[Full rewrite. The previous plot didn't feel exciting enough, and the male lead took too long to die.]
After the novel's ending, Lin Wuji, dismissed by the common people as a useless puppet emperor, finally broke free of the plot's control. She drew her sword and took to the streets, set the imperial palace ablaze, and washed away her humiliation in blood.
The fire burned for three days and three nights. Even the finest swords were hacked until their blades curled.
The pools of blood on the ground once again brought the court officials' memories of her back to life:
A tyrant who acted decisively, rising to power over countless rivers of blood and heaps of bones.
When she opened her eyes again, she had become the heroine of a new fluffy romance novel.
Heaven insists that a phoenix become a sparrow, letting the male lead cage her in a golden cage.
But she was born extraordinary. How could she let love break her proud spirit?
So Lin Wuji sneered and plunged her sword in: If Heaven will not grant it, then I shall take it myself.
Warnings:
The male lead and male side characters will suffer. The heroine ends up alone and thriving. If there's romance, it can't be tagged as no-couples.
The author really dislikes the setup where the heroine is strong but the hero is even stronger. But everyone has their own preferences, so let's agree to disagree.
The main story aims for a satisfying power fantasy, while the author's notes feature a mystery and investigation plot.
There are three kinds of novels involved: the novel within the novel (the fluffy romance), and the novel written by the author of that novel (starting in the author's note of Chapter 3, this is a modern mystery novel and also a hidden thread in the main story).
One more thing:
This isn't meant as a dig at any kind of novel! Who doesn't love a sweet, soft, pretty heroine?
Coming soon:
An infinite-flow novel the author is too timid to write without preparing a stockpile of chapters for (launching January 17):
"The Madman's Revelry"
Gu Xi: When Heaven wishes to destroy someone, it first drives them mad.
Gu Mingxi: How do you know it isn't making them king?
Theme: Give me liberty, or give me death.
Yay! Fuck the spoiled wife literature
The author did a great job. I personally really don't like the kind of writing where a man hurts me a thousand times and I treat him like my first love. Good guy, heroine, where is your talent? What about your initial revenge? What about your ambition? What's wrong? Do you want nothing just to get married?! The other party just has one more item than you? We can't compare in terms of strength, but we can still attack from the side! Ancient poisoning helps the opponent's old enemy. Traveling through modern times has become more convenient! There are so many viruses that cannot be detected by ancient technology, and gunpowder that can directly blow people into pieces. It really doesn't work, it doesn't do any of the above, you know about dust explosions, right?
Big heroine yyds!
Nice! What a sassy heroine!
. . In the first chapter, the author is too ruthless. The heroine is a woman who is toyed with by the emperor at will by the regent and secret guards. . . . . . Body playing kind. It's really a bit of a stretch after looking at it. . . . Unpleasant
Wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow watching the heroine is so handsome ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh watching me so happy!!!
