It's a transmigration-into-a-book, supernatural, and humorous campus story (not horror/supernatural). The plot is very novel. It tells the story of a female online literature genius who accidentally transmigrates into her own supernatural novel, becoming the bullied, average-looking, and academically average female lead. She then meets the ghost of the academic genius male lead from her own novel, and the two gradually fall in love. Thus begins a hilarious, exciting, and dramatic campus life of complete reversal!

    The author's true emotional narrative, not about the era or the countryside—I didn't even select those two options, and I don't know why it was labeled as a novel based on the author's own life and true diary entries. The female protagonist lives in a family that favors sons over daughters. During junior high school, she suffered from severe depression due to unwarranted beatings and even abuse from her mother. However, limited by her social status, she couldn't escape the control of her family, struggling for half her life in a quagmire of suffering. In the 1990s, the protagonist, due to shyness, lack of courage, and the constraints of her family, missed a deeply unforgettable first love—a love that was initially sweet but later turned heartbreaking, a love that couldn't be reciprocated. They fell in love at the wrong time, when they were both in school, and at the right time, they couldn't express their feelings. In an era without cell phones, they couldn't communicate, and later lost contact, leaving a lingering sense of regret. My acquaintance with him was through his sister, my deskmate. He was admitted to our school the following year, and we were also alumni. Because he and several classmates rented a place at my house, we always hung out together. I thought we were just friends, even thinking we were siblings. Because I felt he was like a younger brother to my deskmate, a younger brother to me. Actually, the seeds of love had already been planted in my heart during those years of companionship in our youth. However, we were both too young to understand love and too shy to express it. In the years that followed, because we only dared to be ambiguous and never dared to make our feelings clear, we missed each other for life.

    Reader note

    The author based this novel on their own life, using their real diary entries. It's not a rural story, and the author didn't categorize it during the writing process; it's a coming-of-age, school-themed novel. The female protagonist lives in a family that favors sons over daughters. During junior high school, she suffered from severe depression due to unwarranted beatings and even abuse from her mother. However, limited by her social status, she couldn't escape the control of her family of origin, struggling for half her life in a quagmire of suffering. The novel depicts the youth, school life, and everyday moments of the 1990s, capturing the anxieties and struggles of growing up. The junior high school content may seem naive; you can skip directly to the high school section.
