[A Big Tech HR Transmigrates into a Book, Puts the Household Feud in Order, and Gets a Happy Ending with the Author]
◆ Newly widowed supporting-character heroine vs. sickly villain strategist husband
◆ Advance notice: blurb from the male lead's perspective, main text from the female lead's perspective
Le Qishi was an overworked game developer at a big tech company and a part-time author on Little Green River.
After being exploited by his former employer, he developed severe depression.
He decided to change jobs, but a headhunter set him up and nearly got him into a lawsuit.
Fortunately, the HR manager at his new company looked intimidating but still let him off the hook.
She even helped line up a new job for him.
But Le Qishi's depression had become physically debilitating, so he had no choice but to rest at home.
His bestselling household-intrigue novel stopped updating, becoming a legendary unfinished mess.
Get up, feel depressed, eat, feel depressed, read comments from the fully subscribed reader "A Zhi Knows Nothing" cursing him out, burst into tears, go to sleep...
That was Le Qishi's daily life. He spent two whole years in those dreary, lifeless days.
Then one day, that reader stopped cursing him. It should have been a good thing, but Le Qishi felt as though a piece of him had gone missing.
Le Qishi, who never saw sunlight, decided to open the curtains and start writing again, hoping to win back the few readers he had left...
But fate had other plans: he transmigrated into a book as Le Yu, the sickly villainous strategist in his own story, before his villainous transformation!
Le Qishi: What a hellish start!
When he first wrote this character, Le Qishi was in a bad mood and tortured the villain mercilessly.
Torturing a character feels great for a moment, but transmigrating into the book is hell!
No, it's practically a death sentence!
That was until Le Yu's wife, who had been living far away in his hometown, arrived in the capital...
Le Qishi: Wait, when did I ever write Le Yu a wife? An arranged marriage?
And isn't this wife the original heroine's doomed sister-in-law?
As a single young man who'd never dated in the twenty-first century, how could he possibly accept...
Arranged marriage is great! Arranged marriage is wonderful! The wife he got is even more impressive than the characters he wrote. She's practically a cheat code!
What's the big deal about falling in love after marriage? Le Qishi had written that plenty of times to get his stories accepted on Little Green River!
Six months later...
Le Qishi: Falling in love after marriage is humanity's most brilliant treasure!
Wei Kezhi rose to become the foremost noblewoman in the capital, while Le Qishi passed the imperial examinations and climbed the official ranks.
Everything was flourishing, but then Le Qishi realized that his wife seemed to be from the same place as he was!
Good news: He and his wife were in love with each other.
Bad news: The plot was starting! And it was following that melodramatic outline he'd come up with back then...
◆ Reader's Guide | 1. A female-led farming and household-intrigue story;
2. In both worlds, the female lead has no sexual experience, while the male lead does; slight harem elements;
3. Both transmigrate, the male lead appears much later, and there are two endings;
4. Set in the Great Yan Dynasty, with lots of original worldbuilding, drawing inspiration from the Song Dynasty.
