[Love Triangle Showdown / Satisfying Read / Villainess Turns Her Fate Around]
Yun Xian transmigrated into a novel about a real and a fake heiress, becoming the story's wicked supporting female character.
She was the legitimate daughter of the prime minister, yet her family despised her and forced her to enter the palace in the heroine's place and marry the cruel emperor.
In the book, she was merely a tool for moving the plot along: framing the heroine, seducing the male lead, and poisoning the tyrant, before meeting a miserable end in the Cold Palace.
Yun Xian: Is this ridiculous plot even remotely decent??
*
Rumor had it that Rong Xun was cruel and capricious, and everyone kept their distance from him. His marriage to the prime minister's legitimate daughter was nothing more than a matter of convenience.
He hated the prime minister too much to treat a pawn well, didn't he?
Everyone was waiting to see Yun Xian suffer at the hands of the tyrant.
But years passed, and the emperor doted on his empress beyond measure, while everyone who had waited to laugh at her met a miserable end.
[Scene One]
Before long, the original male lead changed his affections.
The original heroine couldn't accept seeing Rong Xun cherish Yun Xian so deeply.
She knelt on the ground, weeping prettily. "I beg you, Sister, let me enter the palace and serve His Majesty and you."
Before Yun Xian could reply, Rong Xun suddenly appeared. He wrapped an arm around Yun Xian's waist and said coldly to the guards, "Drag this woman out!"
[Scene Two]
On their wedding night, Yun Xian looked at Rong Xun, handsome but clearly not to be crossed, and took the initiative to break the ice. "I know Your Majesty married me because circumstances left you no choice. I dare to propose a deal."
Rong Xun raised an eyebrow. "You're just a pawn. What do you have to bargain with me?"
Yun Xian said, "A pawn must be useful. I can help you root out evil and stabilize your rule."
Rong Xun watched her for a long while, then smiled and agreed.
Later, peace reigned throughout the land.
She gathered up the treasures she'd saved and went to Rong Xun to claim his promise to let her leave the palace.
But Rong Xun tried to wriggle out of it. "It seems I didn't satisfy you last night, Ayun."
Yun Xian said, "I am only a pawn. Your Majesty has gotten what he wanted, so why keep holding on to me?"
Rong Xun's gaze darkened. He knelt by the bed and intertwined his fingers with hers. "Ayun was never a pawn. I can give you anything, but you are the one thing I will never let go."

[Chasing His Wife to the Crematorium / Mutual Pining]
The Prince of Kang's heir was handsome and distinguished, aloof and peerless, the dream man admired by every noble maiden in the capital.
Yan Ning thought so too at first. She felt incredibly fortunate to become his wife. Even after marriage, when he devoted himself to power and never showed her the slightest tenderness, she assumed he simply cared for the world and wasn't one to dwell on romance.
Only when the heir had power firmly in his grasp and joyfully married her half-sister, who looked six-tenths like her, did Yan Ning finally understand.
It wasn't that he didn't know how to love. He simply didn't love her. And she had spent half her life scheming, only to become someone else's substitute.
On the day of their wedding, her heart deadened, she put on plain clothes and leaped from the city tower.
*
When Yan Ning opened her eyes again, she had returned to the day of her wedding.
She heard that the heir was on his way to fetch the bride, so she tore her wedding dress right off. "I'm not getting married."
When it looked like the wedding was about to fall through, her half-sister hurried to persuade her. "Sister, if you won't marry the heir, who else could you marry?"
Yan Ning turned to look at the gentle young gentleman walking alongside her brother and smiled brightly. "Your Highness, the Crown Prince, they say no one would want to marry me. Would you marry me?"
Everyone in the capital knew that the Crown Prince never showed interest in women. The crowd was astonished, assuming she had lost her mind.
But a glimmer seemed to flash in the man's eyes. His voice hoarse, he said, "All right."
*
After Yan Ning died, her soul lingered by the city tower for a long time.
She saw the man who sat at the height of power clutch her corpse, his eyes reddened.
Later, he had the entire Prince of Kang's estate buried with her. They said torrential rain washed the blood into a river.
[Scene]
No one knew that the usually cold and impassive Crown Prince had always kept someone in his heart.
When he learned she was getting married, he went to see her one last time, bearing the pain in his heart.
To his surprise, the young woman gazed at him with a bright smile and asked if he would marry her.
Heaven knew how long he had been waiting for this moment.

It's a bit unfinished. I finally noticed that it was Bai Yueguang who died long ago. He was the only one who didn't lose his character. Those younger brothers and friends all turned into admiration for the heroine in the end...
After reading it, there are too many single arrows. Rong Xun is so good, Wen Shi is pitiful, and Shen Rang seems a little obsessed!
