Pretending to Be a Cool Guy in a Holographic Skateboarding Game

Ming Jiajian is an extreme-sports photographer.

Naturally aloof, she's obsessed with freedom and adrenaline.

Her photos and videos of towering waves among the sea of clouds, taken at the risk of her life, satisfy her fans' longing for ocean exploration.

Until one day, an unexpected giant wave slapped her into the sea...

Then, as if by fate, she woke up in a small bathtub and choked on a mouthful of water.

Ming Jiajian: ...? Soul transmigration?

The original owner asked her to fulfill a wish, then completely handed over her body.

Ming Jiajian neither agreed nor refused: Whoever cares. Just treat me as dead.

At first,

she was just playing around to see how it went, but when she took off on the wind, she felt the familiar taste of freedom...

Skateboarding had developed from surfing several hundred years ago into an extreme sport, so she adapted quickly.

So Ming Jiajian created the persona of a mysterious, cool guy in black, took the alias [Taosu], and entered the full-dive skateboarding game Heart to Heart.

The music and lights blazed. The host rode a cyberpunk hoverboard and shouted excitedly, "Welcome to the wild skateboarding game! Let's go heart to heart!!!"

[Taosu] had stars in his eyes: This is the right place. I love this crazy energy!

User avatars lit up for the game's live-streamed competition. [Taosu! Welcome to this skateboarding extravaganza!]

Comments from the audience: [Taosusu! Mommy loves you!]

[Baby! Look at Mommy!]

[Is the person above sick?]

[Exactly. He's obviously my son.]

In the real world.

Ming Jiajian, wearing the handsome young man persona [Taosu]: "..."

I wonder what these mommy fans will do when they find out I'm a woman in real life...

Reading guide: (Please, please, please, give it a look!)

1. For a certain reason, the female lead pretends to be a young man in the game, though only temporarily, at the beginning. If that's not your thing, please skip it (doge.jpg).

2. ("Please check the volume labels") The Fair Play: Four Rings volume has a long buildup and slow pace. Skip it if you don't like that.

The Collaborative Garden Party team competition, which takes up a large portion, should be more fun. It's also where the author writes most smoothly.

1. No romance. The female lead has a strong sense of purpose.

2. Ensemble cast, passionate skateboarding sports competition. Sports are never a one-person passion! Let's go, let's go!

3. The main draw is the contrast between online and offline personas and identities. The narrative perspective changes when the setting switches.

4. They meet in the game first, then later meet up in real life with their fun friends!

Hope you enjoy reading, dears! December 12, 2023,

The Genius Potioner's Rules

[Fake and real heiresses + escaping the plot + academy + adventure]

Blurb One: Character-focused

One day, Song Wei transmigrated into a Western fantasy novel about swords and magic.

And she became the family's villainous fake heiress?

According to the clichéd plot, after the real heiress heroine is brought back, the fake heiress will keep courting disaster to make the heroine look good, then end up infamous and die penniless in a foreign land!

Pah! There's no way she's waiting around to "die"!

Song Wei hastily packed her things that very night and ran away from the earl's estate!

But after finally escaping the territory under the earl's control, Song Wei was surprised to discover that surviving out here was even harder!!

In this Western fantasy world, where magic spells are prevalent and vicious beasts and foreign races are running rampant, lands outside the nobles' territories receive no protection from magical barriers.

A gigantic beast with scarlet fangs stood before Song Wei, its teeth smeared with fresh, bloody flesh.

Its gaping maw was inches away, and blood splattered across Song Wei's face.

Then Song Wei was rescued.

But her rescuer wasn't a knight in silver armor. She was a cool, aloof girl.

The magical runes on her silver sword had yet to fade. The girl was dressed plainly and was no noble, yet she carried herself like a handful of fresh snow atop a mountain peak, proud and dignified.

Song Wei: ???

That bearing! That radiance! That strength!

A chance encounter with the heroine? The real heiress!

According to the established timeline, the real heiress would soon be brought back to the earl's estate, and the fake heiress, who would keep courting disaster, would be driven out.

At this chance encounter outside the plot, surely the clichéd, normal course of events would be for the fake heiress to get rid of the real one as quickly as possible.

Who could have guessed that the power-hungry villain with a new soul inside her would hug the real heiress's leg: "Help me, sis!" Take me along while you slaughter them all. You do the slaughtering, and I'll cheer you on.

Real heiress: "..."?

[Blurb Two: A full-throttle career-focused story]

The whole continent knows that the Earl of Abigo's family in the east is not to be trifled with.

Their signature talent for manipulating ice and snow, combined with the magic spells empowered by their bloodline, can freeze thousands of miles of rivers in an instant.

But the Earl of Abigo's extraordinarily beautiful daughter is a "disgrace to the family," born unable to sense the elements of ice and snow.

Little do people know that, after a long and unprecedentedly brutal war against monstrous beasts and evil spirits, peace has finally returned to the continent.

The kingdom holds a grand, lively celebration of merit, where young academy mages are awarded honors.

And the legendary Chief Genius Potioner, who single-handedly changed everyone's perception of potioners as mere support staff and could determine life and death on the battlefield with a wave of her hand!

Is actually the same person as the beautiful but foolish daughter of the Earl of Abigo???

In the kingdom's ceremonial courtyard, at that very moment...

The academy's honored genius mages gathered around a long table, as relaxed as they would be at an ordinary afternoon tea and cookie gathering:

The usually reserved blond elven junior suddenly blurted out, "What do you mean, a foolish heiress?! She's been fighting me for the top spot in the academy's potion studies rankings for years, and she hasn't missed out on a single prize!"

Song Wei, who nearly choked on her tea and lost her composure: "...I should've known better than to put truth serum in your tea just to ask about your special potion recipes."

The elf, his ears turning red: "..."

[Highlight: Unlike traditional stories where the fake and real heiresses are assumed to be enemies, this silly author wants to write a story about two heiresses who admire each other.]

(The older sister excels at enchanted swordsmanship, combining the best of the family's ice and snow magic with swordplay.

The younger sister is a potion-making genius, naturally beloved by magical creatures, and a master of elemental potions.)

(A little sister-complex.)

[Important: Read before starting!]

1. Unlike traditional stories where the fake and real heiresses are assumed to be enemies, this silly author wants to write a story about two heiresses who admire each other.

2. The key plot rules of transmigrating into a book cannot be changed, so characters may be unable to escape their predetermined endings (Hmm? Angst?).

3. The setting is a Western fantasy story about fake and real heiresses. The real heiress will have a somewhat clichéd boy-girl romance.

4. The setting is a Western fantasy world, with a little bit of divination, academies, magic spells, and foreign races, plus original worldbuilding. The female lead throws herself into her career!

(The real heiress's name is still being considered. The plan is to launch this during the summer vacation.)

Theme: Youthful, free, and passionate
