I Woke Up in a Book as the Lovelorn Heroine’s Hapless Best Friend

[Crime-solving + period setting + no relocation to the countryside + episodic cases + System + romance]

Policewoman Zhou Shuping transmigrates into a novel full of melodrama, toxic relationships, and all kinds of “criminally” outrageous schemes.

The heroine is a once-in-a-century white lotus, remaining kind and wonderful despite being surrounded by the malice of the entire world.

The hero is consumed by past grievances and selectively ignores every police officer, determined to use his “sheer strength” to make his “enemy’s son” pay.

The villain is ruthless and vindictive, and ultimately dies alone in a courtyard house worth billions, abandoned by everyone.

Zhou Shuping, meanwhile, transmigrates into the role of one of the heroine’s three best friends. According to the original plot, she’s supposed to accompany the heroine to the countryside, be poor on her behalf, raise her child for her, and die for her. Zhou Shuping can only say, “Well, damn.” She turns around, clings to her mother, and cries, staying away from the heroine and changing her fate of being sent to the countryside.
