Transmigrating Into an Old-School Novel With My Childhood Friend

"Danger at Every Turn: The Prince's Seven-Day Beloved Concubine" is an over-the-top, angst-ridden period novel. Zhu Fu stayed up until the middle of the night twice to finish it, then asked the question on everyone's mind:

"How can this possibly have a happy ending?"

When she woke up, Zhu Fu discovered that she'd become the heroine of the book, who shared her name.

Zhu Fu: "Huh? Me?"

In other words...

The poor soul who'd get her eyes gouged out, her kidneys harvested, and be locked up and tortured was her?

No, please! Someone's going to kill me!

Zhu Fu's vision went black.

"Congratulations, Host! You've successfully activated the themed quest: 'How Do We Save This Wretched, Terribly Botched Story?'"

"Please follow the plot as instructed. Each time you complete a mini-goal, you'll earn the right to change a corresponding character! You'll also get tons of points to redeem for great items in the shop!"

Zhu Fu: Help me up. I'm ready to cause more trouble.

One day, Zhu Fu ran into an assassin. In the original story, she was "held at knifepoint."

Zhu Fu changed "knife" to "meal."

The assassin held Zhu Fu at meal-point.

The assassin's entire worldview crumbled: "..."

What mysterious Eastern power is this?

Another day, the First Prince spoke rudely and acted arrogantly.

Zhu Fu redeemed "Bad Luck" from the shop and bound it to the First Prince without hesitation.

After going through heaven and hell, the First Prince finally had his mouth plugged with bird droppings.

The First Prince: "..." Feed me peanuts.

Afterward, the First Prince refused to believe it was all bad luck and tried to get revenge.

Zhu Fu: You picked a fight with the wrong person. You're in for a world of hurt.

She redeemed a "Truth Serum" and poured it over the First Prince.

In full view of everyone, the First Prince opened his mouth and said, "When is that old bastard Father going to hand the throne over to me?"

The Emperor could barely breathe: "..." What a dutiful son.

Kill, kill, kill! Hurry up and kill this devoted son!

The First Prince, once he'd come to his senses: "...?"

Have I gone mad? Has someone set me up?

Zhu Fu quietly took all the credit.

Of course, sometimes things got out of hand.

[Host has deviated from her character. Punishment mode activated.]

As the punishment began, Zhu Fu serenely closed her eyes and let fate kick her away.

"You audacious maid! How dare you take liberties with the prince! Drag her away and beat her to death!"

A eunuch's shrill voice rang in her ears. Zhu Fu opened her eyes in alarm, only to see a familiar face.

Before the guards could rush over, the man raised a dignified hand.

"I was wondering who'd be so bold," he said with a playful smile, lowering his head to lean toward her, bedraggled as she was. "Turns out it's a little wildcat."

Zhu Fu: Haven't seen you in a few days, buddy. Did you take a roll in an oil field?

Good news: her good friend and childhood sweetheart, Qi Yu, had transmigrated too.

Bad news: the two of them had just fallen out the day before they transmigrated.

Even worse news: he was the male lead.

"Let's work together," Zhu Fu said through gritted teeth. "As for what happened before... let's pretend it never happened."

"Sure." Qi Yu smiled faintly, shifted into a more comfortable position, and raised his chin at her. "First, call me Brother Qi Yu."

Is he crazy?

Zhu Fu rolled her eyes and kicked him.

[Host has deviated from her character. Punishment mode activated.]

As Qi Yu laughed uproariously, Zhu Fu suffered one calamity after another.

When the punishment ended, Zhu Fu looked at Qi Yu's grin and felt a wicked idea take hold.

[...Qi Yu was sitting on a chair...]

Using her newly earned character-changing power, Zhu Fu changed [on] to [under].

The next instant, the chair vanished from under Qi Yu. He crashed to the floor with a thud, and a chair appeared out of nowhere, trapping him.

Zhu Fu walked up to the chair and crouched down.

"Come on," Zhu Fu said with a smile. "Call me Big Sister Zhu Fu and I'll get you out."

Qi Yu: "..."

P.S.:

1. The old blurb had been up for too long, and I ran out of inspiration, so I changed it to a different setup. If you mind, feel free to remove it from your collection.

2. A lighthearted, silly, satisfying story. Cute and fluffy, with no brains required.

3. One-on-one, both leads are each other's only partners, in and out of the book.
