Blurb:
You are the second-generation Mary Sue, and unfortunately you've landed a script full of old-school melodrama, darkness, physical and emotional torment, and smut…
The domineering CEO, the young master of the underworld, the twins, the seductive villain: every one of them is a big shot.
Will you lie flat or fight back?
Notes:
The setting is an old-school melodramatic romance world, with lots of original worldbuilding.
For a female-oriented audience. The heroine is essentially a player.
Love triangles, male rivalry, and men getting tortured.
Once the male lead falls for the heroine, he becomes hopelessly devoted. If he hates her, he still loves and hates her at the same time. His love never fades.
The heroine's attitude toward certain men in the story, if gender-swapped, could be found in a "classic literary work."
Content warnings and highlights:
1. The heroine pursues her career, and there's scheming and plotting.
2. Pseudo-incest, love triangles, and male rivalry. At heart, it's a romance novel, so there's plenty of romance.
3. Mockery of the "devoted wife" archetype, and graphic torture of the original male leads.
Theme: Feminism.
