Angst author × her male lead (neither has been with anyone else)
The heroine does return to the real world in the end. She doesn’t stay in the book, so please take note if that’s a dealbreaker~
On an ordinary night spent writing, Su Yinian finished yet another angsty novel and was just about to relax when she saw a woman reflected in the window, sword in hand, stabbing toward her. She spun around and, just like that, transmigrated!
Not only did Su Yinian transmigrate, she also became the heroine of the first angsty novel she had written back in school. Other transmigrators either get a golden finger or remember the plot. She got neither, and had long since forgotten everything about the book.
She keeps thinking about dying so she can transmigrate back, while worrying that any mistake might derail the plot. Every day, she laments being stuck as the heroine of an angsty novel and swears she’ll never write another one.
But fate has other plans. Every time Su Yinian reaches the gates of death, the male lead, Jiang Yue, drags her back, forcing her to continue her life as the heroine of an angsty story. As time goes by, she even starts to wonder if her life outside the book was just a dream, and if she has always been Shen Chu…
Su Yinian (failed-to-die edition): “Wait, why did you save me again?”
Jiang Yue: “She’s risked her life to save me over and over. She must love me so much.”

Su Yinian (successfully-died edition): “When I wanted to leave, you wouldn’t let me. Now that I’ve finally decided to stay, you go and die on me.”
