- 1 Story of Yanxi Palace: Revisions 如懿传之修改 The forced dumbing-down and contrived plot feel as if a System is controlling everything. But what if there is no System? This book was inspired by the fact that although the reputation of Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace has turned around, there are still plenty of people who love the show. This story focuses on that contradiction. Wei Yanwan won’t be harmed, but Ruyi won’t be brought down so quickly either. If you don’t like the opening, there’s another version in the bonus chapter, and it’s ea 108Reads5.9Score—14d adds

She was tormented in the palace for ten years. What a joke. Did she really think a mere prayer banner could frighten her? She had killed them already. Was she supposed to fear them crawling out of hell for revenge? She hated it. She hated that fate never seemed to be on her side, and that this ending was so unfair to her. “Heavens!
