Also known as "The Plan to Save My Wife After Transmigrating into a Dog-Blooded Angsty Novel"
In the third month, when rumors were spreading through every street and alley in Beimo City, He Yin finally confirmed that she had transmigrated into the dog-blooded angsty novel she'd just finished reading.
A storm was brewing over Beimo, but luckily she knew the original story, which gave her half a golden finger. Before war broke out, He Yin decided to run.
Along the way, she happened to rescue someone: a young woman she had dragged out of a pile of corpses. Her eyes were injured and she was surrounded by a deathly air, but none of that diminished her breathtaking beauty.
The woman was cool and reserved. She said her name was Duan Wuyu, and that she had fled here to escape the fighting.
He Yin had never heard of anyone fleeing to a remote border town where even the birds wouldn't leave droppings, but she didn't pry. Her solo journey became a trip for two. He Yin had always been patient with girls, so she stayed in Beimo a little longer to let Duan Wuyu recover.
After scraping by here for three months, He Yin knew how hard it was for a woman like Wuyu to survive in this world. So when she decided to leave, she planned to take Wuyu with her.
But they didn't get away.
Because Duan Wuyu... no, Duan Wu, had gathered the scattered remnants of the Duan family army from across Beimo.
The chance of finding the original novel's heroine in the wilderness near a border town was low, but not zero.
As Duan Wu stood before a well-ordered army, He Yin recalled the author's early description of her: ambitious enough to conquer new lands, fearless, and inferior to no man.
But she couldn't understand why the heroine, who should already have died at this point in the original story, had appeared in Beimo and been picked up by her.
After spending all this time with Duan Wu, He Yin found it hard to connect her with the lovesick fool the author later described, someone who endured every kind of humiliation yet still stubbornly asked Xie Zhao whether he had ever loved her.
Duan Wu knew she had questions. She smiled openly at her and asked in a voice of utmost gentleness,
"A Yin, will you work with me?"
Much, much later...
He Yin asked Duan Wu again and again, "When you called for help back then, how were you so sure I'd save you?"
Duan Wu was helpless against her persistence. She gently stroked He Yin's head, her gaze soft and her voice smiling. "I wasn't sure. I just thought you were cute. Even if you hadn't saved me and had stabbed me instead, I would have died content."
Theme: Sunny, cheerful, and always looking on the bright side.
