After Transmigrating into a Novel: The Powerful Minister Begs for Her Favor Every Day

Luo Qingqing is a modern woman who finds herself trapped in a recurring dream about a mysterious man with a red mole on his thigh. After visiting a temple to pray for romance, she is involved in a car accident and transmigrates into the body of a villainous supporting character in a novel titled Begs for Her Favor Every Day. The system informs her that she must raise the male lead, Gu Jing’an, to one hundred percent favorability and help him become a Powerful Minister to escape back to her original world. The original owner of this body had been cruel to Gu Jing’an and his siblings, Xuanning and Gu Qiran, and was destined to suffer a gruesome death at his hands after he rose to power.

Gu Jing’an is a brilliant scholar who has already passed the provincial examination but suffers from a chronic cough caused by cold poison in his body. He is cold and distant toward Luo Qingqing, viewing her as an unwanted burden forced upon him by her stepmother’s schemes. Luo Qingqing decides to change her fate by treating the children with kindness and using her modern knowledge to improve their living conditions. She discovers balloon flowers, a medicinal herb effective for coughs, and begins selling them to generate income. She also saves a wounded man named Shen Huaiyu, who bears a striking resemblance to the man from her dreams, and he leaves her a jade pendant as a token of gratitude.

To secure her financial future and support Gu Jing’an’s upcoming journey to the capital for the metropolitan and palace examinations, Luo Qingqing partners with a failing restaurant owner, Manager Li. She introduces him to hot pot and spicy mixed dishes, which quickly become popular and turn the business around. She also uses her system rewards, including a phone with limited weekly access, to research recipes and home remedies for Gu Jing’an’s cough. Her efforts gradually soften the children’s hearts, and Xuanning and Gu Qiran begin to view her as a mother figure. Gu Jing’an notices these changes and becomes increasingly curious about her sudden transformation.

A key turning point occurs when Li Ping, a village girl who has long pursued Gu Jing’an, confronts Luo Qingqing at night. Luo Qingqing firmly rejects her and asserts her position as Gu Jing’an’s wife. Gu Jing’an supports her, declaring that he is satisfied with their marriage and will not marry anyone else. This moment deepens his feelings for her, and he begins to actively pursue a closer relationship. He confesses his affection, causing her favorability score to rise significantly. Luo Qingqing also confronts Shen Qiyu, her former fiancé who had orchestrated the events that led to her marriage to Gu Jing’an, and publicly rejects him in favor of her husband.

As the story progresses, Gu Jing’an’s favorability continues to increase due to Luo Qingqing’s care and support. He moves from indifference to affection, eventually deciding to keep her by his side rather than divorcing her. Luo Qingqing balances her business ventures with her domestic responsibilities, ensuring the family’s stability while preparing for Gu Jing’an’s political rise. The narrative follows her journey from a desperate survivor to a confident partner, as she navigates the challenges of the ancient world and the complexities of her relationship with Gu Jing’an.

The story highlights the evolving dynamic between Luo Qingqing and Gu Jing’an, shifting from a marriage of convenience to one of mutual respect and love. Luo Qingqing’s modern skills and strategic thinking prove invaluable in both her economic endeavors and her personal relationships. Meanwhile, Gu Jing’an’s gradual opening up allows him to heal from past traumas and embrace a new future. The presence of Shen Huaiyu adds an element of mystery, as his connection to Luo Qingqing’s dreams suggests a deeper link between the two worlds. The narrative sets the stage for Gu Jing’an’s eventual success in the imperial examinations and his rise to power, with Luo Qingqing by his side as his trusted companion.
