[I’ll revise it when I have time!]
A carefree ancient storyteller x a cute, fiercely protective fan
-
Shen Yunshu transmigrates into the body of the daughter of a poor bookstore owner whose business is on the verge of closing. Worse still, after her father dumps the bookstore on her, he takes her mother off to enjoy their life as a couple.
Shen Yunshu has no idea how to run a bookstore, so she can only fall back on her old trade and try to save the place.
"A childhood sweetheart and a new arrival get into a fight, but the childhood sweetheart takes the new arrival's side. So whose fault is it?"
"Consort Ning and Consort Su argue, and Consort Su gets pushed into the water. What on earth is..."
The plots are familiar, and the melodrama is practically wafting off the page. The ancients, who've never seen anything like this, are dumbfounded, but a moment later they're completely hooked.
"Even though I know the tropes, I still can't help wondering what happens next. Author, you have no heart..."
"I'm different. I think about it every minute of every day. I even revisit the story in my dreams."
No supernatural stories? Coming right up!
"Why is this so scary? Is this what a supernatural story is?!!!"
"I don't even dare look at my doll now. I feel like it's going to turn its head and stare at me any second. Sob..."
"Anyone want to form a group and walk home together?"
No food stories? Coming right up!
"I want to eat food like this too, boss~ Hurry up and make it like the book says, please~"
"Seriously, don't read this in the middle of the night. It'll make you hungry. How do I know? Because I'm eating a midnight snack right now!"

When palace intrigue and real life start sharing plot points, Yan Qiuyan heads to the bookstore to get the latest gossip. She never expects to be completely captivated the moment she starts reading.
"Author, finish this many chapters over the next few days, and the money is yours!"
Later on.
Yan Qiuyan: "Stop writing and look at me. Let me kiss you. I've missed you so much."
Shen Yunshu: "If I don't write, you won't have anything to read~"
Yan Qiuyan (torn): "Can I have both?!!!"
[Reading Guide]
1. The female lead was transmigrated into a fetus. She and the male lead were childhood friends, but they lost touch for a while. This is a marriage-first, love-later story.
2. The male lead can be a little unhinged (?) and a bit childish, but not too much.
3. The setting is original and isn't closely tied to some common knowledge about ancient times.
Theme: There's no need to fear being in desperate straits. Believe you can overcome every difficulty.
