The moment Xiang Yingxia opened her eyes, she found herself inside the dating sim she'd been playing, transformed into the eldest daughter of the wealthy Xiang family of Yangzhou.
She guessed she could only return home after completing the game, but she knew nothing about the story.
Fortunately, it was a romance game. Based on her experience with games like this, all she had to do was choose one male lead and successfully pursue him to finish. The male leads in these games were all rich or powerful, and this year was the imperial examination, so she decided to cast her net wide.
She had countless sachets made, then took her maid to an inn on the road to Bianjing. Whenever someone with a book chest arrived, Xiang Yingxia had her maid steal their luggage, then rescued them from their predicament and took the opportunity to give them a sachet before they left.
She would sit back and reap the rewards, waiting for someone to ask for her hand.
By all rights, the plan was foolproof. As long as one of them passed the palace examination, Xiang Yingxia would succeed. But despite all her careful calculations, she never expected His Majesty to arrange a marriage for Wen Luo, the third-place graduate, and for him to declare that he would marry no one but her, producing the sachet she'd given him as proof.
That might have been all right, but why did the Crown Prince have one of her sachets when he hadn't even taken the imperial examination? And why was he also saying he would marry no one but her?
As Xiang Yingxia waited in Bianjing for her destined match, she thought herself extraordinarily lucky. Half of the palace examination graduates had the same sachet, and rumors spread throughout the city overnight that receiving one would guarantee success in the palace examination. She even earned the elegant nickname "Matchmaking Goddess."
Xiang Yingxia was glad she hadn't given away her real name. While everyone was still in the dark, she fled back to Yangzhou in the middle of the night. But some of them followed her there, demanding that she take responsibility.
