[An aloof, cold-blooded, ruthless spy posing as a guard X a carefree, lie-flat, lazy princess]
After an accident leaves Sì Yue dead, she transmigrates into the reborn-sweetheart novel The Emperor's Affection for Me, which she had just finished criticizing.
She has transmigrated into the body of a cannon-fodder princess with the same name, whose country has fallen and family has been wiped out.
The spy from an enemy country, Nangong Jing, had spent ten years protecting her at her side, but he deceived her. Not long after the story starts, enemy troops surround the capital, and she eventually jumps from the city wall to her death in front of everyone.
The heroine, Su Rouyun, is the sort of character found in many formulaic novels:
She died a tragic death in her previous life, then discovered that the male lead, Nangong Jing, would become emperor and that they had a connection dating back to childhood. Reborn in this life, she deliberately gets close to Nangong Jing, wins his affection by acting fragile, and begins a happy life.
After Sì Yue glances at Nangong Jing, the enemy spy lying low by her side, and sees him carefully peeling an apple for her,
... She's tired. This guy is too calculating, so she's going to lie flat.
The fall of the country is still a long way off, so she has people secretly dig tunnels in the palace. When the time comes, she'll quietly grab the money and run.
Meanwhile, she can sneakily watch the book's hero and heroine fall in love. It's practically a livestream, hehe~
But she can't help making snarky comments, and her awkward remarks keep getting the hero and heroine's attention...
When Su Rouyun "accidentally" falls in front of Nangong Jing, Sì Yue, hiding behind a tree, can't help herself:
"Tsk, tsk, the ground is so flat and you still managed to fall. What a tender, watery gaze. Such a delicate little beauty!"
Su Rouyun: ...
When Su Rouyun uses a childhood keepsake to reveal her identity to Nangong Jing, Sì Yue, hiding behind the door, says:
"Tsk, tsk, does someone really fall in love with a girl after one meeting and decide she has to be the one?"
Nangong Jing: ...
As the days go by, the relationship between Sì Yue and Nangong Jing somehow starts to change.
*
On the day the country falls, a sudden fire breaks out in Sì Yue's chambers. Right in front of the enemy troops, she leaps into the flames.
Nangong Jing arrives a step too late. He tries to rush in, but the soldiers hold him back on all sides.
"No!!!" Kneeling in the courtyard, he is so devastated his eyes look ready to burst as he watches the fire consume the chambers.
After ascending the throne, Nangong Jing desperately searches the world for anyone capable of bringing Sì Yue back to life, but to no avail.
*
Later, a town gains a new resident: a woman who claims to have been abandoned by her heartless lover. With nothing to do, she spends all day lying in the courtyard, sunbathing and watching the resident courtesans sing and play music. Life is wonderful.
One day, the Imperial Guards surround the courtyard, standing on high alert.
Nangong Jing holds back his anger as he looks at the woman lounging in a rocking chair and leisurely eating grapes.
"I heard you've been spreading rumors everywhere that I'm a heartless man. You're the one who slept with me and then refused to take responsibility."
Sì Yue: !!!!
(Don't believe or spread rumors.)
