The Substitute Eloped with the Palace Master After Transmigrating into a Book

Please check out my upcoming fluffy romance, "Meow, I'm Living Off My Sugar Mommy"

Hua Tianyu was betrayed by the Operations Division while carrying out a mission. She embraced a broken sword and died alongside her enemies, only to wake up and discover she'd transmigrated into a book.

But then there was another problem.

Had she transmigrated into the body of Yun Wuxin, the Burial Flower Palace BOSS who would be flayed and have her bones extracted by the heroine? No problem. She just had to max out the world's affection for her.

Did BOSS Yun Wuxin's harem look exactly like her former self? No problem. She'd disband the harem and focus on cultivation.

But by the time the Burial Flower Palace had become a low-budget version of the Wuxiang Temple, her personal guard told her she was just a minor underling temporarily playing the palace master, a stand-in for Yun Wuxin?

Now that was a problem... She'd better pack her bags and run.

But could this cold-faced guard please move aside and stop blocking her way out of the palace?

The real palace master, posing as the fake guard Xiao Xing, stopped Hua Tianyu's Nth escape attempt. As Hua Tianyu stared in disbelief, Xiao Xing clung to her arm, tears appearing on cue.

"Miss, run away with me! Yun Wuxin really isn't human!"

The real guard Xiao Xing, hidden in the shadows, couldn't bear to watch. When the palace master got vicious, she even insulted herself...

"Reader's Guide"

1. The guard Xiao Xing who stays by Hua Tianyu's side is Yun Wuxin's true self.

2. Hua Tianyu keeps her original appearance from before she transmigrated into the book, but it'll return to normal when she escapes the palace. Guard Xiao Xing (Yun Wuxin) will also return to her original appearance. Their appearances changed because of a divine artifact.

3. Both are virgins.

4. Happy ending.

5. Note: Wuxiang Temple is a Taoist temple.

6. The bonus stories for each arc will be posted in the author's collection, "A Little Extra".

Rolling around and acting cute to beg you to check out my upcoming story~ A little sweet treat~

Story blurb

Miao Zhi, who died poor, was reborn as a cat: a long-haired, odd-eyed calico kitten.

Good news: Her new home is a huge villa with a garden and a swimming pool.

Bad news: Her new owner, Ji Shengsheng, has obsessive-compulsive disorder and severe germophobia.

Well, she could live with that. For money...

No, for the greater good of the world, Miao Zhi decided to win people over and become Ji Shengsheng's only daughter.

Before getting a cat, Ji Shengsheng knew she'd have to scoop the litter every day, put away toys, refill the food and water, and deal with shedding.

After getting a cat, the calico could use the toilet by herself, put away her toys, find her own food, and even knew how to turn on the air purifier.

The clingy Miao Zhi meowed sweetly.

[The kitty's been so good today. Can I have a Michelin-starred meal as a reward?]

Ji Shengsheng looked down and searched online.

[Why does my cat keep meowing?]

Then Ji Shengsheng came down with a fever and collapsed in bed, starving but refusing to order takeout.

Miao Zhi: My owner can't die. If she does, there'll be no villa, luxury cars, or Michelin-starred food.

Miao Zhi picked up a wok and spatula, skillfully lit the stove, and cooked three dishes and a soup.

When she turned around, she saw Ji Shengsheng, usually so cold, trembling as she held onto the doorframe.

Ji Shengsheng: A cat is cooking? I must be hallucinating from my fever.

A month later, Ji Shengsheng received her third set of luxury-brand jewelry.

She looked at the calico wearing two necklaces and opened the villa's security camera feed.

In the middle of the night, the calico reached out a paw and opened her phone.

It entered the passcode, expertly switched to a shopping app, paid, then skillfully deleted the order.

Ji Shengsheng: Can I hallucinate in broad daylight, too?

When Ji Shengsheng, a germophobic woman with OCD, could wear gloves and rub her belly, Miao Zhi knew her chance had come.

She persisted, and finally climbed into Ji Shengsheng's bed for the 108th time.

Half-asleep, Ji Shengsheng felt something soft and furry.

When she opened her eyes, a pair of soft cat ears rested beneath her palm.

"Zhi Zhi?"

Her gaze moved down to a pretty young woman's face and round eyes.

A cat tail took the opportunity to wind around Ji Shengsheng's waist, then slid down from her abdomen, sending a shiver through her before slipping into a mysterious place.

"Big sister, kitty wants you."

After a night of passion, the satisfied calico lay beside Ji Shengsheng's head, meowing.

[Kitty got what she wanted.]

Ji Shengsheng, who had OCD, felt her condition was almost cured.

She could tolerate the calico running wild around the room and turning the bedcovers into a mess.

She could tolerate the calico making a mess of the food in the fridge.

She could even tolerate the calico burrowing into her arms, and sometimes found herself hugging it without thinking.

So when the doctor said she was cured, she immediately agreed to give the calico away.

But after the calico was gone, her symptoms returned.

"I want kitty."

When she caught that familiar scent on the young woman's body,

Ji Shengsheng held her close, wishing she could press her into her very bones.

"I got kitty."
