I Pretended to Be a Good-for-Nothing, Then a Spy Set Their Sights on Me

[Transmigration] [Two Powerful Leads] [Both Hiding Their Identities] [Mutual Devotion] [One-on-One Romance]

[Ke Yu (You Shuheng) x Lu Zhaoran]

On transmigrating into the body of a good-for-nothing crown prince:

Ke Yu: Thanks for asking. I had just finished a run and couldn't catch my breath. Then I opened my eyes and found myself in the Eastern Palace.

What, she has to keep pretending to be useless? No way! She acts lazy and plays dumb on the surface, but secretly works herself to the bone. Sorry, she isn't obligated to let people bully her, so she's quietly taken down quite a few people.

Why does a beauty suddenly fall from the sky while she's out for a walk?!

She can't take in someone of unknown origins. So why is this person clinging on and refusing to let go? Whatever. They look decent (she insists otherwise), so she'll keep them around and see what tricks they have up their sleeve.

Lu Zhaoran: Sneak into the imperial palace, sharpen my blade for the emperor. The crown prince? Just a side job.

Your bro Lu's inner thoughts while working as a maid:

She's kind of interesting. I'll play along a little longer.

Why bother keeping an eye on anyone but him? Boring. I'll kill him later.

She actually likes me? ...Heh. Of course she likes me.

Later:

Ke Yu: Weren't we supposed to be friends? I thought of you as my sister. How did you end up thinking of me as your wife?

Lu Zhaoran: ...Be quiet. We haven't finished kissing.

At first: You put on an act, I'll put on one too. Let's see who slips up first.

Later: Baby, aren't you getting a little too clingy...?
