After I Transmigrated into a Book as the Maid of an Abusive-Novel Heroine

After writing 99 melodramatic angst novels, Yu Fei transmigrated into a book. The Green JJ System punished her by making her transmigrate as the tragic little maid serving the heroine of the ultimate, over-the-top melodrama she'd just started writing.

This story brings together every melodramatic trope imaginable: the stand-in for a beloved first love, swapped-at-birth drama, amnesia after falling off a cliff, running away while pregnant, and more. The dog of a male lead torments the heroine in every way, body and heart, making her suffer and nearly die countless times. And still, Yu Fei had written a happy ending into her outline.

If you ask who has it worse than the heroine in this book, it has to be her little maid.

When the heroine was poor, the maid washed clothes for other people in the dead of winter to earn money, and nearly froze to death after falling through the ice. When the heroine returned to the Marquis's estate and was bullied and framed, the maid routinely took her punishments, kneeling, getting beaten with a stick, and being slapped. When the heroine disappeared after jumping off a cliff, the maid was left all alone in her son-in-law's household, manipulated into marrying an old stablehand, and eventually sold to a brothel, where she died miserably.

The System forced Yu Fei to play out the maid's entire storyline. She hunched her shoulders, then looked at the delicate, helpless heroine and clenched her fist in silence. For the sake of her own life and her darling girl's life, she was going all in!

Chao Qi had thought he was destined to live an unremarkable life, but everything changed after he rescued a young girl who had fallen through the ice.

He promised her, "Don't worry. I'll marry you."

The girl glanced at him. "If you've got nothing to do, go find a job. You could even be a gatekeeper."

Chao Qi took her words to heart, packed his bags, and left the village. Along the way, he rescued a rich young master, and then he really did go to the capital to work as a gate guard at a grand estate.

Years later, after rising to the rank of Imperial Son-in-Law Commandant, Chao Qi bowed to his wife and said with a smile, "Thanks to Your Highness's advice, guarding a gate has brought me quite a career."
