Transmigrated as a Double-Agent Woman

Xia Shengqiao transmigrated into a book, becoming a female spy who was doomed to die a horrible death.

The original character was a cannon-fodder woman who looked like the heroine. The heroine was not only the male lead's beloved, but also the white moonlight of the major antagonist, Qin Zonghuai. The original character loved the male lead deeply, but he handed her over to the antagonist, and she died without a complete body for his sake.

The major antagonist, Qin Zonghuai, had a mysterious past. From being the son of a "lowborn woman," scorned by the world, he rose to become regent, second only to the emperor. He was handsome, ruthless, and merciless.

The moment Xia Shengqiao arrived, she switched sides without hesitation.

"This concubine admires the general." Xia Shengqiao took an arrow for Qin Zonghuai. "To die for the general would leave this concubine with no regrets."

Qin Zonghuai pinched her chin, a faint smile on his face. "Is that so?"

"In life, I belong to the general. In death, I'll be his ghost."

Xia Shengqiao began her double life as a spy.

The male lead was convinced that Xia Shengqiao loved him deeply. After all, she had given herself to the enemy for his sake, and her personality had changed completely.

The major antagonist, Qin Zonghuai, was certain Xia Shengqiao had no ulterior motives and worshipped him like a god.

They never expected that:

When the male lead was struggling on the brink of death, Xia Shengqiao told him to die somewhere else and not get filth on her shoes.

When Qin Zonghuai came to hold power over the realm, the official boat sent to receive Xia Shengqiao capsized. No one could find her, alive or dead. At the news, a thread of crimson blood seeped from the lips of the iron-hearted man.

"Find her. Dig up the earth if you have to, but bring her back."

Coming soon: The Frail Virtuous Wife Gives Up

Born into the family of a salt merchant as their only daughter, Lin Youxun had only two goals for the first eighteen years of her life: protect the Lin family business and find a live-in son-in-law to carry on the family line.

To be a dutiful daughter, Lin Youxun rose before dawn and returned by moonlight, pouring her heart and soul into the family business.

Just as she was about to take over, her father sprang a "surprise" on her: an illegitimate son.

Her father was overjoyed.

"The family business will belong to your younger brother from now on. You don't have to find a live-in husband, either. I once saved an important man, and I'll use that favor to find you a good match."

The prestigious Qi family produced generations of scholars who entered officialdom through the imperial exams, priding themselves on their refined family values and despising merchants. As the saying went, "A scholar's family considers trade a disgrace."

Lin Youxun's father called in his favor and forced Qi Huan, the most outstanding young man of the Qi family, to marry her.

By marrying his daughter into the Qi family, Lin Youxun's father secured an eminent, prestigious match for his youngest son.

The Qi family welcomed a merchant's daughter with a generous dowry in order to repay a favor. Not only was the family's reputation unharmed, but people praised their sense of gratitude.

Both the Lin and Qi families got what they wanted.

Even before she entered the household, Lin Youxun was fated to be hated by her mother-in-law and disliked by her husband. No one cared what became of her.

After falling ill, Lin Youxun learned in a fever dream that she had transmigrated into a book. She was a thoroughly wronged cannon-fodder heroine, a dutiful daughter at home and a virtuous wife in the Qi household, who died young from exhaustion.

Her father's illegitimate son used her life to win the Qi family's protection and enjoy a lifetime of wealth.

After her death, Qi Huan married the heroine, who had nothing but the empty reputation of coming from a scholarly family. She lamented Lin Youxun's short life while happily accepting her generous dowry.

When she woke up, Lin Youxun was furious. To hell with being a dutiful daughter or a virtuous wife. She was done trying.

"Your father is getting old. Your younger brother will have to rely on you from now on."

Her father was trying to brainwash her again. Lin Youxun smiled. "Give me that hundred-mu mulberry grove first."

"We're father and daughter, and you dare to bargain with me?" her father roared.

"Let's not talk about feelings. That'll cost us money."

"You..." Her father was at a loss for words.

She married into the Qi family.

As expected, her mother-in-law hated her.

"You're clumsy. From now on, you won't serve the meals," her mother-in-law snapped.

Lin Youxun covered her face with a handkerchief and ran off, sobbing. Everyone thought she was mortified, but she was happily rolling around on her bed. Now she wouldn't have to get up early anymore.

It was just that she couldn't figure out the thoughts of her husband, the young top scorer in the provincial exam who later became the third-place winner in the imperial exam.

Qi Huan acted cool and indifferent by day, but at night he left her weak in the knees and boneless. He was a man of profound cunning.

"Husband, you knew all along that I'm no virtuous wife." When it came to scheming, Lin Youxun was no match for him. She steeled herself, laid everything bare, and asked him to divorce her.

"A divorce?" Qi Huan calmly grabbed her hand, his dark eyes burning red. "My wife, you can forget about that for the rest of your life."
