Episode 1

It started really strong.

Ji Chu was the Third Prince of Liang but had been more or less banished into the South Border as a hostage since he was very young.  The Royal Family more or less had forgotten him so he bide his time and when he reached his 20th year, he marched into Liang with his strong cavalry of soldiers and killed his way into the palace.

He was unceasing in his mission of revenge.  He even killed Lin Xi Yao who he liked and then he shot his brother, Ji Hun as well.

It was a massacre.

This story was being written by Hua Qing Ge.  She was so happy that she had finished her online novel and was so satisfied that it was so different, the evil lives on.  She thought, this would sell.

She was later woken by so much activity on her computer.  Her fans were telling her off for killing the popular Ji Hun and Xi Yao.

The fans were clamouring that she rewrite the ending,

Qing Ge was very firm with her decision.  She was not going to change anything.  She then went back to bed.  But then she was woken up by her computer who seemed to have cursed her.  A message showed in her screen which was giving her a choice, either change the ending or the current ending will backfire on her,.

Qing Ge laughed it off and turn off the computer.  All she wanted was go back to sleep.  But the computer had a mind of its own and started to rewrite the story from Chapter Three with Qing Ge being now a character in her novel.  It was her wedding night to Ji Chu who came to their marital bed with a sword and stabbed her.

The next thing was another rerun of the scene and this time she was prepared.  Being the author of the novel, she knows it in fine detail, so she was one step ahead of the murderous Ji Chu.

But Ji Chu was determined to have this new bride killed.

The bonus thing was that he does not know how the bride looks like so Qing Ge was able to get away for a while.

Episode 2

Someone helped Qing Ge escaped and was now lodging at Qinya House.  It was the Crown Prince who helped her.

Ji Hun, the Crown Prince is her cousin. Ji Hun assured her that it was only him and his mother who knew how Qing Ge looks like so she could relax.

She relaxed and she realised that Ji Hun and Xi Yao are good people and she should have not killed them.  She promised that when she returned to her timeline, she will rewrite the story.  But as she was in the story already, she will start changing the narrative.

Ji Chu noticed Qingge and was intrigued by her.

Ji Chu was plotting to take down Ji Hun as he would likely to be the head of the East Office.

Episode 3

Qingge is now determined to change the ending or plot of her novel so she was trying to prevent Lady Wu Xue from getting killed and the Crown Prince being blamed for it.

So she asked Ji Hun and Wu Xue for an all night bender.  Qingge got drunk quickly but when she woke up she heard that Wu Xue had died.  Rumours spread that Ji Hun killed Wu Xue.

Qingge was set on uncovering the truth over the death of Wuxue to acquit Ji Hun from the crime.

Ji Chu who was not really intrigued about Qingge paved the way for her.

Episode 4

Lin Xi Yao is a pathologist who is so good at her job.  She noticed something strange about Lady Wu Xue.  She is much older than her supposed 23 years of age.

Of course, she is older.  She kept her appearance young by having possesion of the Glamour Neon Dress that was given to her by Ji Chu to keep her on his side.

Qingge was trying to stir Xi Yao into finding out that Wu Xue took her own life.
