Completed novel: "After Transmigrating Into a Book, I Finally Got an O"

Blurb:

A scheming, flirtatious A who wins herself over VS a cheerful, warm-hearted, bunny-like O

To fulfill a contract on behalf of her injured twin sister, Hua Yan, an O, has no choice but to pretend to be an A.

Surrounded by nothing but As in her group, Hua Yan is constantly on edge, terrified her secret will be exposed. To her surprise, her teammates are all very nice, especially their leader, Xie Chu, who seems cold but is actually a gentle big sister.

(Teammates: Is something wrong with you? Gentle? Are you sure?)

One day, Xie Chu discovers that Hua Yan is an O, and from then on Hua Yan sets off down the one-way road of trying to win Xie Chu over.

At first, she takes care of all three meals, stays late to practice with her from time to time, and dutifully acts as the leader's little shadow. Later, they move in together and pair up as a couple on a variety show.

When her sister recovers and is about to return to the group, Hua Yan's days of filling in are finally over. Clutching her camera, she plans to slip away and head for the East African savanna of her dreams.

But she doesn't get far. Xie Chu, the unattainable beauty, corners her in her room, leaving her nowhere to run.

"You've been pretending all this time. Why not keep it up? Didn't you say you'd treat me well as long as I played along?"

Xie Chu locks the door behind them, gazing at her little childhood friend, who looks as dejected as a rabbit.

"I cook for you, stay late with you, and even keep you company when you can't sleep. Isn't that treating you well enough?"

Xie Chu wraps her arms around Hua Yan and refuses to let go. "You have to stay with me forever for it to be enough."

Abandoned by her family, Xie Chu met a bold little rabbit with a painted face at the orphanage. The girl didn't care about Xie Chu's cold words or perpetual scowl. She dragged her out of the darkness and onto the lawn to bask in the sun.

Later, Xie Chu was taken back by her family, and the little rabbit was adopted. They lost touch for good.

When they meet again, the seemingly innocent and harmless rabbit tries desperately to keep up her disguise, not realizing that one tell after another is giving her away.

Xie Chu quietly helps cover for her. After all, it's only natural that she should protect her own rabbit.

Reader's Guide:

No real-life inspirations. Please don't project this onto anyone. Modern alternate universe.

A ton of personal worldbuilding, all in service of the plot and sweet romance.

"After Transmigrating Into a Book, I Won Over the Villainous CEO"

Mi Yue transmigrated into a book.

In the story, Mi Yue is not only the female lead's foil, but also someone everyone despises.

Almost everyone hates her, especially Shen Lan, the beautiful, fair-skinned, otherworldly villainous CEO.

Mi Yue smiled faintly. If she couldn't afford to provoke her, couldn't she just avoid her?

Who knew that the next morning, as soon as Mi Yue opened her eyes, she would see Shen Lan with her dark hair loose and her red lips glistening. Her long legs and slender waist peeked out from beneath her bathrobe, and she looked as if she'd been thoroughly ravished.

As the one who'd made the first move, Mi Yue wanted to take responsibility. But before she could finish speaking, the beautiful woman, newly awake, fixed her with a cold stare.

Shen Lan looked utterly disgusted. "I'll give you five million. Get out of here and keep your mouth shut."

Mi Yue wanted to say that she didn't work in the service industry.

But then the beauty said, "I knew you'd be insatiable. Ten million."

Mi Yue, bowing to an eight-figure sum: ...

Later, Mi Yue accidentally saves Shen Lan from the female lead's scheme. She means to leave right away, but the seemingly chaste CEO wraps herself around Mi Yue from behind.

"Didn't you say you were going to take responsibility?" Shen Lan asks, eyes red as she clings to her air of arrogance, holding Mi Yue's hand and refusing to let go.

"Tell me, how exactly are you going to make it up to me?"

Thesis: The road to growth is full of thorns, but someone will always be there to help you cut through them.
