Rebirth of "Evil Girls": Making up for all the mistakes made in the past
Among the heroines who have been reborn, many are truly "evil girls". They are selfish, vicious, and do all kinds of bad things, and in the end they have a tragic ending. . After rebirth, they usually repent and decide to change their ways in the second life and make different choices from the previous life. For example, the heroine Jiang Xuening (played by Bai Lu) in "Ning'an is Like a Dream", in her previous life, she betrayed and used many people by any means for power, and finally became the queen as she wished, but died tragically in the end, so after her rebirth, she decided to " I will never enter the palace again in this life."

A major feature of the rebirth setting is that the protagonist retains the memory of his previous life and can predict what will happen in advance and take preventive actions. This dual The narrative brings a different kind of refreshment to the audience. In the play, the protagonists who have opened their eyes have a "God's perspective". When faced with choices, they know the consequences of different choices, so they often make the right decisions to make up for the regrets of their previous lives.
But the plot will not be so smooth. Subtle changes will also produce a butterfly effect. After the audience is entertained through the "God's perspective" in the early stage, the plot will turn. For example, the protagonist discovers that no matter how hard he tries, he cannot change the ending. Or you may find that everything is out of control and you have no way of predicting what will happen next. At this point, the protagonist is truly in crisis, and the "evil girls" in the previous life are now facing the final test. Can they really make up for their past mistakes? Can you still keep your original intention? This series of suspense has greatly increased the watchability of the series, and also increased the audience's stickiness to follow the series, making the broadcast effect better and better.
