Money-grubbing, laid-back transmigrated heroine X deranged, violent royal heir
Shen Yao, a hardcore internet surfer, never expected to ride the trend of transmigrating into a book.
The good news: She transmigrated into the role of the male lead's wife.
The bad news: In the end, she cheats on him and gets stabbed to death by the male lead.
The even worse news: The System requires her to follow the plot exactly as written, without a single mistake!
Hearing this, Shen Yao flops onto the bed with a thump. She slowly closes her eyes and says, "It's not like I absolutely have to follow this plot."
She thinks she'd be quite happy just lying here. At least she'd die peacefully.
"If Host completes the mission, not only can you return to the real world, you'll also receive a lottery ticket worth ten million!"
Shen Yao rolls right off the bed and springs to her feet.
"Let's go! This is the plot I'm following! For this world! For this universe! Who else could take on this mission but me?"

This is Xiao Yancheng's ninth time being reborn.
He thought it would be another identical loop.
But this time, he suddenly heard his wife's inner thoughts.
"No wonder the male lead is the male lead. Those broad shoulders, that narrow waist, those long legs. What a bargain!"
His wife seems to have changed.

A little scene
Shen Yao follows the plot and drugs the male lead, forcing him to consummate their marriage.
But when she sees the medicine priced at two taels of gold on the black market,
Shen Yao really can't bring herself to pay for it. She bargains with the System: "We don't actually have to drug him, right? We just have to make the gesture, right?"
"Look, the male lead won't be drugged anyway, and I'll be the one who drinks that bowl of medicine in the end."
"I don't think I need to drink it either. I can just pretend, and that'll be that. What do you say, System?"
The System, thoroughly bamboozled, replies uncertainly, "I guess that should work."
So, on the night she is supposed to drug him, Shen Yao adds a spoonful of sugar to the soup and even takes a leisurely taste. It isn't bad.
Shen Yao obsequiously carries the sweetened soup to Xiao Yancheng's study and flashes her perfect eight-tooth smile.
"I made this soup especially for you. You've been working hard lately."
[Added an extra spoonful of sugar on purpose]
Shen Yao assumes he definitely won't drink it, but the next second, Xiao Yancheng downs the whole thing.
[!!!! System, the plot's gone off the rails!!!!]
The System tries to sound calm. [It should be fine, Host. You didn't put any drugs in it, so the plot should still be under control...]
Before the System can finish, Shen Yao sees Xiao Yancheng, who had been sitting perfectly normally, suddenly flush red across both cheeks.
He sways and collapses onto the desk.
His beautiful, almond-shaped eyes glisten with tears as he glares at her.
"What did you put in the soup?!"
Heaven knows, she really did only add an extra spoonful of sugar!
