all night reading a tragic historical romance and got so angry she actually died!
When she opens her eyes, she’s become the vicious supporting character in the book, who shares her name!
What happens to that character in the story?
Her father and brother are beheaded by the Crown Prince for treason, her younger sister is married into a dissolute family and tormented until she hangs herself, and she herself is deposed and given poisoned wine. The entire family, a distinguished clan of a hundred years, is executed!
Su Zhiwei: “That damned Crown Prince can go to whoever wants him. I’m done serving him!”
She promptly dumps the Crown Prince, then carries a freshly stewed pot of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall to find the book’s unmarried imperial uncle, Xiao Jue, and propose a partnership.
In the book, this imperial uncle avoids women like the plague. Even palace maids who come within three feet of him get thrown out.
That must mean he’s gay, right? Ha, safe!
But as they work together, she ends up pinned against the redwood doors of his manor, kissed senseless by Xiao Jue.
The man holds her by the waist and chuckles. “Now do you know if I can perform?”
Su Zhiwei: “Help! The book lied! This imperial uncle can do it, and he can really do it!”
