Everyone seems to say that Crown Prince Fu Jingyun is aloof, taciturn, and indifferent to women, a block of ice that can never be warmed. But only Susan knows how "sweet" her Crown Prince husband is in private. As a commoner woman unexpectedly married to the Crown Prince, Su Xiaoxiao thought she would be forced to live a life of widowhood in the Eastern Palace.

Regenerating synopsis... Successfully regenerated." The seasoned, critical reader Su Xiaoxiao, after vehemently criticizing a melodramatic novel, was forcibly transported into the book's world by a "transmigration system." She initially wanted to escape the plot full of flaws, but discovered that this world had escaped the control of the original work. Not only did she become a key figure in driving the plot, but she also unexpectedly encountered the novel's author, whose identity was shrouded in mystery and who had also transmigrated. Now, the court's conspiracies are closing in. These two "enemies," bound by their criticisms and now with opposing identities, must put aside their differences and join forces to fight a common enemy and uncover the ultimate truth behind the system and the world's loss of control in order to survive in this perilous world.
