Wake Up, Male Lead (Transmigrated into a Book)

After staying up all night for two nights straight to read novels, Ye Shan, who wasn't even a shut-in, finally transmigrated into a book. And not even into the kind of wish-fulfillment novel she liked.

Old-fashioned! Over-the-top! Tortured romance!

Ye Shan was dumbfounded.

When she saw her character, she breathed a small sigh of relief. Thank goodness, she was one of those rich girls with a good family and a pretty face.

Before she could finish that sigh, the ridiculous plot nearly struck her dead with a bolt of lightning.

It turned out that the male leads all fell for scheming, sweet-talking women who acted innocent and pure, never for spoiled rich girls. As a rich girl, Ye Shan was just a cannon-fodder character, forced to become an idiot for the sake of the plot.

Ye Shan couldn't take it anymore and yelled, "What am I supposed to do?!"

Ding! A System prompt appeared.

System: "Host, please strive for harmony and spread truth, goodness, and beauty..."

Ye Shan: "Speak like a normal person!"

A certain System, working hard to evolve from a tortured-romance System into a wish-fulfillment System, whispered to Ye Shan: "Turn these old-fashioned stories into the kind of wish-fulfillment novels everyone loves nowadays, and take down those fake-sweet schemers! Got it now?"

System: "Host, choose one of the following: One, a System companion. Two, a portable pocket dimension."

Ye Shan hadn't even had time to reach out and press a choice when she was shocked. W-wait!

She hadn't chosen yet, so how had she transmigrated already??!

Book One: Battle the fake-sweet stepsister

Here she comes, here she comes, that fake-sweet stepsister who goes "sob, sob, sob" over and over, pretending to be weak, innocent, and pitiful, bringing a love polygon along with her. She steals Ye Shan's father, then steals her childhood sweetheart, leaving Ye Shan with a reputation for being fierce and malicious and making everyone despise her.

A certain System, thrilled to stir up trouble, egged Ye Shan on: "Go, go, go! Take down that fake-sweet schemer, and the gorgeous guy will be yours!"

Book Two: Battle the fake friend

In every group photo posted to their social media, Ye Shan's best friend had a smaller face, bigger eyes, and even a brighter, fairer complexion than Ye Shan. Looking at herself, all dark and distorted, Ye Shan: "..."

After hearing her best friend's "revelations" about stealing apples from someone else's tree and getting chased by a dog, kissing an upperclassman in a grove, giving a girl friend's WeChat to an unwanted backup suitor, and more, her rich and handsome fiance narrowed his eyes and confronted Ye Shan: "So this is the kind of woman you are!"

The System jumped a foot in the air: "Get her, get her, get her! Take down that shameless fake-sweet schemer!"

Book Three: Battle the imperial concubine

When Ye Shan, who was "dignified and virtuous" and "gentle and generous," saw the emperor's beloved concubine, who was more beautiful than anyone in the harem, even though her face was no smaller, her breasts no bigger, and her bottom no perkier than Ye Shan's, she completely lost it...

Damn it, as empress of the whole country, where exactly did she fall short??!

Book Four: Battle the "white rabbit" junior sister

Book Five: Battle...

Book Six: Battle...

Book Seven: Battle... KO!

Come on, let's battle! Who's afraid of whom?
