We All Transmigrated into Books, So Why Was I Killed from the Start?

The good news: I transmigrated into a book as the heroine, a pampered princess of noble birth.

The bad news: My childhood friend stabbed me the moment I arrived!

Luckily, the protagonist's plot armor was strong. Shen Siwei not only survived against all odds, but was also taken in as a goddaughter by a tea merchant couple.

After waking up, she assessed the situation: her father, the emperor, was already dead; her brother, the crown prince, was missing and might be dead; and the original male lead, her childhood sweetheart, had gone over to the villain...

Shen Siwei: Excuse me! What's all this about restoring the kingdom and political intrigue? Making money is so much better!

With the wisdom of a foodie, she helped her adoptive parents run their tea shop, introducing tea bags and sample packs until business was booming.

Later, she decided to make cold drinks and successfully opened her first shop. Floral teas, fruit teas, milk teas, and all kinds of other drinks followed one after another.

In ancient times, without air conditioning, her cold-drink shop made a fortune every day. She even managed to rope in a handsome, gentle, and incredibly rich partner.

She thought she could enjoy life as a wealthy woman in the past, but who knew that accursed royal uncle would put a knife to her throat again?

Dragged into a struggle at court, Shen Siwei looked up to the heavens and sighed. "I really just want to quietly live as a rich woman!"

Pei Yan once thought his life was destined to be a stagnant pond.

Everyone said he was a gentle, refined gentleman, but no one knew what he regretted.

First, he was full of ambition to serve the country and its people, but his merchant background left him no way to do so. Second, he was the richest man in the region, yet found doing business utterly boring.

Then he met Shen Siwei and watched her turn a tiny, insignificant business into something lively and thriving.

In that little tea shop, he learned for the first time how lively and interesting business could be. For the first time in his life, someone healed all the old wounds and resentments in his heart.

When chaos descended, he made plans for the crown prince, playing a grand game to overthrow the imperial order.

He'd thought he could calculate every move and control the whole situation, but when he learned that she had been caught up in the turmoil, he lost all composure and entered the fray alone.

After everything had settled, the new emperor rewarded those who had contributed.

He declined the titles of chancellor and marquis, wishing only to become her consort, making her up and brewing tea for her every day.

The following is an upcoming story

Xiaoman had worked as a rough servant in Prince Su's household for two years. She spent every day being meek and cautious, and had never caused any trouble.

She thought she'd spend the rest of her life growing old in the prince's manor. But fate had other plans. One night, Prince Su drank too much and fell headfirst into a pond. She scrambled to haul the live demon king out of the water, and somehow got her contract of servitude back.

The young woman was pretty and charming, so the neighborhood ruffians kept harassing her. With nowhere else to turn, Xiaoman slapped her belly and told everyone she was already carrying Prince Su's child. Once she gave birth to a baby boy, she said, the prince's carriage would come to take them both away.

And surprisingly, it worked. Everyone feared the live demon king, who held power over the court. Nobody dared bully her anymore, and they even scrambled to flatter her.

Xiaoman secretly congratulated herself and enjoyed her comfortable life.

Who would have thought that telling the same lie too often would bring retribution?

One day, the door opened, and Prince Su, Wei Jin, stood outside with a cold look in his eyes. He was said to kill without blinking. Xiaoman began to tremble in fear.

This time, she was probably going to lose her life!

--

Prince Su, Wei Jin, held immense power at court. He was a live demon king who responded to force, not kindness. When people spoke his name, even crying babies could hold back their tears.

Then one day, a strange rumor suddenly swept through the capital: he'd left a love child somewhere, and the young woman was already carrying his baby.

At first, Wei Jin thought it was absurd. What fool would dare slander him? But the rumor spread with such convincing details that even the young woman's name and the time she'd worked in the manor were known.

Lying in bed beneath the gauze curtains that night, Wei Jin carefully recalled the night he'd fallen into the pond. He couldn't help wondering: Could he really have gotten drunk, lost his morals, and done something unforgivable?

To clear his name, Wei Jin went to the young woman's home himself.

At the sight of Jiang Xiaoman, who was talking through her hat, Wei Jin saw through her at a glance.

The girl couldn't even keep her lies straight. When she saw him, she was too scared to speak. She wanted to run but didn't dare, so she just stood there and pretended to act tough.

Wei Jin had meant to get angry, but her dazed attempt to act clever somehow amused him. He decided to take her back to the manor and play along with her little charade.

One day, Xiaoman walked a little too fast, and the padding tucked into her waistband fell out, landing right in front of Wei Jin's boots.

Xiaoman's face turned ashen. She thought she was surely about to die without even a proper burial. But Wei Jin leisurely picked up the padding and tossed it back into her arms, saying with a straight face, "What are you dawdling for? Hurry up and put it back. Don't let my child catch cold."
