Synopsis

[Set in an Otome Game, but Not an Otome Story]

Li Xiyu is an ordinary office worker who has just managed to make supervisor. After criticizing the Deep Shadow Time-Space game, she is forced to transmigrate into an otome game, unaware that the whole thing is a conspiracy.

Li Xuan, Xiyu’s older brother in the game, always acts a little strangely and sometimes behaves out of character.

After Li Xiyu transmigrates into the game world, she realizes that every male lead seems a little off.

At first

Yun Jue: I want to keep her locked up, where she’ll belong only to me.

Lu Xingchuan: Senior, why can’t I call you Senior Xixi?

Zhang He: Divine Maiden, why don’t you remember me?

Wang Suiyu: What is her relationship with Li Xuan?

Li Yuanqing: You’re not her.

Why doesn’t anyone like the protagonist anymore? How did the world go off track? Something’s wrong. There’s definitely a problem!

She’s only a minor side-character destined to be cannon fodder. How can she survive until the main story begins? It’s hard, so hard, truly impossible!

Later

Yun Jue: Thank you for coming into my life and bringing it a light unlike any other.

Lu Xingchuan: It’s different because it’s her. That’s why I can’t forget her.

Zhang He: On my way back today, I saw flowers being sold by the roadside. I suddenly wanted to bring you a bouquet, so I bought one.

Wang Suiyu: I do like her, but there’s no chance for us anymore. We won’t... meet again.

Li Yuanqing: I never saw her again after that. Sometimes, when I think of her, I still feel a little heartache.

[The story is complete. The author can no longer edit it after completion. It was written a long time ago, so there may be some mistakes that I didn’t catch and correct back then. I’m getting down on my knees to apologize here. I can’t fix them now, but if you spot any problems, please leave a comment.]

Modern Sweet Romance with a Devoted Couple: Both Leads’ First Love!!!

I want a strong female lead. Entertainment-industry stories or ones where she transmigrates into a book are both fine. Her family background can be rich or poor, but she absolutely must have a secret identity and a cocky personality, including in front of the male lead. I don't like cute, clingy female leads. The male lead must be rich, and his secret identity can't be more impressive than hers.

Looking for Stories Where the Female Lead Is an Ordinary Background Character or a Cannon Fodder Side Character. No Overpowered Cheat Skills!

Quick transmigration stories with a sensible protagonist. I want something with a bit of brains, not a story where everyone falls for the heroine. Romance is fine, and so is no romance. The characters should have sound values, and the writing should be decent. If the heroine is loved, I want it to be because of her own charm, not plot armor.

Any Stories with Multiple Male Leads and One Female Lead, but a 1V1 Ending?

Looking for books similar to Lost You Forever. Lots of men love the heroine, but she only has eyes for one person. Lots of emotional entanglements. I like 1v1 romances. I was genuinely devastated after finishing Lost You Forever, but it was so good. What can I say? People love suffering, and I’m one of them.

Looking for Stories Where the Protagonist Enters an Otome Game!!

Stories where the heroine gets transported into a game. I'm not picky about the style. I'd like one where she doesn't know anything about what's going on, though she could also be pretty devious 🌚

Transmigrate into a Book as the Villainess, Avoid the Original Plot, and Stay on Good Terms with the Original Heroine

Looking for books like "The Supporting Female Character Doesn't Want to Follow the Plot". I'm in a reading slump and have recently been loving stories where the supporting female character refuses to follow the original plot. I finally finished this one, which is rare for me. Are there any similar books you'd recommend?
