The Crown Princess Is Such a Good Actress

[Edits are just typo fixes, so no need to reread. Please roll around and beg for bookmarks for my upcoming novel, The System Wants to Kill Me ^_^]

Blurb: Chang An is a minor actress who transmigrates into a book as a cannon-fodder character who jumps into a river. From the start, she not only survives, but also rescues a fair-skinned, handsome man by the river.

As the saying goes, good deeds bring good rewards.

The day after rescuing him, Chang An receives ten thousand taels in silver notes from the handsome man.

Drawing on her extensive experience...

In an old-fashioned novel, this is the "take the money and leave" plot. In a trendy novel, it's the "contract romance" plot.

She looks at the man in front of her. "Which kind of plot are you?"

The handsome man's gaze is icy. "What do you think?"

Chang An: "Could you be the third kind, the 'rich and stupid' plot?"

With ten thousand taels in hand, Chang An becomes the Crown Princess of Li Yanjing, the "rich and stupid" man.

In the original book, Crown Prince Li Yanjing is cruel and violent. He murders his mother and older brother, single-handedly sparks a war between two nations, and plunges the entire world into chaos. He's a thoroughly villainous character.

Chang An suddenly understands: She's following the villain's wife plot!

Her professional actress DNA stirs fiercely within her.

[Bonus Scene]

The gauze curtains sway, and the red candles flicker.

Li Yanjing gazes into Chang An's eyes. "Since you're so good at acting, how about playing the mother of my child next?"

Chang An looks innocent. "Sure. Where do we start?"

Li Yanjing gently lifts her chin. "Let's start with the wedding."

Reader's Guide:

Blurb:

Su Shiyue transmigrates into a tragic romance novel as its heroine. The System requires her to stick closely to the plot until the ending and make the male lead forget the moonlight in his heart.

She works herself to the bone, making sure there's angst where there should be angst, sweetness where there should be sweetness, and never showing mercy when it's time for a groveling redemption arc.

Who could have known that at the very last moment, the male lead would love her so much that he'd take a blade for her?

"You have to live well!" After saying his final words, the male lead collapses in front of Su Shiyue, coughing up blood.

[Warning! Warning!]

[The male lead is about to die!]

[The male lead is dead. Mission failed!]

When Su Shiyue wakes up again, she discovers she's returned to the beginning of the book.

"..."

"After all that hard work for ten years, you're making me start from the beginning again?!"

This time, Su Shiyue decides to lie flat.

The male lead tosses her a setup, and she doesn't take it. He misunderstands her, and she doesn't explain.

As for the male lead being in love with his moonlight...

Su Shiyue: He can love whoever he wants. Just as long as he doesn't love me.

[Warning! Warning!]

[The male lead's affection for you is nearly at its maximum!!]

Su Shiyue: ??

[Congratulations, Host! You're about to complete the mission ahead of schedule and return to your original world!]

Su Shiyue hasn't even had time to celebrate.

[After learning that the Host is about to leave without a second thought, the male lead plans to take his own life]

[Warning! Warning! The story will restart after the male lead dies!]

Su Shiyue: !!

There's no time to explain. Better kiss him and save the plot first.

Su Shiyue cups the male lead's face, blinks at him, and says earnestly, "Haven't you always wanted to kiss me? I've taken the initiative and kissed you now, so could you at least wait to die?"

Theme: Treat others sincerely and keep your promises
