Synopsis

[Elite school + transmigrate into a book + silly comedy + everyone's favorite + mind reading + unhinged antics + Mary Sue + so awkward you'll curl your toes]

[Beautiful, scatterbrained background-character school belle * aloof, proud, highly intelligent big bad]

Shi Ran transmigrates into an old-school Mary Sue novel, becoming the background-character school belle who is killed for her beauty.

She gets a new lease on life, only to be greeted by a countdown to her death. Shi Ran: “What the hell?!”

To avoid being killed, Shi Ran diligently disguises herself as an utterly ordinary student. Every day, she goes to school, watches the gossip, and checks out handsome guys and beautiful girls. She can't imagine being any happier!

Freshly transmigrated into the book, Shi Ran sees a boy being bullied and shaken down in an alley. Shi Ran: [Hang on, I'll go get help!]

Yu Xingyan doesn't even blink before punching the bullies to the ground.

When she sees the original heroine being bullied by a cannon-fodder character, Shi Ran thinks: [There's no camera here. If it were me, I'd just lie down immediately. I wouldn't ask for seventy or eighty thousand, but surely I could get seven or eight thousand.]

The original heroine: Enlightened! She lies down and wails!

When the original male lead and his sidekick cause a crowd in the cafeteria, Shi Ran broods: [Two eyes, one mouth, one nose, two legs. A crowd of onlookers surrounds these monkeys. Let's see who's better than who.]

The original male lead and his sidekick: Thanks, we definitely felt that insult!

One day, Shi Ran lifts her head from the sea of homework and realizes: Wait, why has the original plot changed??

Yu Xingyan discovers a strange girl. For some reason, he can always hear her voice. He silently watches her...

And then he falls for her...

Oh my god, who knew this book was just... Oh my god, how could it be so hilarious?! It's going to make me laugh my teeth out! I can understand the female lead going crazy, but seriously! The four most handsome guys in school and even the original female lead are all going insane, breaking free from the plot's control. I've been laughing so hard reading this whole thing!

It's so good! I stayed up all night and still couldn't finish it, so I continued reading the next day. I usually hate scripts that are controlled by the plot, but this one is really different. The series of hilarious things they do to fight against the plot have me laughing all the time. There's no angst at all, I laughed from beginning to end. The last few chapters are sweet daily life of love, both characters are virgins, and it has a happy ending!

I haven't read such a good book in a long time. I really enjoyed the interactions between Ranran and Xingxing. At first, I thought Xingxing was going to compete with F4. I thought: if it turned into a power struggle later on, I would drop the book because I've read too many of this type and didn't want to read any more.

Ah!!! I read it too fast, it's already over! I'm still a little unsatisfied! This book has a genre I've never read before, it's very novel, which means I'm very interested in it. I didn't expect it to be over in just half a day. The story of this novel is very special. It's about a female protagonist who dies and transmigrates into an old-fashioned Mary Sue novel.

This book is absolutely amazing! I don't know why it only got such a low rating. The characters are so vivid, and my favorite is definitely the female lead, especially when she's internally complaining—it cracks me up! The emotions of the characters are portrayed so delicately, which I really enjoyed.

This is a great book. The beginning, when the F4 and the original female lead could all hear her thoughts, was really funny; I laughed so hard I squealed in bed in the middle of the night (though maybe it's just because I have a low threshold for laughter 🤭). Later, when only the male lead could hear her, it became less interesting, merely a tool to advance the relationship.

Shi Ran and Yu Xingyan... Hehe, that's awesome! 😍 Qiao Yi and Yin Huan are so cute too! After the main characters and everyone else awakened, they all have their own unique characteristics, and they're all clear-headed and no longer controlled by the plot. That's really great! 🫶🏻

🤦🤦🤦🤦The haunted house scene cracked me up. Hahaha. All the main characters were scared away by the female lead. It was so good. It's just too short.

Wishing Ranran and Xingxing happiness 🥰 And wishing everyone happiness 🥰 Tears welled up in my eyes as I read the bonus chapter; I was so happy and touched. Seeing the wedding photos really made me realize that five years have passed. Thinking back to when we first met, Ranran was the girl who painted her entire body black, and Xingxing was still the aloof Xingxing.

The female protagonist transmigrates into a novel as a background character who is destined to die young, a school beauty. To avoid this early death plot, she deliberately makes herself look ugly to attend school. The male protagonist is the villain in the book and can hear the female protagonist's thoughts.
