Walking with Purpose

Dual transmigration into a book | Plot-focused | A peerless martial artist from a general's family x a sickly, scheming adviser

The eldest daughter of the General's Residence, exiled to Dongqu, is returning to the capital. All the powerful families in the city are waiting to see her make a fool of herself.

The eldest daughter of the Lian family has been unruly and hard to tame since childhood. Not only is her behavior vulgar, she is always causing trouble.

What kind of phoenix could a backwater village raise? She had no manners five years ago, and surely she is even worse now.

But when Lian Ruxi arrived in the capital, the powerful families realized something was amiss. It was one thing for the young lady raised in the countryside to be breathtakingly beautiful, but she also had an imposing presence.

With the princes vying for the throne, the capital's royal princes all began courting this beautiful daughter of a general's family.

But this young lady was busy. By day, she had to deal with the nobles who showered her with attention. At night, she had to slip quietly into the Ministry of Rites Minister's residence.

On the couch across from the tea table lay a pale, sickly young man: Ruan Yixing, the least favored illegitimate son of the Minister's household.

"I thought you weren't coming."

"I wasn't late."

"You seemed to enjoy chatting with the Third Prince today."

"If it weren't for the mission, I wouldn't even bother acting."

Ruan Yixing's clear eyes brightened with delight. He teased her with a smile, "Good. I thought you liked him."

Lian Ruxi was baffled. How could he get that idea? "I admire strength. I can't stand people who are all soft and delicate."

Ruan Yixing: "..."

Lian Ruxi had transmigrated into a book. Two months ago, she had accidentally become the cannon-fodder female supporting character in The Emperor's Book. In her confusion, she had also been bound to an assistant System with Ruan Yixing, who had transmigrated into the book as well.

The System's task was to help them support the emperor.

Pick a side in the struggle for the throne. Choose correctly, and they would rise to power and return home safely. Choose wrong, and their whole family would be executed, their lives and souls extinguished.

The two of them schemed around the candlelight, laying traps in secret. But unexpectedly, the Third Prince turned love into hate and rebelled, sending all his private troops into battle. Lian Ruxi was locked in a golden house.

At the General's Residence

Chains clanked as they bound Lian Ruxi's limbs. The Third Prince gazed at her coldly. "Miss Lian, why did you betray me too?"

Lian Ruxi turned her head and said nothing, internally ranting like mad: This was supposed to be a male-oriented political intrigue story, so why was there a lovesick fool in it?
