The Favored Noble Consort Plays by Her Own Rules

[1v1 + adored by everyone + sweet romance + satisfying palace intrigue] Hua Mianmian never imagined that one day she would be bullied to death by a beautiful zombie. When she woke up again, she had become the vicious supporting female character in a book, doomed to die a gruesome death at the end. The villainess was so hopelessly stupid. Instead of clinging to the powerful men who were right there for the taking, she kept trying to make herself noticed by the male lead. So Hua Mianmian latched onto her father, who held the imperial court in the palm of his hand, and leaned on her talented brothers. From then on, she rose to the peak of her life. The formidable villain: “Mian’er, you’re still one step away from the summit.” Hua Mianmian: “???” The formidable villain: “Conquer me!” Hua Mianmian: “!!!” Sorry, she has no interest in a face that looks just like the beautiful zombie who bullied her to death. [Bonus Scene] Word around the realm was that the Emperor doted on his Noble Consort with all his heart, loving her so much he would lay himself in the dust for her. Hua Mianmian scoffed: “Just playing a part.” The people cursed the Noble Consort for being ungrateful and spoiled by the Emperor’s favor, saying she deserved to be banished to the cold palace. The Emperor paid them no heed. He spent every night at Hua Ying Palace, his unfathomable eyes always fixed on her, leaving her nowhere to run. Hua Mianmian pressed a hand against the Emperor’s chest and said cautiously, “Your Majesty, I think I should remind you that we’re taking this act a little too far.” Looking at the lovely woman before him, the Emperor replied hoarsely, full of tender affection, “Mian’er, what a shame it would be not to take such a fine performance all the way.”
