After Transmigrating into a Book, My Husband Turned Out to Be the Male Lead of an Angsty Novel (Female-Dominated World)

My new novel, "I Became His Legitimate Husband [GB]," is now available. Please add it to your reading list ⊙▽⊙

Blurb: Yun Shu becomes the merchant's daughter who is a wastrel in the novel. In the book, she is obsessed with handsome men and makeup, and her back courtyard is full of male attendants.

Yun Shu transmigrates early enough to quickly sort out those problems, then heads to the capital to seek an official post by a different route.

Yun Shu makes plenty of friends along the way. Before she has earned any honors, she's already become famous.

She thinks she can use this to climb to success, but instead she ends up as the live-in husband, marrying Li Chi'an, the legitimate son of the Minister of Rites.

But he's the male lead in the novel. How could she be the one marrying him? Surely the road to the wedding will be full of twists and turns, or they'll separate after getting married. Losing her position would be a small matter; losing her life would be a big one.

Yun Shu is itching with curiosity, completely unaware of what lies ahead.

Yet a month after the wedding, Yun Shu has watched him closely and still hasn't found anything suspicious. Her new husband certainly fits the description of a male lead: fair-skinned and beautiful, considerate, with bright eyes and pearly teeth. He does love to cry, though, and Yun Shu is utterly confused.

Li Chi'an takes a liking to a young woman reading with her head lowered in a teahouse. After asking around, he learns that she is rotten inside despite her fine exterior, a pretty face hiding a terrible private life.

Later, he meets Yun Shu again at the Xiqing Banquet and sees her surrounded by a crowd of men. Combined with the strange dreams he's been having lately, this gives Li Chi'an another idea.

Li Chi'an has never thought much of women. His mother may dote on him, but she won't choose a husband for her son based on his wishes.

When he sees that he's about to be married off to an idiot, Li Chi'an, in a moment of desperation, tells his mother he wants to marry Yun Shu.

But after the wedding, Li Chi'an gets even angrier and cries constantly. His temper grows increasingly fierce, and he can only grit his teeth and play the part of a virtuous, magnanimous husband.

1. Female lead, male love interest; both virgins. One-on-one romance

2. 70% anti-piracy threshold

3. The female lead is slow to warm up and indifferent to love. The male lead appears later, and the supporting characters are all a little crazy.

Theme: Independence
