I Can't Possibly Be the Female Lead [Zombies]

Please add my ongoing novel "Can Low-Tier Elemental Powers Win the Championship?" and upcoming novel "Huaxia Museum" to your reading lists!

That day, Lou Yi, a high school senior, stayed home to rest after catching a fever from being out in the rain.

When she opened her eyes again, she found herself staring into a pair of blood-red eyes.

!!!

It was a zombie.

Then Lou Yi learned a few things.

First, this world had originated from a zombie novel.

Second, she'd been asleep for ten years.

Finally, she was a female supporting character in a male-oriented post-apocalyptic novel, and one who died early.

Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

She was Lou Yi, the Chosen One! How could she be a supporting character?

Still, she deliberately made a different choice from the one in the novel and stayed away from the male lead.

Well, she just wanted to try another path. It definitely wasn't because she was afraid of dying!

But somehow, Lou Yi still kept running into the male lead.

The zombie horde arrived right on schedule. Lou Yi unleashed her power, and three dice spun at once. She silently chanted, Black 6, Red 6, Black 6, Red 6, Black 6, Red 6.

When they stopped, the black die showed 6, and the red die showed 6.

Lou Yi gained the temporary power of [Teleportation].

Great!

She was instantly transported from the zombie horde to a spot right in front of three zombies.

Three zombies were much easier to deal with than hundreds or thousands.

Not bad luck at all.

Except...

These were three Zombie Kings!

Zombie Kings!

And there were three of them!

Waaah, fate is out to get me, Lou Yi!

Many years later, all was calm, and humans and zombies were no longer enemies.

One person loved chatting with children in the park. "I'm the Chosen One, you know! I'm really amazing! The ten years before the apocalypse were so terrifying: scarce supplies, social order in chaos, and everyone fighting to the death with zombies. But I just closed my eyes and opened them again, and skipped those ten years entirely."

Child No. 1: "Wow~"

"Later, three big villains kept ordering hordes of zombies to harass everyone. I just flashed over, punched one with my left fist, another with my right, then kicked the last one in a spin. I beat them so badly they crawled on the ground, begging me to spare them."

Child No. 2: "You're so amazing, big sister!"

Child No. 3: "I want to grow up to be just as amazing as you!"

Child No. 4: "I want to beat up bad guys too. Teach me, big sister!"

One of the big villains: "..." If I hadn't been there, I might almost have believed her.

Lou Yi paid no attention. With all those little kids praising her, she lost herself in the moment, looking so smug you could practically see a tail wagging behind her.

Please add my ongoing and upcoming novels to your reading lists!

Ongoing novel: "Can Low-Tier Elemental Powers Win the Championship?"

The Military Alliance Tournament is the hottest military academy livestream program since elemental powers appeared.

Many officers who left their mark on interstellar history once distinguished themselves in the tournament.

The tournament has team and individual events, and any military academy student can enter.

Many viewers start watching with the tournament's second round, where 100 teams compete to advance to the top 25.

Viewers notice that one of the 100 teams stands out remarkably.

They're conspicuously weak: their mental strength and elemental powers are the worst of all the teams.

Some viewers watch a replay of the first round.

Good grief, the six of them only formed a temporary team.

Four have low-tier elemental powers, while two have mental strength rated A or higher.

One awakened three years late, one has competed for years without ever making it to the second round, one is petite, adorable, and pink, one is refined and delicate, one is so fat they don't look like a military academy student, and one is so handsome they don't look like one either.

The tournament has been running for hundreds of years, and no one with low-tier elemental powers has ever advanced to the second round.

"Luck! It was definitely luck!"

"Someone who awakened three years later than everyone else dares to enter the tournament!"

"That's not the point. The point is that her elemental power is so useless, yet she still entered. She has no idea how out of her depth she is!"

"Is this team called the Low-Tier Team? Hahaha, they've gathered the most useless elemental powers in the entire galaxy."

"Hahaha, and their captain looks so weak, all skinny and small. Will she be eliminated ten minutes after the match starts?"

"I'll bet a hundred star coins that the petite pink-haired member will cry her eyes out."

It wasn't just the netizens. Even the team members themselves thought they'd be eliminated at any moment.

After all, that year, three highly anticipated prodigies enrolled. All three had high-tier elemental powers and S+ rank mental strength.

The viewers all speculated about which of the three prodigies would take the championship.

No one knew that the team everyone had mocked and bet against, certain they wouldn't survive the second round, would ultimately win the team championship.

The individual championship was also won by Tan Xi, the low-tier elemental power user they'd looked down on.

The netizens were all forced to eat their words.

"I was wrong, sis! You're my goddess!"

"So I was the one who cried my eyes out! Waaah!"

"That was so cool!"

"Is that really a low-tier elemental power?"

On the awards podium, Tan Xi and her teammates raised their trophies and cheered, while the screen behind them showed their highlights from the tournament.

That year's tournament was so dominated by Tan Xi and her team that even the prodigies with high-tier elemental powers and mental strength seemed to fade in comparison.

Upcoming novel: "Huaxia Museum"

(Title and blurb are undecided. I just want to write a story about discovering Huaxia civilization in the interstellar age.)

Xi Mingyue isn't human.

Or rather, she isn't human now, though she used to be.

Now she's just an ordinary little white bird.

This is an era where several civilizations coexist. There are monkeys, tigers, snakes, even elves and dragons, but there are no humans.

To Xi Mingyue, this is a vast interstellar age of animals.

Civilization is important. Both the Interstellar Alliance and the leaders of its planets need treasure hunters to discover more civilizations.

Xi Mingyue is a treasure hunter, but no one has much faith in her.

She's a bird, without the natural advantage of species that live underground and can dig up artifacts buried beneath the earth.

On top of that, her mental strength is only a measly C rank.

No one will hire her.

So she takes matters into her own hands and buys an extremely remote planet well outside the Alliance's borders.

It's a barren, desolate place, covered in white as far as the eye can see.

Xi Mingyue struggles along, livestreaming her treasure hunt.

All the viewers try to talk her out of it.

"Streamer, your mental strength isn't suited to treasure hunting. Find something else to do."

"Civilization once existed in this dump? Impossible. Don't waste your effort."

After three months of digging, Xi Mingyue finally unearths a skeleton.

From that moment on, a civilization lost in the depths of interstellar history gradually comes into view for the citizens of the galaxy.

Xi Mingyue's museum goes from being a no-name museum that netizens agree only fools would visit to the only ninth-grade museum in the entire galaxy.

Whenever tickets for the Huaxia Museum go on sale, countless citizens seem to cry into their little handkerchiefs. "Waaah, I didn't get one again!"

Bonus Scene:

Xi Mingyue uploads her latest find, a battered cat teaser wand, to the Cosmic Domain platform to be rated.

Using holographic technology on the platform, citizens of the galaxy can experience the history of the cat teaser wand from every angle.

At first, the cat citizens who enter the Cosmic Domain see the so-called human holding the wand and making the black cat run all over the place. Their fur stands on end with rage.

Sanhuahua hisses. "How dare you!"

Li Xiaohua bares her sharp claws. "Insolence!"

Ju Jiujiu says coldly, "How dare you toy with our kind like this!"

Then a warm hand gently strokes the black cat from head to tail.

The cat citizens experiencing the same sensation feel their bodies go limp. They lie on the ground and unconsciously expose their bellies.

Sanhuahua, Li Xiaohua, and Ju Jiujiu put on high-pitched, sweet voices and meow, "Meow~"

This is even better than the best masseur on Meow Planet.

Theme: Human will can triumph over fate
