Chi Xuening transmigrates into an ancient-era yuri ABO novel, becoming the scummy, villainous consort who shares her name.
The good news is that she's the daughter of a powerful minister with top-tier Qianyuan blood, and she's married to Jiang Shiyun, the most beautiful eldest princess in the empire.
The bad news is that the eldest princess is probably less than six months away from slicing her into a thousand pieces.
In the original story, the original Chi Xuening is a complete sadist and scumbag, tormenting the eldest princess after their marriage, beating and abusing her. Later, she even conspires with an enemy nation, bringing about the eldest princess's downfall and the destruction of her country. She dies miserably in the snow.
The key point is that the current eldest princess is reborn.
Reborn with a deep-seated grudge from her previous life, Jiang Shiyun secretly sharpens her knife every day, plotting how to skin Chi Xuening alive, grind her bones to dust, and scatter them to the winds.
Chi Xuening transmigrates at the worst possible moment: her wedding night, with the whip she used to abuse the princess still in her hand.
Meeting the eldest princess's beautiful eyes, filled with poison and a desire to tear her apart and devour her, Chi Xuening's knees give way. She drops to the floor with a thud.
Chi Xuening suffers in silence: Is it too late for me to slit my throat and get reincarnated?
To save her own life, Chi Xuening begins her trembling, cautious redemption routine.
When others impeach the princess at court, she rolls up her sleeves and rushes forward to curse the old man out.
When an assassin tries to kill the princess, she throws herself in front of her without a second thought, taking two bloody wounds and nearly dying.
When the princess's Kunze heat comes on and she is in unbearable pain, Chi Xuening bites her finger to stay clearheaded, locks herself outside the door, and releases her soothing scent, never laying a finger on the princess.
After more than a year of living on tenterhooks, Chi Xuening realizes things aren't going the way she expected.
The killing intent is gone from Jiang Shiyun's gaze. Instead, she looks at Chi Xuening as if... she wants to keep her bound to her forever.
One night, the eldest princess's bedchamber is filled with the sweet, alluring scent of a Kunze in heat.
Jiang Shiyun's eyes are unnaturally red. Her fingertips clutch Chi Xuening's neck as she breathes hotly against her ear.
Chi Xuening trembles with fright. "Your Highness, I really can't do this. I'll go call the imperial physician!"
Later, when Chi Xuening sees that the princess has grown more stable, she prepares to run away with a divorce agreement in hand.
Jiang Shiyun gives a cold laugh. "You dare try to run without my permission?"
Chi Xuening, why are you running?
Beg me. Beg me, and I'll let you go.
Anyone who covets you deserves to die.
Since you chose to provoke me in this life, your eyes and heart can belong to no one but me.
Be bound to me for all eternity. That's your punishment.
