(The story moves at a slower pace. The end of Chapter One contains a content warning.)
To cover her grandmother's exorbitant medical bills, Chen Zhiyan, a newly graduated, painfully shy introvert, grits her teeth and signs a “low risk, high return” contract with a tech company to take part in its latest full-sensory virtual reality experiment.
But just five minutes after the experiment begins... the System crashes.
Chen Zhiyan's consciousness is trapped inside a pure-love novel. She can't return to the real world unless she completes the plot.
Under pressure from the System, Chen Zhiyan has no choice but to force herself into the role.
World One: The Butterfly Lovers
Her script: bully and dominate the male leads, and serve as the catalyst for their romance.
But once she starts acting, both male leads corner her against a wall. “You keep provoking us. Which one of us are you trying to bully?”
World Two: A Ghost Story of a Handsome Young Man
She's decided to lie flat, ready to be physically exorcised by the male leads in an infinite-flow world.
But... is this really the right way to “exorcise” her?
World Three: Palace Intrigue
Transmigrated into the body of a little eunuch, she follows the plot diligently, praying the powerful men will go easy on her.
But the plot races ahead, straight into the unspeakable zone...
World Four: A Trial in the Immortal Realm
She's landed another villainess role, and Chen Zhiyan has completely given up. “Whoever wants to do it can do it. I'm done.”
Now here's the problem:
Just as the bug is finally fixed, the tech company sends a crisis response specialist to retrieve her, an unintended variable in the project.
Why have the male leads followed her back, too?
It's a bit depressing. That 4️⃣ system is basically forcing the female lead to assimilate into the villain. The desire to go home and the adherence to morality... When will it get sweet? Liang is my favorite character here. I hope they clear up the misunderstanding soon! 😢 Some people think Liang is bad, that he's too deserving, but I think he's very vivid.
I'm so heartbroken 😣... The book is good, and the female lead is vivid, kind, and likable (I personally don't like socially awkward characters, so I didn't really like the female lead at first, but the plot development was quite interesting and kept me reading). Now I seriously suspect that most of my liking for the female lead is out of pity.
This review and my suggestions represent only my personal opinion. Please don't be offended if you disagree. I was attracted by the synopsis, and then I read nine chapters of this novel, which has a total of 69 chapters, all telling the story of one world. It's a quick transmigration novel, so it's understandable if there are major events and developments later on.
I support the author continuing to write; I really like this genre, but I have something to say. Since the female lead is participating in the experience, she should know this world is fake, right? And to feel so guilty towards the NPC (the pageboy) she only met once is a bit over the top. She's in so much trouble herself, how can she have time to pity others? It's too realistic.
First, the advantages: the female lead isn't the only one disguised as a man to study at the academy; there's also Cui, and Liang from the teacher's memories (I'm guessing)? This aspect kept me interested. Next, let's talk about my impressions: The female lead is the timid type, but why is one of the male leads, Liang, written with such a high degree of deference?
The plot flows smoothly, and the writing style is natural and engaging. I really like this kind of smooth writing style. I hope the author continues to update and doesn't give up just because there aren't many readers yet. 💕💕💕💕 Good novels will be seen by more people.
This is so beautiful! The OS Doubao (a web browser app) generated this teacher's contact information for me! [Requesting more updates!][Bump this post!]
It's so good! Every character is described with incredible detail, and I especially love the analysis of their emotions (maybe because I personally pay more attention to the transitions between emotions, but the author's writing is simply superb; every transition is perfect). I will continue to follow this author! 😢
I love the feeling of a complete storyline and character guides (x). I don't usually like quick transmigration novels because the plot develops too quickly and the romance is unclear, but this one completely changed my mind. To be honest, the way the characters take turns being served food is like an otome game (okay, okay). The writing is also excellent, goddess, please update soon! 😢😢
It's so well-written! There's a lot of description of Heng Yan, and I'm really curious about him. I think it's a normal novel as long as it's not too angsty. I especially like Liang; he feels very alive. I didn't feel anything for Wen; he wasn't described much and didn't leave a deep impression. Zhu was just so-so, kind of a background character, haha.
