Everyone Wants to Unmask My Secret Identity

[One-line synopsis] The whole capital wants to uncover my secret identity

When Shi Yan was reborn, fifteen years had already passed.

Her old rivals had all risen to prominence, and her husband from her previous life had become a powerful chief minister who held sway over the court.

Meanwhile, she had become a Yangzhou courtesan, and was being offered to the chief minister as a gift.

Luckily, she still had the skill of pretending to be a fool while hiding her true strength.

Before long, Shi Yan discovered that the old rivals from her previous life still couldn't forget her. One of them had even married her memorial tablet and slept with it in his arms every night...

Shi Yan: "..." I must hold on tight to my little secret identity.

Fortunately, it wasn't long before she found a father with immense power, and gained three older brothers who were all intensely overprotective of their little sister.

One day, the chief minister uncovered an incredible secret...

He dragged Shi Yan behind a rockery and trapped her there. The powerful minister's eyes reddened as he accused her, "You're back. Why didn't you come find me?!"

[Little skit]

Marquis Dingbei has been furious lately. "Gu Jiunian! It's bad enough that you're coming after me, but don't you dare go after my daughter!"

Gu Jiunian: "Father-in-law, let's talk this out~"

Marquis Dingbei: "My daughter is only sixteen. You beast!"

Gu Jiunian: "She was sixteen when she married me before, too."

1. All the male characters are textbook romance novel heroes, resulting in an exceptionally chaotic love rivalry.

2. The hero is cold and secretly passionate at first, then becomes a shameless flirt later on.

3. The hero is a walking jealousy machine. He's either jealous or on his way to getting jealous.

4. The heroine was not poisoned in her past life, nor was she stabbed to death by the hero. (This will be revealed later in the story.)

Currently serializing: The Lazy Consort Got a Heartthrob-for-All Script

Question: What's it like to become a beloved consort of stunning beauty, showered with the emperor's affection?

Su Zhaozhao: I just want good food and drink, then to wait for death. Once I finish the plot, I can go home.

After all, in the book, the beloved consort is a cannon-fodder supporting character. On the surface, she's the emperor's cherished favorite, but in reality she's just a shield protecting the woman he loves.

And her ending is spectacularly unoriginal.

In the original story, the beloved consort and the emperor's white moonlight are both tied to the city wall. The rebel leader asks the emperor to choose between them. With an indifferent expression, the emperor points to his true love without hesitation, and the beloved consort is shot dead with an arrow.

Su Zhaozhao, who knows the plot, cries: Help me up! I can keep lying low a little longer!

She goes all in on provoking her own death, picking on the woman the emperor loves and acting arrogant and domineering in the hope that he'll hate her.

But even after waiting long enough for flowers to wither, she is still alive and well in the imperial palace.

Even more terrifying, she later discovers that the hero loves her, and so do all the other male leads... She's got admirers all over the capital. She must have gotten a heartthrob-for-all script.

Even after giving birth to the crown prince and the emperor disbanding his harem, she still hasn't died.

Su Zhaozhao is baffled: "...Weren't you supposed to be a cannon-fodder consort? This isn't what the script said."

#Diligently acting every day, only to discover I got the wrong script#

#It was supposed to be physical and emotional angst, but it turned out to be a sweet romance#

#What do I do if the emperor won't let me die?#
