[Both leads are reborn + gives up on redemption + wicked to the bitter end + deliberately provokes him]
(Wicked, scheming legitimate eldest daughter × crafty young Grand Tutor)
In her previous life, Su Yangli was a thoroughly wicked woman. She offended a princess and the beloved white moonlight of the man she loved.
In a fit of anger, she had people drag that woman to a brothel and humiliate her. As a result, Ji Jianxing, the man she loved, found out just after returning from the battlefield.
Ji Jianxing was furious. One formal accusation from him plunged the Su family into dire straits, and the entire family was executed.
After her death, the Grand Tutor, whom she had always hated most, found her body in a mass grave and gave her a proper burial.
Only after the Su family was executed did she learn that the world she lived in was a novel.
She was nothing but a stepping stone for the heroine's beloved white moonlight, a wicked supporting character in the story.
To change her fate, Su Yangli decided to turn over a new leaf and redeem her character, so the Su family would not fall into ruin.
But no matter how patiently she behaved, the Su family's fate remained unchanged. So she began clinging to her strongest ally: the Grand Tutor.
“Grand Tutor, I know I was wrong.”
“What did you do wrong?”
“I... I was wrong not to solve the problem?”
“No. You were wrong not to come to me.”

Later, Su Yangli got married.
In a foreign land, as the wedding procession passed, a man approached with his sword. Blood dripped from its blade. “Ali, this time, your mistake was running too far away.”
