Yun Xi transmigrated into a book, a political-strategy novel with a powerful female lead, and became the beautiful, wicked young princess. She was spoiled and arrogant, and did all kinds of evil.
The heroine of the book was her unloved, illegitimate elder sister: a gentle and resilient woman with all the goodness in the world, who suffered countless hardships before becoming empress.
The male lead was a handsome, tragic nobleman. His entire clan was wiped out. He seemed gentle but was cold inside, and later turned evil, killing and seizing power until rivers ran red with blood.
The second male lead was a beautiful, deranged big bad. Born into a noble family and starved of love, he tormented the leads until they were half-dead, then died a tragic death. He was the very picture of a beautiful, lovesick madman.
On the first day after transmigrating, the original owner slapped the heroine, insulted the male lead and made him kneel, then hung the second male lead up and beat him...
Remembering how the second male lead would hold her underwater until she drowned, Yun Xi...
Li Yunxi: (trembling) Big brother, big sister, let me explain... I mean, let me make excuses! QwQ!
To avoid becoming cannon fodder, she nervously tried to please all three big shots, becoming the gentlest, most healing little angel and soothing their wounded, dark, twisted hearts.
She wrote her next steps in a little notebook: get the male and female leads together; cure the crazy second male lead if possible, and hide if not.
She told the heroine, “Big sister, let’s be best friends for life.”
Then the heroine drove the male lead away, seized the throne, and locked Yun Xi in a little black room.
Yun Xi: ?
She told the male lead, “Big brother, don’t rebel. I’ll ask Father to clear your family’s name, and my sister will marry you.”
Then the male lead rebelled.
Yun Xi: ...??
With nowhere left to turn, she fled in panic. Beneath the imperial capital, she saw the enemy kingdom’s young emperor leading a huge army to surround the royal city.
Dressed in a showy dragon robe, the young man smiled brazenly at her. His eyes were filled with an uncontrollable, wild red. He reached out to her. “Xixi, come here, or I’ll attack the city.”
Yun Xi: ...??? (silently shedding tears like a broken faucet) This plot isn’t going right...
**
The capital was sealed in by heavy snow. One woman and two men faced off, each bristling with murderous intent.
Amid the mountains of corpses, Li Yunxi received the System’s demand that she return to the plot. She slowly picked up a sword from the ground and held it to her neck.
“...Could you please stop fighting?”
She tilted her head toward them.
The sickly-sweet villain reforms and is willing to be her devoted servant.
