Novel blurb:
"In chaotic times, a person is worse off than a dog in peaceful times..."
When Cui Che, playing an NPC, tumbles headfirst into this world, she has no personal experience to relate to that saying.
She arrives at the top of the food chain in this era, as a noblewoman of the Qinghe Cui clan, one of the Five Great Clans and Seven Prominent Houses. But circumstances force her clan to arrange a marriage for her, and the groom-to-be is none other than Li Fengxiao, the Prince of Wei Commandery, who was born into a humble family.
Worse still, the original Cui Che considers the engagement a terrible humiliation and plans to elope with her childhood sweetheart...
At the last moment, her sweetheart never shows up. The family announces that the original Cui Che died of a sudden illness, and so "Cui Che" becomes "the deceased."
But Cui Che doesn't mind. She ended up here for no reason, and as long as she has clothes to wear, a roof over her head, and three full meals a day, she'll accept her fate.
But why can't even these modest hopes come true?
No matter! If words can't get the point across, then she'll use a "blade" to make her point!
She has peerless martial arts gifted by a System bug, along with a horizontal saber and a guard saber, both invincible and unstoppable...
She will fight for a world where she and all the lowly people under heaven can simply survive!
Theme: People should always reason things out!
