I'm a Self-Insert Fangirl, Give Me a Break

Complete. My next book will be "Falling in Love with My Defeated Rival". Please add it to your reading list.

After graduating, Zhong Jia went through a period of deep uncertainty. While everyone else was finding success in both their careers and love lives, setting off down the standard path in life,

she was holed up in her tiny bedroom playing a story-based game, enthusiastically imagining herself as the male lead’s girlfriend.

When she felt the gap between herself and her peers growing wider and wider, Zhong Jia was miserable.

But not for long.

Because every time she felt miserable, she’d realize she hadn’t done her sign-in for the game yet.

And so she reached a conclusion: all her current misery came from not opening the game in time to look at her husband.

Other people would have mortgages, car loans, and the next generation to worry about. She’d never have any of those burdens. As long as she could feed herself, she’d be fine.

So Zhong Jia decided to lie flat for good.

Other people: Working themselves to death to earn a living.

Zhong Jia: I should buy my husband some cute merch.

Other people: Talking about marriage.

Zhong Jia: What skirt should I wear to my husband’s fan event tomorrow?

The outside world was so complicated. All she wanted was to curl up in her husband’s arms and sleep in peace.

Perhaps if you never forget something, your wish will come true. Zhong Jia transmigrated into her favorite story-based game, "Red Thread", and finally met her lover from another dimension.

"Red Thread" is an otome game. The player character is a wealthy heiress who accidentally discovers a family secret and, every so often, transmigrates into a book called "Misfortune".

The world inside the book is extremely dangerous. The slightest mistake could cost you your life. If you fail to complete the book’s tasks, disaster will strike the real world and the apocalypse will begin.

Zhong Jia happened to transmigrate at the very start of the game, and found herself in the basement of the second male lead, a villain.

He was approaching her step by step, holding a horrifying torture instrument. Zhong Jia was so scared she shut her eyes.

The next second, she fell into an embrace that should have felt familiar, but somehow felt a little strange.

“Fate’s red thread ties you and me together. It fears neither time nor distance.”

[To avoid any confusion, let me clarify that the game "Red Thread" in the story is an otome game. The original character had no independent personality, so this is not a case of possession.]
