Summary
Jiujiu didn’t expect death to come so suddenly—or so unfairly. One moment she’s alive, the next she’s arguing nonstop with Yama in the underworld. Fed up with her never-ending complaints, Yama decides to shut her up the only way he knows how: by tossing her into the world of a novel.
But she’s not just any character—she’s reborn as a fallen princess, cast away into the dreaded Cold Palace. Her new life is no royal dream. Things go from bad to worse when the story’s main heroine stirs up trouble, pushing the emperor—Jiujiu’s own biological father—into a violent rage.
He’s ready to beat her to death. Seriously.
Furious at the injustice, Jiujiu screams in her heart:
“No wonder the Western Chu Kingdom crumbles in a decade! A cruel ruler who can’t tell right from wrong? It’s a miracle it even survived this long!”
But then something weird happens. The emperor stops. Freezes, actually.
Wait—did he hear that? Can he… hear what she’s thinking?
With her inner voice suddenly no longer private, Jiujiu might’ve just signed her own death sentence… or unknowingly flipped the entire story on its head.
