I Transmigrated into an 1980s Book: They're All Devoted to Me

Please help by clicking to add this to your collection! Mwah~!

In 1988, Xiao Sun, a reporter for the Yanjing Entertainment News, was assigned to write a profile of You Qing, a rising director and writer who had moved from writing to directing.

Xiao Sun went to interview three of Director You's closest friends. One of them was her lover. He wanted to learn more about her daily life so he could write a better article.

First, he went to the Beiyang Fleet, where he met the youngest naval captain, Duan Cuo.

"You Qing?" The moment Duan Cuo mentioned her name, a tender, doting look flashed through the eyes that were usually so bold and resolute.

"She's so weak a breeze could blow her away. She can't even unscrew a bottle cap. She's suffered so much since she was little, so she cries all the time. She's a coward who never dares walk alone at night. And she's so thin-skinned: if anyone bullies her, all she can do is hold it in until her face turns red..."

"You Qing?" Lin Shunian, a handsome judge who had just finished hearing a case in court, returned to his office, took off his glasses, and tiredly pinched the bridge of his straight nose.

"Since she was little, she's been as strong as an ox. She could make a tractor smoke from turning the crank. If someone swung a stick at her, she'd grab a kitchen knife. Anyone who could bully her probably hasn't been born yet..."

"Qingqing?" Chi Wu, a rising Golden Dragon Award-winning actor who had just finished filming a car-racing scene, accepted a glass of water from his assistant and drifted into memories, his eyes full of tenderness.

"She's always clear-headed, kind, and independent, like a trumpet vine blooming high on a mountain. She can be as gentle as water or as strong as a mountain. She's grass on the plains, springing back to life when the spring wind blows."

Entertainment reporter Xiao Sun stared in bewilderment at the three interviews he'd collected.

Were they talking about the same person?

You Qing, an overworked office drone, accidentally transmigrated into the serialized period novel she was following, a story where readers could vote on the male lead.

Because the book's ill-fated supporting female character had the same name and childhood experiences as her, You Qing saw the tragic fate awaiting her after she went down the wrong path and couldn't help leaving the author an impassioned comment: "Can't you give the supporting female character a happy ending?"

In a flash, she transmigrated into the ill-fated supporting female character.

The author said, "Then you, keyboard warrior, can rewrite it yourself!"

You Qing: "..."

Other people transmigrated into books with some kind of golden finger or pocket dimension, but when she searched herself from head to toe, the only thing she'd brought was the company's fifth-anniversary gift: a keyboard.

More precisely, a keyboard with no power.

The System told her that the keyboard would gain power only when she earned the male leads' affection points, and each bar of power gave her just one keystroke.

She could return to the real world only by ending up with the true male lead. Otherwise, she would face the punishment of having the plot restart, or even the collapse of the world inside the book.

But damn it, this was a novel where readers voted for the male lead!

Before she transmigrated, she'd caught up with the latest chapter, and the heroine was still happily juggling three high-quality men!

Candidate No. 1: witty, sharp-tongued, and a gifted flirt, a naval ensign with off-the-charts fighting skills...

"Once I've caught someone, how could they possibly get away? Unless I'm the one who lets go."

Candidate No. 2: cold and secretly passionate, an aloof judge and a dangerously jealous man...

"A passing fondness is like a fleeting cloud, but deep love is like a long wind. I like watching her happiness, and the vulnerability she hides from everyone else."

Candidate No. 3: steadfast, patient, and a loyal celebrity who wears his heart on his sleeve, but is secretly a lovesick black lotus...

"Before she appeared, my world contained nothing but darkness and self-loathing."

To charge her little keyboard, she had to use every trick she knew and rack her brains to earn the male leads' affection points.

[For the details of her head-scratching efforts, please read the main story.]

Once she had power, she was delighted to discover that her little keyboard really could do amazing things.

She and her mother went to gather wild produce in the mountains. They were starving, but had only one hot bun left. She tried pressing [Ctrl+C], and one bun became two.

