* TheSocialDarwinist: The female lead of the 19th arc is one of the Jerk Justifier variant. Course, the author was almost certainly practicing ProtagonistCenteredMorality, so she isn't wrong, even if her lover has to clean up the mess to avoid more narrowly minded people using it as an excuse to pick at her. She tortures and murders the distant descendants of those who sealed her and is justified in doing so because they were weak. She sacrifices countless soldiers because they were weak. She murders the injured soldiers because she doesn't want a superior using it as a reason to file a complaint against her, and she is not only justified in doing so, she is doing them a favor because such weak people will die without amounting to anything, so she sparing them from their worthless existences.

** In the eighth arc, Mingyue tries anything she can to be rid of her sister Ziyue (Su Lüxia) so she can be empress, including blaming everyone else for her wrongdoings and trying to have Ziyue married off to a grotesque young noble. [[spoiler:Su Lüxia turns the tables by killing the noble and pinning the murder on Mingyue, then revealing Mingyue was the one who planned the attack, causing Mingyue to lose her status and be reduced to a palace drudge. To top it off, since the emperor is Su Lüxia's adopted son from a previous arc (and he knows who she really is), there was no romantic element in his choice of empress anyway.]] To make her fate even more karmic, in order to save face after she couldn't prove to Yun Ling that Su Lüxia was having an affair, she pinned all the blame on her servant who was then sold away and died of an illness. Said servant's younger sister was one of the ke

** In the fourteenth arc, [[spoiler: after Yang Zizheng gets arrested and thrown in prison, he finally comes to terms that he does love Su Yaoniang and believes that she hate him and chooses to poison himself in the hopes that they will meet again in the next life.]]

* SurprisinglyEliteCannonFodder: Su Lüxia is renowned as her System's finest agent. She has to be, since her superior and most of her coworkers actively want her dead and have only given up on the {{Uriah Gambit}}s because they didn't work. Even now that they have given up, Su Lüxia still has to make do with subtle methods while other agents get to use GodeMode level System tools that can completely upend the stories they are editing. [[spoiler:A big part of this was because she was originally a cannon fodder character and the agent assigned to her died saving her.]]

** Jing Chen inexplicably allows the stupid female lead of his story to get away with all kinds of mischief without even trying to teach her a lesson. Since the story was unfinished, he became a case of GrewBeyondTheirProgramming and was [[spoiler:actually using her mistakes to sabotage his opponents rather than just mindlessly spoiling her.]]

* PlotHole: If an author doesn't explain a plot detail well enough, the created story world will fill in the gaps, and not necessarily in the way the author intended.

* KillTheGod: In the 20th arc, a female college student transmigrates into the Goddess Artemis and builds herself a harem. Problem is, the first hero she hooks up with already has a pregnant wife. The novel's text just glosses over it, but the created story world resolves the PlotHole via MurderTheHypotenuse. Thus, Su Lüxia is assigned to avenge the murdered queen by killing a goddess in a story based on Greek Mythology. [[spoiler:She uses GeometricMagic from another realm to kill Artemis with her own divine power.]]

** SpiritCultivationGenre novels are more often than not based upon the law of the jungle. The poorly written ones proceed from there to promote ProtagonistCenteredMorality, hence why the heroine of the 19th arc is not only justified in sadistically torturing people for the SinsOfOurFathers, but righteous. Su Lüxia points out that if the novel is really promoting the law of the jungle, then the heroine's original [[SealedBadassInACan sealing]] should also be justice by these standards rather than an injustice against her.

* EnfantTerrible: The female lead of the 18th arc was able to pull off poisonous schemes even as a little kid. The man she tricked into believing himself her father has trouble believing she was the real mastermind partially because of this.

* OutsideContextProblem: What Su Lüxia is to most of her adversaries. Most of them are not aware of anything beyond their own world, and Su Lüxia retains access to many of her abilities, including superhuman strength, even in otherwise completely mundane worlds, making it trivial for her to crush them. The enemies that cause Su Lüxia the most trouble are the ones that figure out the true nature of the multiverse or have Systems of their own.

** In the fourteenth arc, [[spoiler: after Yang Zizhen gets arrested and thrown in prison, he finally comes to terms that he does love Su Yaoning and chooses to poison himself in the hopes that they will meet again in the next life.]]

* DisappropiateRetribution: The 14th arc had the male lead murder the female lead's entire family over her father supposedly taking bribes to give his father the wrong judgement causing his death, while said father only being guilty of neglicence due to a bribed witness rather than having purposely made the wrong judgment.
