A Guide to Winning Over the Obsessive Heroine

My next book is Raising a Child Who Turns Out to Be a Reborn Big Shot. The blurb is at the very bottom.

Blurb:

“Xu Fangjing, a valiant female general, charged into battle with her blade in hand, displaying both heroic bearing and beauty enough to topple kingdoms. Emperor Ling took her as his empress and shut her away in the harem. But when the Xu family fell from power, Xu Fangjing harmed the imperial heirs and was banished to the Cold Palace...”

Lin Zhiyu only had to skim a few pages to recognize the same tired, female-led plot: Xu Fangjing would take her revenge and ultimately ascend the throne.

How many people in this world could really turn the tide through their own efforts alone?

When Lin Zhiyu woke up, she was stunned. She had really transmigrated into the fictional Great Liang, a dynasty that had never existed in history.

And in her hands was a letter from Emperor Ling: Keep a close eye on Xu Fangjing's every move.

Lin Zhiyu's heart gave a frightened lurch.

After Xu Fangjing became empress, the palace gates ran with blood for three days straight. Everyone who had humiliated her became a stepping stone on her path to the throne.

Without hesitation, Lin Zhiyu crumpled up the note and tossed it into the fishpond. As if! Picking a fight with the heroine would be asking for a death wish.

To save her own skin, Lin Zhiyu stepped forward to shield Xu Fangjing from Emperor Ling's repeated tests and humiliations.

Lin Zhiyu was good in every way except that she cried at the drop of a hat. Every time, she turned into a sobbing mess before she could even feel wronged.

So this scene kept playing out: the little crybaby would sob as she swore, “General Xu, trust me. I'll protect you!”

Before Lin Zhiyu could react, the Xu family army stormed the capital.

Xu Fangjing stood in armor, weapon in hand, having personally slain the tyrant. Her sharp, composed features softened with a fond smile. “The realm is mine now. All I'm missing is an empress. Little Feather, will you be mine?”

Blurb for Raising a Child Who Turns Out to Be a Reborn Big Shot:

Jiang Yixue went along with the trend and transmigrated into a villainess with the same name as her in a romance game.

In the otome game Love and Romance: An Encounter, the heroine Song Xi gets caught up in a maelstrom because she possesses a divine bloodline.

The aloof, immortal-like master Han Yansu, the sunny senior brother Lin Chen, the seductive and domineering Demon Lord Qin Huanchuan, and the gentle, scheming, mysterious Demon God Wei Qi all gradually fall for Song Xi...

Amid all the pink bubbles and romantic love, the villainess Jiang Yixue is nothing but cannon fodder. No matter which story route she follows, she dies at the male lead's hands.

To save herself, Jiang Yixue hefts a giant pair of scissors and sets out to cut the red thread between the hero and heroine. No heroic rescues, no sparks of romance!

And so...

When Song Xi runs into trouble right after joining her sect, Jiang Yixue squeezes in through a gap. “Junior Sister, don't go to your senior brothers from now on. Your senior sister's got you covered!”

When Song Xi is in danger in a secret realm, Jiang Yixue races there day and night, beating the Demon Lord to the scene. “Junior Sister, I'm here!”

The four male leads successfully become background characters. Jiang Yixue claps her hands, ready to make her escape, when she suddenly realizes something is off...

Song Xi looks at her with a smile. “And where do you think you're going, Senior Sister?”

Jiang Yixue: I never imagined the child I raised would turn out to be a villainous big shot reborn from the bad ending route... Is it too late to run?

(Also known as: My disastrous transmigration journey, in which I stole all four male leads' red threads and tied them around myself.)
