[All-Out Male Rivalry + A Love Polygon + The Supporting Villainess Strikes Back]
After transmigrating into a book, Lin Ruolan had an epiphany:
Rather than die miserably as a stepping stone for the original heroine, she might as well steal her opportunities, ruin her romantic prospects, and drain her heroine's luck!
She opened the strategy guide she'd made herself and began her comeback:
Feng Zheng: A muscle-brained, bluntly honest type who gets a nosebleed if you just crook your finger at him.
Gu Lingfeng: He can dream about how the story ends. He tries desperately to save you but always makes things worse. You bluff him, saying, “Knowledge changes your destiny.” He turns around and becomes Chief Councillor.
Xiao Jinheng: A sinister, possessive yandere. Working together benefits you both, but be careful: he might climb into your bed in the middle of the night. “Love me, or we die together.”
Xiao Jinyu: A narcissist. Tell him, “You're amazing, you're incredible,” and he'll even split the imperial throne with you.
Xiao Jinyuan: Tell him, “You'll never measure up to your imperial brother,” and he'll immediately empty the imperial treasury and give it all to you.
Xie Qingyan: A lofty, untouchable beauty? Recite two poems by Li Bai and Du Fu, and he'll burn the love poems he wrote for the heroine right in front of you!
Du Shian: The original heroine's mad, devoted loyal dog. You can torment him a thousand times over, and he'll still kneel and offer you his life. “Master, I was born to be your dog.”
Huang Yunchu: A narcissist obsessed with looks. You pretend to be his junior fellow disciple, and he gazes at your face with a smile. “You really are the little junior sister I've spoiled rotten.”
The original heroine breaks down: “They were all supposed to be my men!”
Lin Ruolan smiles faintly. “They begged me to steal them~”
Later, when all the male leads turn dark and force her to marry them, she pulls out a silver needle and sneers, “Keep pressuring me, and I'll turn every one of you into a eunuch!”
It's so pretty, but sometimes I get confused about who my sister is and what I call her.
