After Qin Ying’s sacrifice in duty, she transmigrated into an old-fashioned tragedy novel as the vicious supporting female character. The original character was obsessively in love with the male lead, falling from her noble status as a county princess to become the laughingstock of the capital. In her desperation to win over the male lead, she used her privileged status to falsely accuse the female protagonist of murder, leading to her downfall—her family was raided, and she was imprisoned and tormented. Just as she was about to take the female lead’s life, the male lead uncovered the truth, swooped in to rescue the heroine, and then, in a dramatic twist, took the villainous female’s life with a single sword strike.

Qin Ying: “…The plot is thrilling but completely illegal!”

Luckily, the story was only at the point of the murder case’s occurrence. The eldest daughter of Earl Zhongyuan’s household, set to be married, was found dead in a blood-red dress at her birthday banquet. The young men and women attending the event had their secrets, and all clues pointed directly at the original female lead.

To change the course of the story, Qin Ying stepped in to clear the female lead’s name and investigate the true culprit behind the murder. With her sharp mind and determination, she made a name for herself, and what was once a melodramatic tragedy transformed into a thrilling detective novel!

Soon, nobles sought her aid to overturn injustices, the common people revered her as a beacon of fairness, and what was once a laughingstock of the imperial city became its most respected figure.

Qin Ying was focused on her career and refused to play the role of an obstacle in the romance between the protagonists. Yet, the female lead, who once despised her, now wished to become sworn sisters with her. The male lead, who once hated her deeply, now frequently showed affection. Even the formidable, tragic villain of the original novel held unshakable feelings for her.

Determined to completely free herself from the identity of a “vicious supporting character,” Qin Ying gritted her teeth and chose the big villain.

T/N: The ‘yin,’ which means tassels, in the title is derived from Qin Ying’s name, so this story is about Qin Ying ‘washing’ or redeeming herself.
