The Eastern Palace's Little Mute

Meng Zhi is mute.

After transmigrating to ancient times, she's still mute.

But she's beautiful, with delicate brows and gentle eyes, and a disposition so sweet it's almost unbelievable. Her family background is the envy of the noblewomen in the capital. It's a shame she married that dissolute crown prince who's about to be deposed.

No one knows.

On the night he lifted her veil, Meng Zhi's lovely eyes curved like crescent moons. She wrapped her arms around his waist and wouldn't let go, no matter how he tried to coax her.

[Hero's POV]

He discovers he's transmigrated into an ancient-era power-struggle novel aimed at male readers, as the dissolute crown prince who bullies the hero every day before his rise to power.

Xie Wuxing: ...Living it up and waiting to be deposed sounds great! The hero's awesome! Stay away from me!

Later, Xie Wuxing discovers that the hero has his beloved little mute in his sights and is even urging her to divorce him.

Xie Wuxing: ??? Are you even human? I'll kill you, you piece of trash!

And so he takes the hero's place, becoming an even more formidable male lead.

- The heroine is mute, but she'll get better later.

- The hero is a spoiled playboy and may be pretty goofy. With the heroine's help, he'll grow stronger and eventually become a wise ruler.

- The hero transmigrates into a book; the heroine transmigrates but hasn't read the original. The second male lead, the chosen one, is reborn.

- A satisfying, heartwarming, sweet little food story.

Blurb:

Yin Weiwei only dares to play dating sims under the covers in secret. She blushes just from holding hands with a pixelated boyfriend.

She never imagined that one day she'd end up inside a game she'd already grown tired of.

And it gets worse: for some reason, on her very first day there, her father is convicted and imprisoned, and her whole family is exiled.

Yin Weiwei becomes the daughter of a disgraced official, destitute and drowning in debt.

On the verge of tears, she sets up a little stall selling pastries in the east of Jinling. Her customers include:

The assistant minister of the Court of Judicial Review, whom she pinned against a wall, confessed to, dated for a day, and then dumped.

The elegant top scholar, with whom she recited poetry and went boating, dated for three days, and then dumped.

The legitimate son of a duke, with whom she held hands and watched the stars, dated for five days, and then dumped.

The great general who guards the nation, whose abs she touched, dated for seven days, and then dumped.

The regent, whom she kissed, swore eternal love to, dated for a month, and then dumped.

Facing the resentful, vengeful glares of her "ex-boyfriends," Yin Weiwei cautiously manages a smile. "W-would you like to buy some pastries?"

[Reader's Guide]

There are plenty of men, but the heroine will only fall in love with one! One-on-one romance and a happy ending!

The heroine is just a soft-hearted girl obsessed with dating sims, a coward who's more timid than a chicken. Even in the game, she only ever dates one person at a time. She never meant to hurt anyone; she just didn't expect the game to become real!

Theme: Lose one thing, gain another.
