I was watching The Journey of Flower, right as the heroine sacrificed herself to the curse, her soul shattered, and Bai Zihua held her corpse, heartbroken and consumed with regret. I slammed the table and shouted, "You only regret it after she's gone? What were you doing before?"
Before I could finish, Hua Qiangu, who should have been dead on the screen, suddenly opened her eyes and said coldly, "If you can do better, then you do it." The world spun around me. When I opened my eyes again, I was in a shabby, drafty thatched hut, with my father who had just breathed his last beside me. Outside stood Bai Zihua, dressed in white as pure as snow and using the alias Mo Bing. I'd actually transmigrated into Hua Qiangu at the very start of the story, just as her family was being destroyed.
Armed with an all-knowing view of the entire plot and the bloodline of a true descendant of Nuwa, I am far beyond the abilities of the so-called immortal of Changliu. This time, I will never repeat the original story's path: loving humbly, suffering countless injuries, and ultimately dying with my soul scattered.
I won't touch the Duannian Sword or the waters of the Pool of Heartlessness, and I won't be trapped by Bai Zihua's lofty ideals of saving all living beings. I will protect Dongfang Yuqing, who schemed at every turn but met an unhappy end; save Sha Qianmo, who fiercely protected those he loved but was left disfigured; and rewrite the tragedy of his younger sister, Liu Xia, who died young. I will keep my sweet little Tang Bao safe and make sure she doesn't die a horrible death, and I won't give Shi Yi any chance to get close to her. I'll bring the loving Meng Xuanlang and Qing Shui together so that obsession doesn't ruin their happy ending. Even Shuo Feng and Ni Mantian will get a future they can choose for themselves.
As for Bai Zihua and Mo Yan? They can keep their principles and their concern for all living beings to themselves. This time, in the name of a god, I will live for myself and the people I care about, rewriting every regret from the original story into a happy ending.
