Doing Whatever It Takes to Give the Tragic, Powerful Male Lead a Happy Ending (Transmigrate into a Book)

I wrote this when I was just starting out, so don't read it if you don't like it.

On the eve of her college entrance exams, Su Ke inexplicably transmigrates into a male-oriented wish-fulfillment novel that netizens jokingly call The Temptation of the Cousin.

The male lead, Shen Shuzhou, is fair-skinned, beautiful, and charismatic, a clever, overpowered heartthrob, with a personality that's just a tiny bit gloomy and unhinged.

They say he can't even have the girl he loves.

To get the story back on track, transmigrated Su Ke works herself to the bone over his love life, teaching him every kind of flirting technique.

But she never expected to fall for him herself.

Looking at Shen Shuzhou, so sweet that he bites a candied hawthorn skewer in half and gives her the other half, Su Ke can't help frowning.

This guy is gloomy and unhinged?

This guy is deeply in love with his cousin?

This isn't just the plot going off the rails. This isn't even the same damn book!

In the novel, Shen Shuzhou is the very picture of a beautiful, strong, tragic character. For a long time, he goes without enough food and clothing and is brutally bullied.

Only the daughter of the Marquis of Du'an treats him well. She brings him food and drink, and even braves the snowstorm on a snowy night to bring him a quilt. She comforts him, encourages him, and stays by his side, becoming the moonlight in his heart.

But later...

His moonlight dies, and he nearly goes mad.

Shen Shuzhou abstains from meat and prays to Buddha for five years for his lost love. He makes a secret wish, holds on to his hopes, and countless times imagines the circumstances in which they might meet again, only to be disappointed again and again.

Eventually, his heart grows empty. He clings to this as a fond memory, a reason to keep living.

But he never expected her to really come back.

P.S.

1. The male lead chases his wife to the crematorium.

3. The original heroine's cousin is a man who transmigrates into a woman's body and receives the same mission as Su Ke: "Give the male lead a happy ending."

2. I think you might end up liking the second male lead.

[Blurb for my ongoing novel, Fake White Lotus, Real Green Tea Queen, also known as When a Master of Spotting Fake Sweethearts Meets a Max-Level Green Tea]

The spoiled heiress Chu Yu transmigrates into a book, into the body of a famous frail, innocent white lotus.

The original spoiled young lady, Chu Yu, had a powerful family and parents who doted on her. When she couldn't stand a manipulative white lotus, she'd tell her off to her face.

But now she can't do that. She's transmigrated into the body of an ultimate white lotus, and she'll be struck by lightning if she breaks character.

So she spends all day suppressing her disgust, acting all simperingly sweet in front of her elders and putting on a helpless act in front of her stepmother and half-sister.

She puts the girls who seduce her fiancé in their place when they come to gloat, then turns around and cries in front of him with the innocence of a flower in the rain.

Before long, she develops a sharp eye and masters the secret to dealing with manipulative white lotuses.

Use sweet manipulation to counter sweet manipulation.

And from then on, she becomes unbeatable against every manipulative white lotus in the land.

But she never expected to fall for the top green tea of them all.

With a handsome face flushed red and tears clouding his eyes, Huo Xiu looks at her, wiping away his tears as he says, "Big Sister, Brother Xiao has so many friends. Unlike me, I only have you..."

Seeing him cry breaks Chu Yu's heart. She quickly lifts his little face, wipes his tears, and comforts him in a soft voice.

That's no green tea queen. That's her precious darling!
