   Because it's so good, it's a story about an ancient princess who transmigrates to a modern, female-dominated world, with a 1v3 dynamic: a substitute, imprisonment, forced love, an attempt to escape marriage, her true identity revealed, and her capture. It features a transmigrated protagonist with a powerful cheat ability, a pampered and enjoyable story, and a pregnancy-themed runaway.

   That evening, Yang Qun and her daughter dined with Zhao Fu and his wife. Zhao Fu took a slow sip of his wine and said, "Yang Qun, you're also planning to repair the house. You've opened a shop outside these past few years, and you're certainly better off than Zhao Hua and his family. Zhao Hua and his family are still crammed into one house. Feiwa is all grown up now, and their house was damaged in the earthquake. They still plan to repair the house, but they're short on money. Could you lend them 100,000 yuan?" Hearing her father-in-law's words, Yang Qun thought about how she and her husband could only sleep three or four hours a night in the winter, their hands covered in chilblains, and how they scrimped and saved to repair the house. Her father-in-law casually arranged to lend his eldest son 100,000 yuan, and she was furious. At home, Zhao Hua either fishes for eels or uses electrofishing, or drinks with his cronies, or sits at someone's house bragging. He doesn't work hard when he should be earning money, claiming the family can't make any. She and Zhao Liang found him a job, and he only brought a few changes of clothes when he arrived. Even his daily necessities like a washbasin, towel, toothpaste, and toothbrush were provided by Zhao Liang. But what happened? Zhao Hua stayed for five days and then went back. His reason? The job wasn't free, comfortable, or hard work; the supervisor was controlling him. He didn't even say goodbye, just went back to Hong County and then called them to say he'd resigned and would never work again. Now that his family needs to repair their house and can't afford it, he's eyeing their money, asking for 100,000 yuan right away. He didn't even dare to ask himself, having his father-in-law do it instead. Where were they before? Their money didn't grow on trees. No one should even think about taking the money Yang Qun worked so hard to earn! Moreover, Zhao Hua and his wife only have one daughter, Zhao Yao, at home. They've never seemed to treat their daughter well. When Shulan went to the market and bought some fried dough sticks, she did it without Zhao Yao's knowledge, not even offering him a single one, as if afraid he'd ask for them. Such a lack of affection! Now that they need help, they only think of their brother and his wife. Yang Qun grew increasingly angry, but after much deliberation, he said calmly...

   Hehe~ This is my first book, and I don't want to give up! I've tried many different writing styles. If you've never seen a newbie struggle, come and take a look! It includes original tropes, old tropes, and new tropes—my imagination is so wild it scares even myself. (No drafts; you know the plot an hour before the readers.) You can skip the first dozen or so chapters (it's a bit formulaic, with some AI assistance, and it still feels strange even after three revisions). The later chapters are purely handwritten and completely unrestrained. Welcome everyone to give it a try, especially language arts teachers (I'm very confident in this book; I can easily compile a hundred-page collection of grammatical errors).

   It flopped? Yes, it flopped. 600,000 Words, zero reviews, not even on the bestseller list. Why am I still writing? Because the setting isn't finished yet—the seventeen realms have only just reached the Golden Core stage, the 108 forces have just begun to emerge, and the ninefold spacetime has only just started. Qi frequency, Qi pattern programming, the Void Network—no one has written about these things before. I dug these holes myself, so I have to fill them myself. Data is data, and the world is the world. It may have flopped, but the logic hasn't collapsed, and the imagination is still alive. On the day it's finished, at least I can be proud of myself.
