Overworked office worker Su Xiaoyu, a relentless workaholic, passes out at her desk and wakes up transmigrated into the body of a low-status courtesan. A disastrous start.
This time around, she just wants to lie flat, so getting enough to eat is her top priority.
But she can’t get enough food at the Bureau of Music, and she also has to perform and entertain sleazy men.
Luckily, Master Jiu arrives with a table full of delicious food and takes her back to his manor.
Su Xiaoyu is ecstatic: A meal ticket has fallen from the sky!
She soon realizes something is wrong. Even pigs wouldn’t eat the food on that table.
It’s too late for Su Xiaoyu to escape, and there’s also a defective System hanging over her head, constantly glitching and stirring up trouble.
Lord Pei Jiu, who has been paralyzed for ten years, is a venomous snake everyone avoids.
When Su Xiaoyu falls on hard times, he spends a thousand taels of gold to force her to marry him, all so he can make her sleep in the pigsty and eat slop as revenge for an old grudge.
On their wedding day, he even has a coffin prepared for her.
But she has subtitles floating over her head, and she turns his brothers into pigs!
Lord Jiu narrows his eyes. “Interesting. Now you’re definitely not getting away.”
(The System whines: I only made the same mistake every System makes.)
Su Xiaoyu despairs, until one night she catches that venomous snake sitting in front of the pigsty, pushing a piece of sweet cake into a pig’s mouth. In a voice as aggrieved as a child’s, he says, “Good buddy, she bullied me again today. What should I do?”
Su Xiaoyu: ?
She quietly backs into the house and adds a note to the “Two-Person Escape Plan”: Better learn how to get along with the pig first. It might be my future brother-in-law.
