I'm Really Just an Ordinary Person!

No romance, a story of people reading too much into things, tons of one-sided crushes

Qiao Lai transmigrated to another world.

The world was in chaos, full of supernatural phenomena and supernatural humans.

Qiao Lai had no money, no identity, no education, and no supernatural abilities. She even had to learn the language from scratch.

Things were dire from the start. She lived in constant fear, walking on eggshells every day, hoping she could survive one day at a time on the royalties from her flop novels.

Unfortunately, even when she didn't go looking for trouble, she was always dragged into one bizarre mess after another. Her survival was thanks to her righteous nature and the good karma she'd built up in her past life.

What Qiao Lai never imagined was that she thought she was playing the part of a cautious woman just trying to survive on thin ice, when in reality

The Secret-Keeping Bureau had classified her file as top secret. Qiao Lai herself was regarded as the most mysterious truth-peeker, codename: [Novelist].

In this supernatural world, humans with mysterious powers are called truth-peekers.

These truth-peekers form various organizations, fighting or exploiting the strange incidents brought about by the supernatural.

The largest organization is called the Secret-Keeping Bureau.

The Bureau's archives contain top-secret files on high-risk truth-peekers from various organizations.

Qin Lin, codename: [Director], affiliated with [Red Top Theater], danger level SSS. His productions dare to cast the supernatural as the protagonist, then bring it under his control.

Wei Qinghe, codename: [Musician], affiliated with [Starlight Council], danger level SSS. The effects of his work are enough to destroy an entire city.

You Lin, codename: [Doberman], danger level SSS. Formerly affiliated with [Kennel], he was the top assassin under [Dog Trainer], but was tamed by [Novelist].

Zhu Qili, codename: [Insect Mother], danger level A, currently unaffiliated. Potential danger level SSS. She is in the pupal stage and could hatch at any time, summoning a swarm of insects.

Codename: []...

Codename: []...

Qiao Lai, codename: [Novelist]. Abilities unknown, danger level unknown. However, remember this at all costs: if you encounter her during any incident, raise the incident's emergency level to maximum, then do not approach her. Leave immediately! Warning! Do not approach. Leave immediately!

Qiao Lai had no idea what the Secret-Keeping Bureau was, nor what truth-peekers were. All she knew was that, at some point, all her neighbors, who had once been "kind and simple," had been replaced by a bunch of idiots.

For instance, a third-rate director moved in next door. He was always shouting about turning her stories into movies and calling her his "muse," but his productions were even harder to rate than her flop novels.

Qiao Lai could only sincerely say, "Well, good luck with that."

Upstairs lived an annoying musician who not only played piano in the middle of the night and disturbed the neighbors, but also liked to wake Qiao Lai at dawn to listen to his compositions.

Qiao Lai: "You force me awake to listen to your lullaby, then ask if I'm sleepy? What kind of person does that?!"

The owner of the pet shop downstairs was a cosplayer decked out in finery who called herself the Countess. For some inexplicable reason, she asked Qiao Lai where her rabid Doberman was, claiming she'd raised it for ten years before Qiao Lai stole it from her.

Qiao Lai rolled her eyes. "If your dog's rabid, take it for its shots! I can barely support myself. Why would I steal your dog?!"

When it rains, it pours. As if being chased for the dog wasn't enough, the person Qiao Lai had once kindly rescued kept camping outside her door every day, begging her to adopt him.

The guy was mute, six-foot-five, and completely blocked the doorway!

Trapped inside, Qiao Lai scratched the wall in despair. "Look at those muscles! You could easily make a living hauling bricks at a construction site!"

The one who needed to be adopted was her, the real flop writer!

Qiao Lai's only comfort was her sweetest little reader, who was also her biggest benefactor. The reader's ID was [Insect Mother]. They left comments and tips on her flop novels every day, praised her as the greatest [Novelist], and said that once they truly evolved into an insect mother, they'd bring their insect children and grandchildren to help her make the bestseller list.

Qiao Lai: Sure, that's pretty chuuni, but this little angel really is so heartwarming!

And then there was the [Red Moon Society]. Could they please stop handing out flyers downstairs and trying to recruit her? They offered no free eggs and still charged a membership fee. A broke person like her would never join!!!

1. No romance, but tons of one-sided crushes, including ones not mentioned in the blurb. Characters of all genders are involved! The heroine never flirts or falls for anyone. She's a born loner, completely immune to romance.

2. A story of people reading too much into things. The other world has supernatural powers, but the heroine has no special abilities from beginning to end. She simply has a good attitude. Her motto is: No matter how bad things get, stay positive. Eat when you're hungry, sleep early when you're tired.

3. Lighthearted and silly, with no angst or melodrama. The heroine has no hidden identity or past. Away from home, her identity is entirely a product of other people's imagination.

4. The heroine's identity will never be exposed. To everyone else, she will always seem mysterious and unfathomable, but she has no idea.

5. Most importantly, the heroine is a tall, 178-centimeter, bespectacled big sister with a wolf cut!

Theme: Keep a level head. If things aren't working, they still might.
