Synopsis
The novel is complete. Read with confidence.
Coming next:
"Getting By in a Mysterious World Through the Study of Folklore"
Lin Aowei, a folklore scholar, worked herself to death while applying for a research project to support her promotion to professor.
Her dying wish was: If she got another chance, she would take better care of herself, and then do even more research!
When she opened her eyes again, she discovered she had transmigrated.
She had transmigrated into a mysterious world where supernatural forces ran rampant.
The Church ruled this world, heretics lurked in the shadows, sorcerers fought, and ordinary people suffered.
Transmigrated as an ordinary person, Lin Aowei quietly curled up into a ball.
So dangerous, so scary, so terrifying. Staying alive comes first!
As for academic research and all that, she could leave it for her next life. That was what she thought.
Perhaps her dying wish had been especially powerful, because supernatural incidents kept coming her way. She could only rely on her knowledge of folklore from her previous life and cautiously try to stay alive.
She enters a terrifying fairy tale. While everyone else fights desperately and tries to escape, Lin Aowei analyzes its symbols and contradictions, solves it with ease, and turns the tables on the sorcerer.
She is put on trial as a heretical witch. While everyone else desperately tries to prove their innocence, Lin Aowei points at the chief judge. "You've got a huge mole on your neck. That's a witch's mark! You're accusing others of what you're guilty of!"
When faced with a terrifying vampire, everyone else seeks holy water and garlic to drive it away. Lin Aowei quietly hides to the side and analyzes the vampire's family tree. Then, on a scorching summer day, she finds the cemetery of the vampire clan and burns them all to ashes.
By laying low, Lin Aowei not only survives without a scratch, but accidentally achieves the goal she had in her previous life: becoming a professor of folklore and a world-famous scholar.
She also becomes things she never aimed to be in her previous life and never wanted to become: a top sorcerer, the head of the most powerful secret society of heretics, and the one who sealed an evil god.
Completed novel in the same genre: "I Can See the Rules"
Blurb:
Rong Mingyan transmigrates into a melodramatic historical romance novel.
When she arrives, her twin brother, who had been held to the highest expectations, has just died. Her father and two older sisters will also die tragically before long. As a cannon-fodder supporting female character, she is destined to enter a brothel and become a famous courtesan, then meet the male lead years later, live for a few years as a substitute for the heroine, and die.
Rong Mingyan: What the heck! I have to avoid this melodramatic plot!
She considers her identity in the book: a descendant of a great Confucian scholar.
Then she considers her own level of education: a PhD in the humanities.
Then she recalls the book's rules for the imperial examinations: She can pass herself off as a man!
With a setup like this, not taking the imperial exams would be a terrible waste!
After convincing her family, she changes her name to Rong Jing and takes the exams in her brother's place. From then on, she charges ahead and rises to great heights. She sweeps the county, prefectural, and academy exams, earning the title of Threefold Little Champion; she sails through the provincial, metropolitan, and palace exams; she takes first place as the provincial, metropolitan, and palace graduate in succession; and she strides confidently into the Golden Throne Hall.
Beyond the great hall, a tall, beautiful princess blushes and twists her handkerchief shyly. "The top scholar is so handsome! I love him! I want to marry him!"
This novel is also known as "The Cannon-Fodder Supporting Female Character Becomes an Invincible Hero", "My Father Thinks I'm His Grandfather", and "Me, Disguised as a Man! My Love, Disguised as a Woman!". But please believe me, this is definitely a proper imperial-examination novel.
Content warnings:
1. The protagonist disguises herself as a man. If you're a fan of male leads taking the imperial exams, don't argue. Let's each do our own thing.
2. The focus is on building a career, with little romance. One-on-one, both leads are each other's only partner, happy ending.
3. Some elements are based on real history, while others are fictional. Please don't scrutinize the details too closely.

Coming next: "I Use Sarcasm to Make My Husband, a Concubine's Son, Grand Secretary"
Yang Yinyin transmigrates into an imperial-examination novel and becomes the wife of the male lead's younger half-brother.
Her husband is a supporting male character, a foil to the male lead, a legitimate son who is a triple exam champion and serves as Minister of Personnel. He is timid, stupid, insecure, and meek, spending every day in the shadow of his dazzling older brother.
The original owner is a supporting female character, a foil to the heroine, a lady from a distinguished family. She is from a merchant family, ignorant and foolish, has no filter, and speaks in a sharp, sarcastic way. She often makes everyone around her furious, then gets scolded and punished.
The couple spends several years in a chaotic marriage. Then, after one particularly brutal fight, they both fall off a cliff and die.
Just transmigrated, Yang Yinyin thinks: I'll turn over a new leaf, support my husband, help him build his confidence, and encourage him to be himself. So easy!
