Yun Yueyao transmigrates into a book, and not just any book: she becomes the wicked female antagonist in The Regent's Beloved Concubine. The original Yun Yueyao has a tragic ending. Sob, sob.
Knowing the entire plot, Yun Yueyao decides to keep her head down and stay out of trouble. Then one day, she saves the second male lead, a villain, from fighting for food among a crowd of beggars. But since she wants nothing to do with the story, all she does after rescuing him is give him a few taels of silver and leave.
Three years later, the newly appointed general asks the emperor for permission to marry the legitimate daughter of the Yun family, a girl who is neglected by her family. The entire court is stunned. No one expected the highly decorated general to marry an unfavored legitimate daughter. Everyone assumes he's only using her to win the support of Prime Minister Yun. Even Yun Yueyao herself believes that. With malicious people stirring up trouble, the two gradually grow apart.
During a power struggle, he is gravely wounded while saving her. He asks her, "Yaoyao, have you ever loved me?"
"I have. I've already fallen in love with you. Don't die. Please don't die."
He gently wipes the tears from her face. "Yaoyao, you still won't tell me the truth. But I still want to believe you. Yaoyao, you have to live well."
He closes his eyes, weighed down by exhaustion. Her heart feels as if it has been cut to pieces. "I'm sorry. I should have fallen in love with you sooner. Don't be afraid. I'll come with you."
When she opens her eyes again, she's back five years in the past, at the moment she first transmigrated here. She smiles. This time, I'll find you first...
