The Original Female Lead, Whose Fortune Was Stolen, Is Reborn in the 1980s

Only after Xia Zhaozhao died did she learn that she was the heroine of a sweet romance set in the early years of a new era, but someone had stolen her luck, leaving her to die a tragic death.

Reborn in 1983, the year she was replaced and lost her place at university, she didn't want her life to follow that so-called script.

She didn't want to become the heroine of a "sweet romance," nor did she want to become the heroine of a "revenge story."

Those weren't the only two paths her life could take.

She boarded a southbound train and set out on a very different path in life.

Upcoming story, When Monsters Fall in Love: Blurb↓↓↓

[Quick transmigration + a sweet romance mashup with nonhuman love interests]

[All the male leads are nonhuman, with different personalities. The one thing they have in common is that they're hopeless romantics.]

[Third-person narration. The heroine has no memories of previous worlds, so each world can be read as a standalone story.]

1. I couldn't stand my little sidekick's blubbering, so I took the so-called horror livestream invitation from them. I thought it was a boring prank, but I didn't expect to really be dragged into the game. Faced with the thick fog and the fishmen chasing after me, I panicked and ran into a rose manor. I saw a garden full of roses, and a man who looked a lot like my crush.

I swear, I wasn't just falling for him because of his looks, but he was truly so charming. I had to come up with a way to get him to confess to me first.

2. For my college graduation trip, I chose to travel with my best friend to a coastal city. It was my first time seeing the ocean, and honestly, it wasn't a pleasant experience. I was swept out to sea by a rip current. Maybe my ancestors had been banging their heads on the ground in the afterlife, because I survived against all odds and was rescued. Later, I fell in love with my rescuer, but gradually I sensed something was wrong. Why was there a bundle of tentacles under my boyfriend's blanket?

3. Good news: I transmigrated, so I didn't have to face the enormous debts left behind by my terrible father. Bad news: I transmigrated into a beastfolk world and looked up to see a giant serpent, which had just swallowed a mammoth, transform into a human. Worse news: The serpent mistook me for dessert and seemed to want to find some fruit to serve with me.

4. What should I do if I wake up to find that I've been arranged to marry a dead man? The groom has a puffy face and is trying to give me a jumpscare at point-blank range. My response: Run, and run as far away as possible! The escape is like a battle royale. Luckily, I meet a house spirit who is trapped. It takes pity on me and offers a deal: I'll set it free, and it'll drive away the ghosts for me. Hesitating for even one second would be disrespecting my own life, so I immediately snapped the red cord tied around the locust tree. But I kept my wits about me and secretly tied the cord around my hand. If it went back on its word, I could use the cord against it. Hehehe, I'm such a clever little thing!
