Synopsis

Wen Jiu was a quirky, hilarious girl from the twenty-first century. After staying up all night to finish a girls' love novel, she was so furious she wanted to jump into the book and slap someone.

Then she really did trip, and died.

When she opened her eyes again, she'd transmigrated into the novel that had sent her blood pressure through the roof. She'd become a background character and was bound to a ridiculous System.

Point of transmigration into the book: the first day the female lead, Ji Xingling, caught Lin Yan's eye.

The System's alert chimed: [Host, first scene of the original plot: Lin Yan “bumps into” Ji Xingling. It starts in three minutes.]

Wen Jiu slapped her cheeks and grinned. “Got it. I'll get to Ji Xingling before Lin Yan and whisk her away.”

Sporting a cool mullet and carrying her ridiculous System, she charged straight into the plot and stopped Ji Xingling in her tracks. “Senior, your forehead says trouble is coming. Looks like a rotten romance is about to entangle you. Want to come with me?”

Ji Xingling glanced up coolly at this bizarre stranger.

Wen Jiu grinned brightly. “I'm different. I only rob you of your money, not your virtue.”

Ji Xingling ignored her.

But Wen Jiu stuck to her like glue. She couldn't be shaken off or driven away, and every day she found a new way to be nice to her.

Ji Xingling went from cold and distant at first, to unconsciously following her with her eyes, and finally

Her gaze at Wen Jiu gradually grew possessive, with a hint of madness.

Meanwhile, Wen Jiu was still happily telling the System, “Hehe, Ji Xingling and I are best friends now!”

The System fell silent.

It watched Ji Xingling slowly curl her lips into a smile where Wen Jiu couldn't see, her eyes growing darker by the day.

[Host, are you sure you understand what the word ‘best friend’ means...?].

It's quite good, but I hope there won't be a plot where the female lead stubbornly refuses to admit she likes someone, only to be hurt and then "suddenly realize her mistake." Since you've had her emphasize many times that she's there to protect someone, if the person she's supposed to protect ends up hurting her, it leaves a very bad impression, regardless of the reason.

This is so good! The author's writing skills are getting better and better! 😄 I've read many novels where the female lead treats this as a mission to return to her original world or get money, which is normal, but it still makes me uncomfortable. However, Wen Jiu is determined to stay for Ji Xing Leng, and the system is also very helpful, constantly reminding Wen Jiu of her feelings for Ji Xing Leng without giving her the option to return to her original world (is this a personal quirk? 😄)

The characters are well-developed and the plot is fast-paced. I feel the author's writing style is getting better and better. I can't wait for the rest of the story! 😘 More and more people are liking this book now! I'm so happy that so many people enjoy it, teacher! 😍

To be honest, it wasn't my preferred pace. I personally felt it was a bit too fast, and some emotions felt somewhat abrupt and not very nuanced. However, I think the author probably intended to write a short story. If it was written as a short story, then there's nothing wrong with it, and the writing style isn't bad at all. Overall, the book is quite good, although it wasn't to my taste.

Well, here's a small suggestion: Wen doesn't need to emphasize so many times that they're just friends, and she keeps avoiding the conversation with the system. A more nuanced approach would be better; too much of it can be a little off-putting to readers. Also, there's not much explanation of why Wen keeps avoiding the topic, leaving readers wondering what she's worried about. It's a bit confusing.

It's super good, but it feels a bit too bland (?). It's just the same three points every day, and life feels a bit too repetitive. I'm curious though, are Lin Jingye and the female lead a couple? But overall, it's still very good. A guided romance, I'm totally shipping them!! φ(-ω-*)
