Bai Yingying is an orphan wandering the martial world. She escaped from her family, and her greatest wish is to take charge of her own destiny.

But as a weak young woman, making a living is no easy task, so she took up the business of swindling people, intending to cheat money out of a rich young man known for his romantic ways.

Later, during a rainstorm, she spotted a carriage. It was finely made, clearly carrying the son of a wealthy family.

Bai Yingying decided at once: This was her perfect mark.

Pretending to be an orphan, she called for help beside the carriage in a soft, helpless voice.

Sure enough, when the curtain was drawn back, she saw a handsome young nobleman with refined features and an elegant bearing.

As rain pattered down, the young man looked at her gently and asked in a soft voice, "Miss, do you need help?"

After going to so much trouble, she finally managed to win the young nobleman over. At the height of their passion, he pressed a lingering kiss to her forehead and solemnly promised, "Don't worry, Yingying. I will make you my wife."

Noblemen are fickle, and the world is full of sorrow.

It was all an act. She didn't believe him.

After getting the money she wanted, Bai Yingying made a clean getaway and bought a house in a remote town, planning to spend the rest of her life there.

One day, she returned home to find her house surrounded by soldiers. Rain pattered down, and the crabapple blossoms swayed helplessly in the storm.

At their head stood a young nobleman dressed in white. Stepping through the scattered raindrops, he gently pinched her chin and asked in a distant voice, "Yingying, are you tired of living?"

Everyone in the capital knew that Marquis Xie's young master was graceful and exceptionally handsome, but his moods were unpredictable and he was deeply calculating.

Noble ladies from the great houses trembled before him and avoided him like the plague.

By the time Bai Yingying learned the truth, it was already too late to regret it.

That day, rain poured from the heavens. He came with an umbrella, stepping over shards of jade, and took her back.

Deep in the courtyard, he keeps one beauty hidden away.

I give you love and hate; come lose yourself with me.

(PS: One-on-one romance, both leads are each other's first, happy ending.)

In romance novels, there's a certain kind of female supporting character: gentle and kind, giving the male lead her whole heart, only to get nowhere because she's just a supporting character. No matter how much she gives, she can't win his love, and she burns for love only to meet a tragic end.

One day, Ruan Qingqing became one of these supporting characters. She decided to take the male leads by force.

World One:

Beautiful, ruthless prime minister's legitimate daughter & aloof, refined noble cousin

Ruan Qingqing was betrothed to the male lead, Xie Yun, in childhood. As the legitimate daughter of the prime minister's household, she was noble and used to holding herself high, yet she became as lowly as dust before Xie Yun. She had loved him for years and given him everything, but Xie Yun turned against his family for a lotus-picking girl and treated her love as worthless.

Later, on Xie Yun's wedding day, Ruan Qingqing stormed in with a sword. The blade grazed his neck as she sneered, "Love me, or die?"

If he wouldn't accept her love, then he'd have to endure her hatred.

She wouldn't allow him to be with anyone else.

He could only love her and be with her.

World Two:

Gentle, unhinged mortal wife & immortal lord who has renounced love

Ruan Qingqing was the wife Immortal Lord Rong Yu married while undergoing a trial in the mortal realm. On their wedding day, Rong Yu ran her through with his sword. She thought he had devoted himself to cultivating immortality, but her cold-hearted husband had fallen in love with a mortal and decided to give up cultivation for her.

So he was capable of love after all. He just didn't love her.

Later, Ruan Qingqing crippled his cultivation, severed the tendons in his hands and feet, and locked him away.

Since he was capable of loving someone, then he could only love her.

World Three:

Proud, beautiful princess & cold, lowly hostage from an enemy state

Ruan Qingqing was an unparalleled beauty and a princess. At first sight, she fell in love with Song Liyue, the enemy state's hostage, who was as cold and bright as the moon. She loved and respected him, and was willing to offer him everything, but his heart belonged only to his childhood sweetheart.

Later, Ruan Qingqing demoted him to her male concubine. As a mere hostage, he should learn his place.

Once a slave, always beneath his station. He had no right to refuse his master's demands.

If she wanted him, he had to give himself to her.

World Four:

Little princess of the immortal realm, who hides her feelings for love & immortal lord with someone else in his heart

World Five:

Beautiful, poor little white flower & dashing, flirtatious heir

Theme: Take charge of your own destiny and stay true to your original intentions.
