*Gloomy, obsessive, lovesick young prince x dazzling, alluring, flirtatious rich woman
Everyone says Pei Liang was sent from the capital to gain experience and will eventually have to return, so Ming Jiao and he could never last.
But Pei Liang was handsome, refined, and gentle, the kind of man you couldn't find another of in all of Huaining even with a lantern. And what they did together left Ming Jiao wanting more, so she became his favorite concubine.
Sure enough, six months later, everything happened just as everyone had predicted. She saw the letter of dismissal on the desk.
At that moment, she awakened and discovered she was merely a supporting character in a novel. She was stunningly beautiful, loved handsome men, and was addicted to sex. She was the male lead Pei Liang's first love.
She was supposed to set up a groveling-arc for the male lead, go through the heartbreak, then succumb to his charms and finally make him give up on her completely.
Meanwhile, the male lead was betrothed in the capital to the original heroine, Ming Jiao's older half-sister.
She also awakened the ability to reload a save, and promptly saved her game.
Then, before long, Pei Liang divorced her and returned to the capital.
Ming Jiao put on a show of crying, then quickly got over it.
With her save-reloading ability, whenever she was angry, she could reload and go back to beat Pei Liang up.
Whenever she needed to blow off steam, she could reload and go back to find Pei Liang. The aloof, untouchable beauty would always gaze up at her with tearful eyes, his hair damp, looking utterly pitiful.
She looked healthier with every passing day. Some even suspected that after being divorced, she had given up all restraint and secretly taken a lover.
Her business also flourished. She became a wealthy merchant and businesswoman, renowned for her beauty, with a long line of suitors seeking her hand.
Just as she was weighing her options among her suitors, Pei Liang returned, crawling back to her in despair. "I was wrong. I'll marry you. I'll bring you into my home in a grand eight-palanquin procession. Don't marry anyone else. Can we love each other like we used to?"
Ming Jiao smiled. "You say we're over, then say you'll marry me. What makes you think you can? Get down on your knees and beg."
He came crawling over on his knees and looked up at her. "Jiao Jiao, please."
With her save-reloading ability, she could torment him with ease and without mercy.
Ming Jiao's take: She was having a great time.
She never expected him to remember those experiences. He kissed her until she went weak all over, then threatened her: "Go back and find me again? The me right now can give you even more. Don't believe me? Try it."
Ming Jiao tried. Yeah, he really was just a tiny bit more vigorous.
