After staying up all night writing a practical training report, Xie Wanyin dies suddenly. When she opens her eyes, she has become the eldest legitimate daughter of the prime minister in an ancient political intrigue novel.
The "transmigrate into a book conquest System" gives her an ultimatum: conquer the original male lead, raise his affection level, cut out a huge amount of pointless filler, and help the male and female leads get together.
If she succeeds, she can return to the modern world. If she fails, she'll be trapped in the book forever.
As the most doted-on legitimate daughter of the prime minister's household, she has a conquest guide in hand and should be carefully plotting to win over the Prince of Zhenbei. Instead, she falls for the household's resident guest scholar.
Wen Jingran is a guest scholar specially invited by her father. With his refined, gentle features, he is always dressed in a plain robe, frail and sickly, and spends his days inside the estate. He obeys her in everything, addressing her as "Miss Wanyin" with a tenderness as gentle as spring water.
When he learns that she plans to pursue the Prince of Zhenbei, he volunteers to become her "strategist," helping her assess the prince's household, preparing a birthday gift for him, and even accompanying her to the borderlands for a "chance encounter." But gradually, she notices something unsettling about this "well-behaved scholar." He is nothing like the man he pretends to be...
As her political enemies fall, the instant her conquest is complete, the System's alarm sounds in full force. Wen Jingran traps Xie Wanyin inside a warm fur cloak. He sheds his gentle disguise and wraps his arms around her, then says softly, eyes reddening, "Stop thinking about the Prince of Zhenbei. You should show me a little pity for once..."
