Synopsis
[A clear-headed, independent office worker heroine x a soft-spoken man #1 and a savage man #2 (1v2)]
An overworked office worker stays up late reading explicit fiction and dies, only to transmigrate into the world of an explicit novel? Chen Liyue never expected her life to end like this!
She was an office worker who liked staying up late to read explicit fiction. All it took was a few angry comments about how “explicit fiction ruins promising young people,” and the System punished her by killing her and sending her into a novel with two male leads?
She traded her life for money while alive, and now she has to scrape by after death! Chen Liyue refuses to accept this!
Even more absurdly, the System tells her she has to win over both male leads to stay alive.
The original heroine is beautiful and delicate. Though she is the Empress’s adopted daughter, she is forced to marry a barbarian king of the steppe. Later, during a war, she meets a drugged prince from the Central Plains, and in the end, all three die together, unable to bear being apart.
She’s a tool from beginning to end! One male lead is physically savage, the other psychologically savage! They take turns tormenting her. How is she supposed to solve this?
No way! She curses the System again. In response, the System imposes a punishment: if her intimacy scores don’t meet the requirements, it will take control of her and the male leads’ bodies and force them to reenact the original novel’s iconic scenes!
Oh, no! You can’t go all the way for real in the iconic scenes of an explicit novel!
Male Lead #1: Feng Han, the frail, deposed crown prince of the Central Plains royal family. A typical masked male lead who lives by the maxim, “Everything exists to serve my interests.” Chen Liyue shakes her head. Male contestant #2: a delicate scholar, 180 centimeters tall.
Male Lead #2: Taer, the youngest barbarian king of the Baiwei tribe. A beastlike male lead who lives by the maxim, “Might makes right.” Chen Liyue shakes her head again. Male contestant #1: a dark-skinned athlete, 190 centimeters tall.
When in Rome, do as the Romans do. She’s a levelheaded, clear-minded office worker, a born workhorse in her boss’s eyes, and she’s best at handling difficult clients. A royal family from the Central Plains and a power from the steppe: how hard can two men be to deal with? She’s going to navigate between them and win herself a way to survive!
But after Chen Liyue is sent to marry Taer, she discovers he isn’t a tyrant by nature. The elders have stripped him of power, and his savagery and domineering ways are simply strategies for survival. Can’t read? She’ll teach him! Don’t understand strategy? She’ll teach him!
And Feng Han, who has fallen on hard times in a frontier village, isn’t really a weak scholar either. He uses schemes and disguises, all to seize the throne. Can’t farm? Don’t understand the people’s needs? Give her a break. She’s an experienced office worker, and she’ll make sure he gets his feet on the ground!
Farming, survival, and keeping your feet on the ground.
Feng Han has been arrogant for twenty years, but he has never truly experienced what it means to be alive. She taught him that not everything can be kept through scheming.
Literacy, arithmetic, and managing a tribe.
Taer has gained much through violence, but he has never met a woman like her. She taught him that you can win everything without relying on your fists.
Chen Liyue looks at the changes in the two men with satisfaction.
Great! One has successfully seized the throne, and the other has united the tribes!
Now she can finally take the money they gave her and live a life of financial freedom!
She packs her things, ready to run away and roam the world with her silver. But when she steps outside, the two doormen block her path, their faces full of anger!
“You’re... in my way!”
“You can’t leave! Aren’t you our heroine?”
Huh? What?
Chen Liyue freezes.
Have the paper characters in this explicit novel awakened?
So those iconic scenes she was forced into before: were they the System’s punishments, or were the men playing along of their own accord?
