[Synopsis written in 2024, with a screenshot archived and posted on Weibo]
Ji Lanfeng transmigrates into a novel about a domineering hero, as a universally despised beauty destined to be cannon fodder. From the start, his parents lay out two clear paths for him.
First, get castrated and sent to the palace to become a eunuch.
Second, disguise himself as a woman, marry in his sister's place, and become the wife of the Yongning Prince's brutal, deranged heir.
Ji Lanfeng's eyes light up. "Father, Mother, no need to say more. I'll marry him!"
The reason is simple: the Yongning Prince's younger son, his future brother-in-law, is the infant destined to trample the Six Kingdoms and unite the world.
And the heir he is to marry is already gravely ill and will soon be dead.
Get promoted, get rich, and become a widow: he's determined to be a beautiful, wealthy young widow.
So Ji Lanfeng discards every quality a 21st-century working man ought to have and humbly studies the Three Obediences and Four Virtues, makeup, embroidery, flower arranging, and making soup.
On their wedding night, his husband lifts his veil. Ji Lanfeng gazes at him with tender eyes and says coquettishly, "My husband."
After a moment's thought, the man across from him asks, "What's the first word on the CET-4 and CET-6 vocabulary list?"
"...Abandon?"
His husband is a transmigrator. His husband won't be dying just yet. His husband is pretty handsome, but he's incredibly lazy.
His husband was a workaholic in modern times, but after transmigrating, all he wants is to lie flat and be a lazy fish.
As for the domineering hero...the little hero is sucking on his fingers by the door.
Ji Lanfeng's dream of becoming a beautiful, wealthy widow is on the verge of collapse, but he doesn't want to give up.
The first thing he says each morning is a few words of encouragement to his husband.
"You're the best, darling. Here, drink your soup. Once you're done, can you go south of the Yangtze and manage the floods?"
Whenever someone else's husband dies, he kindly reminds his own.
"Darling, look. The worst thing in life is loving someone and not being able to stay together. We should cherish the peace we have now. So, do you know what you should do?"
His husband: "Go wash the dishes in the kitchen?"
"No, someone else is washing the dishes. Go to the prison and kill those rebels."
"..."
Years later, in the imperial palace, beneath its glittering glazed tiles, the ministers bow their heads.
His husband sighs from the dragon throne. "What do I do, darling? I meant to lie flat for the rest of my life, so how did I end up emperor? Now I can't lie flat, and you can't be a happy little widow anymore."
Ji Lanfeng counts the money in his box, grinning, and points outside the hall. "Deal with your little brother first."
Outside the hall, the domineering hero eagerly grabs a handsome young man's arm. "Big brother, do you know what the most important quality in the world is?"
The young man furrows his sharp brows and, after a long pause, hesitantly replies, "...Abandon?"