"Ding! The Host has been detected exhibiting out-of-character behavior. Please stop immediately and maintain your sarcastic persona until you kick the bucket. The Host will then receive a huge reward and a brand-new life."
Yang Yinyin: What the heck?! It's bad enough that I transmigrated into a book, but now I'm bound to a ridiculous System too!
Under the System's overwhelming power, Yang Yinyin has no choice but to grit her teeth and play the role of a sarcastic shrew.
When her husband is scolded by his tutor, she says through tears, "No way, no way. Surely no one could fail to recite The Great Learning? Even I know the opening: 'The way of the great learning...'"
Her husband is deeply shaken. He thinks he has actually been outdone by this ignorant woman, so he stays up reading by lamplight and earns praise from his tutor the next day.
When her stepmother takes the dowry from her maternal family, she covers her mouth and says, "This overpowering stench of money is giving me a headache. Mother is so elegant and refined, it would be even worse for your health. You'd better stay away from these vulgar things."
Her husband watches as she gets her dowry back, then takes out a few taels of silver and says reluctantly, "Help me carry my dowry away and lock it up. Here's your reward. Spend it on clothes or books, whichever you like."
Her husband: Why am I clenching my fists but still unable to hit her?
Yang Yinyin plays the sarcastic shrew as she waits to kick the bucket. She waits and waits, until her husband, who used to glare at her, starts looking at her differently; until their once noisy, quarrelsome days become peaceful; until her once mediocre husband takes first place in all three imperial examinations, enters the Cabinet, and becomes Grand Secretary.
They say Grand Secretary Gu is handsome and dashing, learned, and iron-handed, the very picture of perfection. Except for one thing: he's afraid of his wife. He spends his entire life by her side, with no other women around him. They say his wife isn't a virtuous, well-bred lady, but an ignorant woman who speaks in a sarcastic, cutting way.
Coming next: "I Can See the Rules"
A car accident temporarily blinds Xu Zhi. With her parents' loving care, she recovers quickly. Just before she is about to see again, a line of blood-red text suddenly appears in her mind.
[Rule 1: Do not let 'it' discover that your eyesight has recovered.]
Xu Zhi is about to tell her parents when she should get another brain scan, when the bedroom door opens and two paper figures appear in the doorway.
"Child, dinner is ready," says one paper figure. Its voice and tone are just like her father's.
"We made your favorite mocha and pasta," says the other paper figure. Its voice and tone are just like her mother's.
Her "father" holds a dirty glass full of thick, blood-red liquid. Her "mother" holds a chipped porcelain plate covered in writhing maggots.
Xu Zhi: !
The red text appears in her mind again:
[Rule 2: Do not eat anything 'it' gives you, or you will become one of 'its' kind.]
[Rule 3: If you refuse food three times in a row, 'it' may get angry and even suspect you've discovered something. If you can't put 'it' at ease, 'it' will take some kind of forceful action.]
[Rule 4: Escape before the blood-red moon rises, and find a room with no way in or out to hide in. Be careful: you must not be exposed to moonlight.]
[Rule 5: If you fail to follow Rule 4, immediately go to an open road and look for a woman with three legs. She will tell you what to do. Be careful: if she asks how many legs she has, she may get very angry and give you the wrong answer if you answer incorrectly. But you must answer, or something even more terrifying will happen.]
Only later does Xu Zhi learn that the world has been invaded by 'It' and has long since fallen into disorder, gradually becoming chaotic, distorted, and evil.
Luckily, she has bound herself to a Rule System, which lets her see the rules and gradually set this world on the brink of collapse right again.
Rules for reading this novel:
[Rule 1: This novel is still in its unhatched state. If you want to meet 'It' sooner, please add it to your favorites.]
[Rule 2: Read this novel during the day, then forget about 'It'. Do not read it at night, especially before going to bed.]
[Rule 3: If you feel uncomfortable at any point while reading this novel, stop immediately, get up and exercise, bask in the sun, breathe fresh air, and repeatedly chant, 'May all taboos be banished.']

