There are so many regrets in Scarlet Heart: the Eighth Prince and Ruolan spend their lives missing each other, the Ninth Prince and Yutan's love ends in heartbreak, and even Ruoxi and the Fourteenth Prince's ending becomes a lingering regret for countless readers.
My name is Zhang Xiaowen, an ordinary internet wage slave. I unexpectedly died while changing a lightbulb at three in the morning. When I opened my eyes, I had become Ruoxi, the woman in the book whom everyone adored, but who ultimately met a tragic end.
The good news: I know the plot inside out. The bad news: I've been handed a script where everyone gets a bad ending. Since I'm here, I'll change things. This time, I absolutely won't repeat the old mistakes!
The Eighth Prince is gentle, but his ending is bleak. Pass. The Fourth Prince is cold and unfeeling. Pass. Only the Fourteenth Prince, the arrogant general who's all bark and soft-hearted underneath, and who quietly brings an umbrella on rainy days, catches my eye at once.
When he coughs, I bring him warm pomelo tea. When he gets drunk, I prepare a soothing hangover soup. When he's hungry, I ply him with snowflake pastries and poria cakes. The Fourteenth Prince acts disdainful: “As if I wanted them.” Then he turns around and fills an entire cabinet with the treats I gave him.
Rumors spread throughout the capital, and everyone says the Fourteenth Prince is going to marry Ruoxi. He, however, declares without a hint of shame, “What are you staring at? I won my wife over fair and square. Got a problem with that?”
But the difference between this man before and after marriage is too much. Before the wedding, he complains that I'm annoying: “Get away from me, you crazy woman.” After the wedding, he's clingy: “Ruoxi, give me a hug.” “Where are the snacks?” “You still haven't told me I'm handsome.”
What happened to the aloof general? Can I still return him?
A wage slave transmigrates into Ruoxi, wins over the prickly Fourteenth Prince by feeding him, and casually rewrites a bad ending into a happy one in this sweet romance.
The Eighth Prince and Ruolan, and the Ninth Prince and Yutan, will also get their happy endings.
