Cui Ning dies in an accident while filming and transmigrates as the daughter of the Minister of Revenue in the Great Yan Empire.
Without a phone or internet, and unable to act, Cui Ning is about to lose her mind from the boredom of the era when a voice sounds in her head. Ding! The thespian's golden finger has arrived.
"You may choose one person to enter a restricted romance novel dream."
A restricted romance novel... Is it the kind she thinks it is?
Never mind, never mind. She used to be a tireless workhorse, and her actor's soul is already burning bright. Her options are limited, so she won't be picky about the script.
Dream One:
Crown Prince Xiao Tingyu has been having the same dream over and over. In it, despite his noble status, he is the lowest of the low, a stable boy.
When the young lady stands, he must bend over. When she sits, he must kneel. When she hits and berates him, he must take it.
He has always been the one to beat and bully others. How dare anyone treat him this way? Xiao Tingyu is furious. Xiao Tingyu is humiliated. Xiao Tingyu wants to tear that person limb from limb.
Until one day... He instinctively crouches at the feet of the Minister's daughter, serving as a step for her to mount her horse. Only the shocked cries around him bring him back to his senses.
"Your Highness, what are you doing?"
Xiao Tingyu stiffens. He has forgotten that he is the crown prince now, not a stable boy. But even so, he is the only one who can let Cui Ning step on him to mount her horse.
Dream Two:
General Qin Su of the Pacifying Nation, who has always abhorred the strong bullying the weak, has been having the same dream lately. In the dream, the Minister's daughter is his wife, but he only thinks of another woman. Because of that woman's clumsy schemes, he neglects, wrongs, and punishes his own wife. In bed, he never shows her any tenderness.
When he wakes, he always thinks of her sorrowful yet stubborn eyes.
Until the dream version of himself accidentally causes his wife to miscarry.
That day, the servants at the general's residence secretly see their general burning paper money for half the night, his gaze full of sorrow for some unknown reason.
He keeps sending gold, silver, jewels, deeds to houses, and land deeds to the Minister's residence, but still can't make up for the guilt and tenderness in his heart. When they meet in the garden behind a banquet hall, he repeatedly starts to speak, only to fall silent, his eyes finally turning red.
"The truth is, we once had a child."
Dream Three:
Ning Suxue, the model gentleman from a prestigious family who has always been disciplined and proper, has lately been having the same dream. In it, he lusts after his younger brother's wife.
When she calls him "Elder Brother," Ning Suxue looks at her rosy lips. When she and his brother are sweet and loving, he sees the marks on her neck...
He secretly hides her undergarments, relieving himself as he murmurs her name. He lurks in the shadows, his desire growing without end.
The way to keep the dream from becoming reality is to make her his wife.
Cui Ning has had a great time acting, and plans to spend the rest of her life eating, drinking, and having fun... But aren't these people taking it a little too seriously?
