I Transmigrated into a Book About the Imperial Exams, and the Cannon Fodder Is Putting on a Show

(Coming soon: "One Thought," my next novel)

Blurb: [Woman in disguise as a male thief who seduces and robs men x graceful young gentleman with a dark heart]

Modern office drone Murong Yun is sick of working 996. A malfunctioning System picks her by lucky chance, and she transmigrates into a book as a cannon-fodder character in an imperial examination novel. To change her fate, she decides to disguise herself as a man and take the exams.

Who knew she'd become the chosen one? The malfunctioning System assigns her a slack-off mission: gain knowledge by slacking off!

While others study themselves to the bone, she kicks up her feet, dozes, and snacks on melon seeds.

While others pore over their books all night, she climbs over the wall, skips class, and buys roast duck.

She easily takes first place in the provincial exam. Life is a stage, and life itself is a game. So this is what it feels like. Amazing.

As the book's second male lead, he's buttoned up and refined by day, yet sneaks into her boudoir at night?

A 996 office drone has transmigrated into a book. This time, she intends to get a taste of both a career and a handsome man.

Murong Yun pressed a silver needle to his throat and teased him:

"Sneaking into your classmate's room at night... are you perhaps into men?"

Could a huge free pie really fall from the sky? No, it couldn't.

Shangguan Xuan used an assumed name to take the imperial exams. The road he wanted to walk had never had anything to do with his identity.

At the academy, he worked diligently without ever slacking off, yet could only come in second?

That spoiled young master Murong Yun spent all day playing, yet somehow had a head full of knowledge?

Shangguan Xuan had met all kinds of people: dull scholars who had studied for ten years, hypocrites who fawned on everyone they met. But he'd never met anyone like Murong Yun, who lived so freely and vividly. Murong Yun always acted in ways he couldn't predict.

He sneaked into Murong Yun's room and got caught. The other man teased him at every turn, and he kept his distance, but he couldn't stop himself from looking at Murong Yun.

Then they both fell into the water, their clothes soaked through, and Shangguan Xuan was astonished.

"Why is your body different from mine?"

He discovered Murong Yun was a woman and thought he could finally pursue her openly. Instead, she repeatedly dined and dashed...
