Longing for You in a Winding Mortal World

[Strong heroine + alternate world + reborn + transmigrate into a book + selfcest + System + Xiangliu + political scheming (romance takes a back seat) + heroine's growth] “Life is a wager. Until life and death are decided, neither victory nor defeat is certain.” Since she was destined from birth to live an extraordinary life, Weizhao wanted to see how far she could go in this land. She had yearned, hoped, suffered, doubted, and despaired. After all hope was extinguished, she no longer had anything to fear. She had always had nothing. What was there to be afraid of losing? If they wanted to use her to play this grand game, then she would play along to the very end! Though the road is lined with thorns, she is unafraid. The victor is still unknown. Weizhao would see the game through with them, with neither victory nor defeat decided, and life and death at stake! (The heroine has no true feelings, and the romance isn't very sweet, so please don't read if that bothers you! Including Xiangliu was a personal indulgence of mine. His life is so tragic, and I wanted to give him a better ending in this book.)
