Nian Xiaomiao, who was born with superhuman strength, is transported into an old-school Mary Sue novel as the cannon-fodder concubine. Faced with a world where the heroine is the only treasure, Nian Xiaomiao declares, “I’m not putting up with this.”

With a small bundle on her back, she’s just left the city when a victorious army returns. The man at its head is clad in armor, his eyes bright with confidence. One look is all it takes to capture Nian Xiaomiao’s heart. She decides she could definitely go for a man like him!

But before she can even take the first step toward wooing him, the man she has her eye on pulls her onto his horse. His voice is low: “Where are you going, my beloved consort?”

Nian Xiaomiao: “...” The man she likes is the heroine’s devoted second male lead. What is she supposed to do now?

Blurb Two:

Mu Le lost his mother when he was young. His father never cared for him, and his adoptive mother never loved him. Relying on his peerless martial arts and political cunning, he ascended the throne. Aside from waging wars across the land, he had nothing to live for.

Then, on an ordinary return from a victorious campaign, Mu Le spotted a neatly dressed woman at the city gate. Her lively eyes made her seem almost otherworldly. His heart stirred, and he drew her into his arms, never wanting to let go.

What Mu Le didn’t know was that his fate had just changed. He was originally destined to fall in love with the heroine, destroy his own kingdom, and take his life with a sword.

Blurb Three:

As the dog kept by the imperial concubine, Er Gouzi thinks he’s quite clever. He immediately saw that the woman now wearing his mistress’s face wasn’t the real concubine, but not a single foolish human has noticed.

Instead, Er Gouzi discovers that the man and the impostor have fallen for each other!

Er Gouzi: QAQ A dog’s life is hard!

Reading Guide:

One-on-one romance, daily updates, happy ending.

The silly heroine, whom everyone thinks is scheming but who’s really just an onlooker enjoying the drama, versus the male lead, who thinks he can kill without blinking but can’t even bring himself to touch the dog she keeps.

The heroine can understand dogs and has no interest in schemes. She just loves charging into battle.
