[Quick Transmigration] Don't Mess with the Script

As a six-good youth of the new era, Tang Wenxin's favorite thing to do is ignore the usual script while wearing an innocent, adorable face.

She never expected to wake up one day as a mermaid, with a lousy System chattering in her ear about some sort of Plot Correction System.

System: First of all, you've become a mermaid.

Me: And then!

System: Then you need to be like the mermaid in the fairy tale, save the prince, and fall into a tragic romance with him.

I raise both hands to show that the prince has already been saved. "All right, I saved him. What next?"

System: Next, you need to... wait, you're still underwater and haven't come ashore, so why the hell are you raising both hands? The prince... sank to the bottom. He's dead.

Me: No problem. We can have a love beyond life and death.

System: Put that down! I said put it down! The ghost-slaying talisman is for killing ghosts, not dating them.

Me: Oh, okay. So, tragic romance. There's just one last step left. To complete the mission, I'll scatter his ashes. Then I'll have perfectly achieved the tragic romance ending!

[Interstellar Arc]

System: Your job is to play your role and follow the plot. Don't change things!

Me: Sure, no problem!

System: Play the exiled imperial princess and meet the rebel leader on a garbage planet.

I pull out a laser cannon and level the garbage planet. "Encounter complete! He's my prisoner now!"

System: ...That's the male lead! The plot requires him to pick you up!

I immediately stuff the rebel leader into a recycling robot. "Now he's 'picked' me up!" (*￣︶￣)

[Period Drama Arc]

System: Play a sent-down youth and build revolutionary camaraderie with the handsome accountant in the village.

I repair every tractor in the village overnight. "Now I'm the commune's technician!"

System: The accountant is crying! You turned his ledger into an Internal Combustion Engine Repair Manual!

I pull out a palm-sized computer. "Tch, should I teach him to use an abacus instead?"

System: ...No, where did you even get that thing?

[Supernatural Arc]

System: Develop a tragic romance with the thousand-year-old Zombie King.

I pour black donkey hooves into the coffin. "Falling in love after marriage is still love!"

System: Stop! That's the purple jade bangle that was supposed to be your betrothal token, not a sealing artifact!

The Zombie King crushes the hooves. "Having fun, darling?"

[Dream of the Red Chamber Arc]

System: Keep to Lin Daiyu's character and bury the fallen flowers.

I touch my nonexistent glasses, then pull out an incinerator. "Batch processing is more efficient."

System: ...

The System loses it: Is the flower pouch in Second Master Bao's hand for you to put ashes in?

[Infinite-Flow Novel Arc]

Theme: Life may bring its share of surprises, but it should be lived with optimism and a positive attitude!
