[Chapter 20: Now on VIP, Thank You for Your Support] Reader's Guide: 1. One-on-one romance 2. An upright, kindhearted, slightly airheaded policewoman x a calculating, aloof chancellor's daughter 3. Transmigrate into a book + System Wei Jingyi transmigrated into a book, becoming the female general in a political romance novel. In the original story, the woman had disguised herself as a man and switched identities with her elder brother, who died in battle. She became a cavalry general guarding the frontier, and the emperor arranged her marriage to Song Yunshu, the chancellor's daughter. On her wedding night, Wei Jingyi had just transmigrated and had no idea what was going on. The first thing she did after opening her eyes was knock out and tie up a woman who was taking off her clothes. Her movements were so smooth and effortless that the System, which hadn't even had time to introduce itself, shrieked in fright. From the System, Wei Jingyi learned that the woman she'd knocked out was her new wife, Song Yunshu, the female lead of the book and the chancellor's daughter. Song Yunshu was a villainous heroine who only pretended to be meek. At first, she endured and plotted while depending on the male lead. Later, she killed her father and brother, massacred cities, destroyed kingdoms, and unified the realm. In the end, even the male lead died at her hands. Other heroines grew into formidable women. She entered the story already a peerless killing machine with her corruption level maxed out. Wei Jingyi's mission after transmigrating into the book was to find ways to lower Song Yunshu's corruption level and prevent her from eventually killing the entire world of the book into ruin. At first, Wei Jingyi treated Song Yunshu with the utmost care and attention. If she wanted the stars, Wei Jingyi would pluck the moon for her. Yet her corruption level never budged. Then, one day, Wei Jingyi accidentally took her hand. The corruption level that hadn't moved an inch trembled and dropped a little. The System was overjoyed. “So that's what she's into! Just sleep with her and the mission will be over!” Wei Jingyi: ????? One day, Wei Jingyi woke up to find herself bound hand and foot, with only Song Yunshu beside her. Song Yunshu curled her lips into a cold smile. “Do you remember what you did to me on our wedding night?” Wei Jingyi was terrified out of her wits: “...” Song Yunshu lowered her eyes, filled with possessive obsession. “Today, I'll make you pay for the humiliation you inflicted on me that night.” As she spoke, she lifted Wei Jingyi's chin. Her soft, pale fingertips brushed over Wei Jingyi's lips before she leaned in and kissed her. Dazed by the kiss, Wei Jingyi was left with a head full of question marks. She didn't remember doing anything like that to Song Yunshu. When the kiss ended, Song Yunshu nestled against her, her eyes red at the corners and her gaze hazy. She asked plaintively, “Why are you still unmoved by me, even when I'm like this?” Watching her corruption level start climbing again, Wei Jingyi didn't know whether to laugh or be annoyed. “I'd love to make a move, but you have to untie me first!” Author's Weibo: @Jinjiang Gu Qiqi See the author's page for the upcoming novel: Yearning for the Bright Moon in the Azure Sky Synopsis: In the sixth year of Lin'an, the Northern Di besieged the capital. Emperor Shizong moved the court and its officials' families to Nanyang. Chancellor Xie angrily threw down his writing brush and led the garrison out of the city to face the enemy. He was captured, humiliated, and killed. Xie Qingyi, the chancellor's daughter, took up her father's legacy and led the remnants of the army in a desperate defense of the capital, holding out for more than three months. Later, she joined forces with the relief army to crush the Northern Di and recover lost territory, saving the empire from collapse and turning the tide when all seemed lost. In the eighth year of Lin'an, Emperor Shizong personally appointed Xie Qingyi General of the North and granted her the title of Marquis of Qingyang. The histories recorded that Marquis Xie was the first woman ever made a marquis and general. She led troops on the battlefield and never lost a battle. No one before or since could match her. She was the greatest heroine of her age. In the fifteenth year of Lin'an, Emperor Shizong died suddenly, leaving behind a young crown prince. Marquis Xie stopped the rebellion of the Eight Princes and supported Emperor Xiaozong's accession, securing the rightful succession. In the third year of Rende, Marquis Xie defeated the Northern Di once more. On the day she returned to the capital, all the officials knelt to welcome her. In the ninth year of Rende, Marquis Xie surrendered to the Northern Di and was later executed at Kunlong Ridge. Thus fell a great female general. She and the three thousand soldiers who had sworn to follow her were buried beneath the yellow sands. Branded a traitor, she was condemned to bear the infamy of the ages. Reborn, Xie Qingyi stood in the main hall with her white robes stained with blood and a sword in her hand. It was the very day she had crushed the rebellion of the Eight Princes and helped Emperor Xiaozong ascend the throne. She threw back her head and laughed, ignoring the Empress Dowager and Emperor Xiaozong's earnest gazes. Then she took the hand of a slender, beautiful woman in the corner and strode toward the highest seat of power. Xie Qingyi acted without hesitation, surrounding the palace with troops and disregarding the officials' objections as she proclaimed Emperor Shizong's eldest daughter, Princess Linhuai, the new ruler. Princess Linhuai asked in confusion, “Why, Marquis Xie? There has never been a female emperor in any dynasty.” Xie Qingyi smiled and pointed to herself. “There had never been a female general in any dynasty, either. But that began with me in this era. Now it can begin with you.” Theme: She once thought the world unbearably dull, until she saw its final glimmer of light.
