After transmigrating into the book she wrote as a female supporting character, Su Wanqing discovers just how much it hurts when the tragedy she put on the page happens to her.
The Su family frames the entire Xie clan on the emperor's orders. Xie Ci, the tragic villain she created herself, is following his predetermined path, step by step, into an abyss of hatred. The only thing she can do is approach him under a false identity and stop him from turning evil. Through court intrigue and martial-world assassins, she and Xie Ci face countless brushes with death side by side. Before long, they fall deeply in love.
But what she doesn't know is that Xie Ci has already awakened.
He knows perfectly well that the Su family acted on the emperor's orders. He also knows he is living inside a book, and that all his misfortunes stem from the unseen “author.” He hates the Su family, but he hates the person holding the pen even more. Whenever they share a tender moment, he whispers in Su Wanqing's ear, “Once I've wiped out the Su family and killed that author, we'll retire to the countryside and live a peaceful life together.”
Su Wanqing wakes in terror night after night.
She doesn't dare tell him that she is a daughter of the Su family. Even less does she dare let him know that the “author” he hates with all his heart is standing right in front of him. Finally, after she lets the truth slip in her sleep, she flees in a panic.
But Xie Ci gazes in the direction where she disappeared, fury and bone-deep possessiveness surging in his eyes.
“I'll tear her limb from limb,” he says.
Then he sets out to win his wife back.
It feels like a potential stock. I like this theme very much. I'm looking forward to it.
