One day, after being kidnapped, Yan Yu discovers that she's a minor character in a series of books.
She peeks through a crack in the door. Three heavyweight protagonists are crowded outside, their usually friendly faces now twisted with a terrifying, anxious fury.
It turns out that her long-lost, stern older brother is the protagonist of The Gu King Conquers All. As the Gu King of southern Xinjiang, he commands a legion of death soldiers and can kill anyone he wants before the fifth watch.
Her carefree childhood friend is the protagonist of Blessed by Fortune. Born with supernatural luck, everything he says comes true. Even the gods can't beat his accuracy.
Her delicate, gentle cousin is the heroine of The Heartthrob Is Done with This. She thinks everyone hates her, but princes and nobles are so devoted to her that they'd gladly surrender their kingdoms.
All three books share the same major villain.
The person who kidnapped her.
Now all three are searching for her outside.
Thinking it over, the protagonists do seem more powerful.
Yan Yu gulps, turns toward the room, and puffs out her little chest as she faces the villain who kidnapped her, his fingers interlaced beneath his chin.
She declares, "I'm warning you, d-don't do anything stupid. I've got people backing me up."
The villain bares his teeth in a frightened smile, his lips red and teeth white, his eyes dark and sinister.

Shi Jian built the mighty Shi army with his own hands, only to lose more than half his soldiers because of a foolish plot.
On his quest to avenge them, the same few people keep getting in his way and disrupting his plans.
He despises these pests blocking his path, yet no matter what he does, he can't get rid of them.
These people all seem to have some infuriatingly strange abilities.
Shi Jian refuses to give up. To uncover their secrets, he forces one of their families to agree to a marriage and kidnaps the intended bride to discuss the arrangements.
Then he discovers that all these people share one weakness: his betrothed.
Shi Jian watches Yan Yu for a long time, intending to use her to bring down the Yan family.
But he discovers that his little fiancée, whom he tricked into this, is surprisingly bold. She seems to be making up some nonsense, daring to talk back to him, and she's not at all afraid.
Shi Jian doesn't think she's worth arguing with, and occasionally indulges her.
As he keeps indulging her, that indulgence turns into possessiveness.
He wants to truly take her away from those irritating people.
