Surrounded by Exes After Traveling to Republican-Era China

Former heiress Li Jueyu transmigrates into the body of a single-parent child in the Republican era. From the start, her birth mother has been divorced, a new mother has moved in and taken over her home, and she is being forced to go to Japan. To survive, she decides to do something that has always made money: write novels. She never expected that whenever she came up with a good story idea, she would become the heroine of the novel, embark on a tumultuous journey, and find that everything she did and encountered automatically turned into manuscript pages... Li Jueyu: There's such a good deal? I don't have to think up the plot, the logic won't fall apart, and I can learn more skills during the time I spend dreaming? Once she realized how powerful her golden finger was, Li Jueyu started running back and forth between reality and her "dreamscape"... By day, she gave herself a makeover in Tokyo and made the newspapers. By night, she debuted at the Takarazuka Revue and became an instant hit. By day, she was the trusted makeup artist to a group of Hollywood stars. By night, she represented opera's top-tier stars in a showdown on Broadway. She even had a literary reputation that brought in easy money! But she never expected that as her fame spread far and wide, the first people to come looking for her would not be her heartless father, but several "exes" from her novels. ** Everyone praised Li Jueyu's novels for their emotional depth and twisty plots, but sharp-eyed readers noticed that everything described in them, aside from the names, could be matched to real life. So, as Li Jueyu's fame spread overseas... A young nobleman from a prominent family in the Kyoto-Osaka region found his first love. A popular Parisian composer found his confidante. A wealthy banker back home found his soulmate. Bystander: "Good grief, while other literary giants fill their pages with dazzling riches, Li Jueyu has exes everywhere, like stray dogs!" When these men came looking for Li Jueyu, she finally realized: damn it, those dreams weren't dreams. They were another form of transmigration. Had she actually transmigrated in her dreams, hooked up with those guys, and then written it all into books? "I'm not a player, you have to believe me!" ---- Upcoming Novel ---- "Go on a dating reality show with the young master and look after him at all times, and you'll get a 100,000 yuan hardship fee." Chi Yinyin accepted the check. A line of on-screen comments drifted past her eyes. [Woohoo, great! The survival dating show, full of sex and romance, is about to begin... (100,000 words of exciting plot omitted below)!!] Chi Yinyin happily munched popcorn as she watched the drama unfold. By the end, she was screaming in shock. "What the hell, I'm the heroine?!" * "Absolutely Heart-Pounding" is a survival dating-show novel packed with sexual tension. The heroine and a whole host of male leads head to a deserted island, where they struggle to survive and fall in love. The romantic rivalries and steamy scenes made it a hit with readers. But none of that had anything to do with Chi Yinyin. Deciding that the money she'd been offered wasn't enough to justify getting caught up in a free-for-all, Chi Yinyin resolved to ignore every spicy on-screen comment and play the chaste, desireless saint. On a show that sent everyone's adrenaline soaring, she would focus on survival, not romance, and avoid every moment that could spark mutual attraction. Male Contestant No. 1 was a famously gentle academic genius at medical school. Mild and reserved on the surface, he had closed his heart to love. With gold-rimmed glasses on, he radiated distance. Chi Yinyin thought: Surely such a goody-goody can't be kinky too. Just as she went to greet him, a comment drifted lazily across the screen. [Oh my, buttoned up to the collar, playing the harmless one while hiding a tiger's claws. Who'd have thought he gets so intense in the locked-room scenes...] Chi Yinyin abruptly changed the direction of her handshake and rested her hand on his shoulder like an old professor. "What's your GPA, young man?" Male Contestant No. 2 was a spoiled, demanding young master from a wealthy family, with a ridiculously handsome face and enough money to play poker with a black card. But the on-screen comments weren't about to let a boss and childhood friend like him off the hook either. [This male lead has been secretly in love with you since childhood. He finally confesses on the dating show, and then he also... Mmm, yes...] Chi Yinyin had been writing a flirty message to her boss. After seeing the comment, she quietly deleted her whole paragraph of praise and replaced it with a period. Male Contestant No. 3 was a lively, energetic fencer who claimed he was on the show to survive, not to fall in love. Chi Yinyin thought: Surely this one should be safe... right? [Ding! Fast-forward to: I thought you were my friend, but you want to do it with me out in the wild...] Male Contestant No. 4 was a scheming sweet-faced man who tried hard to pass himself off as a factory worker. He claimed to be a million yuan in debt, homeless, and nicknamed Tiezhu. He thought his story would scare off the female contestants, but when he turned around, he saw Chi Yinyin, just as unlucky as he was, with tears in her eyes. [...Damn, this woman is so pure and genuine. I'm really falling for her...] Chi Yinyin tried even harder to survive. Whether on the reality show or surrounded by men. Then came the final night of the show. Four male leads, four romantic confessions, and every last one exactly as the on-screen comments had predicted. "I've liked you since high school." "Childhood friends stay together forever, right?" "I'm sick of being just friends!" "If I give you all my money, then it wasn't a lie." #Even a chaste woman can be worn down by a persistent wolf, especially when there are four of them #A pure-hearted love story about someone trying to dodge the plot, only for things to get even more outrageous than the on-screen comments Theme: Hard work matters most
