After transmigrating into the book, I replaced the innocent-looking girl and became the Crown Prince

Dingguohou Mansion.

The triennial imperial examination had just ended when the young lady from the Rose Pavilion was burned to ashes.

Everyone in the household knew that the young master was fond of his cousin who was staying at the Marquis's residence and wanted to take her into the household as a concubine.

Now that his beloved has passed away, he is in great pain and even tries to perform the coming-of-age ceremony with her while holding her remains.

If it weren't for Lady Hou threatening to take her life, the two would probably have already entered into a posthumous marriage.

Now everyone in the court knows that Prince Lu's beloved concubine has died.

Overwhelmed with grief, Governor Lu has not attended court for a full month.

He spends his days like a walking corpse, guarding the Rose Pavilion in the backyard, hoping that the beauty can rekindle their past romance.

Wu Weiwei transmigrated into the book at this time.

Because his hometown was hit by an epidemic, and both his parents died from the epidemic, the original owner fled to the capital with his younger brother to seek refuge with relatives.

Little did they know that when they arrived in the capital, their aunt's family had already moved, and their younger brother had just contracted the plague.

In order to pay for her younger brother's medical treatment, she sold herself into the Marquis's household, which allowed her brother to survive.

Because of her honesty, diligence, and stunning beauty, she was chosen by the Lady of the Marquis and promoted to be the personal maid of the young master in the Green Pine Courtyard.

The original owner was certainly aware of Lady Hou's meaning.

The intention was to have her replace the deceased cousin and accompany the prince, but little did she know that on the day the lady sent her to the study to serve, she was almost stabbed through the heart by the prince.

The next day, she was demoted to a lowly maid in the outer courtyard of Qingsong Courtyard, where she was responsible for sweeping and cleaning. She was instantly reduced to her original state.

Qingsong Courtyard.

Wu Weiwei was sweeping the yard half-heartedly, muttering to herself as she did so.

Another maid leaning against the doorway was cracking melon seeds, deliberately throwing the leftover shells onto the spot she had just swept.

"Li Xiangju, pick it up for me!"

The maid glanced at her sideways and said, "You little hussy, why are you being so fierce? Do you think the Marquis's wife would care about you? Let me tell you, you stinking pawn, you're no longer of any use!"

No sooner had she finished speaking than Wu Weiwei's sharp and fierce gaze shot towards her.

Are you going to pick it up or not?

Wu Weiwei exudes confidence and charisma.

"What...what do you want to do..."

Is Wu Weiwei possessed by a ghost? How come she suddenly seems like a completely different person, so incredibly oppressive?

Do I have to say it again?

Wu Weiwei smiled wickedly and walked over, carrying a broom and dustpan.

"What can you do to me if I don't pick it up? In broad daylight, do you expect me to hit you?"

Li Xiangju was intimidated by Wu Weiwei's imposing manner. She saw that Wu Weiwei's face was pale, but she forced herself to meet her gaze.

Hmph! So what if she has a pretty face?

No matter how beautiful she is, she still can't capture the prince's heart.

Both were lowly maids, but Wu Weiwei, who had only recently arrived, was chosen by the Lady of Dingguo Marquis because of her beauty and became the personal maid of the heir apparent.

But to everyone's surprise, she was kicked out of the inner courtyard before she even finished three days. It was also said that when Wu Weiwei was kicked out, she was pale and weak, and no one knew what had happened to her.

Going from being the prince's personal maid to returning to her former status as a lowly servant girl, the contrast is so stark, no wonder her personality changed so drastically...

How could his temperament not change drastically?

Li Xiangju's guess was correct. Although she was not possessed by a ghost, she was a beautiful flight attendant from a modern airline.

Her daily work involved either being at high altitudes or en route to high altitudes. She thought that after this flight, she could land and play kissing games with her new pet puppy.

Unfortunately, the plane encountered an accident during the flight, and her illustrious modern life came to an end.

She felt she hadn't lived enough yet; the little puppy in her rented apartment was waiting for her to come back and pamper her, but there was nothing she could do.

Fortunately, fate gave her a chance to be reborn, allowing her to transmigrate into a book and be reborn.

This was an unfinished serialized novel she read in her spare time, titled "Your Highness, Your Beloved Concubine Has Escaped Again."

That's right, this favored concubine is the female lead in the novel, but she is just a minor cannon fodder character who didn't even survive a single episode at the beginning of the novel.

The courtyard she is currently in belongs to the heir of the Marquis of Dingguo's mansion, and is also the residence of Lu Hanting, the male protagonist of the novel.

The prince in the novel appears handsome and refined on the outside, but is actually a cold, crazy, obsessive, and possessive person on the inside.

Because the female lead provoked him and often used sweet talk and manipulative tactics to win him over, the male lead found it novel and unknowingly fell in love with her.

However, the female protagonist comes from a humble background and is a cousin who lives in the Marquis's mansion after her parents died.

Such a status destined her to never become the mistress of a marquis's mansion.

So at first, the prince only thought of taking her into his household and pampering her, while ostensibly marrying a wife of equal status to manage the household. He believed that such a decision would be a blessing for the female lead and would be the best of both worlds.

Unexpectedly, the female lead doesn't love the male lead at all, and is actually a liar and a hypocrite.

The female lead never considered becoming a concubine. She outwardly complied with him, but secretly planned to escape from him, even resorting to the tactic of feigning death.

If you're going to fake your death and elope with your sweetheart, then elope!

Why didn't she go somewhere else? Instead, she chose the hometown of the male supporting character, waiting for the male lead to realize his mistake and dig her out, and then bring her back to the Marquis's mansion.

According to the plot of the novel, the female protagonist will be found and taken back to the Marquis's mansion in half a month.

Thinking of the original owner of the book's fate—not even surviving a single episode—Wu Weiwei felt a deep sense of sorrow.

Wu Weiwei walked towards Li Xiangju step by step. Just as she was about to reach her, she turned her head and saw a cold and handsome figure walking out of the courtyard.

Suddenly, she knelt down on the ground, a move that left Xiangju completely dumbfounded.

Wu Weiwei cried pitifully: "Xiangju, we are both maids, and I know you always find fault with me."

It was not my intention to be promoted to be the Crown Prince's personal maid. If it weren't for the fact that I have a younger brother who is one year old and I need to support him, I would never have served the Crown Prince.

Today's task of cleaning the yard was assigned by Steward Li, but you have repeatedly made things difficult for me. You...you have gone too far.

My younger brother is sick; he's only five years old.

If I don't finish cleaning today, Aunt Mei will definitely not let me off easily, let alone allow me to leave the mansion to visit.

Please, for our sake as fellow maids, be merciful and don't make things difficult for me, okay?

His words of pleading for mercy were overheard by the young prince as he stepped out of the courtyard.

She cried pitifully, and her aggrieved expression was just like hers.

Lu Hanting's gaze sharpened instantly. He swept his eyes over the maid standing there dumbfounded, his tone icy cold: "Is what she said true?"

The sudden turn of events stunned Xiangju, who was kneeling on the ground. She could only murmur, "Your Highness, I...this isn't..."