She went to demand child support, but her stepmother yelled at her and kicked her out. Then a stray dog chased her down the road. First, she pressed [Ctrl+X], then gritted her teeth and pressed [Ctrl+V]. The dog vanished in an instant, then appeared on her stepmother's kang bed, where she was eating the hot bun...

A neighbor's child got lost while playing. She pressed [F3], typed in his name, and quickly pinpointed his location.

She accidentally fell into a lake. She pressed [Ctrl+U], and a line instantly appeared beneath her, lifting her to the surface.

When all three male leads asked her out on the same night, she pounded on her keyboard until sparks flew, using [Ctrl+Tab] to flicker back and forth between them.

After countless maneuvers, You Qing finally discovered who the real male lead was.

It turned out to be...

[Fictional setting. Please don't overanalyze it.]

Looking for advance readers for my new historical romance:

Title: "Reborn, My Upright Ex-Husband Turns Into My Secret Lover"

[Both leads are reborn and resent each other; the hero must win back his wife]

[Hero: outwardly righteous and restrained, but actually obsessive and unhinged x heroine: outwardly sweet and spoiled, but actually perceptive and clever]

1.

In the eyes of others, Qin Guanlu was always an exemplary beacon of righteousness. In his previous life, the senior disciple of a martial arts school backed the wrong horse, devoting his life to risking everything for Ninth Prince Yin Tang. In the end, he was condemned to be buried with the prince. Only as he lay dying did he realize that the wealth and power he'd pursued all his life were fleeting. The only thing he could hold in his palm as he went into the grave was the lion-head gold bell of his late wife. If he could live his life over, he would let go of all his grudges and spend an ordinary life with his beloved junior sister, who loved him so deeply.

When Qin Guanlu opened his eyes after being reborn, he found his cherished junior sister, Yi Zhenqing, embracing their second junior brother, Yan Zhaoxuan, and kissing him passionately.

Qin Guanlu: ???

2.

The first thing Yi Zhenqing, the only daughter of the martial arts school's master, did after being reborn was cut up the wedding dress fabric. It had pricked her fingers countless times in her previous life, and she'd spent a full five years carefully sewing it. Now she turned it into a cloth for cleaning guns.

In her previous life, she had done nothing but circle around Qin Guanlu within the confines of the women's quarters. Then she saw with her own eyes how her husband, who had always been deeply respectful of their master, plunged his spear into her father's chest without hesitation.

She leapt onto the stage, tears in her eyes, and raised her arm to slap him, only for someone behind him to shove her off the high platform.

In this life, she would no longer be a helpless parasitic vine, clinging to someone else within the walls of the women's quarters. She would be the tough grass growing on a sheer cliff, springing back to life in the wind and rain when the spring breeze blew!

How could an embroidery needle compare to a red-tasseled spear?

3.

Yi Zhenqing was accidentally drugged and strongly resisted Qin Guanlu's approach. "I have a fiancé. I don't need you. Go get Yan Zhaoxuan..."

"Someone far away can't help when you're in a tight spot."

Qin Guanlu pulled her back. "Besides, the wildflowers are always sweeter than the ones at home."

"Isn't it fun to turn an ex-husband into a secret lover?"

4.

"I taught you the Young Swallow's Kill as a life-saving move back then..." Qin Guanlu glanced at the red-tasseled spear stuck in his shoulder and smiled at Yi Zhenqing, who held it. A line of blood ran from the corner of his mouth. "But you didn't learn it well."

Furrowing his brow and gritting his teeth, he pulled the spear from his chest, then guided Yi Zhenqing's hand to plunge it into his heart again.

Blood sprayed across Yi Zhenqing's face.

"You have to stab here to kill with one blow," he chuckled. "Know that now?"

One-on-one romance, both leads have only ever been with each other.

The story revolves around the tradition of lion dancing and is set during the Kangxi era of the Qing dynasty.

Theme: Women should be self-reliant and have all their wishes come true
