Modern girl Song Lixiang transmigrates into the body of a marquis's daughter who has been unconscious for a long time.
The maid rushes over. "Miss, you're finally awake!"
Song Lixiang has read plenty of transmigration web novels and knows it's best not to say much in this situation. Her eyes dart about, and she croaks:
"Water..."
The maid runs out the door:
"Someone come quick! The young lady can talk!"
A disastrous start: she transmigrates as a fake mute.
Then, as if things couldn't get worse, she's forced into a marriage.
Before Song Lixiang transmigrated, the original girl was an unloved concubine-born daughter. Rumor had it she'd been mute since childhood and could only speak if the emperor himself gave her breath mouth-to-mouth.
So, she deliberately fell into a lake in public, risking her life for a kiss.
In the end, she died young and beautiful.
And now, Song Lixiang's marriage partner is the man who pulled her out of the lake, her savior, the crown prince's...
servant.
Song Lixiang: Great! He's my savior, and he's a commoner. I'll marry him!
Shao Guan: I won't marry you.
...Fine, then I won't marry you. I'll focus on my career!
The next day, Song Lixiang discovers in horror that she's mute again.
There's only one way to recover her voice: every ten days, she has to ask that icy little servant for a kiss.
So, from then on, she waits in the corner by the wall for him to pass by, right on schedule:
"Hey, Shao Guan, it's time for my kiss today."
Shao Guan looks down at her, expressionless:
"...If you don't leave, I'll report you to the authorities."
Bonus scene:
One night, red candles flicker in a romantic glow.
Song Lixiang: (signs) (leans over, puckering her lips)
Shao Guan: What's wrong? Xiangxiang wants a kiss? All right, all right.
Song Lixiang: (kicks him) (Where are you kissing? Shame on you!)
Shao Guan: Mm, I love you too.
