The Drama Queen's Taobao System

[On hiatus. I'll resume once there are more favorites. Orz]

Mu Wanting was the eldest daughter of the Chancellor's household for seventeen years. In the end, she married gloriously into the family of the Grand Tutor's legitimate son. But only when she was on her deathbed did she learn the truth: she was merely the villainess in a book.

Her close friend Lu Miaomiao, who lived in her home, was actually the "innocent and adorable" heroine who had transmigrated into the book. She stole Mu Wanting's husband and was a lucky charm who brought prosperity to her family and husband, while Mu Wanting was her miserable foil.

On the night Lu Miaomiao married her husband, the wedding hall was filled with guests. Meanwhile, Mu Wanting, his first wife, had her family executed and was thrown into a pond to die. Reborn as a young girl, Mu Wanting is bound to a Taobao System and told to change her character and reclaim her fate.

Mu Wanting begins putting her acting skills to the test.

When Lu Miaomiao wants to act cute with an elder, the usually taciturn girl rushes into the Old Madam's arms first. She blinks her beautiful, innocent eyes and says in a sweet, soft voice, "Grandma, I've missed you so much."

The biased grandmother, who used to dote only on Lu Miaomiao, says, "Wanting is the sweetest. I'll do whatever you want."

The reigning emperor, who used to dislike Mu Wanting, says, "Miss Mu is the lucky star of our Great Sheng Dynasty."

Her brother, who used to look down on Mu Wanting, shields her and says, "Lu Miaomiao, do you think I'm blind? How dare you bully Wanting?"

Lu Miaomiao: Didn't she kick me into the water just yesterday?!

Years later, the notorious Crown Prince Sheng Linfeng, who hates nothing more than a clinging flower, is ordered by the emperor to marry the delicate and sweet eldest daughter of the Mu family.

The Eastern Palace is a dangerous place, and the outside world wonders how many ways Mu Wanting might die. Then Sheng Linfeng sees the delicate young woman magically produce a strange stick and, with a charming smile, electrocute the person who bullied her into a charred corpse.

Then she throws herself into his arms, sobbing.

Sheng Linfeng: "...The Crown Princess and I are cut from the same cloth."

A powerful Crown Prince × a drama queen with a black lotus heart. Happy ending.

P.S. The heroine was married in her past life, but the couple never consummated their marriage. This life is her first one-on-one relationship. Readers who strongly prefer chaste heroines, please be warned.

[Upcoming story: A Class on Wifely Virtues, Here's the Blurb]

The empress Wen Yao broke the yoke of tyranny and died peacefully on the throne. Then she was bound to a Wifely Virtues System and transmigrated into various broken, melodramatic novels, where she livestreams lessons in wifely virtue and helps the idiotic male leads build their careers.

System: "Please study wifely virtue diligently, Host, and become a virtuous, refined woman."

Reply: "Sorry, the career path has been revised. The heroine has taken the male lead's role and is living a free and happy life."

What is it like to stir up trouble in a mindless romance novel?

Wen Yao: Thanks for asking. The heroine in every world comes from a prominent family or has a golden finger, yet the male lead torments her in body and soul until she dies, and then they get a happy ending. Why not steal his role and make trouble myself?

Story 1: An emperor who exploits his wife to rise to power but has another woman in his heart VS a tragic empress who is not loved

Male lead: "The woman I love is beneath you. You may have won the empire for me by fighting tooth and nail, but my heart still belongs only to her. I'll enjoy your humble devotion, but whether I favor you depends on my mood."

Wen Yao tears up the lovesick puppy script: "You don't want the empire? Fine, I'll take it back."

Story 2: A wealthy merchant who emotionally manipulates the heroine VS a pampered young lady who is treated like a baby-making machine

Male lead: "You're a lady from a respectable family, but once you marry, you must obey your husband. Since you can't give me a son, entertain me and don't get jealous while I take concubines and have one with them."

Wen Yao tears up the wifely virtues script: "I'll build a business with my daughter and drive that scumbag's business into bankruptcy, leaving him nowhere to turn."

Story 3: A "devoted" husband who buys a wife VS a student who was kidnapped and sold, in an alternate setting

Male lead: "I'm clumsy and stupid, but I treat you well. If you don't stay with me and even abandon the child, you deserve to be condemned by everyone."

Wen Yao tears up the doormat script: "If the law can't protect me, I'll take that seat myself and change the law."

Gentlemen, how about taking a class on wifely virtues?

Theme: Cross the darkness and treat others sincerely to earn their sincerity in return
