The full manuscript is already written, and paragraph comments are open. I'm still updating regularly, but sometimes a chapter is under 3,000 words and doesn't earn any fan flowers. Rolling around and acting cute, please add it to your collection, mwah~ Sob, please give the author one!
As the youngest daughter of a Duke's estate, Second Miss Wang Jingguang lives a very comfortable life.
Her father the Duke isn't much to speak of, but her stepmother and birth mother have joined forces and support each other. They not only dote on her together, but have each brought a niece of their own to live with them as well.
Wang Jingguang, her stepmother's niece Pei Wanglan, and her birth mother's niece Chen Yixiang have all grown up happily together. Then, just after Jingguang's sixteenth birthday, she fell ill and had a long, strange dream.
In the dream, she discovered a shocking secret:
She was actually an early transmigrator!
She was living inside a storybook!
And it was a novel where both the heroine and the second female lead were emotionally and physically tormented by cruel men!
Even worse:
There wasn't just one fake “hell hath no fury” redemption act staged by these heartless scumbags!
Among a sea of familiar simplified Chinese characters, Wang Jingguang discovered that:
The second female lead in the scholar's “redemption arc” was the cousin of the Duke's estate's most playful Second Miss;
The second female lead in the general's “redemption arc” was the cousin protected by the Second Miss of the Wang family;
The heroine in the heir's “redemption arc” was the maid most trusted and cherished by the Second Miss;
The heroine in the foreign emperor's “redemption arc” was the kind and well-mannered eldest sister of the thoughtless Second Miss...
Well, would you look at that. Of the twelve scrolls of military strategy, every single one has her name in it!
Wang Jingguang: So you're targeting everyone I know, huh?
No way. She has to figure out how to put an end to these “redemption arcs”...
And while she's at it, why are so many handsome men gravitating toward her?
She'll gladly accept!
Notes:
Everyone who has a connection with the heroine is young, beautiful, and decent.
1. Jingguang's mental and physical age is exactly what the blurb suggests. She only occasionally remembers that she transmigrated, and doesn't remember anything else from her former life. This is the story of a lively young woman growing up at a rapid pace.
2. The dynasty is fictional, with no real-world equivalent. The official ranks and systems are a mishmash.
3. Don't feel sorry for the male leads of these “redemption arcs” (this is important). The original plot is not a story about proper male leads coming to their senses and repenting. These men are all scheming scumbags, and their so-called remorse is just an act put on for their own benefit. Don't believe their lies. We praise genuine devotion and put these truly awful men through the wringer. The protagonists must save the sisters from the hypocrites' deceit.
4. There's plenty of family affection and friendship, and the sisters' interactions are joyful. There is a romance plot, a slight everyone-loves-the-heroine element, and some fun competition among the men in the middle and later parts. So just focus on the heroine (no spoilers). She'll enjoy everything she deserves.
5. The heroine becomes emperor near the end.
6. Enjoy the story. Love and peace. It only borrows some elements of the “redemption arc”; as mentioned in note 3, the individual storylines aren't traditional redemption arcs, and have their own twists and ideas. The little stories are entirely made up, with no real-life inspirations, so please don't look for parallels.
7. The heroine and her sisters' names come from Meng Jiao's poem “Farewell to Cui Chunliang”: “Though the mirror is broken, its light remains; though the orchid dies, its fragrance remains.”
8. Again, please don't insult the author or the heroine. Feel free to insult the scumbags.
9. Please check out my profile and add any stories you like to your collection, mwah.

The Article's Line of Thought
Hot knowledge, some people don't like Lao Deng, but in the end the brave man who slays the dragon eventually becomes the evil dragon. But some people are not brave at the beginning, but Xiao Deng. When he is weak, he sees Lao Deng and thinks "must replace him", "Seniority, men are superior to women, and the rich exploit the poor cannot be applied to me, but I think this is the truth." There are even those who dare to show their teeth in a humble and arrogant manner even before they have established a firm foothold.
I have an impression. You can tell by listening to her description. Some of the author's words and sentences really made me laugh.
The emperor's status was high and he didn't have to kill his heirs to please the superior, so he seemed stronger than Wang Qiu 😂. He was actually quite ruthless when negotiating peace with the Turks, but he worked around it and found a lower-ranking person to pretend to be a princess. Wang Qiu wanted to "make progress", so he jumped up and down harder to show his loyalty, like the minister in history who killed his son to feed the emperor. This is why some senior executives have kind-hearted intentions and middle-level managers are hated by others. However, the old employees know that the senior managers were more ruthless than the current middle-level managers. After they take office, they will pay attention to maintaining their image and do bad things to the real "kings" or to the kind-hearted middle-level managers who have to obey orders.
The article is very nice. The author's writing style is really good.
Wang Qiu, this name always reminds me of Gao Qiu.
