After transmigrating, Wei Ran was assigned Xie Wen, the male supporting character in a wife-chasing-to-the-crematorium novel, as her target to win over.
Everyone knew that Prince Zhao, Xie Wen, was elegant and refined, a man of noble character and one of the capital's Four Young Gentlemen.
When he was young, Xie Wen took an arrow for the Emperor, leaving him with a lingering illness. After that, he kept to himself and stayed out of worldly affairs.
The Emperor doted on him immensely, always making sure his younger brother got the very best of everything.
The noblewomen of the capital were desperate to enter Prince Zhao's residence and win the heart of this heaven-blessed young man.
*
Wei Ran was one of them.
In private, she studied every detail of Xie Wen's personality and preferences.
Whatever he liked, she learned to like too, making sure she was fully prepared.
At last, during a banquet, Wei Ran successfully caught Xie Wen's eye with a Hu Xuan dance.
From then on, she began appearing in his life again and again, racking her brains to win him over.
One day, the System suddenly told her that she'd been pursuing the wrong target.
Wei Ran had been worried that her golden reputation would be ruined by Xie Wen. That aloof, untouchable man was as dispassionate as a monk and impossible to flirt with, so she happily accepted her new mission.

In a secret chamber, candlelight flickered.
Xie Wen sat on the edge of the bed. The man who was usually gentle and dignified tore away his gentlemanly disguise, his pale, slender fingers softly caressing an exquisite puppet as he smiled.
"A Ran, you have two choices: enter my household, or become my woman."
Wei Ran: "..."
Oh no, there goes my record!
The male lead's story:
Prince Zhao, Xie Wen, had a secret.
When he was young, he took an arrow for his elder brother and was left with a lingering illness. Whenever it flared up, he fell into a frenzy, and only bloodshed could soothe him.
By chance, he later discovered that the Wei family's young lady, who kept throwing herself at him, had a remarkable effect on him: she could calm and steady his mind.
Xie Wen began harboring improper thoughts.
Who could have guessed that the young woman who had once been so attentive to him would change her attitude faster than a page could turn?
After some careful observation, Xie Wen pulled a brilliant move and stole the male lead.
Male lead: Sob, sob~~
Wei Ran: ???
System: ???
Female lead: ???
Faced with a chaotic plot that not even ten horses could drag back on track, the System gave in and tried to talk to Wei Ran.
"Host, how about you just... make a small sacrifice?"
"What kind of sacrifice?"
"The all-inclusive kind."
"..."
Oh no, save my chastity or save my record?
That's the question!
