[A fake emotional expert, actually a short-tempered heroine who's slow to grasp her own feelings and occasionally gets carried away acting VS a seemingly flirtatious hero who's actually sincere, doubts everything, and talks himself into falling in love]
Other people's transmigration stories come with a System and endless golden fingers, letting them defy fate and change their lives. Jiang Yuejiao's transmigration, on the other hand, is a collection of misfortunes, with a touch of horror.
Scene one: My only older sister is gravely ill in the palace, and I try to climb into my brother-in-law the emperor's bed.
Scene two: My devoted brother-in-law secretly harms my sister. Is the emperor's favor a blessing or a curse?
Scene three: My biological parents sell me for wealth and status, while my brother-in-law seems to be developing feelings for me.
Scene four: The favored consort is accused of stealing the emperor's affection and causing a death. The mystery surrounding my sister's death resurfaces.
Jiang Yuejiao: Didn't they say transmigrating would give me a carefree, feel-good life? I had just one sister who was kind to me, and she died under mysterious circumstances.
So Jiang Yuejiao decides to investigate the mysterious death of the empress.
As for her methods, Jiang Yuejiao, professional hireling, four-year cosplayer, and gold-medal "substitute," smiles faintly and says: Who doesn't have someone they can't forget?
Jiang Yuejiao, who considers herself highly experienced, has her own rules: never let the client think she's out of character, and never let the client fall in love with her.
It isn't until the famously charming emperor pins her to the bed, desire rising in his eyes, that Jiang Yuejiao truly panics for the first time. "Look closely. I'm not my sister!"
The emperor stares at her for a moment, then smiles, the corners of his eyes crinkling. He gently touches her lips. "Jiaojiao, the only person I've ever loved is you."
At first, Yue Huaizhou found Jiang Yuejiao noisy and difficult to deal with.
He had a dynasty to rule, vast lands, and countless subjects. Foreign enemies eyed his realm hungrily, while traitors at home colluded with them and sold out the country.
Jiang Yuejiao was the late empress's younger sister, and also a puppet sent to his bedside by a traitor.
Out of consideration for the late empress, Yue Huaizhou treated her leniently. He never expected her to keep crossing the limits of his patience.
Investigating the empress's death, imitating her older sister to vie for his favor, and even... even openly impersonating other men in the palace!
Unable to take any more, the emperor imprisoned her. But when he saw the sadness in Jiang Yuejiao's eyes, he suddenly realized:
He felt for her.
Perhaps it would be more accurate to say he loved her.
He had already fallen in love with her while he thought he was only doubting and testing her.
Later, the History of Yao: Biographies of Emperor Wen's Consorts recorded:
Emperor Wen of the Yue dynasty, Yue Huaizhou, doted exclusively on the second daughter of the Jiang family.
In the fifth year of Taian, she was made empress. She was greatly favored.
They shared a bed in life and the same rites in death.
Reader's guide
1. Single-couple romance, one-on-one, with no angst in the romance.
2. The investigation into the empress's death is the main plot. The career aspect is minor.
3. The definition and content of a "cosplayer commission" have been expanded. Please don't judge it by real-world standards.
4. The heroine has no golden finger and doesn't have an easy, satisfying time from beginning to end. The opening is somewhat heavy, but the tone lightens after Chapter 11.
Theme: Never stop seeking the truth.
The cover and title are so interesting, fattening heehee 🍉
