[Strong Female Lead + Transmigration + Redemption + Multiple Worlds] She wants to save every one of them, even if she has to cough blood to rewrite their endings
At nineteen, Xi Mengchu discovers a blank notebook in a secondhand bookstore. She casually writes, “Yuan Chun shouldn't have been humiliated,” and is suddenly transmigrated into The Journey of Flower, where she becomes Yuan Chun's companion.
She thinks she's there to complete a mission, but watches the innocent, cheerful Yuan Chun step ever closer to the abyss.
“History can't be changed?” Xi Mengchu wipes the blood from her nose and takes Yuan Chun's trembling hand. “Then I'll change it!”
She helps Yuan Chun escape her torment, transforming from a princess into a healer who tends to the world.
The price is that she starts coughing blood.
The notebook turns another page, and she becomes Ma Zhaixing's cousin.
Amid the chaos of war, she watches Zhaixing torn between the Prince of Bo and Jichong, until they are ultimately separated by death.
“This time, I want you both to live and love each other.”
She uses her life as the price to rewrite one crucial night, helping Zhaixing see where her heart truly lies.
The price is that the blood she coughs up stains her collar red.
In the third world, she becomes Lin Wan'er's half-sister, coughing blood as she plots in the capital.
In the fourth, she is Putao's art teacher, and blood stains the paper as her brush opens a heart.
In the fifth, she and Lin Wan'er become fellow patients, supporting one another through the maelstrom of political intrigue.
In every world, she saves a character played by Li Qin.
In every world, the price she pays grows steeper.
Until the truth appears on the final page of The Book of Qin's Shadow:
“You aren't saving characters, but real women in parallel worlds.”
“Each life you save will take one year from your own.”
“When every world has been rewritten,”
I just finished watching the first Small World and I was really moved. "Visitors from other worlds will eventually go away, leaving spring beauty all over the south of the Yangtze River. Don't ask about the bad or good fortune of the future, but do good deeds and look towards the bright future."
