Qianzhi couldn't believe it.
Of all the characters that she could have transmigrated as, it was the villainess?
Not the kind FL who had ended up with the ML.
She wanted to fling herself on the floor and weep.
But that would only attract people.
In the original story, Mei-ling was a beautiful commoner who was promised to the Emperor by her family as a concubine.
Unfortunately for Mei-ling, she was not a first class concubine which meant that women of her ranks rarely even had the chance to be invited into the emperor's chamber.
So she had been malicious, causing mayhem and trying to force the Emperor on herself. Eventually she had attempted to kill the FL but she had been caught and stoned to death.
Thus was her fate.
Qianzhi shivered.
She couldn't let herself succumb to such circumstances.
She turned to the girl who was waiting on her.
She was a commoner and her parents weren't rich but they could manage to afford a girl to attend to her.
From the original story, the servant of Mei-ling was named Li-Na, an innocent girl who the vicious mei-ling had forced to do her bidding.
She turned to her. "Li-na?"
"Yes lady Mei-ling?" The girl answered quickly.
"Where can we find pets?" She asked her.
Li-Na looked at her puzzled.
"Pets?" Li-na said. "Like a monkey?"
"No." Qianzhi shook her head. "I mean yes. A pet like a monkey. Any pet. Where can I buy a pet?"
Li-na looked at her assessing if her lady had hit her head too hard and debated on whether to call the physician.
"What for?" Li-na asked bewildered. "But my Lady. Today is the day you move to the palace! You have been excited for it!"
That was true the supporting FL in the original book had been so happy to go to the palace as the concubine because she was anxious to make the ML fall in love with her.
If only the original supporting FL knew that she would be stoned to death for her future deeds she wouldn't be cen want to go!
"Yes." Qianzhi replied hastily. "But I've grown a sudden interest for a pet. I'll like to buy a little dog."
"What type of dog?" Li-na asked. "But you hate dogs!"
Li-na was scared of her mistress because her mistress was sometimes wicked.
Extremely beautiful but could lash out and punish her or subject her to a beating.
"I loved them secretly." Qianzhi replied. "I want to buy a Shi-tzu."
Qianzhi hoped that Shi-Tzu's were existent in this part of China!
Her reasoning was that maybe if another Shi-Tzu bit her, then she would go back to the real world after all that was how she had gotten here in the first place!
Problem solved! Hahaha!
