Nian Chunchun transmigrates into a novel as a wicked, disposable supporting female character, a maid to the sweet and delicate heroine. Though lowborn, she foolishly dreams of using her modest looks to drug and seduce the marquis, the male lead.
But the male lead, a connoisseur of scheming women, sees through her plot. During the chaos of war, she is abandoned in the wilderness, where wild dogs devour her. Her body is left exposed in the wild, with no peace in death.
The timing of her transmigration is rather unfortunate.
The original owner has done every kind of evil and is left behind by the army at just that moment. Crying, she can only scramble after the male lead's speeding carriage, then get a face full of dust kicked up in its wake.
Nian Chunchun: "..."
She wipes her face, her heart sinking into despair.
What a hellish start from the start!
This is a time of chaos, with lords vying for supremacy. The male lead is a heaven-chosen lord destined to quell the war and conquer the Central Plains, while the heroine is a beautiful, sweet, and delicate noblewoman from one of the great aristocratic clans. They are a match made in heaven, destined to become a celebrated couple.
She has neither money nor power.
Even surviving is hard.
Fortunately, she gets bound to a Mary Sue System.
The System confidently advises her, "I'll give you a strategy and back you up. I have a System exchange shop, plus papermaking, gunpowder, soap, glass, and penicillin. That's enough to raise your status! People are driven by profit. With me around, I guarantee the male lead will kneel and beg you to come back and be his empress. Among three thousand waters, he'll drink from only one gourd!"
Nian Chunchun: "..."
She gives a cold laugh. "I shall become emperor!"
Seduce the male lead? My foot!
Now that she's bound to a System, she's the one destined to rule!
