[Transmigrate into a book + all male leads are pure + harem rivalry + all-in + satisfying read + doomed female side character becomes everyone's dream girl]
Lu Youning transmigrated into a doomed female side character in a novel about a girl adored by everyone. The heroine schemed against her, leading to her tragic death.
The heroine, meanwhile, stayed safely out of sight while the most powerful and influential men in the court became her devoted admirers.
When Lu Youning opened her eyes, it was her wedding night with the aloof heir apparent, and she was about to force herself on him.
The heir shoved her aside with one hand.
On the spot, she acted out a scene about letting him be with the Sixth Princess, then knocked over a candle while he slept and faked her death.
Since her fate in the book was to die, she decided to be a bad woman.
She timed her visit to pass by the entrance to her sickly older brother's courtyard. He looked up and blocked her way. "What took you so long?"
She offered to apply medicine to the unruly general, but her hand shook even more than his. The general pulled her into his arms. "Why are you shaking? Weren't you the one who made the first move?"
She stood beneath the osmanthus tree, picking a branch and pretending to stumble. Her childhood friend pinned her against the tree. "You're mine now."
She used grinding ink as an excuse to get close to the sharp-minded prime minister, only for the aloof beauty to cover her eyes. "Are you looking for me?"
She thought she was good at playing her part, thought she was being a bad woman.
Once everything had settled, she wanted to run.
When she opened the door, several men were blocking the entrance.
Her sickly older brother said, "Where do you think you're going?"
The unruly general said, "You messed with me and think you can run?"
Her scheming childhood friend said, "Wherever you go, I'll follow."
The sharp-minded prime minister said, "You brought this on yourself, so you'll have to take responsibility."
The aloof heir knelt before her. "Don't leave me."
Lu Youning: ...
What happened to being a bad woman? How did I become the prey?
