The Little Black Tortoise Reborn as the Tragic Novel's Heroine

Announcement: Writing this story has been incredibly difficult, and it's really because I wasn't properly prepared as an author at the beginning. I barely managed to update yesterday, nearly at midnight, and it was only 2,300 words. After thinking it over today, I've decided to update this story whenever I can...

This story will be completed (I have a compulsive need to plant seeds in the backend, and leaving a story unfinished bothers me). It won't be locked behind a paywall, but updates will be irregular!

If you enjoy it, feel free to bookmark it and wait until it's finished before reading!

I'm sorry again for disappointing everyone...

Blurb:

Jiumo is a highly intelligent little black tortoise living in Xianhua Pond.

To save the True Lord, she transmigrates into the heroine of an angst novel.

The little tortoise doesn't understand angst, and she's never read a storybook before,

but the System says that the more miserable she is, the faster the True Lord's injuries will heal.

So the heroine of an angst novel is just a heroine who has a really miserable life?

The little tortoise doesn't know what a heroine is,

but she smiles, because she knows all about being miserable!

Isn't it just crying?

She's always used her golden-bean tears to trick the Immortal Venerable into giving her dried fish.

System: Are you sure you understand what it means to suffer?

Little Tortoise: Then what does it mean?

System: The male lead in the book will misunderstand you in every possible way,

break your immortal bones, betray and abandon you, gouge out your eyes, drive you to demonic cultivation and murderous madness...

The little tortoise cups her soft, pale belly,

and her pretty little brows immediately knit together.

Little Tortoise: But I haven't even reached the Deity Transformation stage...

I don't have immortal bones yet!

System: I probably shouldn't be telling a child such dark things!

The little tortoise follows the System's advice and starts learning how to be a proper heroine in an angst novel,

but everyone is so very kind to her

that she even forgets to cry miserably.

That is, until she meets him, the young man who looks exactly like the Immortal Venerable did when he was young.
