Chapter 333: Why not rewrite the rules of the game?
Since she is a favorite concubine, she is naturally a concubine in the harem. Since she is an NPC, she is naturally not the protagonist. Who is the protagonist? The legitimate emperor and empress.
The main plot is the love-hate relationship between the emperor and the empress.
Therefore, as an NPC of the vicious concubine, it is natural for her to be part of the emperor and empress’ fancy play.
When the NPC heroine first entered this small world, the system had already input the entire setting into her brain.
The NPC heroine has experienced many tragic endings of vicious female supporting characters.
But at that time, she was ignorant and unaware, so no matter how painful or evil it was, she could just watch it coldly.
It was not until the previous world that she completely awakened in pain.
She felt the pain first, and then started to think of ways to stay alive: it doesn’t matter if an NPC who doesn’t feel pain dies, but she feels pain.
And she sadly discovered that she was the only NPC who could feel pain.
But she woke up too late. The small world had already advanced two-thirds of the way. As a villain, it was time for her to be "punished".
She tried her best to resist her "fate" but still died in pain.
So in this harem world, she decided to fight back from the very beginning.
But she soon realized that she was too weak.
As an NPC, although she existed for a long time - anyway, she didn't know when she came into existence - but the days she actually lived as a "human" were so short.
She had no idea how to escape her fate.
From the very beginning, she didn't want to enter the palace, but she had no choice: she didn't enter the palace for herself, but her family chose her to enter the palace.
After entering the harem, she wanted to act badly, but everyone sent to the palace by her family was fighting desperately, and she couldn't stay out of it.
If anyone were to say who loves the emperor, those who are "chosen" would first sneer at him: They are not children anymore, and it is better to just say they want to die than to talk about love in the deep palace.
There is only one person who loves the emperor, and that is the queen.
The NPC heroine found it funny: the person who should least love the emperor actually loves the emperor.
But it doesn't matter what she thinks, because she is just an NPC that drives the plot forward.
There are no joys, sorrows, anger, or happiness of their own, and there are no options for players to operate.
On the contrary, there are many ways for her to die... When she entered this small world, her "destiny" was already written into her.
She is still walking on thin ice, following a "fate" that she does not want to but cannot resist - even if she resists, "coincidences" will appear and pull her back to the "correct" track.
The NPC did not gain freedom after awakening, but became more miserable.
This isn't a cool post at all.
Jiang Baige had no choice but to write, overturn, and start over again. After repeating this for a few days, she found that no matter what happened in the first small world, her heroine could not break free from the control of imperial power.
Although in her setting, the heroine does have to experience many failures before she can slowly find the way to success.
But the heroine should have successfully fought back in the first world.
Otherwise, how can it be enjoyable?
After I sent the previous chapters to Zhou Zhou, she said that she thought she had finally written a satisfying novel, but it still wasn't satisfying enough.
Jiang Baige couldn't help but ask herself: Yes, why is my story always not exciting enough?
Is it that she doesn't know the routine? No.
The simplest one: abuse scum, revenge, slap in the face...avoid all the landmines you stepped on in the previous life. It would be best to let your enemies step on them and suffer the bad luck instead.
If there is a love line, then she should find the person who died for her in the previous life and start a perfect relationship again. If there is no love line, then she should concentrate on her career and try to reach the top of society.
But why couldn't she write?
Jiang Baige sighed to Zhou Zhou: [To be honest, formulaic writing is easy to say, but it is quite difficult to write. ]
Zhou Zhou then comforted her, telling her to take it slow and just think of it as breaking out of her comfort zone.
Jiang Baige liked to hear this.
Because she really has a hundred reasons to convince herself to write in the way she likes, unable to escape from reality.
But this time she wanted to break through.
She hopes to go beyond the limits of her own imagination and let her heroine feel the taste of true subjectivity and power.
At that moment, she suddenly realized that if her heroine was confined to the framework of "palace fighting", everything she did would be passive: either she would devote herself to her family, or she would do her best for the emperor's favor.
What about herself?
So what if you win the palace fight?
The end point of victory in the palace fight is nothing more than the queen.
But what kind of victory is "Queen"?
Could it be that I could rest easy from now on, no longer having to worry about the affairs of my family, the emperor, or the concubines? Dream on.
Palace fighting is a vicious cycle with no end: those in lower positions try desperately to climb up; those in higher positions defend their positions desperately to avoid being pulled down by someone who is not afraid of death.
Being a queen is even more painful because she has to transcend the "possessiveness" of ordinary emotions and accept and tolerate all of her husband's wives.
Is that what she wants?
Or do they want to?
No, there is no such assumption as "whether they want to or not".
The initiative of this game has never been in the hands of these concubines who are fighting with each other.
They are just pawns, playthings, bargaining chips, and reproductive machines...
What's more, it is impossible for the NPC heroine to win the palace fight: because although she is a favorite concubine, she is just a villain NPC.
She was a tool to promote the "love between the emperor and the empress" - although in that "love" there were not only her, but also thousands of other women - and men, as well as family and power, but that was also "love".
Therefore, the only way to end this cycle of "killing daughters" is to "kill the emperor."
Only by replacing the emperor and completely changing the rules of the world can she escape from this boring but helpless, cruel but involuntary game.
From the moment she established this goal and put it into action, Jiang Baige's heroine finally found the "correct way to read a cool novel."
She doesn't want to play this game anymore.
She wants to rewrite the rules of the game.
I'm going to die anyway, so why not give it a try?
But she didn't know that Jiang Baige, her creator, would definitely let her win this victory.
Just like Gui Hongyan said: "Don't forget, you are a novelist."
Jiang Baige overturned all the details of this small world - she was reluctant to give it up, as it was tens of thousands of words, but only by giving up can she gain.
After writing according to the new ideas, I finished the outline in just one day.
Even the main text was written more smoothly than she had imagined - she was not good at writing about women's intrigues, but writing about killing men, using men, and making them fight among themselves, wasn't that easy for her?
She had been making 10,000 yuan a day for three days without even realizing it.
In mid-to-late July, heavy rain began to fall in Anjing, and she had almost finished writing her first little world.
Jiang Baige simply gave herself a rainy day off and lay on the bed, watching TV series out of boredom. When she was hungry, she would grab some snacks she had stockpiled long ago - her experience in the previous life told her that it was foolish to pin her hopes on takeout when natural disasters and man-made disasters struck.
When I feel sleepy, I just fall asleep.
Until she received a call from Mo Songru...the comfort came to an abrupt end when the rain stopped the next day.
