After Becoming a Cannon-Fodder Female Supporting Character, I Cling to the Strong and Lie Flat

After waking up, 996 corporate drudge Li Wan discovers that she has entered a fake strong-female-lead Mary Sue novel called "Reborn Concubine". Her reborn half-sister helps her own birth mother become the marquis's second wife, transforming herself into a legitimate daughter as well. The original heroine, once the marquis's only legitimate daughter and blessed with an easy life, becomes a poor little thing whose mother died young and whose father doesn't love her. What's more, before long she is to be married off as a second wife to a high-ranking official in his fifties. Having sorted out the entire plot, Li Wan realizes that the mother and daughter in the marquis's household have already used her marriage to curry favor with a third-rank official. She promptly clings to the powerful man across the way, who has been drugged with aphrodisiac powder. If Li Wan remembers correctly, the book says this man takes promises very seriously. As long as she can get him to agree, she can spend the rest of her life living comfortably in his household as a lazy freeloader. Besides, according to the plot, if this powerful man hadn't been careless enough to fall victim to a villain's scheme and failed to get the poison out in time, leaving his health unable to hold out later, the highest throne would never have gone to the Third Prince her half-sister seduced! But Li Wan never expected that, after spending her previous life working 996, she would go from clinging to a powerful patron just to get by to becoming the crown princess and then the empress. And she is the only one in his harem. No one else. Li Wan: ... I really only wanted to be a lazy fish, collecting a few taels of silver every month and not having to do a thing... Reading guide: 1.
