I Transmigrated into a Book, but the Author Is Illiterate

Qian Yanting transmigrated into a book.

Qian Yanting has to complete every part of the cannon fodder's storyline in the book he transmigrated into before he can go home.

Qian Yanting has no idea how serious the problem is.

The author of the book he transmigrated into may be illiterate...

**

The cannon fodder was originally a stunning beauty from a theater troupe, famed throughout the capital. The male lead buys him and gives him to the Ninth Prince as a male lover

Qian Yanting transmigrated into the book a little too early.

He arrives just as the cannon fodder's censor father, a man of integrity who speaks his mind, offends the male lead's family, whose head is the Empress Dowager's nephew. The emperor flies into a rage, has the father sent to the Imperial Academy, and throws the whole family into prison to be tortured.

Qian Yanting: ...

The Imperial Guard who came to arrest the family: ???

Wait, the Imperial Academy??!

The System goes back to check the novel and regretfully reports that the author is illiterate and mistook the character "academy" for "prison."

So, at the age of five, Qian Yanting is escorted off by the Imperial Guard to attend one of the country's top universities. Before three years have passed, he is renowned throughout the capital as a child prodigy, making the neighbors next door so jealous they practically disintegrate.

Later, Qian Yanting's features mature, and he becomes a peerlessly beautiful young man in his prime, constantly coveted by rich young masters.

A powerful, philandering second male lead lusts after his beauty and wants to pay a fortune to take him as his "sworn younger brother," so he can use him as a substitute for the male lead and torment him every day.

The System helpfully coaches Qian Yanting on how to act: The cannon fodder has already fallen for someone else, so you need to reject him in grief and indignation. After suffering this humiliation, pick up all the money you were paid to sell yourself and hurl it at the second male lead's head, shouting, "You lecher! Who wants your filthy money?"

The System continues: Then your ruthless rejection will anger the second male lead. He'll think you don't know what's good for you and will hold a grudge against you, his little substitute. That's when he'll send an old eunuch to buy you and give you to the mentally unstable Ninth Prince.

Although Qian Yanting isn't a helpless young performer from a theater troupe, he follows the instructions anyway.

It's just that the fortune he was paid to sell himself weighs a bit too much, and he accidentally leaves the second male lead half-paralyzed when he hits him with it.

Attacking a member of the imperial family is a serious crime. The outlaw is wanted throughout the country...

Lying in his sickbed, the second male lead swears he will capture the beautiful man who attacked him and tear his skin off!!!

The System and Qian Yanting: ... The author didn't count anything while writing, did he??!

Oh, so that's what "falling out" means. The logic fits together perfectly, and the execution is incredibly powerful!

Later, by developing technology, Qian Yanting becomes the Ninth Prince's rebel army strategist.

An assassin who comes to kill him hides a dagger soaked in deadly poison inside a map he presents, planning to reveal the weapon once the map is unrolled.

The System says that once Qian Yanting gets through this, he can go home.

Qian Yanting: Got it. Jing Ke Assassination 2.0.

But when he stabs Qian Yanting, blood gushes everywhere, and yet Qian Yanting is fine. After his wound is bandaged, he can still stay up that night reviewing memorials.

The System goes back to look at the original text, then returns with regretful news: The poison the author wrote about was king cobra venom. Snake venom is a protein, and the weather was hot on the way here, so the protein denatured and the poison stopped working...

The author's setting sounds mighty and impressive, but the results are a complete joke!

Qian Yanting loses his chance to go home...

**

One night, Qian Yanting suddenly feels a wave of heat surging through his body. The cool, aloof beauty is drenched in sweat, panting sweetly, his eyes glistening with desire.

The System tells Qian Yanting that, according to the rules, he is supposed to play the cannon fodder, and going out of character means he will be punished. He's gone so far out of character that he's practically on the edge of the world, so now it's time for his punishment!

The punishment is, his body will display the original owner's personality twice as strongly for one night!

The System says the original owner was a delicate male lover and young performer, with a very feminine personality.

Qian Yanting takes a deep breath, puts on the women's clothes the System prepared, and sits on the bed waiting for the heat to subside.

By midnight, the cool, aloof beauty is wearing a bright red wedding robe, panting and feeling worse by the minute. The System goes back to check the novel and returns with the regretful news that the author has made another typo: the original owner's personality was supposed to be that of a male lover and young performer who was very "lustful"!

Aaaaaah, this author really is completely illiterate!!!

A tiny mistake can lead to a huge difference. Qian Yanting has no choice but to brace himself against the wall and jump into the lotus pond to ease the rising desire in his body.

A hand reaches out of the darkness, clamping around the trembling, panting beauty like an iron hoop. The old fox, who has been waiting for this moment, finally shows his tail...

"On our wedding night, I kept the Empress waiting too long. That was my fault."

"Your Majesty, you can punish me properly tonight. Why jump into the lotus pond?"

The dog emperor, the former mad Ninth Prince, the real author, and the Heavenly Dao of this world scoop up their other half and speak with satisfaction.
