Chu Chenzhou transmigrates into a book, a sweet romance where only the male and female leads get a happy ending. Everyone else suffers.
The devoted male supporting character loses his country and family for the heroine, is imprisoned, and is eventually turned into a human stump.
The lovesick second female lead turns evil, commits countless crimes, and ultimately dies horribly, never finding peace.
The other supporting characters are all slaughtered by the villainess after her transformation.
And then Chu Chenzhou becomes that villainess.
At that moment, she is holding a sharp sword, its tip pressed against the Crown Prince's throat.
Chu Chenzhou's hand trembles. The blade shifts and cuts the Crown Prince's shoulder. She stammers, "I swear my hand slipped. Do you believe me?"

In his previous life, Song Yu endured humiliation for a woman who didn't love him, even letting his family be destroyed.
Reborn, he returns to the night of his wedding to Chu Xiang's daughter. Chu Chenzhou refuses to let him near and pulls out a flexible sword to stab him.
He knows Chu Chenzhou is deeply in love with his Ninth Imperial Uncle and has always wanted to become his aunt by marriage.
He knows Chu Chenzhou married into the Eastern Palace to pave the way for his Ninth Imperial Uncle, so she could open the city gates for him one day.
He knows that after his Ninth Imperial Uncle marries Ning Wanwan, Chu Chenzhou will lose her mind, master a sinister martial art, and go on a killing spree.
In this life, he'll cultivate demonic arts before Chu Chenzhou does, protect the realm, guard the borders, and bring peace to the land.
Hah, he doesn't need women anymore!

All Chu Chenzhou wants is to stay away from the leads and keep herself alive. For now, she'll settle for a harmonious life with the Crown Prince: respectful toward each other, but keeping their distance.
The country is destined to fall, so she needs to prepare an escape route, keep her hands on the money, and make sure she has a way out wherever she goes.
Her husband is destined to die. Should she run off with his inheritance first?
As she watches the Crown Prince cling to her day after day, she falls into deep thought...
An utterly ordinary, easygoing woman who transmigrates into a book VS a reborn man who vows to protect his family and defend his country
