After transmigrating into a book, Shen Ci became the second daughter of the Minister's household.
But this second daughter was nothing more than a cannon-fodder character destined for a tragic end.
To return to the real world, she had to follow the System's instructions and was forced to win over the cold-hearted Third Prince.
She didn't want to marry him, but in the end, she did.
She didn't want to get close to him, but she had to, and had to get even closer.
To stay alive, she clung to the Third Prince, trying one scheme after another when each attempt failed.
No matter how much she flirted with him, the Third Prince remained unmoved.
Luckily, she never wasted time overthinking. She knew that “if you want to change your fate, first make your life prosperous.”
Her field of study gave her plenty of room to shine in ancient times. She handcrafted all kinds of devices, letting the people of the capital experience modern life, and their lives grew more prosperous day by day.
But then she noticed that the man had started acting strangely. He even stood up the Emperor just to make her breakfast.
Prince Xiao Chen was both a brilliant scholar and a formidable warrior, yet he asked for permission to marry a most unusual woman.
At first, he played along with her act, treating her as one part of his plan.
She always put him first, but he remained distant and cold, turning a blind eye to her devotion.
Until the woman who used to orbit around him was surrounded by the young sons of noble families among the flowers.
He could only calm the fire in his heart by taking cold baths every night.
With no other choice, he secretly laid a scheme to cut off every man's chance to approach her. He also sent trusted aides to spread rumors that the Third Prince and his wife were deeply in love, spending every day together at home in blissful harmony.
He was determined to win this battle to protect his marriage.
