"The Script of Killing the Substitute Princess" is an ancient story about power and revenge. The concubine Shen Yuan was skinned and made into a drum by "White Moonlight" Gu Zhi in her previous life, and died with hatred; after her rebirth, she was bound to the "script killing system", which allowed her to change her lines into a killing weapon, and randomly kill one person every time she changed a line. Gu Zhi holds the original script in hand and vows to make Shen Yuan a substitute again. The two used the imperial city as their bureau and all living beings as their children, and they killed each other at every level: the tower collapsed, the emperor and the empress fell together, the bronze mirror was written in blood, and all officials were cleared... When the system collapsed and the world restarted, Shen Yuan wrote the final chapter: the old empress betrayed their relatives and separated, the old emperor was imprisoned forever, and the old king's iron limbs blossomed. She stepped on the ashes and ascended the throne, but only left a blank page of imperial edict on the ruins-- "In the next life, I will write it myself."

Through the thrilling twelve hours, this novel shows the undercurrents of Nanjing before 1937, as well as the individual choices and perseverance in the torrent of the times. Come to China Literature's website to read more of my works!
