A laid-back beauty vs. a possessive, green-tea-type yandere. Marriage before love.
After years of hard work, Wen Xili finally bought a house in a city where every inch of land was worth a fortune. Then she woke up to find she'd transmigrated into a book.
She'd become the contrast-group female character in a household-intrigue novel.
In the story, the heroine was favored by her parents at home, and after marrying the hero, they loved each other wholeheartedly and lived happily ever after.
But although the original owner was the legitimate daughter, her father disliked her, and her mother treated her as a tool for winning favor. The man she loved married the heroine.
She was also framed and married off to an obscure concubine-born son. The couple were strangers to each other, and they had no children in five years of marriage.
In the end, she couldn't let go of her obsession and tried to seduce the hero. When she was discovered, she was locked away in the rear quarters, went mad, and died.
Wen Xili: ??? I'll just lie flat.
She transmigrated right into the middle of her wedding. A blind marriage wasn't for her. As a woman with principles, she absolutely wouldn't let anything happen that night.
Before she could say a word, someone lifted her veil, and the first thing she saw was a young man, both noble and beautiful.
His starry eyes held a faint smile.
Wen Xili thought: Actually, we can take our time developing feelings later.
She thought she'd found a simple, handsome young man.
Later, after she was locked in a dark room and one compliment about a handsome servant left not a single male creature in the courtyard the next day, Wen Xili finally realized what kind of monster she'd provoked.
Short Scene
Wen Xili had been put under house arrest, but she didn't know it. Her maid said it was because she'd come back late the day before.
On the eighth day, the maid told her she could leave the courtyard again. Wen Xili, lounging against the headboard with her hair loose as she read a storybook, replied, "Don't interrupt my studies."
After several days without seeing her leave, Xuan Shiyan thought she was upset, so he approached her with a smile.
"The flowers are blooming in the north of the city. Shall I take you to see them?"
Wen Xili turned her head lazily. "Oh, I can go out now?"
Xuan Shiyan: ...
