Sister, You Can’t Handle This Mad Prince, Let Me Take Over

Jiang Fei, a modern woman, transmigrates into a novel after a fatal car accident, inhabiting the body of Jiang Rufei, a cannon fodder supporting character known for her beauty and foolishness. The original Jiang Rufei orchestrated a secret rendezvous with Zhao Xingbang, the prime minister’s son, to sabotage her engagement to Wei Sanlang, a man she mistakenly believed she loved. Instead, she becomes a concubine, suffers betrayal, and dies a humiliating death. Upon waking in the compromising situation with Zhao Xingbang, Jiang Fei quickly assesses her perilous position. Recognizing Zhao Xingbang’s rivalry with Wei Sanlang and his fear of Pei Jing, the ruthless and capricious Zhaoning Wang, she fabricates a story that Pei Jing has taken an interest in her. This bluff successfully terrifies Zhao Xingbang, causing him to retreat and abandon his advances, thereby averting the immediate scandal that would have ruined her reputation.

When Jiang Rufei’s third sister, Jiang Rulin, and their mother, Yao Shi, arrive to catch them in the act, Jiang Fei uses her knowledge of the plot and skills from watching palace dramas to turn the tables. She accuses Jiang Rulin of orchestrating the meeting to frame her, exposing the sister’s scheme to steal the marriage to Wei Sanlang. Although Yao Shi displays blatant favoritism toward Jiang Rulin, Jiang Fei manages to protect herself and confine Jiang Rulin as punishment. Following this confrontation, Jiang Fei discovers she is bound to a system tasked with ensuring the original plot proceeds. The mission requires her to marry Wei Sanlang, torment the female lead, and ultimately ensure her entire family is exterminated by Pei Jing. Refusing to accept this fate, Jiang Fei negotiates with the system, agreeing to cooperate in exchange for the chance to live two more years before being returned to her original world.

Determined to survive, Jiang Fei attends a banquet at the Dingyuan Marquis Manor, where she is meant to meet Wei Sanlang. However, she encounters Pei Jing, who is disguised as Wei Sanlang. Jiang Fei, unaware of his true identity, boldly proposes marriage to him, offering unprecedented freedom and a generous dowry to escape her abusive family. Pei Jing, amused by her audacity and noticing her fear of him, agrees to the arrangement. He reveals his true identity only after she asks him to point out the real Pei Jing, creating a tense dynamic where Jiang Fei must navigate her relationship with the man destined to kill her family.

Jiang Fei’s attempts to maintain her cover are complicated by Pei Jing’s unpredictable nature. He toys with her, revealing his violent tendencies and interest in her fear. Meanwhile, Jiang Rulin spreads rumors that Jiang Fei was seen with another man, causing Wei Sanlang to reconsider the engagement. Jiang Fei confronts Pei Jing, who is now openly acting as Wei Sanlang, and demands he honor their agreement. The situation escalates when Pei Jing threatens her with a hidden blade in his fan, revealing his disdain for the martial world and his own unstable psyche. Jiang Fei realizes that her survival depends on outsmarting Pei Jing while fulfilling the system’s grim requirements, setting the stage for a dangerous game of cat and mouse within the treacherous political and social landscape of the capital.
