Lin Yuan’an transmigrates into a book she wrote, becoming the female lead’s background-character friend.
As a mere background character, Lin Yuan’an lives through the first eighteen years of her life all over again, waiting for the female lead to appear.
The female lead does show up, but then she slaps the hero and cries out in anguish,
“I’m becoming a nun. The two of us can never be together in this life!”
Lin Yuan’an: What on earth happened when I, her creator, wasn’t looking? I remember writing a happy ending!
To figure out what was going on, Lin Yuan’an does everything she can to get close to the main cast.
One dark and windy night, she gets up to use the bathroom and hears the second male lead muttering next door.
“Wasn’t this supposed to be a bad ending? Why do I feel like it’s heading for a happy ending? No, no way. With me, her real father, around, those two have to get a bad ending!”
Lin Yuan’an, passing by: If you’re the author, then who am I?
The System discreetly reminds her,
“Host, this is a transmigration novel. The original author has appeared. Your real opponent is here!”
Lin Yuan’an finally understands. So you’re the one who’s been messing up the plot with all those ridiculous developments! I don’t care if you’re the original author or the second male lead. Her real mom is here, so this story is getting a happy ending!
After that, when the second male lead takes the hero to a banquet, Lin Yuan’an makes a dazzling entrance with the heroine, instantly becoming the hottest topic online.
When the second male lead supports the heroine becoming a nun, Lin Yuan’an says, heartbroken,
“Are you really going to stand by and watch your brother take all the family fortune?
Girl, don’t become a nun. Go be a CEO instead!”
The second male lead bad-mouths the hero to the heroine, so Lin Yuan’an pulls out ten photos of handsome college guys.
“President An, Mr. Gu is so generous. It’d be a shame not to bring him home as the principal husband!”
The heroine nods and smiles under the second male lead’s despairing gaze.
“You’re right. I’ll marry him next month.”
At last, the hero and heroine walk hand in hand into marriage. The second male lead watches from below, moved to tears, and Lin Yuan’an decides to go comfort her defeated rival.
“I’m sorry. I’m the author. I can’t make my ship have a bad ending.”
He wipes his tears with her hand, then pulls her forward until they are face-to-face.
“Hello, Author. They got their happy ending. When will our author ship get one?”
Lin Yuan’an: ! When did this bootleg version figure me out?
“They’re all characters you created. What about me?”
“You’re beyond them. You’re in my heart.”
It’s the same book. You get to decide how their story ends, and you get to decide how ours ends, too.
When an author meets the original author. A story featuring two authors.
(I just came up with this idea. I might write it after I finish the one about the deceased husband. If you like it, feel free to add it to your collection for now. The blurb, title, and heroine’s name are provisional and may change later. I haven’t thought of a name for the hero yet.)
