No Bullying the Storybook Heroine

Jiang Yao dreamed she was living inside a tragic romance novel. The male lead was the seventh prince of the current dynasty, and the female lead was Song Muyun, the daughter of a disgraced official whose family had been confiscated just days earlier for the crime of deceiving the emperor. She had fallen into the pleasure quarter, where the seventh prince, whom she had once rejected, would humiliate her viciously before taking her away. And the Jiang family, meanwhile, would be collateral damage caught between the seventh prince and Song Muyun... The seventh prince gave Song Muyun to Jiang Yao's foolish younger brother to win his favor. Because her brother got in the way of the male and female leads, the male lead kept pushing the heroine away, bullying her and dragging Jiang Yao's foolish brother along to humiliate her. In the end, all that hardship only brought them closer together, and the prince had Jiang Yao's entire family executed. Jiang Yao: ... She woke up furious. At first, she had her doubts about the dream. Then she saw the seventh prince visiting the pleasure quarter again and again, asking for Song Muyun by name every time. Jiang Yao: Well, well, you deadbeat seventh prince. You dare have my family executed? You must be tired of living! Later, Song Muyun became the star performer of the pleasure quarter. Whenever she was scheduled to perform, two people would keep outbidding each other. One was the seventh prince, the current emperor's son. The other was Jiang Yao, daughter of the chancellor. Song Muyun was reborn, carrying a boundless hatred. But when she reached out, her hand touched something warm and soft. Someone held her close, then gently patted her back when they noticed her stir, murmuring soothingly, "Be good, A Yun. Go back to sleep. Tomorrow I'll take you to the West Street to get something to eat..." Jiang Yao, the highly skilled martial artist x Song Muyun, too delicate to manage on her own The bottom is reborn later in the story Both are each other's first Author's Weibo: Jinjiang-He Wei Fengyue Please add my upcoming story to your collection: The Frail Supporting Character Is Too Clingy Li Shuyu never dreamed she'd transmigrate into a novel and become the vicious cannon-fodder character who shared her name. And not just any cannon fodder, but one who died early! The original Li Shuyu was of royal blood. Her mother was a princess of a conquered kingdom, and after giving birth to her, she threatened to kill herself unless the emperor sent the child out of the palace. As a result, Li Shuyu was raised as the legitimate daughter of a minister surnamed Li. Once the minister and his wife learned the truth, they doted on her excessively, encouraging her arrogance and cruelty. She went out every day to make enemies and often bullied the concubine-born daughter of the family, beating, scolding, and humiliating her at the slightest provocation. The girl's low status left her with no one to protect her, and the people in the household turned a blind eye as she was tormented for years. Eventually, she turned cruel, stabbed the original Li Shuyu, a member of the royal family, and framed the novel's heroine. She became the villainess who added one hardship after another to the leads' romance. In the end, her murder of her legitimate younger sister was exposed, and the emperor, grief-stricken, secretly sentenced her to a cruel death. She died horribly. When Li Shuyu transmigrated, she happened to see the original character push her concubine-born elder sister, Li Qiuyue, into the water. After struggling for her life, Li Qiuyue was finally rescued. Wrapped in a thin outer robe, she pressed her red lips together and looked at Li Shuyu with tearful eyes, frightened and wronged. Li Shuyu was stunned. What kind of hellish situation was this?! The next second, the vicious villainess spoke in a soft, timid voice, like a little white flower: "Third Sister, I didn't mean to get your clothes dirty. Please don't be angry. I... I won't touch your things again." Li Shuyu: I really deserve to die. What vicious villainess? How was she anything like one? This was clearly my elder sister, who's so frail she can't even take care of herself! Both are each other's first Theme: Daring to break through adversity
