About This Story:

Serious version:

Shen Wuyu, a professor of physics, was hired by a game development team to design a game where players could enter the worlds of tragic romance novels. But as the plot unfolded, the tragic-romance heroine kept straying from the main storyline again and again, drawing protests from countless players. As the game's designer, Shen Wuyu had no choice but to enter the game and stop the plot from going OOC again.

After failing to stop the heroine a thousand times, Shen Wuyu enters the tragic-romance world and chooses to shut off her memories, only for an unexpected situation to arise: She's supposed to win over the heroine!?

Shen Wuyu, in the last second before her memories are shut off: "..."

As the tragic-romance heroine, Ning Jinxue finds that everyone around her has been reborn. It seems the male lead is about to start his journey to win back his wife; an ordinary bystander dragged into the tragic romance wants nothing to do with the male and female leads; the third female lead has witnessed the world's destruction and been reborn again and again; and even the male lead's beloved white moonlight is about to be reborn...

Not-so-serious version:

Tragic-romance heroine: I had a strange dream. That wicked woman was blushing, and she was unexpectedly adorable!?

Shen Wuyu: "..."

Tragic-romance heroine: What do I do! My heart is broken!! I must be sick. How can that wicked woman be so adorable in my dream!!

Looking at the tragic-romance heroine over there, cupping her face in both hands and blushing bright red, Shen Wuyu said nothing. This woman's got a screw loose. She seemed perfectly normal a moment ago, but now her eyes look so strange!

This story explores the social blows women endure from different angles. Most notably, society slaps a label on girls when they're young that diminishes them: "pretty" and "skirts" are both constraints placed on girls. Could girls chasing their dreams invent a time machine, travel to the future, or even visit another world, defeat a dragon, and meet a princess holding a sword?

A note for readers:

This is an original light novel with a relaxed, everyday-life style.

Lin Xue is extremely socially anxious.

That is, until she sees a mermaid climbing ashore. But she's the only one who sees it. Woohoo!

The mermaid's stunning beauty stood out all the more in the bright midday sun. Lin Xue quietly swallowed, only for the mermaid to notice.

The mermaid smiled lazily. "You saw me? Then you have to take responsibility for me, or the human world will end."

Lin Xue: "..." Are you kidding? Who are you trying to fool in broad daylight?

The mermaid splashed the water and thought of the human she'd tricked into coming ashore to cook for her. Her smile grew even more alluring.

The next day, the mermaid swished her tail as she swam to the agreed-upon reef, finally spotting the human arriving with egg fried rice. Delicious.

The mermaid's eyes reddened as she shoveled in the rice. "Don't leave me."

Lin Xue: "..." Mermaids sure know how to act cute.

One day, a tourist checking out the beach discovered a little restaurant had opened there. The beautiful owner was sitting in a wheelchair and acting coy to the woman beside her. "I want meat."

The woman had a blank expression, but her ears were already red. She silently pulled an apron from her pocket and said in a tiny voice, "J-just a moment. I'll make some."

The tourists who saw this scene all said the same thing: So sweet!
