I'm So Strong They Mistook Me for the Male Lead

The story is complete. I'll occasionally make corrections, so don't be surprised if you see an update. My other story, That's Right, I'm the Big Villain [Apocalyptic Cycle], is now available. Preorder: Since Everyone's a Freak, I Don't Have to Pretend Anymore, a woman-disguised-as-a-man story. Blurb at the end. Blurb: Shi Hanli was cool and handsome, and had just gotten a neat short haircut when she transmigrated into an apocalyptic novel. When she first woke up, she was covered in mud and blood. The sound of someone chewing flesh came from nearby, and a knife was coming straight for her forehead, ready to kill her as a “zombie.” The System arrived late and told Shi Hanli that a programming error had stopped her from becoming the silly, sweet female supporting character she was supposed to transmigrate as. Instead, she had transmigrated in her original body, so she didn't have to follow the plot. But she'd still inherited the evolution system that came with it. From now on, her only mission was to “stay alive.” Shi Hanli looked at the zombies spreading across the world, her eyes like a hungry wolf's upon spotting a flock of sheep. As time passed, it seemed that everyone in this world had developed some kind of mistaken impression. A male lead's subordinate knelt on one knee, gazing at her with reverence. “Big Brother Shi, your will is the direction my sword points. I will follow you for the rest of my life.” A male lead's confidante blushed shyly. “Hanli, you're the only warmth I can feel in this cruel apocalypse.” An apocalyptic villain willingly abandoned his obsession for her and returned to being a brilliant young genius. “If it's you, I won't oppose you.” The male lead himself admired her beyond words. “Brother Shi! Dad!” Whenever anyone else in the apocalypse heard the name Shi Hanli: “Master Shi? That's the jade-faced god of slaughter. How many lives do you have, to dare mess with him?” Shi Hanli: ... Wasn't this supposed to be the male lead's story? Why did everyone seem to think she was the male lead? 1. I'm terrible at writing blurbs for this story. The heroine is calm and formidable, and at the very top of the power scale (emphasis), with room to grow. 2. She has a golden finger, but she won't breeze through every challenge unscathed. I like seeing powerful characters get hurt. 3. An apocalypse survival story. There may be dark scenes. 4. The heroine's charisma is also at the very top of the power scale. Everyone, regardless of gender, is crazy about her. She is everyone's faith, support, and hope. If that bothers you, don't read. 5. The woman-disguised-as-a-man trope is just a genre and a kink. You don't have to accept or like it, but please respect others. No book can please everyone, so when you realize a story isn't for you, it's best for everyone to stop reading. 6. No unsolicited writing advice. I decide what I like. Thanks. 7. The title was shortened due to character limits. The full title is After Disguising Myself as a Man, I Was Mistaken for the Male Lead Because I Was Too Strong. The one-line description fills in the rest. It's just meant to clarify that the story uses the woman-disguised-as-a-man trope; there's no hidden meaning. 8. The romance will develop as it goes. I can't promise there will or won't be a pairing. It's not the focus of the story, but there will definitely be romantic scenes. Preorder blurb for Since Everyone's a Freak, I Don't Have to Pretend Anymore: Chu Cen, a traitor to the Empire and a marshal of the Federation, is on trial today. This man was thoroughly evil. Though he possessed the rarest S-class mental powers in the entire galaxy, he committed countless heinous crimes in both the Empire and the Federation. He was the youngest duke in the Empire, yet he attempted to assassinate the emperor and staged a rebellion, throwing the Empire into turmoil and earning a wanted notice for treason. Then he joined the Federation, where he lived extravagantly and treated others with cold cruelty. When someone defied him, he once ordered three neighboring star systems, including that person's homeworld, to be wiped out. The death toll reached hundreds of billions. Now, his former students and allies have finally united to bring him before an interstellar court, where he has been sentenced to the most brutal punishment in the galaxy. As the people of the universe shouted in fury and old acquaintances watched with complicated expressions, Chu Cen raised her eyes to the sun. Though she looked thin and cold, she smiled with ease and wild abandon. The whole Chu Cen transmigration business was such a mess that sometimes she didn't even want to think about it. She was a woman, but because the System had made a mistake, it had dumped her into a trashy male-lead-centric interstellar conquest novel as a male villain. She had to complete the mission and keep pretending to be a man the whole time. What a miserable life. As for the male lead, the unlucky student of hers, she couldn't see any talent in him at all. Chu Cen had skipped grades all the way through school, been admitted to a top university at thirteen to complete her bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees, then been recruited straight out of school by the government. She scoffed. Her life in the modern world had been glorious. Why would she want to play a villain destined to die? Still, to get home, Chu Cen held her nose and became the System's workhorse. She wasn't exactly a good person, but some of the villain's behavior was too lowbrow for her taste. Anyway, she only needed to hit a few key plot points. The original System: “Beep! You have to kill people. Otherwise, how will the saintly male lead come to hate you?” The later System: “...That's too much, sis! You're going way too far. You still have to live until the trial!” Chu Cen smiled slightly. “Don't worry. That monkey's got nowhere near the skill to handle his master.” Just as Chu Cen was swallowing her pride and happily completing the plot, ready to go home... The System went offline. Forced to stay in this world, Chu Cen had no choice but to find a way to survive the pursuit and blockades closing in on her from every direction. Her former student had taken her place as the Federation's new marshal. Her former friend had become the Federation's head of state. Her former enemy had ascended the throne as emperor of the Empire. Her former rival had become a famous wild man (crossed out) doctor without borders, known across the universe. Her former subordinate had turned into a notorious space pirate after her defeat... When they heard Chu Cen had escaped, they all scoured the heavens and earth. Even if she turned to ash, they'd dig her up. Everyone looked upright and indignant, yet each of them secretly harbored an unspeakable desire. Chu Cen was so arrogant that everyone before her seemed like a speck of dust, a piece of garbage. Yet she was so dazzling that anyone who had seen her could never make room in their heart for another. She was the cool, bright moon, the cruel winter snow, a blazing, dazzling, one-of-a-kind star in the universe. They wanted to possess the universe's one and only star, even if her radiance left them scarred, dim, and ashamed. So what if she's a man? As long as she stands at the very top, who in the universe can criticize her? Chu Cen: Since we're all perverts... I guess I don't have to hold back either, right? *Blurb subject to change. It's probably some melodramatic dog-training romance.
