The Villainous Prince Is Not to Be Trifled With

[Transmigrate into a book + Reborn X Intricate power struggles X Constant comedy]

After transmigrating into a book, Jiang Wanzhi became the high-born daughter of the Chancellor's household. According to the original novel, she would marry the main villain, Zongzheng Hengyu, and eventually die at his hands as a cannon-fodder character!

But after she transmigrated into the book, every paper character's fate changed beyond recognition!

She complained bitterly about being toyed with by fate: "Aah! How did I end up in this awful book? If I had to transmigrate, why did I have to be cannon fodder? And if I'm cannon fodder, why has the plot gone completely off the rails?!"

"Why is it so hard to be a lazy fish who just lies flat?!"

"Am I really doomed to wait until the plot crushes me to dust?!"

"No! I have to... defy fate and change my life!"

By chance, she uncovered a shocking secret! The male lead of the original novel, Zongzheng Zhaoran, the Prince of Zhao... was reborn!!!

No wonder the plot had gone so far off the rails that even the author wouldn't recognize it!

Prince Zhao: "Jiang Wanzhi, it wasn't your arrival that changed everything. This world had already collapsed and been remade the moment I was reborn."

Prince Zhao: "The 'plot' you talk about was my previous life, but it has ended. In this life, everyone's fate will naturally be reshuffled and begin anew."

One had the script in her hands, was panicking, and only wanted to defy fate and change her life!

The other had returned reborn, a scheming avenger carrying the memories of his previous life!

Since they were both "the same kind," seeing a fellow countryman made their eyes brim with tears!

Jiang Wanzhi secretly giggled. Happiness had come so suddenly! Now she had the male lead to huddle with for warmth. Her life was truly, truly on easy mode!

But at some point, Zongzheng Hengyu, the main villain, began to occupy her heart, little by little...

Jiang Wanzhi: "I know the plot... but the plot never said that the heart... could really hurt."

Prince Zhao: "Wanzhi, I only want to ask you one thing. Setting aside that imperial edict and every outside influence, is there... a place for me in your heart?"

Was there? There was.

One was the male lead as written in the book, Zongzheng Zhaoran.

The other was the main villain as written in the book, Zongzheng Hengyu.

How was she supposed to choose?

(This is a historical political-strategy novel. The real power struggles begin with Chapter 13, "Blood Stains Lin'an City"! We recommend not skipping chapters after Chapter 13, or you may have trouble following along. From Chapter 13 onward, the schemes get more intricate, there are many clues, and the plot keeps twisting and turning!)

(Before Chapter 13, the heroine has only just transmigrated into the book's world. Her words, actions, and inner thoughts are silly and comedic. At first, she is just a lazy fish who wants to lie flat. The pacing is light, with jokes throughout.)
