[You stole someone else’s life? Then I’ll just have to play the villain.]
Lin Lan, a modern-day office worker, stayed up late complaining about how illogical The Story of Ruyi was. When she woke up, she had transmigrated into the role of a palace maid who was punished to death by kneeling in Yuanming Garden early in the story.
The scary part wasn’t the harem’s open and secret struggles. It was that every man in this world would inexplicably fall in love with Ruyi, while every woman either became her mindless tool or was reduced to a wicked supporting character.
System: Ruyi stole Fucha Langhua’s “true love” persona, Gao Xiyue’s childhood sweetheart persona, and even the name of Ling Fei. Now the world’s storyline is collapsing. Your mission is to tear down her Ruyi Syndrome halo!
Lin Lan: I’m not doing it. This is a bug in your Time Administration Bureau. What does it have to do with me?
System: Complete the mission, and we’ll send you home and compensate you with a million!
Lin Lan (rolling up her sleeves): I’m in! Let’s cure that Ruyi Syndrome! The money doesn’t matter. I mainly want to teach this thief a lesson!
And so
When Ruyi recites “On the Wall, a Gallant Steed” to flirt with Hongli, Lin Lan whips out “The Silver Vase at the Bottom of the Well” and explains: “You dare to keep reciting an elopement poem as if it were a love poem?”
When Ruyi plays the victim in the Imperial Palace Punishment Bureau, Lin Lan smiles and offers her a knife. “Turn in the palace maid who once cared for you, and you can make a comeback.”
When Ruyi finally enters the prince’s residence as a secondary consort, Lin Lan tells Langhua, “The safest place for the Lingling Fragrance is inside your nail guards. After all, some people won’t even take them off to sleep.”
At last, Hongli gradually comes to his senses. “Why is it that whenever I touch you, Ruyi seems like a joke?”
Lin Lan smiles. “Because Your Majesty has Ruyi Syndrome, and I’m your cure.”
