I Wrote Myself into a Mess (Transmigrate into a Book)

The main story is complete. An extra chapter will be posted tomorrow (February 24, 2021).

Due to a miscalculation, I won't be able to post the extra chapter on time. I'll add it later in a separate post or another way. I'm putting the story on the completed list for now. Thanks for all your support.

Also, my next historical romance, After the Salty Fish Turns Its Life Around (working title), is already underway. I'll update it regularly once this story is complete. Click into my author page to read it. The blurb is at the bottom.

Blurb:

Fang Yitong transmigrated into the danmei novel she'd written, The King's Strategy, and became a stumbling block in the two male leads' romance. To survive, she began a long campaign to help her "husband" win over his "husband," using her maternal instincts to come up with all kinds of ways to bring them closer. As the two male leads' feelings steadily grew through all the chance meetings and encounters she'd carefully arranged, and the story was about to reach its perfect original ending, she smiled with satisfaction, ready to take her leave and let her good work remain unknown.

But...

Nangong Shuo: "Young Master Tong, I think I've fallen for someone lately."

Fang Yitong: "I know, I know."

Zhan Liuyun: "Yitong, why does the wind feel so sweet lately?"

Fang Yitong: "Got it, got it."

Nangong Shuo: "I have a little chess puzzle and want to find someone to play against."

Fang Yitong: "No problem. Leave it to me."

Zhan Liuyun: "After all these years, I finally understand what it means to truly miss someone."

Fang Yitong: "It's not too late."

Nangong Shuo: "The person I like seems to be a liar. She's been deceiving me for years."

Fang Yitong: "I'm sure he didn't mean to. There must be a reason. You should be understanding."

Zhan Liuyun: "Why doesn't she understand how I feel?"

Fang Yitong: "You can't just hint at things forever. You have to be direct and confess. Be a man and be brave. It's no big deal."

Fang Yitong, exhausted: Can't you two just confess to each other? Why do I have to be your messenger? This is exhausting, man.

Nangong Shuo: "You, Fang. Come to my side."

Fang Yitong: "?"

Zhan Liuyun: "It's cold. Come here, let me put another layer on you."

Fang Yitong: "..."

Wait, what's wrong here? Wasn't I the stumbling block? Wasn't I cannon fodder? Ah! My character setting has collapsed!

This story is entirely fictional. This Song is not that Song, and nothing in this story is related to actual history.

Blurb for After the Salty Fish Turns Its Life Around:

The Palace in the Clouds is a thousand-year-old unfinished novel. Bai Xiaowei had a field day mocking its worldbuilding, which was completely divorced from reality. Then she woke up as a character in the book, and not just any character: she was an ordinary mortal in the cultivation world, an existence as insignificant as an ant.

Could someone like her turn their life around?

No chance!

Then she'd just lie back and be a salty fish.

But then the salty fish picked up a tagalong who was always hungry, and a potted tree that was as laid-back as could be and could read people's minds...

One was hard to feed, the other hard to deal with.

The salty fish was troubled.

On an auspicious day, Li Chen, Master of the Palace in the Clouds, was to marry the daughter of the Lord of Bai'e City. On the wedding day, the groom stood up the bride and thousands of guests. When the news reached the old lord of Bai'e City, he quietly put down the bundle he'd packed, stopped in the middle of preparing to flee, breathed a sigh of relief, and declared righteously, "Hasn't Palace Master Li done enough for the hundred cities of the Immortal Sect? It's just a wedding he stood us up at. No big deal."

The guests were moved to tears. The old Lord Bai is truly magnanimous!

Li Chen calculated again and again. His tribulation was only three days away from his wedding. If he passed it successfully, he would marry the Bai family's daughter as a High God. If he failed...

He instructed Feng Lin, the third elder of the Palace in the Clouds: should his divine stone fall, give a third of the world to Bai'e City as an apology, and let the Bai family marry their daughter to someone else.

But the divine stone remained, and Li Chen vanished.

Should Feng Lin give away a third of the world or not?

He was at his wits' end.

One day, Bai Xiaowei, who had transmigrated into the thousand-year-old unfinished novel, and Li Chen, who had disappeared while undergoing his tribulation, looked at each other in silence.

It was all fate.

Theme: Life has no preset script. Kindness and hard work are what matter most.
