"Mid-Length Novel Contest"
Synopsis:
Ye Mingyue, a C-list actress, finds herself transported into a hit novel. She gets a System for free, but also has to earn the emperor's favorability. Ye Mingyue is certainly doing her best to complete the mission.
One day, she runs into An Bohou, her childhood friend. He's so charming and dashing that Ye Mingyue can't take her eyes off him. Wouldn't it be wonderful if she could make him her conquest? Ye Mingyue can only wish.
The person beside her is consumed with jealousy and drags her straight into a corner, pinning her against the wall.
"Is he better-looking than me?"
Warm breath brushes Ye Mingyue's ear. Still not understanding what's going on, she nods without thinking. When she senses the mood has shifted, she hurriedly changes her tune. "He's nowhere near as handsome as you! You're as graceful as a jade tree and as beautiful as Pan An himself. Anyone with good taste thinks you're gorgeous."
"I see." The emperor lifts a lock of Ye Mingyue's hair, smells it, and looks at her meaningfully.
The way the emperor looks at her is getting more and more unsettling, as if he might devour her. Ye Mingyue can't figure out what he means and is completely baffled. "???"
Looking at herself and him, Ye Mingyue realizes that she and the emperor switched bodies a long time ago, and still haven't switched back. It's all the fault of that shameless System. If it hadn't malfunctioned, Ye Mingyue wouldn't have had to stay up all night reviewing memorials.
...??? Is this ending a flop or is it unfinished? I'm totally confused.
