In an underdog-reversal story, the heroine starts out as a useless nobody in her family, scorned and mocked by everyone. Later, she gains all sorts of impressive identities and becomes a wildly powerful big shot. The female supporting character starts out as an aloof beauty whose talents and abilities rival the male lead's. But later, the heroine outshines her at every turn, and she dies a tragic death!
Faced with her fate of dying miserably, Ye Luo says, "I'll just follow the plot. The sooner I die, the sooner I'm free." But then:
Why won't you all stick to the plot?
(I like everyone-falls-for-her stories, where everyone loves the heroine, no matter their gender.)
