Rong Jie transmigrated into a book.
Not into a power fantasy about a dragon-proud protagonist, nor a story about a cool, aloof master being dominated, but into an old-fashioned novel: The Bone-Eroding Favorite: The Domineering Prince Is So Bewitching.
He had become the cross-dressing fiancee of the old-school male lead, and could die and escape back home after completing half the plot.
The male lead, Zuo Qinmo, was the archetypal old-school hero: wickedly charming, arrogantly domineering, peerless in the world. His lines were so dated that hearing them made people cringe.
Rong Jie wasn't convinced. "He's a prince, after all. How cringey can he be?"
When Rong Jie transmigrated into the story, he was being hunted by covert guards and accidentally crashed into the male lead's arms.
After a long silence, the male lead slowly raised an eyebrow and curled his lips into a wicked smile. "Woman, are you... playing hard to get?"
Rong Jie: "..." I'm dying of embarrassment.

After finishing the first half of the story, Rong Jie faked his death.
But something went wrong with his escape. He couldn't return to the modern world, and instead became a palace physician, a cannon-fodder character who existed to show how much the male lead doted on his wife.
The male lead was holding his unconscious fiancee, the very body Rong Jie had used before. His expression was dazed and gloomy, his spirit utterly crushed.
Rong Jie's heart softened, and he was about to step forward and comfort him.
At the sound, the male lead looked up and barked imperiously, "My little wildcat has to live. If you can't cure her, I'll take your dog life!"
The little wildcat herself: "..."
Why could he still be forced into a public humiliation after faking his death?
So embarrassed his soul nearly left his body, Rong Jie replied expressionlessly, "As you command."
-
One day, the male lead strode into the hot spring in a black robe embroidered with gold, his entire bearing cold and fierce, and pinned Rong Jie against the side of the pool.
His sharp eyes swept lazily over Rong Jie, arrogant and reckless, radiating an alluring air of danger. His voice was sinister and icy. "Man, today I'll give you a chance to have me. Don't fail to appreciate it..."
Rong Jie had been through it all and was calm as still water. "Speak like a normal person."
The male lead: "...A-Rong, when can I kiss you?"
