After Becoming a Hit Novelist in the Nineteenth Century

The novelist Jenny transmigrated into the nineteenth century as the youngest daughter of a declining noble family.

Before transmigrating, she had no parents. Afterward, she had parents, all right.

But her father was mild-mannered, her mother was ill, her sister had dropped out of school, her brother never left the house, and she herself had broken off her engagement.

The whole family was shrouded in gloom.

Jenny silently picked up her pen:

She started with the three classic K-drama tropes: cancer, car crashes, and incurable diseases.*

Her novel, Falling for My Fake Cousin, brought every London socialite and lady to tears and made her an overnight sensation.

Next, she wrote a story about transmigrating back to the Middle Ages, with farming and food.

Her descriptions of sizzling roast beef, sweet and fragrant caramel pudding, and colorful, delicious eight-treasure roast duck sparked a new food craze in London's restaurants. They say even Queen Elizabeth praised them.

Finally, she jumped on a hot trend and wrote detective fiction, adding an older-woman-younger-man romance and a love triangle.

Her epic serialized novel went on to dominate the childhoods, youth, adulthood, and old age of an entire generation.

As she wrote, the money rolled in, along with letters from her fans.

Jenny realized something was wrong. Why was she getting letters from Miss Elizabeth, Miss Jane Austen, Watson, and others?

I must have transmigrated wrong.
