The Daily Survival of a Fake Undercover Female Lead

Synopsis: Lu Suizhu witnessed the Crown Prince commit murder, and from then on, disasters plagued her.

First Calamity:

To escape the impending doom, she took advantage of the capital's renowned Young Lord Pei Zhiji. Unexpectedly, her clever scheme backfired—the straight-laced Crown Prince believed that Pei Zhiji escorting her home meant he liked her, and forcibly sent her into the Pei manor as an undercover agent.

Second Calamity:

She was caught stealing secrets. Pei Zhiji pressed her against the desk, leaning in to trap her: "What did the Eastern Palace promise you? I'll double it." Because of this sentence, she was forced onto the path of a double agent, navigating precariously between the Crown Prince and Pei Zhiji, enduring days and nights of torment.

Third Calamity:

The moment an arrow pierced the air, she unhesitatingly shielded the cold-hearted Young Lord Pei. Blood soaked her clothes, and she suddenly lost her mind, wanting to retaliate for his months of arrogance and indifference. With blood-stained hands, she painstakingly caressed his flawless, jade-like profile, utterly affectionate: "So... Lord Pei also calls my name. Suizhu has no regrets in this life."

It wasn't until the woman in his arms collapsed that a rare look of shock and bewilderment, almost a loss of composure, appeared on Pei Zhiji's handsome, indifferent face.

Fourth Calamity... truly unexpected:

Lu Suizhu finally achieved freedom through faking her death. Yet, alas, fate was cruel. Amidst the misty rain of Jiangnan, she encountered Pei Zhiji again. Still resentful of her past deceptions, he pinned her against a pavilion pillar, a sneer curling his lips: "Perhaps Miss Lu's dying words should be re...written?"

From Pei Zhiji's perspective:

In the days following Lu Suizhu's death, he pondered daily, suffered sleepless nights, his dreams filled with her unwilling devotion and reluctant farewells.

The tear stains at the corners of her eyes, the warmth of her fingertips—all reminded him that a woman had foolishly sacrificed her life for him.

He completely fell into self-doubt and torment, even branding himself as the rarest and most shameless type of man in the world—a heartless cad.

Just as he was consumed by pain and turmoil, Lu Suizhu reappeared in the Jielu Pavilion, simply saying: "I'm sorry."
