After staying up all night to finish a novel about a scummy top and a masochistic bottom, movie star Xu Yuejian was pounding his chest in frustration when he transmigrated into the story as a cannon-fodder bottom with the same name.

Good news: He's alive, and he's the Prince Regent's consort.

Bad news: He's going to be assassinated by the villain, his enemy, tonight.

Good news: There's also a System.

Bad news: He has to reform the villain to get home.

2.

Looking at the corruption level on the panel, Xu Yuejian smiled. "Might as well be dead!"

System: There's still hope!

3.

To lower the corruption level, Xu Yuejian pretends to be a lovesick invalid, gasping for breath every few steps.

If the Prince Regent doesn't come home, he refuses to eat.

If the Prince Regent is injured, his eyes fill with tears, and he'd gladly take his place.

If the Prince Regent is impeached by the court officials, he grabs a rope and tries to hang himself at their door.

The people: He loves him so much!

The court officials: Don't love him that much!

Even the maids and servants in the manor begin secretly shedding tears for Xu Yuejian.

Prince Regent Shen Xianqing: ...Do you want to see how he can eat five bowls of rice in one sitting?

4.

Shen Xianqing, the young Prince Regent, assisted the new emperor when he was young. Cold by nature, he had been a master strategist since childhood. He never expected to slip up and be tricked into marrying a fool.

They could have carried on peacefully, as they always had.

But who knew this man was such a good actor!

Rumor had it that when Shen Xianqing didn't come home, Xu Yuejian couldn't eat. Yet Shen had clearly seen him hiding in his room, gnawing on a roast chicken!

Rumor had it that when Shen was injured, Xu Yuejian cried his eyes out and wished he could be injured in his place. Yet Shen had clearly seen him tuck garlic into his sleeve, crying as he snuck a couple of bites.

Rumor had it that when Shen was impeached by the court officials, Xu Yuejian tried to hang himself at their door. Yet Shen had clearly heard him discussing how much money he could extort from them.

Until one night, when he came home late, the people on the street, the attendants at the gate, and the manor's steward all looked at him like he was a heartless cad.

Shen Xianqing smiled. "Are you all blind?"

5.

Once the alarm over the corruption level was lifted, Xu Yuejian discussed it with the System, and they decided to run away.

But before they could even reach the city gates, the Emperor's Four Guards and a pack of wolves were dispatched.

Xu Yuejian stared at the mass of black-armored guards, panicking when he saw the ruthless possessiveness in Shen Xianqing's eyes.

In the blink of an eye, he was in Shen Xianqing's arms. Those dark eyes glared at him as Shen said, "Where does my Prince Regent's consort think he's going? Didn't you love me so much you couldn't eat?"

Xu Yuejian: ...

#Who else accidentally turned a fake romance with the Prince Regent into the real thing#

#Thanks for asking. Next time I transmigrate into a book, I'll memorize the whole thing first#

Both are pure, HE (they only have eyes for each other)

Shi Jinyi, widely considered the most useless prince of the Great Zhou, secretly took his sister's place in the wedding sedan and went to marry into the grasslands. He became the consort of Qi Sun, the Wolf King.

When the emperor found out, he fainted in front of all his ministers. When he woke up, he discovered that Shi Jinyi had left them a letter. It read:

Father, don't worry, I will help everyone bow down the Wolf King!

Three of the fourteen characters were wrong. The emperor felt a little comforted, but soon his heart began pounding nervously again.

Everyone in the Great Zhou knew that Qi Sun was exceptionally brutal. In just two years, he had killed the old Wolf King and taken the throne. From top to bottom, he had replaced them all.

Wasn't sending his foolish son there just feeding him to the wolves?!

The emperor wasn't the only one who thought so. The ministers of the Great Zhou were shaking with fear, worried that Qi Sun would think they had deceived him and invade with his army!

Yet a year passed without an invasion, and instead a letter arrived.

Father, I've been craving the imperial kitchen's crystal ice cakes lately. Could you ask Master Chef Chen to copy down the ingredients and send them over? Bu Ri Gu De can't find them.

After receiving the letter, the emperor summoned everyone to investigate its hidden meaning. They worked at it for three days and nights, but found nothing. His precious son had simply been craving a snack.

Everyone thought it was the prince's last meal and wiped away their tears.

Then, at the Thousand Autumns Festival, the Wolf King arrived at court with the Ministry of War to celebrate.

As the welcoming envoys waited outside, they suddenly heard a commotion from inside the tent. The wind blew, and the tent flap lifted.

The Wolf King, broad-shouldered as a mountain and reputed to have slaughtered countless people, was crouched on a wooden board, putting shoes on their useless prince. Not only that, the envoys heard the prince complain:

"I told you not to mess with my feet. Now look, the shoes don't fit!"

"I'm not wearing them! Just carry me down."
