Ning Siyin transmigrated into a civil-service-exam novel as the male lead's first wife, who had shared his hardships.
In the original story, the male lead, Li Zhixian, was framed and thrown into prison just before the palace examination.
His wife, Ning Siyin, disguised herself as a man and went to the capital to save him. She came first in the exam and became its top scholar, only to be unexpectedly ordered by the Emperor to marry the current princess, Song Yujing.
But how could the princess's consort possibly be a woman?
Facing the crime of deceiving the Emperor, which would bring ruin upon three generations of her family, and with the man she loved trapped in prison, Ning Siyin had no choice but to take his place and let him escape.
From then on, Li Zhixian began his rise to power as the consort of the reigning princess. Later, amid the chaos of war, he contended with the realm's greatest powers. Seated alone on the imperial throne, he often thought of his deceased wife, who had once risked everything to save him.
Ning Siyin, who had transmigrated here: ...Damn it, a cannon-fodder role again.
Starting over, who cares who plays the male lead?
"The road to the underworld is long. I have plenty of time to remember you, slowly."
She walked out of the prison, only to find her way blocked by a figure at the corner.
The person handed her an embroidered handkerchief. She wore a skirt, but her voice was low and hoarse:
"Your face is dirty. Clean it with this."
Ning Siyin looked up and met a pair of shadowy eyes through the curtain of rain.
That was the first time she crossed paths with the legendary princess.
*
"I will wear golden hairpins and skirts, and sit openly upon the dragon throne."
"I will watch the ministers bow with pale faces, then lift my brow and laugh:"
"What, I'm the Emperor. You don't like it?"
If you don't like it, die.
