I Keep Getting Killed in Novels

[No danmei romance. There may be some ambiguous tension between the cousin and a deputy minister, because the cousin once saved him, so his strange look makes the cousin read too much into it. They're both straight men, so proceed with that in mind.]

After the System notified Chi Yu that she had to save the world, she said, “Are you trying to make it end faster?”

After transmigrating into a book, she meets a group of fascinating people. What makes them so fascinating? Take a look.

Chi Zhaozhao, the capital's most talented young woman: “From now on, let's speak in code.”

Jiang Xuan, the irreverent playboy: “Actually, I'm reborn.”

Bai Zhiqing, the real fool: “I was always a peerless genius.”

Nan Chu, the naive sweetheart: “This family can't get by without me.”

Nan Qingci, the haughty princess: “I don't usually curse people, because none of you are people.”

As for the last one, I really just tripped over something. It's not like I have a crush on you.

In the capital, where everyone schemes against everyone else, she's doomed from the start? No problem. Chi Yu will start a Beggars' Gang. Why should she be afraid of taking on the others?

She thought that once the mission was over, she would have to say a final goodbye to them. But then the System came back and sent her into a novel she'd written herself. If she completed it, she'd have a chance to bring them back to life.

Chi Yu: “I wrote an infinite-flow horror story, didn't I?”

What she never expected was that the characters in the novel would be them.
