" Blood splattered all across the garden. The head of the girl rolled on the grass. Dark, red blood, tainted with her sins took the role of a brush, painting the last stroke of her life. Was she ' an unfortunate soul in search of a warm embrace ' , or perhaps ' a demon that made others suffer for her entertainment ' ?
The men responsible for her rushed ending certainly believed the latter. One took her head, that was now staring with lifeless half lidded eyes at the moon above. One twisted his sword in the headless body, shattering her still heart to pieces before taking the bloody blade back and sheathing it. One had cut the sword free by laterally slashing her waist from the inside and out. And a sole pair of regretful eyes watched it all unfold from the roof of the academy. "
Pathetic and foolish. Sad and cruel. That was how the author of the book wanted to portray the death of the main antagonist. The villainess. She fell at the hands of the one she loved, and at the ones she wronged. But the reality strays from what the author tried to convey, and instead the ending of the book was nothing short of frustrating to the readers.
" Yes, keep pursuing the man that hates your guts and wants to kill you. See where that gets you " sarcasm, and a sigh were spoken from dry lips and before the velvety covers of the book were closed.
' The blossoming white lily ' was a book that attracted attention amongst the young adults. A wuxia book. Talking about the granddaughter of the Heavenly sword sect's leader going to an academy to hone her skills with her childhood friend. However the academy accepted not only the orthodox sects, but also the unorthodox ones. And so the villainess shined through as the antagonist coming from the Demonic Sect as the leader's daughter. She was cunning and smart. But smitten with the female main character's childhood friend and, like a typical female antagonist, she started bullying the main character that was always around her 'sweetheart'.
Ultimately, the villainess wanted to kill the main character for getting in the way of her plan of seducing her crush, and that led to nothing else but ending up beheaded by the person she one-sidedly loved in the same location she planned to kill the main character. A turn of events, if nothing else.
" It would have been a better book if the antagonist wasn't so blinded by love." a different voice, yet holding the same frustrating tone rang in the bedroom suffocated by a multitude of plushies. So much so that the vessels of the voices. the two young women stood on the carpeted ground, since the whole bed was a kingdom of toys that were better left undisturbed, or so they reckoned.
" It's not even love, Anne, " the woman said and looked towards her rose-colored hair friend, Lyianne, who was still looking blankly at the wall, trying to digest the death of the brilliantly thought out but poorly written villainess. ", she just liked how he looked. But that's hardly a motive to pursue him after seeing that he doesn't even see her as a person, but a spawn of evil-"
" That she is. " Anne completed
" That she is, " the woman supplemented with a nod " ,but you see my point right? I mean she was brilliant enough to outsmart anyone in the academy but as soon as it comes to him she is worse than a typical, boring, run of the mill character. " the complainings did not seem to stop only vocally, no, the very dissatisfied reader of ' The blossoming white lily ' quickly accessed the internet and found herself writing an unappreciative review of the book.

And exactly that less than adequate rating had invited her to write her own ending of the book as she sees fit, to replay and dissect every scene and every arc of the book, starting with the very first one, where the villainess kills most of her other siblings that would pose a threat in her ascension to the rank of the sect leader later on, as the villainess herself.
