Chapter 1: Death is the only way to survive in a book
Yu Fei was awakened from her coma by a burst of urgent voices.
"Miss, Miss——"
He slowly opened his eyes. The bright sunlight was like prickly needles that made it difficult for him to lift his eyelids. Half-closed, he saw two men dressed as guards and a woman who looked like a maid in front of him.
She blinked her eyes and clenched her palms, feeling a slight pain in her skin.
Isn't this a dream?
Before she lost consciousness, she and a group of friends chartered a boat and sailed to the middle of the sea for fun. Suddenly, a strong wind blew from the sky, overturned the boat, and everyone fell into the sea like dumplings.
Although she could swim, the waves were big and her legs were cramped, so she was swept by the current and sank to the bottom of the sea.
That feeling of being suffocated by water...
Yu Fei took a deep breath of the fresh and wonderful air.
"Miss, are you okay?" asked the woman who looked like a maid.
"Miss, why did you suddenly faint? Would you like me to find a doctor to take a look?" Man A, dressed as a guard, said with a flattering look on his face.
Yu Fei stroked his swollen forehead and then realized that he was half lying on a mahogany beauty couch.
She looked at the pattern on the left armrest. It was so gorgeous and lifelike that it looked like an ancient object. The workmanship was really good!
Looking at the two men and one woman, their makeup and clothing are also very antique, and the crew's costumes and makeup lunch boxes have to be supplemented with chicken legs.
He was just too immersed in the role, and his words had a strong flavor of the remnants of the Qing Dynasty.
"It was you... who saved me?" Yu Fei asked.
Could it be that she encountered a clichéd plot in movies and TV shows - being washed onto the beach by the waves and then being rescued by a film crew somewhere?
"Miss, what are you talking about?" The maid looked confused.
"Miss, are you mad at this evil creature? Let me help you beat him up again!" Guard B stepped aside, rolled up his sleeves, and looked towards the steps.
Yu Fei followed his line of sight.
Hey, why is there someone lying down here?
Guard A went down very tactfully, lifted the man by the back of the collar, forced him to stand up, and said to Yu Fei in a servile manner: "Miss, this boy's leg is broken. Do you want to cut off his arm..." He smiled sinisterly.
Yu Fei felt a chill on his back.
How did these crew members act with her? But her acting is really good, better than those popular young actors in China.
The man pretending to faint was good-looking. Although his face was covered in blood, it did not detract from his handsomeness. He looked like famous porcelain or snow on a mountain top, with a noble and elegant temperament.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Guard B thought she agreed and tried to go down the stairs.
Seeing the two men preparing to fight, Yu Fei hurriedly raised his sleeves and said, "Wait...wait."
Something is wrong. This scene looks so familiar.
In a flash, she suddenly thought of the electronic fast food she had read before going to bed last night - "Beauty of the East Palace".
The female cannon fodder Yu Fei in the film broke the male protagonist's leg, and was later retaliated by the male protagonist's parents and beaten into a pile of meat paste...
Yu Fei shuddered, patted his chest, pointed at the injured man and asked, "...What's his name?"
"Ah, A Cang." The maid stuttered back.
"What's my name?"
"Yu, Fei."
Yu Fei was so angry that he fell backwards.
God closed the door of her life and gave her a window of death.
She didn't wear it earlier or later, but just when she had offended the male protagonist to the point where they were irreconcilable!
The original owner, Yu Fei, was also a rare flower in the female world. In modern times, it would be like this: if a man takes a fancy to a woman, he will snatch her away, and if he gets her, he will take her away. If you don't comply, you will be beaten until you surrender.
The male protagonist Jing Cang was snatched away by the original owner from her concubine's sister. Seeing his handsome appearance, the original owner wanted to force him. Unexpectedly, the male protagonist refused to obey, and the original owner, who had always been arrogant and domineering, asked someone to teach him a lesson and broke his legs.
The Yu family is the number one wealthy family in the area, and the original owner is also the legitimate daughter, so it is not reasonable that her end should be so tragic. However, the male protagonist is the current crown prince, a treasure in the eyes of the emperor and empress. When he learned that his son encountered an assassination attempt while on business trip, he was almost bullied into disability by a merchant woman from a small place.
The emperor was furious and buried millions of corpses. The entire Yu family was raided and exiled. The original owner was punished with caning as a warning to others.
Yu Fei clearly remembered the moment when the original owner died.
It was raining heavily in the imperial city, and the blood at the Meridian Gate flowed into a small river. The beautiful and kind-hearted heroine looked at the original owner whose body was rotten like mud on the execution platform, and sighed softly: "She was very beautiful, what a pity."
The male protagonist took a quick glance, as if he saw something dirty, and the slightly raised corners of his mouth seemed to say that she deserved to die.
…
Yu Fei's hands and feet were icy cold, as if they were in an ice cellar.
Is it any use for her to kneel down before the hero, cry and beat her chest in apology for giving him her legs as compensation?
A prince who was trained as an heir since childhood, a man who has accomplished great things, is inevitably hard-hearted and cold-blooded. He suffered such a great humiliation from her, if he doesn't get back at her, where will he save face in the future?
Yu Fei looked at Jing Cang. He was injured and unconscious at the moment, like a crouching beast. A little chick like her could easily pick up a knife and chop or stab him to death.
But if the hero dies, will the book be cut short and the world collapse?
What if she doesn't have a second chance to travel through time and be reborn?
Killing the male protagonist is not an option, there is no wall that is impenetrable.
Jing Cang was snatched from his concubine's sister's carriage at the gate of Yu Mansion by the original owner. Many common people saw him at the time, and many servants in the mansion had also seen him.
He died quietly, and later the court would use the portrait to look for someone, and who knows who would betray her. Did she want to kill all the people in the city?
Can't do it.
Not realistic.
There is a cliff in front and an abyss behind. She will die no matter what...
"Miss, what should we do with this kid?" Guard Jia held Jing Cang by the back of his collar with both hands and asked breathlessly.
"Throw it into the woodshed!" Guard B suggested.
Yu Fei ignored the two lackeys, thought for a moment, and said, "Send them to my room in the courtyard."
"ah?"
Several people said in unison, their mouths so full of surprise that they could fill with an egg.
"What?" Yu Fei sat up straight, glanced at them with contempt, and acted like a young lady. "Giving him a slap and a sweet date will make him fall in love with me faster."
Anything can collapse, but a person’s character cannot collapse.
"Yes, yes, yes."
"Miss, you are wise."
"Get him a doctor." Yu Fei ordered.
She suddenly thought that there was a loophole in the male protagonist during this period, which made it convenient for her to survive.
