She transmigrated into a book.

The good news: She has a system with amazing rewards for completing tasks.

The bad news: It’s a prank system. What emperor wants to get jabbed with needles? What minister would willingly cross-dress? Which prince would ever agree to roll in the mud?

The worst news: She transmigrated into the role of bait for assassinating the tyrant, starting right in the middle of the assassination scene.

In her fury, Yuan Ruan lost her temper.

But what can a baby do? Lie down and accept it? Maybe she’ll get an early ticket to the underworld.

Yuan Ruan: Sigh, just one more cup of tea, and I’ll be thrown out as bait for the assassination. Life’s exhausting.

Unexpectedly, the emperor actually escaped the inevitable death. The accompanying general heroically saves her, presenting her as a gift to the emperor.

Yuan Ruan:

Wow, what a good person! I’ll never mock you as a cuckolded tyrant again.

Wait… Hold on tight! The tyr—um, His Majesty almost dropped me!

….

His Majesty adores his newly recognized little princess so much that he even brings her to court from time to time.

Initially, the ministers grumbled.

Until they overheard Yuan Ruan’s inner thoughts:

“Shocking! The Empress Dowager who just returned from worshipping at Wutai Mountain is actually a man!”

Emperor: !!!

The very next day, the Empress Dowager was exiled overnight by an enraged emperor, complete with the full “family annihilation” package.

“Unbelievable! A Chen Kingdom spy disguised as a cousin is hiding in the Minister of Works’ residence.”

Minister of Works: …

That same day, the minister’s mansion was surrounded by soldiers.

“The national treasury is empty? The system has a map of silver mines! Too bad I need the Minister of Revenue to cross-dress and attend court to unlock the reward.”

Minister of Revenue: …

That night, he was kidnapped by two ministers who were short of money. The next morning, the Minister of Revenue reluctantly appeared at court in women’s attire for an entire day.
