Flowers of the Spring Morning

Wei Yishang transmigrates into an ancient romance novel, becoming the least significant of its many supporting heroines.

Her main role is to compete alongside a whole assortment of female supporting characters, including a county princess, a minister's daughter, a grand princess, and beautiful heiresses, for the affections of the heartthrob top scholar. She is the first to lose, gets bullied, and is disfigured.

The plot later takes an even stranger turn: a popular male supporting character who loves the heroine can't take it anymore and chooses to castrate himself to preserve his chastity for her.

Wei Yishang's best option now is to stay far away from him, but she unexpectedly gets bound to a System that assigns her the task of winning him over. Marrying him counts as success.

Her vision goes black. Then her eyes dart around as she comes up with a plan and finds the male supporting character. “I'll marry you and live as a widow in all but name. I can help fend off your other admirers.”

With several powerful families closing in, the male supporting character and Wei Yishang agree to three rules before getting married.

First, there will be no consummation.

Second, you mustn't call me “husband” in private.

Third, you're marrying me only to serve as a shield. Don't imagine I'll fall for you.

The mission goes smoothly, and the rewards are generous. Wei Yishang settles into a comfortable life with money and free time, and no husband to bother her.

But later... Ye Mingzhen shakes Wei Yishang by the arm. “Wifey, look at me! Pay attention to me!” “Wifey, you've been married into the family for a long time now. Shouldn't we have a child to show the family?” “Wifey, you're the only one in my heart!”
