The Doting Concubine of a Powerful Man in Republican-Era China

Synopsis:

Shen Xiangji transmigrates into a book.

The moment she wakes up, local thugs corner her at the dock to rob and assault her.

After being reborn, the female lead in the book thinks of nothing but revenge.

The female side character is a brainless, sweet little fool.

And she?

She's a doomed, unlucky cannon-fodder who won't make it past three chapters!

Her father was a high-ranking official who played the political game, and he'd made enemies everywhere.

Everyone her father had offended is hunting her down like mad.

Unlucky Shen Xiangji is forced to hide and scrape by wherever she can. She's in tears.

To stay alive, she can only sob her way into finding herself a powerful patron she can spend money to cling to.

P.S. An alternate-history Republic of China setting.
