A clever, resilient woman who transmigrates into a book × a dark, world-weary prince living in exile
Synopsis One
In the original story, the young tyrant Mu Hanying endured years of hardship in the general’s residence, only to end up a corpse left to bake on the city wall for three days, forever remembered as a tyrant.
This pitiful, doomed tyrant was the person Shi Chenyue had to save after transmigrating into the book. Her mission was to raise him into a virtuous, wise ruler who was learned and principled.
Looking at the boy her father had brought home, Shi Chenyue decided to finish her mission as soon as possible and return to the real world. So she taught him manners, morality, and how to conduct himself, and helped him shoulder the responsibilities that were his to bear.
Unfortunately, just as she was getting started, everything fell apart: the System had a bug!!! She could only leave a hurried note before disappearing for years.
When they met again, the young tyrant didn’t seem to have gone astray. He was humble and courteous, surrounded by friends, and no longer the mad little tyrant he once was.
Unfortunately, Shi Chenyue was wrong. He couldn’t tell the loyal from the treacherous, ruled with cruelty, and kept her imprisoned within the palace walls day and night, not allowing her to take a single step outside.
Only then did Shi Chenyue finally understand: the young tyrant really was beyond saving!!
Synopsis Two
Mu Hanying had lived in the mud since childhood, leading a wretched life. His mind was full of manipulation and schemes, and even he loathed himself.
He couldn’t understand why Shi Chenyue, having seen through his mask and witnessed how filthy and despicable he was, would still come close to him. Why had she so steadfastly said those words?
She said, “Mu Hanying, I’m not afraid of you.”
Those words were a glimmer in the dark of night. They gave Mu Hanying a thread of hope, and made him feel there was no one in the world better than Shi Chenyue.
But Mu Hanying also thought it absurd that a villain as wicked as he was could one day be called a “good person,” while Shi Chenyue said she herself wasn’t one.
It was only later that Mu Hanying realized every step Shi Chenyue took was carefully considered, as if one wrong move would condemn her to ruin.
He began to feel afraid and uneasy, terrified that Shi Chenyue would leave him and the world would once again become disgusting and dull.
But she still vanished without warning, leaving him alone in this world. Mu Hanying had thought he hated Shi Chenyue with all his heart, but when he saw her again, he finally understood: it wasn’t hatred. It was endless longing.
He imprisoned her within the palace walls and questioned her over and over.
“Three years. Did you really not feel even a little pity for me?” He didn’t care about her answer. In his heart, he swore again and again that this time, no matter what, he would never let her go.
As long as Shi Chenyue would stay by his side, he would gladly suffer any agony, even if it meant utter ruin...
Reading Guide
① The leads have only been with each other; the romance is a significant part of the story.
② The author won’t abandon the novel.
③ The female lead is resilient and gentle. She sees through the male lead’s disguise from the start, but never backs down.
④ She doesn’t treat the male lead as a tool for getting home. Everyone in the story is fully realized, and there are no misunderstandings between the leads that can’t be resolved.
⑤ The story focuses on character growth, including that of the supporting cast.
⑥ There may be a little angst in places, but not too much, so don’t worry.
⑦!! Some readers feel the male lead falls for the female lead a little quickly, though her feelings develop normally. This will be explained later, no spoilers!!
⑧ No, I have to make it eight. There, done! Hope you enjoy reading!
