Reborn as the Maid of a Forced-Marriage Novel's Heroine

Wen Genggeng transmigrates into a story about coercive romance.

She becomes the dowry maid who helps her young mistress escape, only to be ground to dust by the sinister Crown Prince.

According to the plot, her young mistress is determined to run away, but every failed escape ends with the maid being punished.

In the end, the maid loses limbs, her sight, and her hearing, and is beaten to death with clubs.

Fortunately, Wen Genggeng is bound to a rewind System.

At first:

Her young mistress tries to escape with a substitute groom on her wedding night. Rewind!

Her young mistress sets the mansion on fire and escapes amid the chaos. Rewind, rewind!

Her young mistress fakes her death to escape. Rewind, rewind, rewind!

Later:

What should she do after getting caught sneaking pastries at the palace banquet? Rewind!

What should she do after spilling soup on her young mistress? Rewind!

What should she do when she's short on sleep and wants a nap? Rewind!

Murong Huai, heir to the Great Yong throne, has always been cold and merciless, with no regard for others.

When his fiancée runs away and leaves her maid to take her place, Murong Huai smashes the bridal chamber and calmly orders the maid's Achilles tendons severed.

The next second, the wreckage before him vanishes. The maid is kneeling in the same spot. "Sorry, I rewound to the wrong point. I'll go back another day and bring the young lady back."

Murong Huai: ?

At the palace banquet, he is impeached by a court official, summoned by the emperor for a scolding, and made to kneel for half an hour. He gets up, blinks, and finds himself back where he was before he knelt.

After breakfast, he finishes a bowl of bitter herbal medicine. He sets down his spoon, and the bowl is full again.

At the third watch of the night, after tossing and turning until dawn, he finally sits up, only for night to fall again.

Murong Huai: ...

Everyone knows the Eastern Palace has a dowry maid who is dependable in every way and highly favored by the Crown Prince.

Since she arrived, the Crown Prince's temperament has changed dramatically, and he no longer metes out punishments on a whim.

Everyone in the household curries favor with Wen Genggeng, convinced she is about to become the Crown Prince's concubine.

Sure enough, before long, Murong Huai summons her to his bed.

That night, the red candles burn brightly, and everyone waits for good news.

But before dawn the next day, Wen Genggeng rewinds time and runs away.

When Murong Huai opens his eyes, the bed is cold and empty.

Enraged, he sends everyone out to search, scouring the lands of Great Yong until he finally catches her.

But just as he is about to lock her up, her figure blurs before his eyes, and she escapes again.

Wen Genggeng: Work's over. That's enough suffering for today. ^_^
