After transmigrating into the daughter of the prime minister, she discovers that her fiancé, the crown prince, has been keeping her around as a backup for eight years. If she's not going to run now, when will she? She plans to steer clear of palace intrigue, pack her things, and leave. But somehow she ends up on a bandit's getaway carriage, and from then on, people chase her down at every turn. She tries her best to explain that she just hitched a ride, but the swords keep coming for her. Luckily, someone saves her. But saving someone is one thing; forcing them to repay you with their hand in marriage is hardly the conduct of a gallant hero, is it?
Just when she thinks her luck is finally turning, she wakes up to find she's being taken to the palace to become a canary. How is a country chicken like her supposed to live comfortably in a gilded cage? So she can only do everything she can to rile up the emperor, anxiously waiting for her husband to come for her. Oh, and there's a maid by her side who's paralyzed. No, not paralyzed, her name is Tan'er. She thought that as the daughter of one of his enemies, and with her and the emperor unable to stand each other, destined to clash instead of fall in love, he'd soon kick her out of the palace. But why does he whisper in her ear, "Wen Sheng'er, in this life, you belong to me, whether you live or die. Even in death, we'll be buried together."
This story has a lighthearted style. The heroine is kind and practical, with no lofty ambitions, though she does have a chest. How could Xiao An's heroine have no looks or figure? She also successfully face-slaps the irresponsible claim that women in love have zero IQ. What can you look forward to? Jianghu battles (she is being chased, after all), wealthy-family feuds (doesn't the emperor count as high society?), warmth and romance. That last one? Whether it happens is for you readers to discover.
