Half a year of hard work, all undone in a single day
The good news: You can lie in a hospital bed for the rest of your life.
The bad news: The rest of your life will be over very soon.
There's an old saying: sunk costs should not factor into major decisions.
But Lin Ling ignored that old wisdom.
She somehow ended up aboard a crooked merchant's System ship
and became the villainous heroine in a novel's world.
The bad news: There are countless novels, and this one is set in ancient times.
The good news: There are countless novels, and she is the Crown Prince.
They had agreed that she would do the work and it would provide the labor, but she has to do twice the work herself. On top of advancing the plot, she even has to maintain the world's internal logic.
And after all that, the information is still incomplete!
Crown Prince Lin Ling is known as the Demon King among the noblewomen of the capital.
Lin Ling herself also has a few doglike habits.
They are so alike. How can they not share the same brain?
Day one after she transmigrates:
Lin Ling catches her Crown Prince consort in an affair, then forcibly turns the scandal into a family matter in front of her emperor mother.
Day two after she transmigrates:
Lin Ling accompanies her Crown Prince consort on a visit to his family, playing the lovesick fool in the eyes of his father, the chancellor.
Day three after she transmigrates:
Lin Ling topples the mother of the bastard who dared to cheat on her. What about that bastard? Of course he died that very day.
The second month after she transmigrates:
Lin Ling finally topples that bastard's mother for good, right in front of her own mother.
Lin Ling: That felt great!
Lin Ling is so bold as Crown Prince that there's nothing she won't do, even if it means turning around and chopping off someone's head.
She even treats her own Crown Prince consort like a toy to play with.
But the Crown Prince consort is playing with her, too.
Wait, aren't they each other's toys? Now that's a lively life.
Every game has to end one day. On the day of her coronation, the System actually honors its contract.
Go home? So it was possible to transmigrate here and then transmigrate back?
You guys aren't a shell company after all?
Content warnings:
1. This is a matriarchal feudal society. The emperor, Crown Prince, and officials are all assumed to be women.
2. The protagonists are the original novel's hero and heroine. There is no second male lead who takes over, and no harem.
3. The heroine's goal is always to get home healthy.
4. In the early part, the male and female leads are both enthusiastically putting on an act for each other. These two emotional con artists are busy deceiving one another.
Theme: Never give up or abandon hope. Persistence is victory.
