   Reader note

   Thank you for your hard work, my dear readers. Please click into the comments section to see the formatted introduction. Whether you read it or not is fine; I'm just trying my best with what I believe are useful, albeit clumsy, methods. Chapter One: The female protagonist transmigrates from modern times to a temple, severely injured. A group of beggars live there, and she gains temporary residency, meeting the male protagonist, who is disguised as the beggar leader. Chapter Two: The female protagonist struggles to survive, finding a way to sell soapberry, a basic material, among the beggars, and gaining their trust. Chapter Three: The female protagonist discovers that her ring from modern times, a gift from her grandmother, has also transmigrated with her. She notices her wounds healing quickly, and it's through these wounds that she discovers the ring's unusual nature. Chapter Four: The male and female protagonists test each other. Chapter Five: The female protagonist learns about the structure of this world from Xiao Bao, whom she meets at the temple, and discovers that the ring is a system. Chapter Six: I wrote about the female protagonist discovering her system, a gold-devouring system, while simultaneously engaging in a risk-free business, having beggars make and sell soap. Chapter Seven: I wrote about how the male protagonist had already seen through many of the female protagonist's actions, noticing her unusual behavior, but choosing not to expose her. Because he also possessed a ring identical to his, he didn't want to alert her. Chapter Eight: I wrote about the male protagonist inviting the female protagonist to the back mountain, where they discussed matters that would lead her to leave the beggar's temple. Chapter Nine: I wrote about the female protagonist leaving in anger, only to find that the male protagonist had his subordinates arrange new clothes and an identity pass for her to enter the city. Chapter Ten: I wrote about the female protagonist entering the city, finding the cheapest inn, and starting a new life. Through the inn's customers, she learned some gossip and made her first fortune in the capital, also selling soap, but of higher quality than that of wealthy families. She gained customer approval, her business boomed, and she even met a wealthy patron, Shen Yanci. Chapter 11: I wrote about the female protagonist starting a new life through Shen Yanci. Chapter 12: I wrote about the female protagonist starting to make samples, impressing the wealthy merchant Shen Yanci. Chapter 13: I wrote about the female protagonist's samples, which also impressed the shopkeepers of Shen Yanci's shop. Chapter 14: I wrote about the female protagonist discussing cooperation with Shen Yanci, but not going into too much detail. Chapter 15: I wrote about the female protagonist delivering the new product. Chapter 16: The new product amazed everyone after its release. Chapter 17: The cooperation was finalized. Chapter 18: The new product launched, becoming a sensation in the capital, and a new character was introduced: the princess, Su Qingyuan, the prime minister's daughter. Chapter 19: The female protagonist became rich. Chapter 20: A sensation throughout the capital. Chapter 21: A one-on-one acquaintance with the princess. Chapter 22: I wrote about the female lead's first visit to the Prime Minister's residence, which was due to Su Qingyuan buying goods. This also unlocked new characters: the Prime Minister's favored concubine Su Lianyi and the Prime Minister's son Su Muyan. Simultaneously, the system detected a shared energy fluctuation within the residence. Chapter 23: I wrote about the princess inviting Su Wan to stroll around the capital. Chapter 24: I wrote about the male lead's scheme against the female lead, intending to play the hero and save her. He arranged for his guards and assassins to kill her, but then discovered a group of real assassins targeting Su Wan. A true hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress scenario ensued, but the male lead also outsmarted her, pretending to be exhausted and injured after the killings, only to be rescued and taken home by the female lead to recover. Afterwards, the two developed a connection. Chapter 25: I wrote about the female lead communicating with the system and discovering that the person with the changed face was actually the former leader, the beggar chief. This provided her with some information. Because the male lead possessed a ring with a related mark, the female lead's ring occasionally resonated with him. In Chapter 26, I wrote that the female lead was being direct, but only halfway through. I didn't reveal everything. I had the male lead cooperate with her. Because she exposed the male lead's "hero saves the beauty" act, and taking advantage of the incident with the assassins arranged by Su Muyan, she specifically had Xiao Hengjin (the male lead) pose as her bodyguard and stay by her side. In Chapter 27, Su Qingyuan wanted to enter the palace, but due to her chronic poor health and pale complexion, she wanted to improve her appearance through makeup, so she invited the female lead. Upon arriving at the Prime Minister's residence, the female lead again felt the ring's agitation. She also noticed the flustered expression of the favored concubine, Su Lianyi, upon seeing Xiao Hengjin. In Chapter 28, the female lead again noticed the flustered expression of the favored concubine, Su Lianyi, upon seeing Xiao Hengjin. In Chapter 29, after returning home, the female lead (Su Wan) asked Xiao Hengjin if he knew Su Lianyi. The male lead admitted that Su Lianyi was his spy planted in the Prime Minister's residence. Chapter 30: Entering the Prime Minister's Mansion, Su Lianyi helps. Taking advantage of the Empress Dowager's birthday, Su Qingyuan's entire family enters the palace. They investigate for the second time. Chapter 31: With Su Lianyi's help, they sneak into the Prime Minister's Mansion and discover clues in the ancient well. Approaching the ring triggers many strange sights. Inside are coffins, skeletons, and an evil formation. Chapter 32: The young master, the female lead's partner, appears. It turns out that the previous chapter's lack of success was due to dealing with some matters in his hometown in Jiangnan. Chapter 33: The young master (Shen Yanci) invites Su Wan to a restaurant for dinner. The male lead encounters them later, showing signs of jealousy but not acting out. Chapter 34: The confession session. Su Wan waits anxiously for Xiao Hengjin to reveal his secret, fearing further delays in returning to the modern world if they don't cooperate in finding the male lead's ring. Therefore, she reveals part of her true identity. Chapter 35: All the men Su Muyan sent out were gone. He failed to steal Su Wan's ring and had been waiting for an opportunity. Finally, he forced Su Wan, Shen Yanci, and Xiao Hengjin to cooperate, as Shen Yanci also harbored a deep hatred for Su Muyan. Thus, Su Wan and Xiao Hengjin were forced to stay at Shen Yanci's residence. Chapter 36: Su Wan, exhausted from a day's journey, was hungry and rolled around in bed. She accidentally dropped her ring on the bedding (the ring itself had a protective function for its host). Without the ring, she went to the kitchen to find food, where she was drugged and carried away. Chapter 37: Su Wan was poisoned by a Gu poison, but this chapter only states that Su Muyan took her to the dungeon; it doesn't explain the poisoning, though subtle actions are mentioned. This is not apparent without reading Chapter 38. The group went to rescue her, but inexplicably, Su Wan was released. Chapter 38: After Su Wan returned, some strange changes occurred. For example, she wasn't as energetic as before, and she made frequent mistakes. People around her assumed it was due to fear after being captured. Chapter 39: The Prime Minister's wife made things difficult for Su Lianyi. First, let me clarify something: I did use AI editing because it was my first time writing and I didn't understand the rules. I first manually wrote it and then let it edit it. I thought it was better than my own writing, so I kept the edited chapters. I also made some appropriate modifications. However, I now realize I've made a mistake. I originally planned to finish writing it and then manually edit it all myself. But now, with over 730,000 words, I feel exhausted. So, please accept my utmost apology. However, I beg everyone to believe me: I genuinely created the story purely from my own mind, not by piecing together content. The foreshadowing and plot were all things I thought of while staying up all night. I thought about it during my free time at work and after work. Sometimes, when my mind was blank, I would scroll through Douyin (TikTok). I didn't read other people's novels; I didn't want to imitate them, for fear of being accused of plagiarism. I noticed this issue is quite common on Douyin (TikTok), and the reputation is bad. Although my writing isn't great, the content is genuinely something I figured out myself. Now that I've written this far, I feel the female lead has had it too easy, so I plan to give her a hard time later. Thank you all for reading patiently. I'm extremely grateful.

