In novels, there are always characters hated by everyone, the ones nobody likes.
When Xu Ji transmigrated into them, she was supposed to die miserably, just as the story dictated.
But she was... stunningly beautiful, peerless in her grace.
[World One: The Ruthless Ambitious Schemer in a Political Intrigue Novel]
She was a beautiful skeleton propped up by desire. She killed her father and brother, persecuted loyal officials, and framed her teachers. Walking alone over piles of bones, she scorned benevolence and morality, convinced she was innocent.
At the end, they asked if she had ever hesitated or regretted it, even for a moment.
“Never,” she said.
The realm should belong to the capable. A crown had never been won through charity. She was born noble and proud. Who were the others to compete with her?
She had never regretted it before, and she never would.
The beauty stood in red, her robes blazing, tragic and alone. In that moment, even the coldhearted people caught in the vortex of power and ambition felt their hearts skip a beat at the sight of her.
[World Two: The Troubled Girl in a School Story]
A thorn growing wild in the wilderness, untamed, unruly, and reckless.
Years of insomnia left her in a foul mood. She smoked, drank, and fought, living a complete mess of a life. Cold and alluring, she bore extensive tattoos, like cursed totems that could devour a person's heart.
Everyone called her a broken, worthless mess.
But somehow, that was exactly the mess they fell in love with.
[World Three: The Cold-Blooded Vampire in a Western Fantasy Novel]
A vampire of the lowest rank, unable to catch prey or compete with the other vampires.
A pitiful little thing, who might die in despair from her thirst for blood at any moment.
And yet, with her exquisite features and captivating beauty, she had an innate knack for deception.
Her parted lips were coated in honey, her pink tongue dipped in poison.
She was right before your eyes, yet so distant she seemed forever beyond your reach.
Still, the suckers she fooled didn't think it counted as a lie.
She was witty, funny, and gentle. She had a thousand faces for every human and vampire, and countless ways to draw hearts closer.
All it took was a little blood.
[World Four: The Traditional Wife in a Republican-Era Novel]
She was the opposite of a modern girl: gentle, conservative, and restrained.
In an age of transition, when anything with a Western label doubled in value, when men of letters rejected arranged marriages and abandoned their wives to boast of their liberated thinking, and when the world grew ever more progressive and restless, she was like a gentle breeze. She made every lost soul pause in time to think carefully about where to go next.
[World Five: The Profit-Driven Director in an Entertainment Industry Novel]
You By My Side, the most awkward dating show in history. The guests had no chemistry whatsoever, and every forced matchmaking segment made viewers curse the director for taking a paycheck without doing the work.
#This show made me realize there are a group of women in Huaguo looking for boyfriends and a group of men looking for girlfriends. The two groups are looking separately and have nothing to do with each other.#
#The straight men and women don't interact at all, and the show has no highlights. The only reason I've stuck with it is the guests' good looks.#
#I'll sign a petition in blood for the producers to replace the director! I came to watch handsome men and beautiful women romance each other, not act like siblings!#
But no one expected this dating show, mocked as dull, to become a hit and top the trending charts.
And the trending topics were...
#When the dating show's director steps in to save the ratings, the term “everyone's dream girl” must have been made for her#
#You By My Side: Everyone x the Director#
#A closer look at the director at the center of this love triangle showdown#
#She charms men and women alike! Surrounded by admirers! A dating show? No! Palace intrigue? Yes!#
