[A dramatic beauty who's bad at acting but addicted to it, Xue Jinyan x a cold, sickly yandere with mind-reading powers, Fu Li]
Xue Jinyan, a nobody in the entertainment industry, transmigrates into the body of the devoted female side character in The Phoenix's Charm. In the book, she is Fu Li's fiancee, yet she's madly obsessed with the Sixth Prince and pursues him relentlessly, turning herself into the laughingstock of the capital.
Naturally, she ends up disgraced and dead. Worse still, not only has she transmigrated into this character's body, but the original owner has already thoroughly offended the vengeful heroine.
Xue Jinyan: I'm not going to make it out alive!
To stay alive, Xue Jinyan decides to cling to her powerful husband, Fu Li.
And so, Xue Jinyan begins her daily routine of flirting, smiling, and seducing him. Her increasingly skillful acting successfully draws everyone's attention. She clears her name as a devoted fool and makes the heroine wary of taking action against her for fear of her status as the Marquis's wife.
Xue Jinyan: You can't keep a string taut forever. It's fine to let it rest now and then.
Fu Li has mind-reading powers and prides himself on seeing through people and planning for every eventuality. Yet he never expected that one day he would fall into a net, while the person holding it seemed so casual she might let go.
How could he allow that?

The candlelight in the bedchamber was dim, and the cold night wind rustled against the windows...
Fu Li's eyes were red at the corners. He pulled her into his arms, restraining her wrist, his voice low and hoarse. "Yan'er, your act keeps getting more convincing. Why stop halfway?"
[Bonus Scene]
At the hunting grounds outside the capital, Xue Jinyan dazzled everyone in a bright red riding outfit. Countless men stared at her, and the noblewomen were green with envy. When Fu Li appeared, they mocked Xue Jinyan with pointed remarks, accusing her of being unfaithful.
The Sixth Prince's thoughts: Jinyan remembers that I love red. It seems her love for me is as strong as ever.
The noblewomen's thoughts: Hah! There's no way Young Marquis Fu will tolerate being cuckolded. Just wait, Xue Jinyan. You'll get what's coming to you!
Xue Jinyan's thoughts: My husband and I are wearing matching outfits. Are you all blind? QAQ
When Fu Li heard Xue Jinyan's thoughts, his eyes curved with amusement. In full view of everyone, he rode his white horse over to her and swept her up into his arms, lifting her onto the horse.
The man on horseback gazed at her with adoration, while the woman in his arms nestled against him, shy and obedient.
Someone sighed, "The marquis and his wife are a perfect match, so deeply in love."
The Sixth Prince looked stunned. He still couldn't believe that the woman who had always adored him was now nestled obediently in another man's arms. His nails dug into his flesh beneath his sleeve, and his face turned frighteningly cold.
The noblewomen clenched their handkerchiefs in secret. This... can't be possible!!
