Nodding off on the train back home while reading a classic underdog palace intrigue web novel, Wang Cuihua found herself transmigrated-- assuming the role of Yu Wanyin, the favored concubine to the tyrannical emperor and enemy of the protagonist. Who just so happened to be due to serve His Majesty that very night.
But upon meeting the supposed tyrant...something didn't seem right. Call it a web novel reader's intuition, but she decided to take the risk, betting on the chance that Yu Wanyin wasn't alone in overcoming her fate.
"How are you?" She blurted out in English.
The rims of Xiahou Dan's eyes reddened, and he fell silent.
At length, he replied, also in English, "I'm fine, and you?"
To reverse their fate as villains, Yu Wanyin (former corporate slave) and Xiaohou Dan (former CEO) join forces while the female protagonist (who has time-travelled back with all the knowledge of her pervious timeline) ignores their offer to just play cards and eat hotpot together peacefully. Ahh, why can't we all just get along?
