Chapter 1: What Are You Doing?

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

In the inner room, Chi Yang, who had woken up long ago, was lying in a daze as she stared at the green canopy above the bed. She regretted staying up late to read a novel yesterday.

She had stayed up late last night to finish reading the novel called “After Becoming the Crown Princess Consort, I Was Spoiled by the New Emperor”. The chapters within the novel had all kinds of face-slapping tricks, and there was a hint of taboo in its dullness. Once it was published, it swept through the major rankings of female channels.

The novel had more than a million words, and Chi Yang was reading it with great interest. She did not miss a single chapter; she read it from morning until her eyelids started twitching.

In the end, she didn’t know when she fell asleep. When she woke up, she found that she had experienced the legendary transmigration and even dressed as the wife of the male protagonist in the book.

Or to be precise, she was the ex-wife of the male protagonist in the novel.

There was not much description of this wife character in the novel. She only appeared in a few chapters.

The original character was also named Chi Yang and had a noble status. Her father was the prime minister of the current dynasty and her mother was the eldest princess.

When the host was young, her facial features were exquisite and she was as beautiful as a fairy. She was very loved by her family. At the age of five, she went missing due to her playful nature. The Eldest Princess was heartbroken. Prime Minister Chi could only find a fatherless and motherless girl of similar age and pretended that she was their biological daughter.

This girl was the female lead, Chi Yao.

Due to a strange combination of factors, the original owner of the body, who was called Chen Yaxiang, was forced to enter the Chi Manor as a slave at the age of fifteen. That clean-washed face that resembled the Eldest Princess attracted everyone’s attention.

The old incident from ten years ago was brought up again.

Just like that, the vulgar and ignorant Chen Yaxiang became the daughter of the prime minister. The noble daughter that everyone in Jingdou envied became the adopted daughter of the Chi Household.

Even without reading novels, one would know that an idiot like her was used to slap the face of an all-rounded fake daughter. In the first few chapters of the book, when the real daughter returned, Chi Yang felt that Chi Yao had stolen everything from her, so she had to compete with Chi Yao in every way and kept making things difficult for the female lead.

Of course, all of this was resolved by the female lead. As for Chi Yang, she was known as a vulgar, ignorant, and mean person. She was also tricked into marrying the male protagonist, Shen Juan, who was still a “poor scholar”. After Shen Juan regained his identity and became the king of Yanzhou, the original side character was sent to the afterlife by a bowl of poison.

When Chi Yang thought of this, her entire being turned sour.

At this moment, a hand suddenly appeared in her line of sight.

That hand was as fair as jade, and its joints were distinct. It was like a beautiful piece of art. When she lowered her gaze, she could even see the slightly protruding light blue blood vessels under the thin skin.

There was no doubt that this was a pair of man’s hands.

Then, the problem came.

Why was there a man in her bed?!

In that instant, she thought of the novel’s plot.

In the novel, Chi Yang bumped into Cui Jingshuo, the heir of a noble family whom she had liked for a long time, in the courtyard. Cui Jingshuo expressed his feelings to Chi Yao which ignited the servant girl’s jealousy. In a fit of anger, she blamed all this on Chi Yao. She found a random stranger at the banquet and lured the man and Chi Yao into a room. She lit the love incense and took everyone to catch the adulterer.

However, the female lead was not so easily framed. The moment she entered the room, she covered her lips with a handkerchief and extinguished the love incense. After that, she even instructed her personal servant girl to secretly put the Bewitching Fragrance into Chi Yang’s room, wanting to see Chi Yang suffer the consequences of her own actions.

However, she did not expect that there was someone in Chi Yang’s room, and it was Shen Jue, who had disguised himself to chase after the culprit.

Thus, Chi Yang and Shen Juan lay on the same bed.

Can the plot slow down a little?

Chi Yang shook her head and looked at the incense burner that was still burning, thinking about how to solve the current problem.

Just as she was about to get off the bed, a hand with distinct joints pulled her back.

“Are you awake?” The man’s voice came from above her.

His voice was cold and carried a hint of jade.

Chi Yang shook her dizzy head with great difficulty, then said softly, “Yes.”

Even in the dim light, Chi Yang could see that the person in front of her was an extremely handsome man.

Thinking about it, it made sense. Which novel had an ugly male lead?

As soon as she finished speaking, Chi Yang felt Shen Juan tugging at her belt.

Chi Yang’s hair stood on end. She hurriedly tugged at her loose clothes. “What are you doing?!”

After Chi Yang confirmed that she had fastened her belt, she looked at Shen Juan and said word by word, “If you want to talk, then talk. Why did you hit me?”

“There’s love incense in this room.” Shen Juan said coldly as he glanced at Chi Yang.

This bewitching fragrance was colorless and odorless. Even he did not notice it at the first moment. By the time he realized it, it was already too late. He could only wait for the woman on the bed to wake up and detoxify him. If this woman didn’t know about the Love Incense, she wouldn’t have looked at the incense burner the moment she woke up.

So… She definitely knew, but why was she acting so bashful now?

Shen Juan looked at Chi Yang, who was blinking blankly, and the corners of his lips curled up. There seemed to be a hint of a smile in his cold eyes.

This matter had suddenly become interesting.
