The Escaped Heroine Rewrites Her Tragic Romance

[Column Previews and Completed Works: Feel free to check them out~]

Du Xuanyuan transmigrates into the heroine of an angst novel. She loses her family, is imprisoned, is treated as a substitute, and is still expected to remain deeply devoted.

Du Xuanyuan: What a load of nonsense.

The heroine she chose devotes herself every day to escaping and causing trouble, giving the System a serious headache.

System Forum:

Question: What do you do when the heroine you've bound refuses to obey?

Answer: Get another one.

To stop Du Xuanyuan from disrupting the plot again, the System simply picks an ordinary-looking, obedient, sensible male passerby and swaps bodies with her.

But while their souls switch bodies, the System bound to the soul also transfers from Du Xuanyuan to the passerby.

Unable to control Du Xuanyuan, the System falls silent with fear as it watches her browse through its skills: This card that causes a celestial phenomenon is perfect for moving mountains, filling in seas, and reclaiming fertile land. This card that lets people meet in dreams can be used like a phone call to get teammates to surround the enemy...

The plot hurtles toward ruin with the unstoppable force of eight horses pulling in different directions.

Du Xuanyuan fights her way from south to north across this realm, wiping out bandits, putting down rebellions among the vassal states, and driving out northern invaders. At last, she reaches a position second only to one and above all others, The Outcast.

System Forum:

Question: What do we do now that the heroine swapped bodies with a male passerby, killed off all the male leads, and is practically a regent?

Answer: Swap them back again. There's your ready-made regent male lead.

The System suddenly sees the light.

.

Du Xuanyuan, back in her female body: How ridiculous. Do you think the people who follow me are loyal for no reason?

As for those who are itching to make a move...

Du Xuanyuan grips her sword hilt and looks toward the nervous young emperor.

They're already dead men walking.

1. The specialist knowledge in the book comes from online searches and has been adapted for the novel. Please don't take it as fact.

2. The male and female leads switch souls, then switch back much later. The female lead will usurp the throne in a female body. The story as a whole is not gender-bender, though the extras have a little gender-bender content and the male lead gives birth.

3. An utterly enormous golden finger!

4. The author's limits determine the work's limits. The author's brain is completely empty, so please be kind.

Ever since Dan Hong could remember, her mother had told her, "We come from a family of officials. Our clan was punished for a crime, so we were exiled to this bitterly cold, war-torn land."

Again and again, she urged her daughter never to forget who she was, and to return to the imperial capital, to that place of song and dance, and wear once more the splendid silks and finery that should have been hers all along.

Dan Hong tramples on one sincere heart after another, finally reaching, step by step, the position she has dreamed of.

Then a large hand, covered in old and new scars, suddenly grabs her as she stands in her wedding clothes.

The fool, born in the dust of the frontier and deceived by Dan Hong time and again, stares at her, his eyes full of resentment and sorrow.

In the harshest voice, he makes the most humble plea: "I can give you everything you want now. Come with me."

The emperor has been having a rough time lately.

Every day, reports come in that General Wei, whom he personally appointed, and the top scorer in the imperial examinations, whom he handpicked, have been fighting in the streets.

Then one day in court, a censor reports that General Wei violated the curfew and was seen near Yong'an Alley at midnight the previous night.

The top scorer and General Wei immediately come to blows in the middle of court.

Only later does His Majesty learn that the top scorer's fiancée lives in Yong'an Alley. By then, however, she has already become the general's wife.
