The Protagonists of the Era Novels Are My Neighbors

Yao Eryu was the second child in her family. Raised at her maternal grandparents' home from a young age, she was ignored by her parents, yet still poured her heart into proving herself to them. Then she died... and was reborn at the age of eleven. Her beloved maternal grandparents and uncle are still here. She wants to stay by their side and live a peaceful life, searching for the happiness she had forgotten. Then, one day, something incredible happened: Yao Eryu walked into a bookstore and discovered that all her neighbors were soon-to-be heroines and heroes of period novels. The gentle older girl next door is the heroine of a military-wife story, but she hasn't met her Mr. Right yet. The new auntie across the hall is the heroine of a stepmother story, with a special knack for handling unruly kids. The older boy in the front courtyard has the makings of a male lead, a future business magnate. The educated youth who has returned from the countryside to the back courtyard is about to meet a country child searching for their family... But the plot has gone a little off track, and Yao Eryu thinks she might be an NPC who needs to guide them back onto the right path. The protagonists plead with her: Little Eryu, remember to earn money and buy a house!!! At the time, Yao Eryu was hunched over, desperately making up her winter-break diary. Luckily, her childhood friend from next door, who acts like he can't stand her but always comes through, was there to help~ Warnings: A slow-paced, cozy slice-of-life story. There's a male lead who is her childhood friend. The focus is on the heroine's life; she sees the world of the story from an outsider's perspective, and she and the protagonists help one another succeed. Theme: Work hard. Your fate is in your own hands.
