The Female Side Character Is Forced to Work After She Transmigrates into a Book

[A recommendation for my friend's completed sweet romance, Reborn as the Imperial Noble Consort, by Gong Zhang Mou Mou. It's great!]

[My ongoing novel, A Guide to Supporting a Family with Ancient Cuisine, is on my author page. Please give it a favorite, lovely readers!]

[Blurb]

Ai Tiantian transmigrated into a book, becoming a minor cannon-fodder character in her own unfinished novel.

As a struggling writer, she had no outline and no idea where the plot was going. She had no ambitions, either. All she wanted was to eat well and wait for death.

The cannon-fodder girl's father was a founding hero, her mother a heroine, and her brothers all youthful prodigies who doted on their little sister. She had all the makings of the family's darling. So just how stupid had the original girl been to turn herself into cannon fodder?

There was a Duke, and there were princes. At first, Ai Tiantian thought this was a palace intrigue and household intrigue novel. She had just resolved to avoid men and stay home, eating her fill while waiting for death, when the System activated and the setting changed.

Fine, so it was a farming-and-food novel.

Since her dream of staying home, eating her fill, and waiting for death was shattered, escaping the whirlpool of power and roaming the mountains and rivers in freedom sounded pretty good too. The world outside was so exciting!

Only later did she realize that this might be a story that didn't fit any genre. She wanted to beat up the author. (Why not beat yourself up? -*-)

In his previous life, Zhou Heng watched helplessly as the girl he'd loved since childhood went into another man's arms. Later, she died in an accident caused by someone else's selfishness. He was consumed by grief and eventually rose to the pinnacle of power, all to avenge her.

Reborn, he cast off his mask and stopped holding back. He no longer cared about the throne or power. Even if he had to act like a fool, he would cling to her shamelessly.

From then on, wherever she went, he would go too. Everything was for her. He wanted only her!

Ai Tiantian: "Wait, this isn't right. In my outline, this guy was supposed to be a cold, villainous character. How did he turn into an idiot? What went wrong?"

A male lead who switches effortlessly between aloof and ridiculous x a homebody, easygoing female lead forced to get out and work

This is a completely imaginary setting. Everything serves the plot. One-on-one romance.

The author is terrible at titles and blurbs (T﹏T+++

Blurb for A Guide to Supporting a Family with Ancient Cuisine:

Her parents were kind, her younger siblings adorable, and her family was comfortably well-off.

After transmigrating into this body thirteen years ago, Ji Shu lived a quiet, peaceful life, almost forgetting that she had lived an extra lifetime.

Then disaster struck without warning. The family's breadwinner fell, and her fiance broke off their engagement. With her frail body, she had no choice but to shoulder the burden of supporting her family.

The pampered daughter of the household opened an eatery and served delicious food, welcoming guests from far and wide and earning a fortune. From then on...

Her former fiance, who had broken off their engagement, shamelessly begged and pleaded to get back together, even humiliating himself in the process.

Relatives, friends, and old acquaintances all came by to make her acquaintance.

The little eatery at the village entrance was repeatedly visited by important figures, becoming the new hub of gossip!

People said her only blemish was her husband, Xue Shu, a notorious wastrel.

His family had fallen into ruin, his mother was dead, and his father was a scoundrel. With his stepmother and younger siblings constantly stirring up trouble, Xue Shu found life pointless and decided he might as well be a wastrel.

Until he met her. Then everything changed.

Some said he spent his days fighting crickets and walking dogs, carousing and living a life of wine and women, with regular stays in the pleasure quarters.

Others said he was a valiant warrior and brilliant strategist who rose through the ranks to the highest position in court.

But few knew that he wished he could become a rolling pin in Ji Shu's hands, always tied to her side!

Little scene:

Xue Shu: "This woman smiles at everyone every day. How fake! I'll see if she's just putting on an act!"

But after years of being a wastrel, the words came out before he could stop them: "Hey, why don't you smile at me?"

Ji Shu: "This shop sells meals, not smiles. Thank you! If you want to buy a smile, try Nanping Alley. Take care!"

Xue Shu: "...Wait, aren't you supposed to be a proper young lady? How do you even know about Nanping Alley?"

Blurb for my friend Gong Zhang Mou Mou's sweet romance, Reborn as the Imperial Noble Consort:

In her previous life, Yan Le was in love with Cheng Yi. To marry him, she even broke her own leg to avoid the selection. She then devoted herself to him in every way, and after he came first in the imperial examinations, she finally got her wish and became his wife. She thought this was the start of a happy life.

She never imagined it would turn out to be a huge trap. By falling into it, she not only died in a fire without a body left behind, but also brought misery to her family.

After being reborn, Yan Le entered the palace without looking back. Oaths of eternal love and romance were worthless. Her family's safety and immense power were what mattered.

[Little scene]

Yan Le: "In this life, I, Her Majesty, will be utterly heartless and loveless. I strongly oppose the author writing a romance plot." [Squealing like a groundhog].jpg

After watching the whole thing with cold eyes, a certain emperor turned to the trash author, looked at him sternly, and raised an eyebrow.

"Write more!"
