I'm Done Being the Heroine of This Historical Romance

[Next up: "Kill That Female Lead [Infinite]": A gentle, obsessive, scheming princess VS a dramatic, delicate green-tea legitimate daughter; a character awakens VS transmigrate into a book] Ji Lanyin has spent twenty years drifting through life in a daze. While dozing at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, she suddenly learns in a dream that she is supposedly the heroine of an "angst novel." In half a tea's time, she will accidentally fall into the water at her own princess's residence and be rescued by Gu Xuan, heir to Prince Wu'an. The two will be forced into an engagement. After they marry, Gu Xuan will take a concubine, and at that woman's instigation, he will beat and humiliate Ji Lanyin at the slightest provocation, make her kneel in the snow, and even have her flesh cut and her blood drained to cure the concubine when she falls ill. In the end, Ji Lanyin will fake her death, consumed by despair. After her "death," Gu Xuan will regret everything, professing undying love. When he later discovers traces of her escape, he will travel thousands of miles to find her and confess his feelings. She will then let down her guard and reunite with him. A strange voice rings in her ear, shouting, "Follow the script and get a happy ending with him! Follow the script and get a happy ending with him!" Ji Lanyin doesn't believe it. She pretends to slip, and the next moment, the neglected legitimate daughter of the Xie family leaps in after her as if she'd lost her soul. When Ji Lanyin struggles to breathe, the girl presses her lips to hers. Ji Lanyin: "???" * Ji Lanyin doesn't like Xie Ling'an. She doesn't like her misty eyes, her frail, swaying manner, or the way she softens her voice to call her "Sister." Xie Ling'an is the "green tea" concubine from her dream, the one who loves sowing discord and wants to drink her heart's blood. While they admire plum blossoms in the snow, Gu Xuan tries to put his cloak over Ji Lanyin's shoulders, but Xie Ling'an gets it dirty. The young woman gazes at her in panic with her dewy black eyes, yet still holds Ji Lanyin's cold fingertips and breathes warm air onto them. At the palace's crab banquet, Xie Ling'an pushes aside Gu Xuan, who is chatting and laughing with Ji Lanyin, and lifts her little face to offer her a piece of snow-white crab meat she'd picked clean. "This humble woman is useless and can only do little things. I would never let this food dirty the princess's hands." Her father suppresses her, her mother makes things difficult for her, and Ji Lanyin is in low spirits. In the dead of night, Xie Ling'an even boldly climbs into her bed, combs her fingers through Ji Lanyin's hair, sings to her, and eases her worries. Ji Lanyin: "This is what a green tea is?" Such a good thing should belong to her. * My Heart in Secret is an ancient-setting angst novel. The heroine, Ji Lanyin, has the title of princess but is foolishly lovestruck. A marriage contract gets her married to the hero, and from then on she suffers both emotional and physical abuse. The hero's moonlight is a scheming green tea. Because the heroine takes the position of legal wife, she can only enter the household as a concubine, and so she hates the heroine. She eggs the hero on to abuse her for over a hundred chapters, then fakes an illness so he'll cut out flesh and drain blood for her. After the heroine fakes her death, the hero goes through a series of remorseful antics to win her back. The two then torment the supporting female character to death. It's a thoroughly melodramatic, clichéd mess. After finishing the whole novel and cursing it out, Xie Ling'an wakes up the next day transmigrated into the green-tea supporting character. Xie Ling'an: "..." It's fine. She's just a green tea. She knows how to play this role. She ruins the hero and heroine's dates, then plays dirty whenever they meet. After a whole string of schemes, she finally cuts their romance down to nothing. Xie Ling'an packs her things and prepares to flee in the dead of night. That very night, Princess Lanyin lounges on a beauty couch, one shoulder bare. Her warm breath brushes Xie Ling'an's ear. "You're always so good at climbing into my bed, Ling'an. So why are you crying tonight?" #How did the romance heroine turn out to be into women? Is there no justice? # #I played the green tea, but the one I played it on was the heroine. # [Reading Guide] 1. Ji Lanyin is the pursuer, and the story is told from her perspective.

Next up: Kill That Female Lead [Infinite] [Sweet-faced, ruthless black lotus x ultra-strong, fake-sweet heroine] On a stormy night of lightning and thunder, Ming Yu dies in a car accident after leaving her law firm. When she opens her eyes, she finds herself in a strange and unpredictable Infinite world. The Ripper's icy blue eyes glitter with savage malice, and blood from his knife drips into a river.

After risking their lives for one another again and again, as things become increasingly impossible to control, Ming Yu finally resolves to pull away. But that night, Chi Youxing downs the poison Ming Yu offers her.
