The Wicked Consort Has It Tough (Transmigrate into a Book)

Advance notice: The Empress Rules the Realm by Catching Ghosts

Blurb:

Ye Zhike transmigrates into a book. A highly educated woman from the modern era becomes the cannon-fodder supporting female character in an ancient romance novel.

The original owner was the emperor's illegitimate daughter, married off by imperial decree to the Regent. In the end, her cheap husband, the story's great villain, strangled her with his own hands.

As an obvious spy in everyone's eyes, Ye Zhike feels the pressure.

The villain likes the heroine? She thinks she's figured out how to survive.

"You'd better behave yourself."

"My lord, I understand. I'll invite my elder sister to visit me right away."

"Stay away from the emperor."

"As you command. I'll put in a good word for you with my elder sister."

"The princess consort and I will consummate our marriage tonight."

"All right, my lor... Huh?"

(Completely at a loss, staring in confusion.)

The prince: "I thought my little spy had figured it out again."

Little Ye thinks she's done her job as a matchmaker to the best of her ability, but the plot is just too powerful.

So even if the villain gets rejected, she's not going to be anyone's stand-in. You two can work it out yourselves. I'm done helping.

"Someone, come quickly! The princess consort is missing!"

The Empress Rules the Realm by Catching Ghosts

They say that on the day the only little daughter of Minister Mu was born, birds came to celebrate and auspicious signs filled the skies. The State Preceptor, who hadn't appeared in years, personally came to the Mu residence. He left behind only an imperial edict arranging her marriage, then took away the Mu family's precious treasure.

Mu Weining knew from childhood that she was different from ordinary people. She had eyes that could see ghosts. Fortunately, she had a powerful master. With her exceptional talent, she learned a host of impressive skills. At sixteen, Mu Weining entered the palace as empress, only to discover that changing her surroundings did nothing to bring her peace.

Xiao Xing had known from childhood that his destined wife was extraordinary. He worked hard for a long time to earn her an empress's position worthy of her status, but she didn't seem to appreciate it. Apart from their wedding day, Xiao Xing never saw his empress again. Every day, he wondered what the little ingrate was up to.

Later, stories spread among the people that the empress had solved many strange and unsolved cases. People began putting portraits of her on their doors. She was beautiful and could ward off evil, so her portraits were quite useful.

Mu Weining: Is this what they call being the mother of the realm?
