A Slacker's Guide to Transmigrating into a Book

[Complete. Comments are open. Please support the official release. If you're interested, check out my completed and ongoing novels in my author profile.]

Song Zhi died from staying up too late and transmigrated into Song Shuyi, the good-for-nothing junior sister in a gender-swapped harem novel she'd only read the blurb for. This body had terrible aptitude: she couldn't lift anything heavy, and got winded after walking a few steps. Most importantly, in this cultivation world where the strong preyed on the weak, she had no cultivation.

She didn't have the female lead's golden finger from the blurb, either.

All she had was a System that kept going offline and loved making snide remarks.

This kind of start would be bad enough to make you restart even in a game.

She gave up. She didn't want to do this anymore. But the System was not only sarcastic, it was unbearably noisy, insisting that she wouldn't get to go home unless she completed her missions.

Song Shuyi had no choice. Song Shuyi gritted her teeth. Song Shuyi made a voodoo doll of the System behind its back.

"Host, please behave appropriately. Do not insult the System."

There was nothing she could do. She couldn't beat this crazy System, so she could only endure the humiliation.

Song Shuyi decided to slack off in secret while doing a few missions on the side. Her main plan was to wander around her sect and bond with her senior brothers and sisters.

For example, arranging to steal Fifth Senior Sister's chicken with Third Senior Sister on a dark and windy night, only to be caught red-handed by Eldest Senior Brother. Or sneaking into Second Senior Brother's quarters in the middle of the night to ambush him, and nearly getting her head sliced off by his sword. Things like that.

Still, she believed that with her abilities, she could surely unite everyone in the sect, provided that... she survived her senior brothers' and sisters' attempts to hunt her down.

But among all those people, one was different. He always stood apart from the crowd, his indifferent gaze seeming to watch her, yet also seeming to look at something else.

Eldest Senior Brother cultivated the Path of Ruthlessness. The Wuhui Sword at his waist was famous throughout the world. He seemed especially averse to smiling, always cold and indifferent, but after gradually getting to know him, she discovered that he wasn't quite as he appeared. In fact, he had a certain unexpected gentleness.

Whenever she stumbled into danger, Eldest Senior Brother was always the first to come to her side and protect her until she was safe. His flirtatious peach-blossom eyes seemed to grow tender only when he looked at her.

But who could have known that behind those coincidences lay a carefully laid scheme?

"Junior Sister, I have you to thank for trusting me."

That day, he stood on a high platform, his snow-white sword piercing her heart as he smiled meaningfully.

It was him. He had tempted her into the abyss of lust, only to destroy her utterly. Those flirtatious peach-blossom eyes held the world's coldest, most indifferent chill.

[Naive, tsundere junior sister Song Shuyi x scheming, manipulative Eldest Senior Brother Jiang Shenyan]

[An evolving female lead, with a slow-burn romance. Please be patient as you read.]

Reading Guide:

Happy ending. The male and female leads are a one-on-one couple, so read without worry.

There are misunderstandings between the leads, all of which will be resolved later. Earlier and later plot points are connected, so please don't spoil anything.

There is a relatively large ensemble cast.

The male lead is quite manipulative and insincere early on, and the female lead has a long growth arc.

The female lead is not a powerful, independent heroine, but she has her own personal growth arc. The male lead is not a conventional sweet, doting love interest, and he will come into conflict with the female lead.

Enjoy!

New novel: After a Green Tea Cultivator Latches Onto Me. Blurb:

[Sweet, silly, naturally clueless female lead x male lead who puts on a sunny act but is a scheming black lotus]

[She is the unreachable bright moon in the night sky, who just happens to illuminate the dim woods]

Beloved, naturally clueless darling of everyone x a sweet-talking, black-hearted man who pretends to be innocent and has a gloomy, underhanded streak

Li Zhaoyue is the only disciple of Zhu Ming, the greatest sword immortal on the Floating Island. Ever since she was little, she's been adored by everyone and has had everything she could want. But lately, something has been bothering her for a long time.

What on earth is up with the new guy, Xu Xing?

He's fairly strong, gentle in nature, and loves to study, yet he's been assigned to the completely useless Feng Shui Institute. Supposedly, he even volunteered for it.

And for some inexplicable reason, he's nice to her.

Li Zhaoyue was puzzled, so she asked him.

The young man had already understood what she hadn't said. With a bright smile, he replied, "Senior Sister, I'm in love with you."

That day, Li Zhaoyue fled in a panic and even threw out the storybooks she loved to read in the middle of the night.

Word has it that a swordsmanship prodigy named Xu Xing has joined the Yizi Institute, but because of Li Zhaoyue, he enrolled in the useless Feng Shui Institute.

"Hey, I heard this guy likes Senior Sister Li?"

"Huh? But isn't Senior Sister Li childhood friends with Senior Brother Xie?"

"What do you know? A new arrival beating out a childhood sweetheart is the exciting kind of story."

Hearing this, Li Zhaoyue blushed again and hid behind a wall, too embarrassed to speak.

According to rumors, Zhu Ming, the sword immortal of the Yizi Institute, was killed by a rogue cultivator who suddenly appeared. Her only beloved disciple is weak, and to survive on the Floating Island, where the strong prey on the weak, she is to marry Xie Feng, the top disciple of the Yizi Institute.

Everyone envied this marriage. Xie Feng was the cream of the crop among this generation of young prodigies. Given time, he would surely become the next sword immortal, and might even surpass Zhu Ming.

But on the wedding day, that rogue cultivator descended from the sky and abducted the bride.

[Reading Guide]:

Both leads are virgins. One-on-one romance.

The male lead is two years older than the female lead, but because they entered the academy at different times, she calls him Senior Brother.

The female lead is sweet and naive, the kind of sweet and naive who isn't very bright, not a do-gooder!

The male lead's attitude toward the female lead changes, and he may not be sincere at first.

The male lead is a bit of a smooth talker, with a sarcastic, snide style.

There is a groveling arc.

The day-to-day romance is very, very sweet. The blurb describes the groveling arc!!!

Theme: Stand on your own feet and learn to love others
