The Tragic Novel's Heroine Goes Viral on a Survival Reality Show

Su Zhen was the heroine of an angst novel. After enduring an unimaginably brutal life, she had honed her survival skills to perfection.

When she opened her eyes again, she had returned to the moment she joined a wilderness survival show, back when the entire internet mocked her as a pampered burden.

Faced with a rattlesnake rearing up at her, Su Zhen smashed its head with one high heel.

Back then, I crossed the entire Pudong Airport to escape a domineering CEO who wanted to harvest my kidney. With legs like mine, crushing this little bug is a piece of cake.

The "little bug," now separated from its head, had nothing to say.

Netizens noticed that Su Zhen, the pampered socialite, had undergone a complete transformation.

In the primeval forest, the contestants trembled at the sight of all kinds of parasites. The male lead protected his starving White Moonlight and angrily threatened to destroy the production company.

Meanwhile, Su Zhen had already eaten her fill.

The angst-novel male lead sneered. How do you know what's safe to eat and what isn't? Are you trying to seduce me and get my attention?

Su Zhen coolly pulled out a flashy black-and-gold SSS-level card from the No. 1 Hospital in Jing City.

You had me dragged off to get my kidneys and corneas harvested all the time. After surgery, I couldn't eat this or that. If I hadn't learned what foods to avoid, I'd have been dead ages ago.

On a cliff, the contestants had to pick snow lotus succulents to win the competition.

The contestants stared at the hundred-meter drop, trembling with fear.

The male lead gazed passionately at his White Moonlight, ready to part forever. I'll break your fall. Go!

White Moonlight: No, my love!

Meanwhile, Su Zhen had already tied a rope around herself and leaped. In a flash, she picked the snow lotus with no effort at all.

The livestream chat filled with question marks.

Su Zhen: Back then, when they made me choose between two options, the kidnappers killed me and tossed me off a hundred-meter cliff. If I hadn't learned to run along walls and leap over rooftops, I'd have been dead ages ago.

Contrarian netizens commented: It's just a man she wants. Give him to her, or she'll punch a hole through the planet.

After that, Su Zhen completely broke away from her role as the deranged heroine of an angst novel. She made a comeback as a self-reliant, independent top-tier star of the new era, and became a sensation.

Her military officer grandfather acknowledged her in public and urged her to enlist. With a physique this formidable, you'd be perfect for the military!

The alpha male lead instantly became her adoring fan and asked her to be CEO. You can handle the brutal workload of an angst novel, so you'd be perfect for the 996 work schedule!

A face-slapping divorce-and-reconciliation novel, please add it to your reading list. Title: After Our Divorce, He Went Through the Fire. Blurb:

Liu Jiao was a country girl, plain and unrefined, though not without a little beauty. The princess took a liking to her and arranged for her to marry her personal guard, allowing her to move to the wealthy capital. From then on, she would want for nothing. Her husband was handsome and ambitious, and she would never have to worry about the future.

Everyone said she'd gotten a great deal and should be grateful to the princess.

But her married life was not happy.

Liu Jiao was the guard's wife, yet her husband spent more time with the princess than with her.

The princess and her husband were inseparable.

At night, all Liu Jiao got was her husband's cold back.

The princess would casually flirt with him, and this usually stern man would blush and spend days distracted.

No matter how hard Liu Jiao tried to seduce him or act sweet, he remained just as distant.

She had once suspected there was something between them. Her husband rested a hand on his sword and warned her coldly:

"Don't get the wrong idea. The princess is married. If you slander her like this, you'll ruin her reputation."

At first, Liu Jiao comforted herself:

The princess is nobly born, so naturally my husband has to protect her with his life. It's his duty as her personal guard.

She might have been ignorant of the ways of the world, but she wasn't blind. After being passed over time and time again, and suffering disappointment after disappointment, she finally understood one thing:

No matter how great his duty was, there was no need for him to be so devoted to the princess, attending to every last detail.

Only affection, a love hidden deep in his heart, could make him devote himself so completely to her.

Her husband, the princess's personal guard,

was in love with the princess.

*

Later, he became a high-ranking official, and the princess divorced her husband. The two of them were no longer held back by their positions.

Though Liu Jiao was a country girl, she knew her place. She submitted divorce papers, and her husband merely said, in a calm voice, that he agreed.

He was so calm and indifferent that he even taught this illiterate, unrefined country girl how to write her name, so she could sign the divorce papers.

It was only on the day Liu Jiao remarried, when he brought soldiers to drag her back, that she found out:

The name he'd taught her to write on the divorce papers wasn't her own.

It said "I refuse."
