Every tragic-romance heroine has a fiercely loyal little maid by her side, ready to take a blade for her, take the blame, and die without hesitation.
In the end, the male lead even uses her as leverage to torment the heroine, cutting out her tongue and forcing her to swallow a poison that makes her suffer unbearable agony. She dies a gruesome death.
Fu Yingying happens to transmigrate into the story as exactly this kind of little maid.
The pure, gentle heroine; the wickedly charismatic, domineering prince; the gentle and devoted second male lead; the immortal-like physician, the third male lead; and the loyal childhood friend who silently protects her...
Amid all these torturous romances of tangled love and hate, where she loves him, he loves her, and she loves someone else, Fu Yingying says she is ready with her melon seeds and peanuts, sitting on a little stool to watch the show.
A satisfying, feel-good story, no angst.
