As a native of this world, Jiang Li is a born winner: her mother is the Grand General Who Guards the Nation, and her father is the emperor's younger brother.
Jiang Li has been a spoiled young troublemaker for seventeen whole years. Then one day, she wakes up and realizes she's the heroine of a book!
Jiang Li: The main character, huh~
Unfortunately, before she can finish dreaming about being the protagonist, she notices the word “Original” over her head. The new heroines, meanwhile, are various supporting characters whose souls have been replaced by transmigrators.
As the original heroine, Jiang Li has a charmed life, and everything goes smoothly for her. There are enough men secretly in love with her to go around the imperial palace twice, so she acts as she pleases and never tries to get ahead. Yet good fortune always falls into her lap.
The new heroines who have transmigrated into the story sneer that Jiang Li is hopeless and good for nothing, while stealing her opportunities and harming her family.
Jiang Li: ...What shameless people!
As the original heroine, Jiang Li has to protect her family, but she also wants to prove herself!
So...
1. In the original story, she falls off her horse and meets a famous doctor. Instead, Jiang Li gallops ahead of everyone else and wins first place, leaving the doctor stunned!
Who knew the famous doctor was into a good horse race?
Meanwhile, the new heroine, who was supposed to “fall off her horse,” lies on the ground, wide-eyed. What even...
2. In the original story, she gets the exam questions before the imperial examinations. Instead, Jiang Li reports someone for cheating, and the exam hall is thoroughly investigated.
The new heroine, who got the questions in advance: What the hell...
3. In the original story, she saves the emperor's life. Jiang Li takes a knife for the emperor and is badly wounded, earning the emperor's trust.
Just as the new heroine thinks her chance has finally come,
she discovers Jiang Li has already beaten the assassin black and blue, then asks the emperor, “Auntie, these assassins are kind of weak, aren't they?”
The new heroine, who was about to sacrifice herself: ...Just kill me. I'm the one who's no good!
After all that, Jiang Li, who was supposed to fade into the background and be replaced by a new heroine, makes a comeback!
Jiang Li: I just don't want to get ahead. It's not that I can't.
Just then, her betrothed, the top young gentleman in the capital, the male lead as aloof and noble as a snow lotus, walks toward her.
Jiang Li: Oh, here comes the broken engagement plot at last!
But then he holds out an embroidered mandarin-duck sachet. His jade-white earlobes turn red as he quietly says, “I just learned to make this. I don't know if you might want it.”
