【Updates every other day】
Shu Yao transmigrates into a book and becomes a doomed princess. Her father doesn't care for her, but her mother adores her. She falls for the male lead, makes a mess of everything, and is eventually sent to her death with a cup of poisoned wine.
The good news: She has a System she can bind herself to.
The bad news: In exchange, she has to help the System save the world.
In the original story, the male lead will raise an army in two years and rebel, kicking out the tyrant and taking the throne for himself. To get revenge on Shu Yao, he'll imprison and torment her in the palace for a year.
Shu Yao: “A man who doesn't love himself is like rotten cabbage. Why bother with romance when making money is so much faster?”
All she wants is to earn enough silver to get away before the kingdom falls. Saving the world? Sorry, she's not interested. Who cares about that when her own life is on the line?
She just wants to take her mother and run, then live for herself without holding back.
The tyrant never paid much attention to this daughter of his, until one day
【My poor tyrant father doesn't know yet that his favorite minister is the illegitimate son of the empress and another man. He's about to rebel, take the throne, and kick the tyrant's head around like a ball.】
Tyrant: ? There's always some schemer trying to cuckold me.
Shu Yao looks at the elegant and handsome crown prince:
【The crown prince is so handsome. Wait, wasn't his wife the male lead's old flame? That's wild!】
The crown prince's face turned green on the spot.
Shu Yao was happy enough saving money and enjoying the gossip.
So how did she suddenly become so popular among the people, even turning into a goddess in nursery rhymes who saves the world?
Xie Siche, who was supposed to be nothing but a stepping stone for the male lead, pulls her into his arms. “Yao Yao, look at me. I'll love you even more than he does.”
Shu Yao: ?! How dare you? You're my uncle!
Xie Siche chuckles. “We're not blood-related. How am I your uncle?”
Reader's guide:
1. Both leads are virgins; one-on-one romance, happy ending, fake uncle and niece with no blood relation.
2. The female lead is a little slow to warm up. She's doted on by everyone and is a beloved heroine, but not an independent, powerful female lead. Before transmigrating, she was just an ordinary person. When danger strikes, she'll still need help from the male lead, the tyrant, the crown prince, or System items.
3. Set in an alternate history with a hodgepodge of dynasties, so don't scrutinize the details. The political schemes are just make-believe, and the author is hopeless at writing.
Theme: May the realm prosper and the land know lasting peace
