Does being transmigrated into the heroine mean you automatically get a protagonist's halo? What do you do when a minor character threatens you? Can an evil second female lead still carry on with her schemes if she stops being evil?
When Xia Zhi transmigrates into the heroine of a household-intrigue novel, she has the legendary protagonist's halo and a clever twenty-first-century mind. She's thrilled. The characters in the book are just paper figures, after all. They can't possibly outsmart her.
Then someone suddenly appears and threatens her.
Ha! How could a mighty heroine ever be threatened?
But the man says, "I've read your script, and I have the power to decide whether you live or die."
Uh-oh. She has been threatened.
A completely insignificant character in the novel has somehow read her script and is using it to threaten her, demanding that she help him become emperor.
What? A minor character actually wants to become emperor? What a ridiculous joke!
But his words, "I'll be your backing, and you'll be my strategist," are undeniably tempting.
She switches sides like a reed in the wind, but the original male lead is handsome and devoted, and very appealing.
She wavers, just a little.
While she's bouncing back and forth, the original novel's evil second female lead starts showing signs of taking the protagonist's place. What's more, this second female lead ignores the household-intrigue plot, does good deeds, and gets involved with the original male lead. And, and she even helps the man who was originally supposed to become emperor.
Wait.
Why does this feel like a redemption arc?
Why does this script feel so familiar and yet so strange? The evil supporting woman has become a good person. It almost seems as if the evil second female lead is the one who truly has an all-knowing perspective.
Could someone have not only read her script, but changed it too?
As the main heroine, she has no protagonist's halo, she's being threatened, and the second female lead could take her place at any moment
It's so good to watch, the story of the fickle heroine and the two sinister kings 😂
