[Strong Heroine + Multiple Male Leads + Male Rivals Competing + Love Triangle Showdowns + Rebirth + Defying Fate]
Gao Xing was reborn ten years in the past.
At twelve, she learned that she was nothing but the villainess in a Mary Sue novel.
Her fiancé would be stolen away by a sweet, innocent girl. Her childhood friend would stab her in the back for his true love. And beneath her brother's tenderness lurked hatred.
Her ending was a gruesome death.
In this life, she spent ten years turning her fiancé into a loyal dog, making her childhood friend suffer from an unrequited love, and getting her “brother,” who had a blood feud with the Gao family, to sheath his claws for her...
She did all of this for one reason: when the wheels of the story began turning again, she would challenge the force of the plot and fight to see who came out on top!
This time, she would never again be manipulated by the force of the plot. She would be the one moving the pieces, and the darlings of the plot would all become her pawns!
This time, she would never lose again!
Note:
✔ The heroine has romantic tension with multiple male leads, but ends up alone.
✔ Depending on how things go, there may be separate bonus chapters exploring alternate endings with different male leads.
✔ A strong heroine with absolute control, and a complex personality. If you can't accept a heroine with a dark side, this story may not be for you.
✔ The heroine won't suffer, but the male leads will.
✔ Plenty of showdown scenes and men competing for the heroine, but no women competing for male attention. The heroine's only opponent from beginning to end is the force of the plot controlling this world.
✔ The characters' values are not the author's. Characters are created to serve the story, so please don't apply them to real life. Reasoned discussion is welcome.
