Vain, vindictive noble girl x cold, scheming crown prince
Jiang Dianwei's soul was taken by mistake, and she transmigrated into a book as a miserable little cannon-fodder character, only to be set up and killed as soon as she arrived.
Just after she escaped the trap, she stumbled upon the secret murder scene of the story's big villain.
The villain was devastatingly handsome, with the imposing bearing of a mountain and the depth of an abyss. He didn't so much as care when his enemy's blood sprayed across his moon-white robe.
He held a knife to Jiang Dianwei's throat with an expressionless face. Jiang Dianwei trembled, but her mind was full of scrolling comments.
[Go on, kill me! Who in their right mind would want to stay in ancient times? Give me one stab, and maybe I'll get to go home!]
The villain could read minds, and he was momentarily stunned by what he heard.
She came from the future.
Jiang Dianwei was lucky enough to keep her life. Just as she was about to take revenge and punish the scoundrels, she received an imperial decree appointing her to a title, then was forced into the Eastern Palace to become the villain's concubine.
Sob, what a hard life.
Luckily, though, she was bound to a Cannon Fodder Rescue System.
The System said that if she could lie low in ancient times until she met a good end, she would be able to return to the modern world.
Jiang Dianwei happily agreed.
Apart from eating and drinking every day, she helped the villain stir up trouble. In the end, she rose to the peak of her life and really did make it home!

Jun Cirang had been made crown prince at birth, but his position was insecure, and his life was in danger.
One day, on a whim, he recruited a little spy.
He thought he could use her to stir up trouble, but the little spy did no work at all. All she knew was how to indulge in luxury and throw her weight around.
That wasn't all. He was always hearing her mutter to herself about him.
[He looks like a decent person, but he's actually a black-hearted lotus. Tsk.]
[They say the terminal bud suppresses the growth of lateral buds. He's so tall, so he must be all show and no substance, right?]
Jun Cirang: All show and no substance? Does she want to find out?
[Ugh, come to think of it, we're both short-lived. We'd better kick out that damn emperor and focus on staying alive.]
Jun Cirang: She called Father a dog... Well, she's right.
[Yes! The sour-faced crown prince finally ascended the throne! I can run off and lie flat now!]
Jun Cirang: No way!!!
He gathered her gently into his arms and spoke softly, but in a tone that allowed no refusal. "Don't even think about running away."
"Wherever I am, you'll be there too."
Reader's guide:
1. Both leads are virgins. The heroine is a lazy little slug who loves the easy life. When it comes to getting things done, the hero is the one charging ahead, while she relies on the System and coasts to victory. She is not a strong female lead.
2. Neither the heroine nor the hero is perfect. A sweet romance, no angst.
3. The hero has no principal wife. He has a nominal harem, but only kisses and cuddles the heroine. After he ascends the throne, he will dismiss the harem.
4. The setting is completely fictional! There are tons of original details! Don't compare it to real ancient history!
5. There are thousands of good books out there. If this one isn't for you, just move on. Don't make things hard for yourself.

Spoiled, willful little princess x unruly noble scion
Xuan Yi was the adopted daughter of the current emperor. She was raised by the empress dowager from childhood and doted on by everyone.
She was as precious as a pearl, yet foolish and overbearing.
At sixteen, she thought she would end up with the one she loved, only to be caught in the catastrophe of her country's fall.
As she was being taken as a prisoner to the enemy nation, a young general with a silver mask and a cold spear broke through the encirclement and rescued Xuan Yi from the enemy troops.
But soon after, a bout of fever took Xuan Yi's life.
Her soul lingered, watching the young general remove his mask, seeing the red mole between his brows, and watching him restore the shattered land and ascend the highest throne.
It was the seventh son of the Xie family!
Reborn in an instant, Xuan Yi hadn't even had time to celebrate before she hurriedly lifted her skirts and tried to leave the palace to find him.
Her maid hesitated, wanting to speak.
Xuan Yi asked in confusion, "What is it?"
The maid said with a bitter expression, "Princess, a few days ago you ordered the Xie family's seventh young master beaten with a rod because of Young Master Jiang. I'm afraid he won't want to see you right now!"
Xuan Yi: QAQ
Ah! Heaven itself is against me!
*
Xie Jinzhao was breathtakingly handsome, especially with that cinnabar mole between his brows. People said he was the reincarnation of a young attendant of Guanyin.
Beyond that, people mostly criticized him for being useless, spending all day fighting crickets and chasing dogs. He was worlds apart from Jiang Yuzhi, the prime minister's only son, who was both talented and handsome.
Xie Jinzhao hated Jiang Yuzhi.
But Xuan Yi liked him, and had even had Xie Jinzhao beaten with a rod for that hypocrite's sake.
So when Xie Jinzhao saw Xuan Yi suddenly change her ways and treat him with thoughtful care and tender kindness, he thought, "She must be up to no good!"
After a while, he wondered, "Could she like me?"
Finally, he decided, "She really does admire me..."
"Well, I'm so charming and dashing, I might as well grant her wish."
He began carefully planning his marriage to Xuan Yi, writing several pages overnight before eagerly going to discuss it with her.
Instead, he heard her say to her maid, "Yay, the world is at peace now."
"I can take my little hoard of gold and retire in Jiangnan!"
Xie Jinzhao: ⊙ω⊙
What happened to loving me?!
Theme: Love may lie beyond mountains and seas, but both can be overcome.
I tied it in one breath, it's super pretty🤩
The heroine has such a rich inner world 🧋 Hahahahahahaha I would have been scared to death
Good-looking (づ ●─● )づ
