Written Off to Die, I Chose the Villain

Only after Xie Mingtang died did she learn that she had been living inside a book.

In the book, Shen Huaishuo put down a rebellion, Gu Wanqing stood by his side, and Prince Jing, Xiao Chengyin, was executed for treason.

But after sixteen years of life, all she got was three lines.

[The Grand Tutor's youngest daughter, Xie, was abducted by Prince Jing.]

[After returning home, she suffered a loss of reason.]

[She took her own life not long afterward.]

The night she spent waiting, her parents' tears, the reason she ended up beneath that white silk sash...

No one cared.

Even her death was nothing more than a footnote in someone else's love and hatred.

When she opened her eyes again, Xie Mingtang was back on the night she had been abducted.

This time, she didn't wait for the person who was supposed to come save her.

She raised her head and looked at the Prince Jing who was fated to be defeated and die in the book.

"Your Highness, let's make a deal."

At first, she only wanted to change her own ending.

But as the plot that had already been written began to fail, she realized...

She wasn't the only one in this book whose fate had been decided.

Some were trapped by the positions they were born into. Some loved each other but couldn't choose one another. Some were written as villains, while others never even got to leave their names behind.

But why should a person's whole life be reduced to one line in someone else's story?

This time, she would choose her life all over again.
