Chu Yao: Transmigrating is a fait accompli, but with a good plan, I can still live a decent life. First, find someone powerful to rely on, then get a job. Thanks to the skills the original owner came with, everything went perfectly according to plan, until Zhang Cheng'an showed up. He didn't just disrupt my plans, he even dragged me into this. How is that reasonable!
Xu Mingyue: My parents are both gone, and my eldest brother left home to join the army. I'll have to rely on myself in the future. So, here's the plan: to become independent, learn a skill first; to make money, start a business; to find a powerful backer, well, that depends on luck. After ten years of hard work, I have skills, money, and a powerful backer. As soon as my eldest brother gives the nod, we'll pack up and retire, and finally enjoy a life of leisure and riches. Hm? My eldest brother suddenly gets promoted and ennobled. Doesn't that mean I'll have to earn even more money? Hm? I've been betrothed to a prince. I'd better find his sweetheart and make my position clear. What? Become empress? You've got to be kidding. I can't handle that!
