[Man Disguised as a Woman + Devoted to Each Other + Lighthearted Comedy + Secret Identity Revealed]
On the third day after Wen Ci transmigrates into a book, only one night remains before the original story's ending.
The male lead will die tonight, the heroine will take her own life tomorrow, and the culprit is that damn emperor who insists on interfering.
And she, disguised as a man, works as an official under that damn emperor.
The Villainous Official System points her toward a way to survive: embezzle funds, form a faction, and seize power; depose the emperor, put Prince Ning on the throne, then make Su Wanwan empress.
Wen Ci rolls up her sleeves and gets to work.
She steals a military map, first swiping five thousand taels; she's ordered to draw a female thief and discovers the thief is herself; she sneaks into Xishan at night to rescue someone and gets caught by the emperor again.
Xiao Zhi says, "Wherever I go, you follow. Are you in love with me?"
Wen Ci takes a deep breath.
She's after his throne, but he thinks she wants him!
Xiao Zhi even reminds her, "I only like Wanwan. Don't get any ideas about me."
Wen Ci records his words that very night, wishing she could get him to sign and seal them.
Later, Prince Ning is set to ascend the throne, and Su Wanwan is set to become empress.
Wen Ci tucks away the abdication edict and prepares to bow out after completing her mission, only to find an emperor in her own bed.
"Everything's been taken care of."
Xiao Zhi holds down the hand she's trying to use to escape.
"Shouldn't you be thinking about me too, Your Majesty's Minister?"
Wen Ci clutches her money pouch. "I really did spend those five thousand taels. There's no way you're getting them back!"
"I'll give you my money and my empire. I only want you, my dear minister!"
