Seeking Buddha

When I was eight, my mother died of illness. I threw myself in front of the Grand General’s horse and sold myself for the price of a coffin. When I was sixteen, the General’s Mansion was seized and searched. I collapsed beneath the execution platform at Meridian Gate and caught the general’s severed head as it rolled down. But later, to protect the General’s Daughter after her identity was exposed, I drank poison and died. Only as I was dying did I learn that I was nothing more than a cannon-fodder loyal servant in a story. And the Female Lead I had sacrificed myself for would fall in love with the Male Lead, the son of her enemy. In the end, she would let go of her hatred, and the lovers would have their happy ending. After awakening, I joined forces with the Second Male Lead and won over the Third Male Lead, all so I could live long enough to take revenge. But the power of the plot forced me back to the same ending: poison burning through my veins. Before I died, someone told me, “Xi Ru, remember this: the ending will not change.”
