Jiang Yuan transmigrated into a book and unexpectedly became bound to a System for saving female supporting characters. The System requires her to play female supporting characters in different novel worlds, whether they're vicious or pitiful, all of whom meet tragic ends. She must help them escape their original fates, fulfill their wishes, and live to a ripe old age.
The System says that as long as she completes every mission, she'll not only be able to return to her original world, but also receive a huge sum of money and live without a care for the rest of her life...
For a lazy person like her, this couldn't be a better job.
All she has to do is lie down... lie down... find somewhere safe and lie down... She'll handle whatever comes her way, muddle through the plot, cheer the male and female leads on as they take center stage, and wait for the book to reach its happy ending.
The final world goes especially smoothly. She transmigrates into the book as the tyrant's favorite consort. The tyrant is exceptionally indulgent toward her, and she can do whatever she wants with just a word.
Jiang Yuan completes her mission with flying colors and is about to fake her death with a pill and make her exit when the naturally cruel tyrant flies into a rage in front of her for the first time.
He grips her by the throat and forcibly digs out the pill that would have made her appear dead.
Jiang Yuan: Cough, cough... I won't take it, okay?!
She is about to say something, but the tyrant suddenly pulls her into a fierce embrace, squeezing so hard he nearly crushes her bones and melds her into his flesh.
Trembling all over, he says hoarsely, "Don't you have a rescue System..."
"Why won't you come and save me...?"
"...??"
Jiang Yuan: ...Who are you supposed to be??

It's been ten years since Fan Ran transmigrated into the historical novel The Conquest.
She became the story's last emperor, a woman disguised as a man who took the throne because the royal family had almost no heirs. Surrounded by hostile powers on all sides, she would eventually be overthrown by the male lead. She was also notorious for her debauchery.
The System gave her only one objective at the beginning: survive.
After that, no matter what happened, it never appeared again.
To get home, she relied on her foreknowledge of the plot to cling to life in this book and struggle to survive.
Year after year, she broke down and pulled herself back together, gradually growing into the tyrant from the story. Every gesture and movement seemed to come naturally to her.
It was like waking from a dream. She had almost forgotten her past life and the world she came from.
Going home seemed like little more than an obsession. She simply couldn't bear to follow the plot and die in this book.
Until one day, she happened to meet Jiang Yuan in the imperial gardens.
Jiang Yuan had a blade of grass between her teeth. She lounged on the pavilion railing with her legs crossed, lazily humming a popular song from the internet.
In this strange world, she suddenly saw the one lifeline that remained, dangling before her and swaying gently.
