Kapok never imagined that someone as ordinary as her would transmigrate just by taking a nap, let alone into a costume-drama Mary Sue novel. What she least expected was to end up in the heroine's maid's body. She wasn't even a supporting female character, which left Kapok thoroughly disgruntled. After accepting her fate, she planned to use the plot's protection to scrape by until the finale. But then someone secretly attacked her, and when she woke up, she had become the male lead's bride.
First, the original male lead, a general, sneers at her on their wedding night.
Then the peerlessly handsome, charming young master with a jade-like face makes advances with ulterior motives.
And the missing heroine seems to hint at an unspeakable conspiracy behind it all.
Kapok chooses to cling to life, making survival her sole mission. She says whatever people want to hear, whether they're human or ghost.
Vicious mother-in-law: I'm taking concubines for my son.
Kapok: I'll help you arrange it. The more, the merrier.
Male lead: You're not fit to be compared to the heroine.
Kapok: You're absolutely right, my generous benefactor!
While you lot are busy with your schemes, I'll quietly stash away my money, then bow out of the main plot when the time is right and roam free among the handsome men of the martial world.
