How could she be so innocent?
Even though she was switched to the Marquis Mansion and became so-called noble daughter, she only enjoyed a few years of wealth.
Later, when the Marquis Mansion was accused of crimes, she suffered alongside the Marchioness, and even disfigured her face to save the Marchioness.
Finally, when the Marquis Mansion’s injustices were cleared, she became the "wildcat in ’The Wildcat and the Crown Prince’"!
"Ah, Wei Yuanniang really had a rough time, no wonder some readers sympathized and filed complaints!"
A very good work was complained about due to this minor plot detail, forcing Dian Niang Book Library to send a writer to make revisions.
Thus, the first writer came along.
Her target for time-traveling, naturally, was Wei Yuanniang.
After time-traveling, Wei Yuanniang, familiar with the plot, thus began her stunning reverse.
The process was exhilarating, but it turned the main framework of the plot into a mess, nearly erasing the male lead.
And the male and female leads are the pillars holding up the novel’s world; if something happened to the male lead, the entire Small World would be at risk of collapsing.
Therefore, the first writer failed.
Then came the second writer. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ noᴠelfire.net
This person learned from the predecessor’s mistakes, didn’t go on a killing spree, but instead started cooperating with the male lead.
She was kind, she was gentle, and she even used products bought from Dian Niang Mall to help the original character restore her appearance, and then—
Err, there was no more then.
Suddenly, the novel’s world issued a warning of collapsing!
The second writer was completely baffled: she hadn’t opposed the male lead or female lead, and hadn’t altered the main plot, so how could it have endangered the whole Small World?!
"...If it weren’t for your experience in the last world, Tiantian, the system wouldn’t even know about it."
"It’s precisely because of your discovery that the system speculated: perhaps Wei Yuanniang had awakened too!"
Student Xiao D chattered non-stop by He Tiantian’s ear.
"Dian Niang Book Library isn’t unfamiliar with awakened characters, but, those are mostly male and female leads, or important supporting characters."
But Wei Yuanniang, let’s not even mention being a leading female, she wasn’t even a Female Supporting Character.
At most, she was a minor character with a name.
Her awakening could actually affect the stability of the entire novel’s world was something even the system hadn’t predicted.
"Apart from this plot segment, the novel is actually very good. The system doesn’t want such a great work to be removed, so it hopes to save it one more time!"
"Of course, as this mission is rather challenging, the points are very substantial. Additionally, the writer has some autonomy—"
Student Xiao D continued explaining.
He Tiantian nodded slowly, "I get it now! Is it still an open-ended mission this time? Just ensuring the survival of the novel’s world suffices?"
"That’s right! Tiantian, this mission is indeed more troublesome than the last because the awakened Wei Yuanniang has turned dark—"
Student Xiao D shook his round body slowly, continuing to speak.
"You mentioned earlier about the strong autonomy for this mission?" He Tiantian suddenly asked.
"Yes! Because it’s challenging, and also since there have already been two failures, the system won’t be too rigid. As long as the Small World’s stability can be ensured and the work can be relisted, the writer can have free rein!"
Student Xiao D obediently answered.
"Can I change the character I travel to?"
"Huh? The character for time-traveling?"
"Yes, Student Xiao D, don’t forget, I am a ’villain specialist’, and Wei Yuanniang isn’t exactly a villain. At most, she’s just a pitiful sacrificial lamb." A smile flickered in He Tiantian’s eyes.
Student Xiao D was slightly taken aback, as Tiantian was once again taking the initiative to play the villain.
Of course, Student Xiao D was no longer the naive sweetheart it once was.
Upon quick reflection, it realized, "Tiantian, you’re not thinking of traveling as Gu Xiuniang, and also want to move the time-travel point to before the child switch, are you?"
"No way; the ’child switch’ must occur, otherwise, the entire plot collapses."
Without "The Mongoose Takes the Crown Prince," how would the ’Crown Prince’ grow up among the common folk?
And how would he grow up and fall in love with the female lead?
Also, some subsequent plots would be impacted.
Gu Xiuniang’s mother-in-law made great achievements because of the "child switch," and later turned against her daughter-in-law in the name of justice.
She indeed represents the ’loyal servant’!
Without the "child switch," with what would this ’loyal servant’ demonstrate her loyalty?!
Student Xiao D, somewhat anxious, jumped up and shouted.
"The time-travel point doesn’t need to be moved forward; let whatever must happen, like the ’child switch,’ proceed normally. I simply request to travel as Gu Xiuniang!"
He Tiantian glanced at the fuming Student Xiao D, huh, knew it, all this "autonomy" talk was just a sham.
Of course, He Tiantian understood as well.
If it were possible to change the main storyline at will, this novel’s world would have already collapsed, and there would be no need for a writer to come to the rescue.
