I Went Viral Overnight After Sleeping for a Hundred Years

[Main story complete]

As the most beloved daughter in her family, Liu Yiyi has always gotten whatever she wanted. Then an accident leaves her in a deep, unending sleep, turning her into a Sleeping Beauty.

A hundred years later, she isn't awakened by a prince's true love's kiss. Instead, it's the racket made by a film crew and a descendant so many generations removed that she has no idea how they're related.

"My parents are abroad, so I'm the only one at home right now."

"We have a maid who handles things like cooking. She only comes by at mealtimes."

"That noise? It might be my cat making a racket."

When popular young actor Liu Yu appears on a celebrity lifestyle observation show, viewers are shocked to see a girl suddenly appear on camera. Her long black hair falls to her waist, and she's wearing a high school uniform from the Republican era.

The girl is lively and beautiful, with a slight resemblance to Liu Yu, like someone who has stepped out of a hundred years in the past.

Facing a world full of strangers, she says coolly and matter-of-factly, "You've woken me up."

???

The air falls instantly silent.

A few seconds later

Viewers: Liu Yu! You said nobody else was home! Is that what your cat looks like?

Liu Yu: Holy crap, the Sleeping Beauty matriarch at home is awake?

Before joining the show, Liu Yu's straight-guy image was unshakable.

Real men never go into the kitchen.

Taking a girl shopping? That's not something a proper man does.

Why not just sleep when there's nothing to do?

After the show starts, Liu Yu:

Cooking for his ancestor.

Taking his ancestor shopping.

Teaching his ancestor math.

Viewers: Liu Yu, you've changed!

Liu Yu: You don't understand. A difference of one generation in the family tree can crush you! And she's even senior to his grandfather!

Halfway through the show, Liu Yu suddenly receives a private message from another guest on the program.

His sworn rival, Fan Yaozhi: Give me your little ancestor's contact details, and you can pick any resource I have.

Liu Yu: Get lost!

Next novel: The Substitute Female Lead Is Actually Socially Anxious

Socially anxious Xu Di transmigrates into a book.

The bad news: She becomes a stand-in for a powerful man's beloved first love.

The good news: Though the first love looks exactly like her, she's naturally unable to speak and is a pitiful, helpless soul.

-

First day as a stand-in:

At a revolving restaurant, the powerful man serves Xu Di food and says, "Your favorite, sashimi and foie gras. Have some more."

Xu Di has never eaten any of it. The moment she tries it, she finds it incredible. She eats a little at a time, nodding enthusiastically.

-

First week as a stand-in:

The powerful man celebrates his beloved first love's birthday. "Happy birthday, my darling. Even though you can't speak, I'll always love you."

"Make a wish."

Xu Di clasps her hands together, shuts her eyes, and makes a solemn wish: May he talk less so she can get to the ice cream cake on the table as soon as possible.

-

After a whole month as a stand-in, the powerful man is the first to lose patience.

He grabs Xu Di by the shoulders and stares deeply into her eyes. "Why won't you speak?"

"Speak, Xu Di!"

Xu Di blinks at him, confused.

But... wouldn't speaking ruin the beloved first love's character?

Mm, she's a stand-in.

She always keeps that in mind.

No matter how much he's tried to get her to speak, Xu Di has stayed dedicated to the role and refused to utter a word. She can't let the powerful man waste his money.

The powerful man: ...

Theme: Make the most of every day.
