Honest People Can't Sell, Someone Help the Honest!

[Updates every other day]

Good news: You're an honest person.

Bad news: You transmigrate straight into prison, charged with hundreds of crimes. The guard captain watching over you has kidnapped his own superior, a high-ranking noble, along with you.

In short: Get ready to kick off your glorious escape!

Zhou Xiaojie: "..."

Zhou Xiaojie: "What's so glorious about this?!"

After spending a week in prison following her transmigration, Zhou Xiaojie accepts her fate.

After being dragged aboard a pirate ship and fleeing in a sorry state, Zhou Xiaojie comes to terms with it.

Their captive is a noble with deep connections, influence everywhere, and pursuers coming out of the woodwork. As she's hounded until she's at her wit's end, the noble himself addresses her every day with either "commoner" or "I'll kill you"... Zhou Xiaojie learns to let it go.

"It can't be helped," she says gloomily after they're caught. "I'm an honest person, after all. I have no schemes or tricks up my sleeve. It's only natural that I'd get swallowed whole by society."

"...So that's your excuse for dumping me, selling the love tokens my cousin and uncle gave you, and dating someone online who eventually ran off with their first love, saying they were going to pursue their dreams?!" the noble asks in disbelief.

* The heroine is honest, timid, and spineless. She's the snarky one, and the pacing is slow.

* It has an old-school Mary Sue feel. Everyone loves the heroine, and cars burst their tires when they see her. Most of the male leads are spoiled, entitled elites.

* This isn't a strong-female-lead story. It's a romance-focused novel. Please be kind when reading; comments containing contentious opinions will be deleted, ovo.

Theme: Change your fate against all odds through your own efforts
