Dawn Breaks, and the Doomed Couple Defy Fate Again

Gu Wanwu transmigrates into a book as the heroine of an angsty romance, carrying a System that helps her win over a scumbag. Three years later, she still hasn’t succeeded. Taking advantage of a System bug, she switches to the role of the villainess: rich, beautiful, powerful, and blessed with the irresistible aura of everyone’s beloved first love. The only downside: she’s doomed to die a horrible death. She’s about to reach the pinnacle of life. How could she give in to this “little obstacle” so easily? So she sets her sights on a short-lived prince with a fate just like hers. He’s powerful and high-ranking, sharp-tongued and devious, with enemies on all sides. A cannon-fodder character born to pave the way for the protagonist. If she can defy fate and change his destiny, she can surely fix her own ending too. But this man... Gu Wanwu became his disciple three years ago and already knew he was “impossible to please”: nothing ever met his standards, and anything that did was bound to bring her trouble. When she learns he’s fated to die upon returning to court, she presents him with a magical antidote. He says, “Which other bastard did you offer this to? He turned it down, so now you’re giving it to me?” When she learns he’s fated to die on campaign, she offers him a magical book of thirty-six strategies. He says, “Come on, how long have you been a spy in my army? Are you after power, or after me?” When she learns he’s been unmarried for years, she offers to arrange a match with a beautiful woman. He says, “Fool. If you want to arrange a marriage, you don’t have to hint at it like this. Just sneak into my room tonight!” After going through this time and time again, Gu Wanwu grits her teeth and reminds herself that the greater plan comes first. She should endure it once, then twice, then three times... No more enduring! That very day, she grabs a knife and heads to the prince’s residence. Her vision blurs, and she finds herself a bride on his bed. He grips her chin and laughs without restraint. “I knew you’d been in love with me for years. Today, I’ll grant your fondest wish.”
