It was only after Xie Mingtang died that he realized that he was living in a book.
In the book, Shen Huaishuo is a young general who loyally defends his country and puts down rebellions. Gu Wanqing is a talented woman who knows him well and stays with him. However, she, the most favored daughter of the Taifu Mansion, is just a few cannon fodder in their story.
She once thought that Shen Huaishuo would protect her throughout her life.
Until she was kidnapped by King Jing Xiao Chenhui.
That night, Shen Huaishuo clearly had a chance to save her, but for the sake of the more important military aircraft and the overall situation of the world, he stopped and turned around.
Later, rumors, ethics and the eyes of the world drove her to a desperate situation step by step. She died by hanging from a beam, and there are only a few lines about her life in the book. Even her death was only used to fulfill the love and hate of others.
When she opened her eyes again, she returned to the night when she was kidnapped.
This time, Xie Mingtang didn't wait for anyone to come to the rescue.
She looked at the villain prince in the original book who was destined to be defeated and died, and told him:
"If the prince kills me today, you will also die in three years.
She knew how he would lose.
He has the power and leverage she lacks most.
Since the book decided that one of them should die and the other should lose—
Then they will work together to overturn the game.
But when the original plot failed step by step, Xie Mingtang discovered that it was never just one person who really killed her.
Regarding imperial power, military power, Qing Dynasty, family status, etiquette and law, everyone said that they had no choice.
Everyone believes that for the sake of the world, one person must be sacrificed.
It's just that in this life, Xie Mingtang no longer wants to be the chosen one.
She wanted to ask it herself——
Why?
