When Ye Mingshang opened her eyes, she had transmigrated into a book, into the body of a mad princess suffering from hysteria. In other words, she was the cannon-fodder villain of the story.
After the original owner watched her own brother die a gruesome death, she often went half-mad and half-delirious, forgetting who she was. Yet she used her status to throw tantrums and plead for the hand of Jiang Fuyue, the daughter of the Left Chancellor, who was both the heroine of the book and the woman her brother had loved.
She blamed the heroine entirely for her brother's death. Whenever she remembered his terrible final moments, she took out her anger on the heroine, humiliating and abusing her, beating her at the slightest excuse. In the end, the heroine met her destined love and was saved.
Of course, as the cannon-fodder villain and the heroine's ex-wife, the mad princess earned herself the title of Beggars' Sect Leader... She fought dogs for scraps, was reviled by everyone, and truly went insane.
Ye Mingshang's timing was terrible. Jiang Fuyue, with her clothes in disarray, was tied to the bed by the original owner, staring at her with wide, dark eyes full of fear and shock...!
The situation was dire, so Ye Mingshang had a sudden idea. She hurried over, untied the heroine, then said in a foolish voice, "Good one, wife! Give me another one right here, hehe!!!"
Humiliated and furious, Jiang Fuyue really slapped her, putting all her strength into it and leaving an obvious red mark on Ye Mingshang's pretty face. From then on, the way the two got along took a completely different turn...!
Whenever the heroine so much as looked displeased, Ye Mingshang obediently handed her the "little whip," her eyes innocent.
Later, their stepmother schemed to send them off together to the old family home. With barely enough food for three meals and a leaking roof, the fool could no longer keep up the act!
But the mad princess still had to follow her cannon-fodder storyline, so Ye Mingshang could only keep leaping between madness and foolishness. One second she would have her wife pinned to the bed, and the next she would meekly admit defeat.
Bonus scene:
Jiang Fuyue gazed at the dilapidated roof, their meager savings, baskets of radishes, and the fool she had to support. In a gentle voice, she asked, "Didn't you sneak a peek at Daya and Yuxia kissing yesterday? Did you learn how?"
Ye Mingshang paused, then foolishly replied with her beautiful, otherworldly face, "I learned!"
Jiang Fuyue narrowed her eyes and said sternly, "Then hurry over here!"
Gentle, quiet, sweet-on-the-outside-but-sharp-on-the-inside future sister-in-law vs. younger masochistic mad princess
System: "You really do jump right into the plot, don't you!"
Ye Mingshang: "To die beneath the peonies is still to die in bliss!"
