This Is Ridiculous

by Qi Ying Jun

Wang Cuihua, an ordinary corporate slave, was on her way home when she suddenly transmigrated into a web novel. There, she became Yu Wanyin, a tyrant’s concubine. As it turned out, it was Concubine Yu’s turn to serve His Majesty in bed that night.

Upon meeting the tyrant, his words and mannerisms gave Yu Wanyin a curious sense of déjà vu. After careful contemplation, she decided to sound him out.

“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?”

i wish this had gone the bad ending route to really round out the trope subversion 🎭 the plot twist actually had me gasping though

I picked this book because of the donghua, but this is such a gem! The main characters shine through their difficulties and made you think that you couldn't blame them for how they turned out to be. Some plot armor is there for the female lead but I'd say, this is a very good "short" story (some chapters are sooooo long that in normal jjwxc story, that would be at least 3 split chapters...)

It has HE and two extras chapters about side characters. I'd recommend watching the anime/donghua first if you're trying out, it's quite faithful to the novel.
