After trusting the wrong man, unlucky Tan Chaomu lost her family and fortune overnight. Her company went bankrupt, and she was left in a coma after an accident.
By chance, Tan Chaomu made a contract with an unknown space-time beast and bound herself to a quick transmigration System in exchange for a chance to start over.
She transmigrated into three early melodramatic novels as cannon-fodder female side characters, tasked with winning over their scummy male leads. One used her as a stepping stone to power, one made her a decoy to shield his true love, and one abandoned her for the sake of the realm...
When Tan Chaomu entered the first novel, Shen Dang was not yet the all-powerful emperor. He was out on the frontier, tending sheep with a wooden staff in hand.
Watching the original story's beloved heroine constantly draw his attention, Tan Chaomu couldn't sit still.
The space-time beast jumped up in excitement, greatly relieved. Was this woman finally going to stop tormenting the male lead and take the mission seriously?
When the beloved heroine volunteered to test medicine for Shen Dang's grandmother, Tan Chaomu snatched the medicine bowl from her lips and slammed it down in front of Shen Dang. "If you're a man, drink this medicine!"
The space-time beast: ...
When Tan Chaomu first arrived at the frontier, it was spring, with grass growing lush and orioles singing. Watching her fly a kite in the gentle sunshine, Shen Dang wished he could crush the smile from her face.
In the blazing summer heat, Shen Dang more than once considered throwing her into a wolf's den.
Until one day, she truly lay still in his arms, her heart no longer beating and her breath gone.
The new emperor's hair turned white overnight. He poured out his heart and soul, but could not make her look up at him again.
