Su Moyi transmigrates into a male-oriented BL erotica novel and becomes the wife of a short-lived NPC.
The NPC is in poor health and coughs up blood at the slightest breath of wind, but he's fabulously wealthy and, to top it off, a genuine young beauty.
As the saying goes, a husband's good looks are his wife's glory.
A woman without legal status in a chaotic age, Su Moyi only wants to keep her head down and survive. In the original, one bottom is shared by several tops, ending with everyone in bed together, while the heterosexual characters all meet different gruesome ends.
Who knew the main character on the receiving end would also be a transmigrator, and that it would be her utterly exasperating boss?
The moment he showed up, he stole her wedding.
And made off with the groom.
Su Moyi: ...So homophobia is just being deep in the closet. The ancients really knew what they were talking about.

Xie Ji, the original story's foremost aloof beauty and top.
His looks rival a white lotus. He is pure as ice and snow from head to toe, dressed in plain white, with only his soft, rosy lower lip adding a touch of color.
He wields the Immortal Sword Duanshui and has slain countless evil spirits.
Not only is he the greatest powerhouse of his age, destined to die young, but he is also the unattainable white moonlight of the main character's life.
The original story even spells it out: all the beautiful tops the protagonist finds after Xie Ji's death are substitutes for him.
Yet this flower on a high peak never even glances at the protagonist. One snowy night, he stands alone in the courtyard of the widowed Su Moyi and gently knocks on her door.
A noble gentleman, as graceful as an orchid, lowers his lashes. His wedding robes are dusted with frost-white snow.
"Xie Ji of the Xie clan of Chen Commandery wishes to become your secret lover, my lady."
-
Liu Yan, a villainous powerhouse who appears to be an ordinary NPC, but is in truth a writhing, emotionless, humanoid creature.
A beautiful, sickly youth as fragile as a paper lantern. When he smiles, his almond eyes curve like those of a kind little bodhisattva. In secret, he is cruel and terrifying, and to him people are no more than bugs he can crush at will.
In the end, he dies by the hand of the plot, becoming a part of the top-and-bottom couple's bedroom games.
Unexpectedly, he survives the ending. At dusk, beneath a rain of blood, he climbs into Su Moyi's bed wearing her late husband's clothes, stepping over the corpses of the protagonist and his harem.
The youth's figure is long and graceful. His raven hair falls like a spiderweb, and black fingernails caress the girl's slender, pale neck, lingering over the marks of kisses.
He suddenly raises his eyelids, his empty gaze licking over Su Moyi's face.
"Since you love to play around so much, why not play with your husband?"
Su Moyi watches in horror as blackness, like ink, quickly floods his wide almond eyes.
His smooth, rosy lips slowly stretch into a ghostly, feverish smile:
"Your husband may be dead, but that doesn't mean he doesn't love you anymore."