I spent money to read them all. My initial impression is that the proposition is very novel and the plot has many unexpected surprises. However, the worst thing about this article is the lack of adjectives. For example, there are many references to the obscene smiles of many people, the silly smiles of idiots, crooked smiles, etc., Which not only do not fit the identity of the characters, but also do not fit the character's identity. It can establish a good impression for readers, but it has been repeated too many times and has no new ideas. Why can't Zhilan Yushu be appropriately replaced by Mo Shangren Ruyu, the young master is unparalleled, Qingfeng Langyue has changed the depression of the past, why can't you use a narrow smile when teasing others, and can't use a sly smile when a good idea comes to your heart? Isn't "Confident and somewhat evil, raising one corner of his mouth to look at you with a half-smile" better than "a crooked smile"? The article is also a bit anticlimactic. The structure of the opening chapter is very exciting, but in the later stages, the logic becomes confusing. The male and female protagonists understand that they are guilty of deceiving the emperor, but can other ministers and people really accept the number one scholar becoming a woman so quickly? Also, is the implementation of female households too fast and too casual? Regardless of whether it is an imaginary dynasty or not, there are times when the failure experience of the predecessors is there, especially the people who are accustomed to thousands of years of feudal society and feudal ideas. They will not accept it quickly due to emotion and reason.
It's a very good sweet and refreshing article. Some of the plots are a bit far-fetched, but that doesn't stop it from being sweet, refreshing and funny. Overall not bad.
I doubt whether the front and back were written by the same person...
It's all over, and the vest has not fallen off. The most speechless thing is that the family knew about it and still kept it from the protagonist. It can't be said that it is wrong. If it was my family who kept it from me, I finally know that they must have some ideas and will not let such family members participate in important things in my life.
I know that I should learn to get used to the days without Rong Aotian, but the day after I asked for leave, I couldn't bear it anymore, and even had the idea of doing a second job. More than one million words is not only a number, but also an emotion placed in the words, whether it is for me, you, or other readers. The days without updates are really hard. Opening Green River every night and waiting for the big update is almost engraved in my biological clock. The thought of saying goodbye this month is like losing a netizen who has shared joys and sorrows and been with me for several months. A few months is neither long nor short, but it is enough for emotions to penetrate into the heart and habits to be written into daily life. Although there are not many viewers for this topic, and there are even very few comments, DaDa still guarantees to update every day regardless of the weather, and even on weekends there are basically thousands of updates. The weekend used to be just a day for me to rest, but now it has a deeper meaning. It is your constant writing and the perseverance of our readers that make an article grow from a few thousand words, plus one, plus one, plus one, all the way to a huge number. I also tried to write articles. Over the course of a year and a half, I wrote 100,000 words intermittently. To be honest, it's hard to keep going. What's more, it's not a popular subject. But I firmly believe that love brings courage and endurance. I love this subject so much that I have the courage to write, but I don't have the stamina to finish it from beginning to end. I just don't love it enough. Because of this, when I see that a beloved article is about to come to an end, although it is hard to let go, I also feel a sense of pride. Thank you very much for your courage to think, dare to do, perseverance, excellence, and never give up. As a lazy reader, I rarely catch bugs word by word, but here, I have unknowingly developed the habit of catching bugs word for word, just because I hope that great works will become brighter and shine with a unique and beautiful light. I hope you don't find it annoying to catch bugs. If you find it annoying, then there aren't many chapters where you can find it annoying. However, this habit most likely varies from text to text, and it is probably more difficult to carry it over to other texts. Every time I encounter a good article, it is like going through a short or long journey, making people reluctant to let go of the hands of friends who share the joys and sorrows. But I also feel that all feasts in the world come to an end, and the story ends here, which is the best ending. I didn't understand before, and always thought that the more extras the better, but later I realized that blind procrastination will affect the integrity of the story and turn a good article into a different kind of "bad ending". Of course, if you are willing to write, I will still be happy to read it, because this is the difference between a low number of words and a dog food. Over the years, I have read many, many articles about women dressing up as men. But there is almost no one. By the end of the text, no one has dropped his vest in front of the male protagonist. To be honest, it was very novel, more like ecstasy. There is a feeling of excitement like fishing pearls from the sea. Because of my unique personal hobbies, I like to drop the vest late, so that I can see more of the male protagonist's struggle and pain, depression and compromise, acceptance and determination, courage and pursuit, and then being hit hard by the truth later on. It's exciting to think about it. I can't wait. I'm back to the initial state of writing this message, waiting for updates. I originally wrote this message just to express my feelings about waiting for the update, but without realizing it, I said a lot more. Thank you for watching until the end.
Hee hee hee, "a happy lover", Her Royal Highness the Princess gave all her wealth to Rong Jing, I really laughed all the time.
Now that I've seen it, I feel like it's a bit high and low. At the beginning, it was really about taking the imperial examination and fighting bad guys. Later, the emotional scenes involved too many, and it felt like it was intellectually subdued.
From this point of view, Lin Jing is really a good match! Hurry up and learn the magic of time!
Woohoo, there are more updates. I want to cry while waiting. How many days are left until the finale? How can I live?
It's so uncomfortable to be stuck here, woo woo, looking forward to tomorrow's update!!!
