A modern office drone accidentally transmigrates into a book and becomes a five-year-old princess with an intellectual disability?
Being intellectually disabled would be bad enough, but she's framed by wicked servants, tossed into a well, and left on the brink of death.
Being on the brink of death would be bad enough, but in the future, her younger brother, the emperor and male lead, will send her away to marry for political reasons, where she'll die far from home.
To survive, she has to deal with the wicked servants and use "education through love" to activate the power of sibling bloodline dominance.
Then her imperial father tells her that her brother hasn't even been born yet?
What? The world will collapse if the male lead isn't born?
What kind of disastrous start is this! She doesn't just have to stay alive; she has to save a world on the verge of collapse!
"Princess, I'll be your guard. You save the world!" A young man appears out of nowhere and steps forward when she is most despairing of this world.
That day, the spider on his shoulder left a mark on her heart, like a brand.
Ever since Xie Linfeng rescued the princess from the bottom of a well, he has felt himself becoming radiant, as if all the world's good fortune had fallen into his lap.
The princess leaned against his shoulder and whispered, "Brother Lin, you're the male lead now!"
What's a male lead? Can you eat it?
In the darkness, a black shadow whispered in his ear: "You must restore your kingdom. You must kill her!"
"No!" Xie Linfeng struggled.
"Brother Lin, your fate is yours to decide, not Heaven's!" The princess's voice was like a spring breeze.
"My child, you must avenge yourself!" The shadow's voice echoed on and on. "Kill her!"
That day, snowflakes drifted quietly down.
The princess stood atop the city wall, looking down at the massed troops below. She turned to the guard pointing a sword at her. "Kill me, and offer me up to your army!"
Xie Linfeng knelt on one knee and held his long sword high above his head. "I will always be your guard!"
