After Reborn as the Heroine of a Tragic Romance, I Ascended the Throne

[Sweet-faced, ruthless chancellor’s daughter × ambitious hostage prince from a neighboring kingdom]

A perennial Top 1 in an infinite game, Gui Shang has always been a nightmare that other players try to avoid.

Even Gui Shang herself never expected that one day she would transmigrate into a book.

And not just any book. She’s landed in a tragic romance that runs for five hundred chapters, with the heroine suffering through four hundred and ninety-nine of them!

Gui Shang: ?

Who are you trying to insult here??

Everyone in the capital knows that the legitimate daughter of the chancellor’s family is as beautiful as a goddess descended from heaven.

She treats the household servants kindly, helps poor families, and is the first to donate money and grain whenever disaster strikes...

Everyone praises her, and the wives of officials consider her the perfect daughter-in-law!

But only the young man in the hostage residence knows the ambition behind the supposedly kindhearted young lady, who is said to be as benevolent as a goddess.

Quietly rolling the Buddhist beads around his wrist, he wears an amused, cold expression in his unusual eyes.

He thinks:

Perhaps this dull, monotonous world is finally about to gain a different color!

Reader’s guide:

1. Both leads are unhinged, and they love and fight each other. Their moral boundaries are pretty flimsy, so proceed with caution!

2. The logic is as consistent as possible, but at heart this is still a light, wish-fulfillment novel.

3. Set in an alternate historical world. Don’t overthink it.

4. The heroine transmigrates into a book; the hero is reborn multiple times and awakens to his role.

Theme: Women can ride into battle and wield weapons just as well as men. They have never been any less capable!
