[A female lead who doesn't overthink things vs. a feudal emperor]
Jiang Qingyue was just a minor extra on a film set when she somehow transmigrated to the Great You Dynasty and became its empress.
After carefully keeping her head down in the imperial palace for five years, an assassination attempt sent her back to the modern world.
While unconscious, she seemed to dream about a book.
Its title was The Fake Heiress's Beloved Life in a Wealthy Family.
There was a supporting female character with the same name as her, the real heiress who had been lost to the world.
The fake heiress, the female lead, was gentle and pure, adored by her parents and brothers, and pampered by her wealthy fiance.
But the real heiress, Jiang Qingyue, was a twisted, ruthless villainess who met a miserable end.
Jiang Qingyue herself: "???"
Whoever wants to play the villainess can have her.
She thought the dream was made up, but then her birth family really did find her and bring her back to their wealthy household.
--
When Chu Chengyi and his son woke after falling off a cliff, they found themselves in a strange and dazzling place.
Seeing speeding cars and towering skyscrapers, father and son gaped in astonishment.
But why did that oddly dressed woman on the street look more and more like their own cautious, reserved empress?
Little scene:
Chu Chengyi: "Come and dress me."
Jiang Qingyue: "Do you not have hands?"
Chu Chengyi: "Jiang Qingyue, how dare you!"
Jiang Qingyue shrugged. "Your Majesty, this is the modern world. Who's going to indulge you here?"
In short: the story of a feudal emperor forced to become a model modern citizen.
Content warnings:
1. The male lead is a feudal emperor, so don't judge him by modern standards. His character will gradually change later on.
2. The female lead had little affection for the male lead in ancient times. He was entirely focused on his career.
3. There's a cute kid.
