Su Qingyao had simple dreams: get rich, find a handsome man, and enjoy a taste of what men had to offer.
After finally making a fortune in business, she died young before she could enjoy any of it. At least she transmigrated into a book. But why did she not only lack a cheat ability, but also transmigrate into the infamous villainess who would eventually be brutally tortured to death by the big bad?
System: Please help the seventh prince, Zhu Xinghe, who is living among the common people, ascend the throne!
Su Qingyao wasn't about to work for nothing: You want me to be your unpaid workhorse? Do it yourself!
The System begged: Complete the mission and you'll receive ten thousand taels of gold and be reborn! Think it over!
With gold prices on the rise, ten thousand taels of gold would be worth over a billion! What a deal!
Su Qingyao: I'm in! How could I not be? I'll do the job well, work my tail off, and make this thing big!
She was determined to make a comeback and finally enjoy the glorious life of the upper class, with a mountain of riches and handsome men in her arms.
So, following the System's instructions, she found a battered young man in a remote mountain ravine. He didn't say a word, but he was incredibly handsome.
Just look at that pitiful expression and those delicate features. And he's got a halo over his head. If he's not the protagonist, who is?
She took him home and made him her disciple and little sidekick. He obeyed her every word, and she adored him for it.
At first, they had neither power nor influence, were dirt poor, and were bullied wherever they went.
Poor little Zhu Xinghe: Master, they say I have no father or mother, that I'm a little beggar no one cares for, and that I might as well be dead.
Xie Zanxue immediately handed him a stick: Someone else deserves to die. Put up with it once and they'll take a mile; take one step back and they'll walk all over you. Hit them!
He was her money tree. She'd fight anyone who dared lay a hand on him!
She and Zhu Xinghe built their way up, entered the golden palace, and claimed the throne. Victory was within reach, but Heaven had to hit Su Qingyao with a cruel surprise.
She'd picked up the wrong person! The one she'd found was none other than the mad, ruthless regent who would later seize control of the court, slaughter countless people, and torture her original body to death: You Wujing!
You ungrateful disciple! You deceived her for five whole years! You used her to rise to power?!
A wise person doesn't fight when the odds are against them. Su Qingyao rescued the real protagonist from him and ran off with her belongings.
After buying two handsome men as concubines and deciding to enjoy life first before making a comeback, she was caught.
"Master, long time no see."
When they met again, his hair was as white as a waterfall and his beauty unmatched. His hands were stained with blood, his aura murderous, and he had brought out a Gu worm.
He really did want to torture her to death. This time, she was completely done for.
[Blurb Two]
The Chao clan of Southern Xinjiang were masters of Gu, able to control people's minds. The world feared them, but overnight, the entire clan was wiped out. Not one person survived.
You Wujing had no idea how long he had struggled to survive in that lightless living hell.
He ate rat carcasses and drank bloody water, but he was on the verge of death and could not escape his fate.
At the moment he was about to die, she brought him a chance to live.
She protected him and cared for him. She did it all because she mistakenly believed that he was Zhu Xinghe, the child of the enemy who had wiped out his clan, abandoned somewhere outside.
He became greedy for her warmth and disguised himself as the perfect, obedient disciple, "Zhu Xinghe."
But in the end, she discovered the whole truth: that he was a remnant of the Chao clan and had done all those unspeakable things. Like everyone else, she chose to flee from him, and even tried to overthrow his regime...
He laid a vast, inescapable trap and finally found her, only to discover that she already had male concubines, and more than one.
"You like them catering to you in such a filthy way?"
He placed a Gu on her. This way, she would never be able to escape his side for the rest of her life.
"Yaoyao, I can take better care of you than they can. Zhu Xinghe and the others aren't as good as me. Just like me, okay?"
