Su Wan had died once.
Poisoned with arsenic, abandoned in the cold palace, treated like trash by the man she had loved all her life. When she opened her eyes again, she had returned to three years earlier, but dense lines of text were floating before her eyes:
[The vicious supporting female character is here]
[Fast-forward to the kidney harvesting]
[I know this plot]
She froze for a moment, then smiled.
So this world was a story, and she was a paper-thin character destined for a tragic death. Those lines were the readers' curses and expectations. Even better, she discovered she could trade those emotions for anything: medical skills, martial arts, even the power to rewrite the plot.
From then on, she exposed the emperor's schemes in the Imperial Garden, teamed up with the true heiress to set a trap at her coming-of-age ceremony, and treated His Highness, so high above everyone else, as a tool for farming points deep within the palace walls. Xiao Jin thought she was competing for his favor, but she was really fighting for her life. The readers thought she was trying to redeem herself, but she was wicked without a hint of shame.
"You think I love you?" she said with a soft laugh to the emperor who had gone mad over her. "I love freedom."
When the author personally stepped in to force the story to its ending, and "the grand finale" meant the erasure of every awakened character, Su Wan took another villainess by the hand and borrowed the power of millions of readers' wishes.
This time, the story is mine to write.
[Highlights] A villainess who refuses redemption, a battle between two female leads, live-streamed comments, and a delightfully unconventional power fantasy. Watch a paper-thin character defy fate with readers' complaints, turn a tragic romance into a power fantasy, and knock the author off their throne.
