The first time she introduced herself like this to the emperor, she saw the most beautiful smile on his face. Unfortunately, this stone-faced person only smiled once in his life. When watching a TV series, Huachun became infatuated with a prime minister in it, thinking he was handsome and domineering. However, after crossing over, she found out that the prime minister was actually a woman, and she was incompatible with the emperor. Huachun, a young and beautiful girl in her twenties, coincidentally found herself dressed as a boy, standing beside the young emperor, becoming a righteous and loyal minister. When there were assassins, she would defend him, and when there was rebellion, she would suppress it for him. But for some reason, the emperor tried every means to kill her. How could an outstanding successor of communism in the 21st century be easily killed? She had the ability to face any challenge with the military or the law. She refused to believe that she couldn't handle this rigid feudal emperor. However, can anyone tell her why she was sentenced to death by this man's own hands, just because she had feelings for him? Yuwen Jie, look into my eyes, are you really willing to let me go?

This is a story of a supporting character slowly transforming into the main character. A cliché beginning, where the husband of many years sparks a 'true love' with his own sister, begging the wife, the older sister, to step aside and give her blessings. A bizarre process unfolds, as the older sister is moved by the true love between her husband and younger sister, and decides to step aside. However, tragedy strikes when the husband gets into a car accident and becomes paralyzed, while the younger sister ends up in a mental asylum. An unexpected ending awaits, as the older sister, who should have taken a bow and left the stage, ends up inheriting all the wealth and suddenly finds herself transported to another world. Inhabiting the body of a supporting character who craves prosperity, she realizes that no one can choose their birth mother, but they can choose their life path. She faces adversity fearlessly, knowing that her fate is in her hands. Embracing a secluded life, selecting a husband, and refusing to be taken advantage of in this life, she becomes the "vicious" supporting character who fears no one. "Hey, hey, older sister, you go your own way in the sunshine, and I'll cross my wooden bridge without any disturbance, okay?" "Hey, hey, older sister, did I toss your child into a well in my previous life?" This story takes place in an imaginary world and marks the author's first attempt at writing in such a setting. Your support is greatly appreciated. Special thanks to Gu Xiao for creating the cover, I really love it.
