Lu Ying is the ace transmigrator at the Book Transmigration Bureau. She's been named Best Transmigrator five years in a row, the apple of her boss's eye, the thorn in her colleagues' sides, and a thorn in the side of every other team.
A diligent, dedicated professional, she'd never made a mistake before. Then she stumbled into a story System called The Legend of Lu Wuxin.
According to the outline, she was the short-lived mother of the heroine, Lu Wuxin. Her job was to raise her daughter until the age of sixteen, set her on the path to tangled romances with four outstanding male leads, then die right on schedule to fuel the heroine's rise with tragedy.
Lu Ying followed the script, but as her daughter neared marriage, she began losing sleep every night.
Why should she hand the treasure she'd raised herself over to someone else?
Why should the two people closest to each other have to end up forever parted by life and death?
For the first time in her life, this gold-medal wage slave wanted to overturn this damned plot!
Lu Wuxin was born into poverty. At sixteen, her family was massacred, her mother died, her village was destroyed, and she was left with nothing. But with her own intelligence and the help and recognition of benefactors, she gradually became the richest person in the Southern Dynasty.
Four exceptional men were drawn to her: her childhood sweetheart, a young general, loved her with all his heart; a sinister, lovesick young heir to a princely estate tried to take her by force; an ascetic swordsman and master couldn't suppress his feelings; and a calculating official of the Orchid Terrace schemed at every turn...
At the end of the story, she had amassed a fortune as vast as a mountain. She was supposed to choose one of these four men, hold a grand wedding, and find her happily-ever-after.
But on her wedding night, Lu Wuxin bound all four men who were infatuated with her inside the room, then drew her long sword...
The gleaming blade hovered beneath the men's throats, almost piercing their windpipes.
Lu Wuxin gripped the hilt, her expression indifferent.
"Tell me where my mother, Lu Ying, is."
She spoke to the System that controlled her life from the shadows, her words laced with menace, one by one.
"Otherwise, I won't hesitate to kill them."
