Because of her long commute from home to work, Wang Cuihua spends her time reading web novels. She reads so many of them that after two years, she is able to guess where the plot is going to lead just by reading the first lines.

One day, she starts a new work where the heroine transmigrates in a novel but it quickly bores her. However, while trying to leave the page, she finds herself sucked into her cell phone. She then wakes up in the novel as the concubine Yu Wanyin, one of the antagonists of the story.

In order to survive, Yu Wanyin plans to join forces with Xia Houdan to assassinate Emperor Duan Wang, and then to kill Xia Houdan in turn in order to become empress herself.

However, her plan quickly falls apart when she discovers that the current Xia Houdan is also not from this world!

Genres: Action , Adventure , Drama , Fantasy , Supernatural

This is the story of a guy who transmigrates into the scum villain of one of those harem xuanhuan/xianxia novels. The scum villain, Shen Qingqiu, is one of those looks-noble-but-is-actually-a-hypocrite type. Shen Qingqiu’s disciple, Luo Binghe, is the main character of the novel who gradually turns darker as tragic events occur upon him.

With the help of a very troll system, the new Shen Qingqiu tries to stay alive by staying on Luo Binghe’s good side, as the original Shen Qingqiu treated Luo Binghe badly, thus receiving a horrifying ending. However, Shen Qingqiu's plan of staying alive is not as simple as it seems as he soon finds out that the system limits his actions.
