Wen Ningwan found herself transmigrated into a novel, taking the role of a minor character destined for an early death. She became the Assistant Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, and even more shockingly, she was an Omega.
In this world, Omegas who entered government service were executed without mercy. All she wanted was to stay alive. Yet somehow, she caught the attention of the powerful and mysterious Imperial Preceptor. By sheer luck, she also managed to solve several high-profile cases, gaining admiration from the people.
The common folk praised Assistant Minister Wen for her striking beauty, lively charm, and youthful appearance. Her unusual methods of solving cases fascinated everyone. However, they also gossiped that she was too easily distracted by attractive faces and therefore unlikely to accomplish anything great.
The Imperial Preceptor was cold, reclusive, and held unmatched power. He treated human lives as insignificant and cared only about gaining more power and achieving his goals. No one dared stand in his way.
But the truth was a bit more complicated.
Wen Ningwan was slow to understand emotions and often missed important cues.
The Imperial Preceptor, on the other hand, was extremely possessive but too proud to show it openly.
She was loved without even realizing it, while he became arrogant from giving that love.
Everyone believed the Imperial Preceptor’s wife was the most beautiful woman from an enemy nation. They said he adored her and kept her hidden in luxury. People laughed at Wen Ningwan, saying she was foolish for trying to win his affection, calling her shameless and pitiful for throwing herself at someone so cold.
Furious, Wen Ningwan clenched her teeth and said,
“Fine. Tonight, I’m going to Yipin Pavilion and hire a beautiful courtesan to comfort my broken heart.”
But when the courtesan appeared, Wen Ningwan was so startled that she jumped out of her seat. The Imperial Preceptor stepped forward, pushed her gently onto the table, leaned in close, and whispered,
“My dear wife, what kind of beauty are you looking for tonight?”
Wen Ningwan opened her mouth nervously.
“I think I… mmm…”
