After dying unexpectedly, Mo Qingxia transmigrates into a book twice, going from an ancient romance novel to a modern romance novel.
Her identity changes from an empress who is the apple of the entire imperial harem's eye to a brainless, spoiled villainess. Even worse, the vicious villainess from the ancient romance novel cursed her, leaving the golden finger she should have had practically useless. In the end, she won't live past three years.
Who could have guessed that the System she's bound to would be a timid little softie who gets cold feet at every turn? Is Heaven trying to kill her...
System: "Host, if you can't complete your missions, you'll be plagued by bad luck. You'll choke on water, run into ghosts wearing a Taoist robe, and fart so hard you'll hit your own heel. So, are you scared yet?"
Mo Qingxia: "So scared..."
Whenever that clueless little coward of a System needles her, Mo Qingxia twirls a silver needle between her fingers, wishing she could stab it into her own sea of consciousness.
System: "Beep, beep, beep! Warning! Warning! Danger warning! Host is about to do something foolish that will harm the System. Please think twice before acting."
The System's voice rings out from her sea of consciousness, sounding both innocent and adorably fierce. It silently grumbles that this villainess is so scary, whimper, whimper...
Just as Mo Qingxia is working hard to play matchmaker for the male and female leads, where did this impossibly stingy domineering CEO come from? And why does he look exactly like that damn emperor?
The damn emperor corners Mo Qingxia against the wall in a perfect kabedon, his clear, mellow voice like a spell: "Where do you think you can run, my empress?"
Mo Qingxia suddenly discovers that when she gets close to the damn emperor, she can unleash her full fighting prowess. But as soon as she moves away, she turns into dead weight.
This... this is awkward...
Her sworn enemy, the Imperial Preceptor, has also come after her. This man has repeatedly stopped her from ascending the throne as empress. He's practically her nemesis. But who could have known that beneath his deep affection, this man is a knight who only wants to protect her?
The Imperial Preceptor, Xi Wuhen. Water leaves no trace, and all things are but fleeting reflections. She is merely a dream that Xi Wuhen can never touch in his lifetime.