    I'm recommending a book I wrote on Tomato Bookstore—*Cao's Heroic Bear*. First, the downsides: it's slow-paced, and the first 500,000 words might deter many readers. Second, the upsides: everyone who persevered has no regrets. The protagonist transmigrates into Cao Cao's son, Cao Xiong, with no system or cheat codes, starting from infancy. Yes, literally an infant—still breastfeeding. While other Three Kingdoms novels recruit soldiers in three chapters and bestow titles in five, my protagonist is still learning how to survive in Cao Cao's household after 500,000 words.

    I feel like my first book is going to flop, it's going to get absolutely no traffic [frustrated]. But I think the world-building and plot are pretty good. The plot might be a little hard to understand at first, but once you get it, it's still a good read. The writing style isn't bad either, but it just doesn't get any traffic [smirking]. Does that mean original works just don't get any traffic? [Crying]

    My work is the novel *Under the Evil World* by Tomato Novels. I'm not a Chinese Language and Literature major, so I can't write exceptionally well. I only care about readership; I don't seek royalties. If you'd like to take a look at my work, you can first find Chapter 2, "The Novelist's Determination," where I'll explain my creative philosophy. As for whether this book is a masterpiece or not, that's for the readers to decide! The story has a main text and side stories framework. The main text is supernatural and suspenseful, while the side stories encompass various styles. The author appears as a character in the book, providing humor but not interfering with the plot. My writing isn't the best! Please forgive me!
