When a Straight Guy Is Reborn as a Sweet and Innocent Princess

[This novel will be moved behind a paywall in full on May 1 (paid chapters start at Chapter 24). If you've already read it, please don't buy it again. My next novel, Quick Transmigration: Into a Mary Sue System, is now available for pre-save.]

Blurb: Liu Mingfei, a straight man and a 996 wage slave in the 21st century, dreams of a life with no work and plenty of cash to spend.

At last, one day, Heaven grants his wish. After waking up from a nap, Liu Mingfei finds himself transported into the body of a princess in a fictional ancient world.

Now he doesn't have to work 996 hours anymore. He can eat and drink well, live in a mansion spanning thousands of square meters without paying a mortgage, and have more than a dozen servants at his beck and call. It seems his dream has come true.

But he soon discovers that things aren't as simple as he thought. Not only does he get his period every month, he also has to smile without showing his teeth and obey the Three Obediences and Four Virtues. Worst of all, his feet have been bound into "three-inch golden lilies."

Liu Mingfei thinks that if he has to become a woman, he should at least have been reborn as Princess Chengren, not the ornamental Princess Songren. After all, Princess Chengren's feet aren't bound, and she can lead troops into battle. Now that's impressive.

Emperor: It is improper for a princess to lead an army. She should marry as soon as possible!

Crown Prince: That big-footed ugly woman has her eye on a pretty boy eight years younger than her. How embarrassing!

Royal Uncle: Princess Chengren stands in the way of my becoming emperor. She must die!

The people: What? A woman wants to be emperor? How outrageous, how outrageous...

Liu Mingfei: This princess has it even worse than the other one. Forget it, I'm out. I'd rather go back to being a wage slave.

----------Upcoming Novel----------

Mo Lisu used to be an avid reader of Mary Sue novels, and naively believed that the real world was just like a Mary Sue story, where outstanding men would fall for ordinary girls.

Only after being educated by society did she realize that outstanding people always like other outstanding people. Whether a man is ugly or handsome, the first thing he'll like is always a beautiful woman.

After becoming a teacher, she swore she wouldn't let the next generation repeat her naive mistakes. She would make sure her students understood early on that Mary Sue novels are entertaining, but not to be trusted. Improving yourself is what matters.

After giving one of her students a thorough lecture, Mo Lisu wakes up to find a strange man lying beside her. He says he has a "contract" that will restrict her freedom...

Mo Lisu: Wait, why does this sound like the opening of one of those cliché novels?

System: Welcome, target character. You have entered the scenario.

Mo Lisu: What does that mean?

System: The target character will become the Mary Sue heroine. Every male lead and male supporting character in the scenario will go crazy for her.

And then...

1. Mo Lisu gets a full medical examination at a certain CEO's insistence, just because she got a tiny cut on her finger.

2. A certain prince can't bear to let the emperor take away the woman he loves, so he launches a rebellion.

3. A Demon Lord with the power to destroy heaven and earth loves to cling to her and call her "big sister."

4. A superstar defies his fans and announces that he is dating her, causing social media to crash.

5. A military commander in the post-apocalyptic world blows up an asteroid like fireworks and says it's a birthday present for her...

Mo Lisu, holding her forehead: What the hell is wrong with all these lunatics?
