Past Plays a Big Role
where the past(events before the novel) of the protagonist impacts significant on the plot of novel. Whether for a single arc or throughout the story.
Before the Descent of the Apocalyptic Game:
The world pitied Wang Jiu. Cheated on, divorced, and forced into a remote, backwater county town, she appeared to be the frailest, most miserable woman on earth.
After the Descent of the Apocalyptic Game:
Her ex-husband watched his former wife effortlessly thrash muscular men and annihilate the Boss, acting as the MVP of the entire battlefield. He wasn’t surprised in the least. After all, this was a woman who had silently drafted a plan to murder her husband and dispose of the body. He later learned the murder plan was a fabrication, but the fact that she had seduced his mistresses into betraying him for her was very real.
A lifetime of loyalty to her clan and its leader earned her nothing but false accusations of espionage and the death of her family.
At the brink of despair, Sehwa experiences a miracle.
“So, what do you think of this proposal?”
She opens her eyes to find herself back at the very moment she was betrothed to the man she admired.
The same man who, despite her unwavering trust, had mercilessly poured poison down her throat.
Determined to avoid the tragic path she once walked, Sehwa chooses a different, yet equally thorny, road.
“I will go to the Baek Clan. But please, rescind the order for me to be betrothed to the Young Lord.”
She seeks refuge with the very man she had considered her enemy all her life—the only one who can now offer her salvation.
Yue Du lived for twenty-some years, only to realize after death that she was actually a System, a certified, bonafide partner in a quick-transmigration story.
To earn points and grant her wish, Yue Du travels to various small worlds to find big boss villains to serve as her hosts. Systems and hosts are always tied to missions; if you don’t do the mission, you don’t get points. But why are these villainous young ladies so… unmotivated?
No, it’s clearly a case of false advertising. Why aren’t they the original villains at all?!
Modern Esper World: “Sloth” half-closes her eyes: “Destroying the world is so tiring. I don’t want to.”
Western Fantasy World: “Lust” smiles seductively: “I am the continent’s number one Dharma Saint. Why would I bother troubling that little apprentice when I have nothing better to do?”
Cultivation World: “Pride” looks on coldly: “This Venerable One has cultivated for a millennium, and my heart is already still as water. Why must I seek immortality?”
Interstellar Sentinel/Guide World: “Wrath” scoffs: “There are plenty of ways to control this world. Why would I choose the one that takes twice the effort for half the result?”
Yue Du ponders: “…”
Yue Du whispers: “That… actually makes a lot of sense?”
