The Villainess's Self-Rescue

Deep Love in the Jingyuan is an early romance novel by Mo Chujium. It tells the tumultuous love story of the hero, Lu Jingyuan, and the heroine, Xu Wanqing. Li Qian is the villainous second male lead, and the leads repeatedly break up and get back together, with Li Qian’s schemes behind it all. Once their misunderstandings are cleared up, the second male lead’s plans are exposed and he meets a crushing defeat. When the ending came out, many readers protested that the second male lead shouldn’t have ended up with his company bankrupt and himself dying in a foreign land. They strongly urged the author to change the ending. Mo Chujium stood by her decision for the sake of the plot and refused to make any changes, setting off a huge debate that even made the trending searches.

Writing a story is fun until you transmigrate into a book. One day, Mo Chujium woke up to find herself inexplicably transformed into the childhood friend and cannon-fodder fiancée of the second male lead in her own novel. After a great deal of anguished reflection, Mo Chujium took stock of her mistakes:

1. She shouldn’t have taken the easy way out and used her own name for a character just because she couldn’t be bothered to think of one, especially not for a villain.

2. Whether or not you follow readers’ opinions, you should at least listen to them!

Since she was already here, she might as well make the best of it. So, here’s the question: should she stick to her original intentions, or save herself? It’s a serious dilemma.
