Jiang Lian is controlled by the "Torture Novel Experience System" and becomes Jiang Lian, the white-moonlight stand-in in an old-fashioned angst novel who is physically and emotionally abused by the male lead.
As it happens, Jiang Lian has a rebellious streak.
System: [Host, the male lead is drowning his sorrows in alcohol because his white moonlight is entangled with someone else. Go take advantage of the situation.]
Jiang Lian went, made a few sarcastic remarks to the male lead, and helpfully added that his white moonlight was enjoying a romantic date with someone else.
At a palace banquet, the male lead offered her up for a political marriage to protect his white moonlight.
? System: [Host, you have to trust that the male lead won't really make you go through with the marriage.]
Jiang Lian: ...No problem. She's already got a plan. Once the banquet ends, she'll seize the chance to slap him twice while he's angry. If he doesn't fight back, she'll punch him twice more.
Jiang Lian thought she would be free once she finished following the plot, but then she realized that Wei Heng, the original novel's second male lead, seemed to have gone dark!
*
Wei Heng met a woman in Ningzhou. She asked him to be her husband, and he believed her.
But when they met again, her gaze rested only on his elder brother. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't make her look at him even once.
Later, she began to waver, but she still loved his brother. It didn't matter, as long as she could love him a little more!
Later still, Wei Heng imprisoned her and kept her by his side. She said she loved him, but he didn't believe her.
In the depths of winter, snow fell in a flurry. She was getting married, and he came to steal her away.
She collapsed into his arms and said she loved him.
