After Entering a Mary Sue Novel by an Author Who Never Fills in the Plot Holes

Sorry, my bad, readers.

Character traits: Frequently foolish X intermittently unhinged.

The champion of groveling apologies X the domineering, cold-hearted Demon Lord

[The Demon Venerable's identity is partially revealed. The story is lighthearted and funny.]

[The female lead is righteous to the core and spreads socialist values.]

[1v1, mutual healing, male lead is beautiful, powerful, and tragic.]

[The pacing got messy as I wrote, and the plot went beyond the outline.]

The story of a dramatic little white flower who scrapes by and, along the way, spirits away a beautiful member of the demon clan.

Ahahahaha, good news, good news! Shi Wenzhe isn't dead, and she's transmigrated into a book!

She touched her smooth, luxurious feathered robes and decided she must be either a rich young lady or a peerlessly beautiful woman. Surely she'd have a tragic background early on, then amaze everyone later and become a hero who saves the world. Shi Wenzhe's grin stretched from ear to ear. She rubbed her hands together, ready to accomplish great things.

Sadly, she later discovered she wasn't a protagonist at all. She was nothing but an ordinary little white flower.

Literally: a white flower demon!

At best, she was an NPC.

No matter, Shi Wenzhe thought. She wasn't human anymore, so she could live for a very, very long time. That was a pretty good deal.

Ahahahaha, Shi Wenzhe threw her head back and laughed. Before she could finish, the System told her she had transmigrated into a book she herself had written.

Shi Wenzhe's heart sank. Something was wrong.

What... what kind of book could she have written? Trembling, Shi Wenzhe thought back. Besides the one she had written when she was ten, probably in the third grade of elementary school, she hadn't written any others.

The novel was called "Conquering the World." In theory, it was a fairly clichéd cultivation fantasy. The male and female leads started out as good-for-nothings, rose to power, rebuilt their sect, then killed the Demon Venerable and upheld the righteous path of the mortal world. After overcoming many hardships, they chose each other and finally ascended to become immortals, free to roam the three realms.

It was a fairly normal plot, except for one tragic detail: it was written by ten-year-old Shi Wenzhe, a product of an elementary school student's romantic fantasies.

Damn it! What could an elementary school student possibly know about romance?!

So even though the novel was dressed up as a romance and touted the defense of justice, it was actually an absolute piece of garbage: sentences that made no sense, illogical events, melodramatic twists, and a chaotic mash-up of all kinds of tropes and memes.

"Oh ho ho ho ho!" Shi Wenzhe covered her mouth and rolled around laughing.

Just thinking about how she had transmigrated into the Mary Sue novel she wrote in her edgy teenage phase made her laugh hysterically.

Because it wasn't just a Mary Sue story. The novel had an unfinished ending, too!

Ahahahahahahaha! Shi Wenzhe gasped for air and screamed in a faint voice, "Help!"

The System told her to save the world, but she had no idea how. She had left plot threads hanging, the plot was a mess, and the ending was unknown. Besides, she had written the book from the female lead's point of view. She wasn't the female lead, so how was she supposed to know anything? She had a System, which should have been a great help, but unfortunately it was a broken System: half-dead, pretending to be dead before springing back to life, and unable to answer a single question. It was so casual she thought it was a management game. It wasn't urgent or serious at all.

Besides, the male and female leads were righteous to the core. She was just a passerby NPC, so the world didn't need her to save it.

So she watched from the sidelines, rolled up her sleeves, and embraced farming. Every day, she did nothing but grow crops, determined to lead the poor, backward demon clan into a moderately prosperous society and promote the hardworking, courageous virtues of Flower Growing Country, so every little demon and monster family could have enough food and clothing and flourish.

Shi Wenzhe was having a wonderful time playing her farming game when the righteous sects attacked. Well, she'd been watching from the sidelines, and now the fire had reached her.

Mommy, help!

Shi Wenzhe clung to the Demon Venerable's leg and trembled as she watched the male and female leads face off against the villainous Demon Venerable.

The Demon Venerable took her little hand. His expression was both helpless and affectionate. "What are you afraid of? I'll protect you."

Shi Wenzhe stared at the Demon Venerable, whose character had completely fallen apart, and went berserk. Wasn't he supposed to be a murderous, cold-hearted, unpredictable demon lord?

Who was this man looking at her so affectionately?!

She couldn't even farm in peace anymore.

Waaah, Shi Wenzhe broke down.

But after Shi Wenzhe became the Demon Queen, she discovered, hey!

She could develop agriculture openly and legitimately. That made her incredibly happy.

But then she realized she'd forgotten that she was on the villains' side.

Waaah, Shi Wenzhe burst into tears.

Agriculture collapsed, her people died, and her husband died, too.

Shi Wenzhe struggled helplessly until the System finally came back after pretending to be dead.

The System told her, "Sacrifice yourself to the righteous path and set karma right."

Shi Wenzhe thought, "Fine. I'm tired of farming anyway. If I die, I die. Then I won't have to get up at sunrise and go to bed at sunset anymore."

Ahahahaha, Shi Wenzhe threw her head back and laughed, bitter and resolute.

As long as her people and their land were safe, and the people she loved were alive, it was all worth it.

Happy ending.

Theme: Evil cannot prevail over good.
