Shi Yao transmigrated into a book, landing in the Mary Sue novel she'd written back in high school.
Back then, she had been immensely pleased with the pure and innocent, universally adored heroine she'd created, and had cried bitterly for the second, third, and nth male leads who couldn't win her love.
Who wouldn't praise such a brilliant author?

Years later, Shi Yao graduated from college and became an overworked wage slave. One night, she got home from work and collapsed onto her bed, reminiscing about her happy high school days.
And, by the way, she remembered that novel.
So, feeling excited and a little embarrassed, she opened the website she'd used back then and clicked on her story.
Then it shocked her to the core.
"Why did I give the heroine the same name as myself?"
"Why is the heroine such a ridiculous, universally adored beauty?"
"Why is she so awful and fake?"
"Why does everyone at school like her? Seriously?!"
Shi Yao: Thanks for asking. I don't dare look. :)

Shi Yao went to sleep feeling embarrassed, only to be roused by an urgent voice: "Miss Shi, wake up!"
Shi Yao: ? If I remember correctly, I'm a wage slave earning three thousand a month right now?

Content warnings!
1. Elementary-school-level writing
2. The heroine just wants to slack off, not work hard
3. There is a male lead, but he's not any of the male leads from the original Mary Sue novel!!
4. The chapters are all fairly short
Theme: Say no to being a wage slave. Let's head toward the future together!
