A wage slave, braving the cold with head held high, read an old transmigration novel while slacking off at work.
It was about a transmigrated heroine who entered a book as a goddess, used the original plot to wield her golden finger, and ultimately helped the male lead ascend the throne and become empress.
The plot was clichéd, but back then it was unbelievably popular.
Even the villains had their fans. Someone once started a forum thread that grew to ten million posts just to denounce one vicious princess in the story.
It was all because the princess was spoiled and overbearing, and treated the male lead's younger brother, the Crown Prince of Chu Yuan who'd been sent as a hostage, like an animal, tormenting him in every way.
The plot was so heartbreaking that when the male lead raised an army to save his brother, he learned that his brother, unable to endure the princess's abuse, had killed her with a single sword stroke and was then brutally murdered by Zhang Kingdom.
The plot was so vile that readers cursed not only the characters, but the author too.
The wage slave was thoroughly engrossed at work. The vicious plot upset her so much that she felt faint.
When she opened her eyes again... the wage slave who'd been slacking off had transmigrated into a book...
She stared at the elaborate clothes she was wearing and fell silent for a long time.
I... you... he... she became the vicious princess?!
Crown Prince of Chu Yuan: Duan Yiyou
Sent to Zhang Kingdom as a hostage when he was a child, he grew up being beaten and bullied. At his lowest point, the princess saved him.
But what he thought was the sun turned out to be an even deeper abyss.
When the princess was fourteen, she rescued him and kept him by her side. She had a stunning, breathtaking face, but a vicious heart and a spoiled, domineering nature. During the two years after she took him in, not a patch of skin on his body was left unbruised. In the end, she treated him like a worthless plaything to mock and amuse herself.
Unable to take any more, he killed the princess with a single sword stroke.
A hostage who kills a princess can hardly expect a happy ending.
His hatred surged as he opened his eyes again, only to find that he had been reborn as a child.
But this time... both he and the princess were still young. Looking at the princess, who was only six or seven, he wanted to crush her to death on the spot.
A sweet little story? Yes, yes it is.
A little heads-up: transmigration/transmigrating into a book, rebirth, and rebirth again!
