Global Drift

New book, Don't Be So Ridiculous!, please add it to your collection!

What do you do when you transmigrate into the role of a vicious female antagonist, the kind who's destined to end up working a sewing machine in prison and singing prison ballads?

Chu Xiangyi chooses to lie flat. Fighting the heroine for the male lead sounds exhausting. She'd rather make money, then lie flat and enjoy herself.

Except this world seems a little too ridiculous!

The real and fake heiresses: The heroine is the real heiress of a wealthy family, switched at birth and relentlessly targeted by the fake heiress. In the future, she'll face-slapping the fake heiress and return in triumph, with family, love, and career all flourishing.

Chu Xiangyi: But the heroine and I are twin sisters, and we were abandoned together! How come there's no plot for me in the real-and-fake-heiress story? Did my cheap mom not even know how many babies she was carrying? Is prenatal testing illegal in this world?

The pampered little sister: A wealthy family has had more than ten sons before finally having a girl. The old master declares, "Pamper her to death!" When the little sister wants ice cream, her ten-plus brothers buy out every last ice cream in town!

Chu Xiangyi: Where did all the popsicles and ice cream I stocked in my freezer go? Do you have to clear out other people's freezers when you stock up?

Cinderella and the rich, handsome guy: A Cinderella who refuses to bow to power gets involved with an overbearing rich, handsome guy. He thinks she's sincere and unpretentious, nothing like the seductive women around him. For true love, he abandons his beautiful, wealthy fiancee, defies family pressure, and fights for love to the very end!

Chu Xiangyi: Who would want to marry a brainless idiot? Hurry! Buy the dip! Acquire his company so there's nothing standing in the way of his romance!

The unlucky second male lead, Yu Nanping, who keeps turning up in other people's stories:

What's going on? Why has all the fine wine in my collection turned into 1982 Lafite?

What the heck? I woke up and my bed is a hundred meters long? Do I have to run a hundred-meter dash just to get out of bed?

Help! My company isn't really going to move to Antarctica, is it? What would we do there? Study penguins?

Chu Xiangyi: An illusion! It's all an illusion!

Yu Nanping: No! You slept with me and now don't want to take responsibility! Don't think you can run!

The actual blurb:

What's it like to go from having nothing to owning an entire island?

Thanks for asking. I'm in the apocalypse, bound to an island, and drifting around the globe. I just made it through the equator, where it was hot enough to roast a dog. Now I'm getting ready to freeze like a dog at the poles.

The world has changed drastically. The continents have broken apart, and humanity now survives on scattered islands in the sea.

Zhou Lan is reborn in the apocalypse and unexpectedly binds herself to a little island. She thought it would be enough to secure a home and let her live in peace. As it turns out, this is a drifting island!

Typhoons, tsunamis, earthquakes, blistering heat, freezing cold... and conflicts with the islands she encounters along the way. Staying alive won't be easy!

Everyone, green with envy: Give me your island! I'll gladly take your suffering!

Zhou Lan: Heh.

Content warning: Both the male and female leads have flaws. They're not perfect.

Theme: Hope never dies.
