[Clear-Headed Beauty Who Transmigrates into a Book x Tsundere Emperor]
[Face-Slapping Satisfaction | Pretend Romance Turns Real]
Everyone in the capital praised Qu Pingting, daughter of the Vice Minister of the Court of the Imperial Clan, for her elegant beauty and exceptional talents. Her fame had spread throughout the city.
No one knew that she was actually a modern person bound to a System, who had transmigrated into this immersive story game to move the plot forward.
On the day of the selection, Qu Pingting looked up.
The man on the dragon throne wore dark robes, his face cool and noble. Every gesture radiated the formidable authority of the emperor.
He was the very man she had offended in a dream, thanks to the System's machinations.

The women of the imperial harem could all see that the newly appointed Consort Xian was favored above all others.
The emperor had even made an exception to promote her. He kept her by his side night after night, granting her an honor unmatched throughout the Six Palaces.
Qi Xiu thought nothing of it.
This was exactly the effect he wanted.
He prided himself on being cold-hearted and free of desire, and on keeping women at a distance.
From beginning to end, he had viewed that woman only as a pawn, using her to draw the snake out of its hole.
So he had personally lifted her up to the clouds, keeping her all to himself and putting on a convincing show of deep devotion.

Later, while traveling south to Miaojiang, Qi Xiu was unexpectedly afflicted by a love curse.
He pinned her firmly to the bed, letting the curse control him as he lost control and tangled with her again and again.
The woman in his arms had disheveled hair and a flushed, bewitching face, dazzlingly alluring.
An inexplicable restlessness surged in Qi Xiu's heart.
He pressed close to her ear and forced out a hoarse voice:
"It's only the love curse at work."
"I could never fall for you."
Qu Pingting: "..."
She really wanted to tell him that three days ago, when he kissed her, she had secretly given him a special antidote made by the System.
The curse had already been completely dispelled.
