A Socially Anxious Person in Ancient Times

1. Li Mu, a socially anxious shut-in from the modern world and a nationally protected level-one "useless person," transmigrated into an ancient romance novel. Within three seconds, she decided to become a complete recluse, feign madness, and play dumb—surviving day by day as best she could. But as time went on, the plot of the novel began to shift in strange ways. The villain turned into a ray of sunshine, the female lead got involved in political intrigue at court, and the male lead's ambition changed from seizing the throne to exploring overseas…

Li Mu: "...I swear, I didn’t do anything."

2. Everyone knew the fifth daughter of Minister Li was a fool. People said the Li family was kind-hearted for neither locking the little fool away in the courtyard nor sending her to a remote estate to fend for herself. Later, a royal decree suddenly declared the Li family's fifth daughter to be the future Princess Consort of the Regent Prince. From then on, no one dared publicly gossip about her. They only laughed in private: “A madman paired with a fool—what a perfect match.”

Later still, the Regent Prince stopped acting so outrageously and terrifyingly. Only then did the public realize something had changed. They began praying the Princess Consort would live a long life—at least longer than the Regent Prince’s.

Li Mu: "Why do I feel like people see me as the leash keeping a rabid dog tied down?"

Regent Prince: "Then my dear consort had better hold me tight. Don’t let me loose to go bite people."
