Lu Shang transmigrated into a book: a melodramatic novel full of stand-ins, revenge, and tearjerker tropes that she'd stayed up all night reading. Before the story began, she became a cannon-fodder concubine the hero brought into his prince's manor to appease his colleagues.
She had no interest in the two leads and their turbulent love-hate relationship. The only person she felt sorry for was the hero's first wife, An Ying.
An Ying came from a powerful family. She had also been born prematurely, leaving her in poor health and dependent on medicine all year round. She was too frail to withstand the two lunatics at the center of the story. Barely halfway through the plot, she passed away, becoming the moonlight in the hearts of countless readers.
The woman she'd pitied in the original book was now standing right in front of her. Lu Shang decided to follow her heart: she'd become best friends with An Ying, then take her and run away!
So you keep your wife sick and frail, do you? Fine, I'll show you how to take proper care of a wife!
For this, she devised a detailed plan to become best friends with the Princess Consort of An.
Stage One: Become friends.
Stage Two: Become close friends who could lie in the same bed and chat.
Stage Three: Take her best friend far away, escaping from those two lunatics!
Later, Lu Shang successfully escaped with the Princess Consort of An. When she found that plan in the study again, she had just gritted her teeth and crossed out the last item, her legs weak, when An Ying came to find her, smelling of medicine. An Ying took her hand and carefully wrote on the paper, stroke by stroke: Stage Three: Marry An Ying and lure the enemy in.
Well, fine.
Prince of Zhennan, your wife is wonderful. She's mine now.

An Ying had a secret. It was true that she came from a powerful family, and it was also true that she was unwanted. The first secret letter she received from home while living at an estate said she was to take the place of her fugitive elder sister and marry into the Prince of Zhennan's household.
Her elder sister was in poor health and needed medicine all year round, so to make An Ying fit the role, they forced her to drink poisonous concoctions that gradually weakened her body. Once an An Ying who had raced horses and hunted, she was now confined to bed and extremely sensitive to the cold.
Her days dragged by, dull and monotonous, until her useless husband took in a concubine named Lu Shang. Then life became far more interesting.
Soon after Lu Shang entered the prince's manor, the Prince of Zhennan was summoned by imperial decree to the frontier. No one knew how long it would be before he returned to the capital. The next day, An Ying saw a pair of bright, shining eyes gazing at her.
They were beautiful.
But even the most beautiful eyes could be worn down by life in the four walls of the prince's manor. The first time An Ying saw Lu Shang, she thought, I want to pluck those eyes out and make time stop at the moment they look their best.
One winter, Lu Shang, wrapped in a scarlet cloak, lay across her lap. Her eyes shining, she said, “What if I take you away from here? Just the two of us, opening a cosmetics shop in Jiangnan. You can run it, and I'll be your assistant. How does that sound?”
An Ying straightened the jeweled hairpin in Lu Shang's hair and turned her head to cough softly. “That sounds lovely. Take me away. Anywhere is fine.”
How could she bear to make her sunshine work as a shop assistant?
She gently stroked Lu Shang's eyelid with her thumb, thinking that those eyes looked best when they were on her.
Little Scene
One day, after An Ying and Lu Shang had escaped far away, they ran into the Prince of Zhennan.
The Prince of Zhennan had never imagined his own household could catch fire. He glared at his former wife and former concubine: “I had no idea you took this concubine for yourself!”
1. An Ying and the original novel's leads have absolutely nothing going on!
2. It's basically a seemingly frail, kind, but secretly gloomy and obsessive beauty who takes the lead × a sunny, lively, straightforward ray of sunshine who follows.
3. I actually wanted to call it Her Lips. But then I thought, “If you don't know how to take care of your wife, I'll do it,” sounded so satisfying, so I changed the title.
Theme: Freedom
The cunning mistress of the prince actually interfered in the relationship between the princess and his concubine [Pigeon]
Sooner or later, I will have an identity that I can be jealous of 🐶 😍
This is the most heart-wrenching thing, little birdie, someone finally cares about you. The two of you need to be good to each other. I wish you a long time.
Ah, I thought of a joke that has nothing to do with this article. I came across a post saying that I heard two old ladies chatting, saying that they walked around the supermarket every day and went to the dried fruit section to eat two jujubes, cashews, peanuts, etc. The comment below said that these are the real daily nuts hahahahahahaha
