Li Pandi Wants to Change Her Name Again Today

The synopsis for my currently updating novel, Saving Tragic Heroines [Quick Transmigration], is at the very bottom. Please add it to your reading list!

Synopsis:

Li Pandi was the youngest daughter in her family. The first time her grandmother praised her, it was to say she was better than all five of her older sisters: at last, she'd brought the family the boy they'd been hoping for.

She was still too young to understand, but she already instinctively resented the meaning of her name.

She was never an easy child. She wasn't obedient, sensible, well-behaved, or sweet. She was born with more defiance than most: if she was scolded, she talked back; if she was hit, she ran.

With uncommon clarity and resilience, she grew bit by bit, exploring the world around her.

She struggled for over twenty years along a road full of thorns and traps, until at last she gained the freedom she should have been born with.

Later, one ordinary yet sun-drenched afternoon, thirty-two-year-old Jin Xi stretched out on an orange rocking chair and opened a letter her eighteen-year-old self had written to her future self.

"What a childish little girl," she mused. She twirled her pen twice, then solemnly wrote at the end of the letter: "Thank you."

[Reading Notes]

1. This isn't a wish-fulfillment story, but it won't be relentlessly bleak, either. It's about an ordinary girl's growth, from age seven into her thirties. It won't be too long, around 200,000 characters in total.

2. The female lead won't fall in love or get married, and she won't have romantic feelings for anyone. A minor male character might have a one-sided crush on her, but she will turn him down.

Currently updating: Saving Tragic Heroines [Quick Transmigration]

Chen Yun dropped out of high school and went away to work. She failed at several business ventures, picked herself back up each time, and eventually reached the top of her industry, though her health continued to deteriorate.

In the latter half of her life, she devoted all her energy to charity, helping countless girls like the person she had once been.

On the day she died, a System found her and asked her to save women facing different hardships across three thousand small worlds.

She gladly accepted, continuing the work she had left unfinished...

[The 1980s and 1990s]

She was a girl from the mountains. From the day she dropped out of school, she could see the fate that awaited her: cooking and doing laundry, farming and earning money, bringing her parents a hefty bride price, then marrying and having children, repeating her mother's life.

It was the arrival of her cousin, Chen Yun, that changed everything. Chen Yun helped her stay in school, gave her unconditional love and care, and showed her a different world.

"You're who I was when I was young. I stumbled through hardship all the way, and I'll do everything I can to make your path a little easier."

[Historical Arc One]

She was once the famous courtesan of the capital, whose smile was worth a fortune. But after her beauty faded and her chronic illness proved incurable, she was wrapped in a straw mat and thrown out. As she lay dying, her childhood friend Yun'er brought her home at any cost.

"Who says saving a fallen woman is something only men can do?"

"She only wants to live. What did she do wrong?"

[Entertainment Industry]

Being a fan had once been the only thing that made her happy. Dating the celebrity she idolized felt even more like a dream.

Then the dream shattered, and the truth disgusted her. She said she hadn't known he had a wife and child, but no one believed her. People cursed and attacked her, and her last bit of hope vanished. Her life felt like a pathetic joke.

Then Chen Yun, an actress so obscure that nobody knew her, suddenly spoke up for her. Despite the backlash accusing her of chasing clout, she told the girl, "You're not the one at fault. That scumbag is. You have to keep living, then expose him!"

[Historical Arc Two]

She was a Grand Princess who had done everything in her power to help her younger brother take the throne. But the brother who had been her only family stabbed her in the back in the cruelest way.

When she no longer saw any point in living, her personal maid, Chen Yun, asked her earnestly, "Your Highness, don't you want to drag him down and take the throne yourself?"

[Apocalypse]

She was an ordinary person who had awakened no special abilities and could only rely on her boyfriend to survive, until he personally pushed her into a horde of zombies.

Chen Yun saved her, and through her daily guidance, the girl came to understand that she had to make herself stronger.

[Xianxia]

She was the junior sister cherished by the entire sect. Only when she was at death's door did she realize that their so-called affection was poison wrapped in honey.

The sect's founding ancestor, Chen Yun, emerged from years of seclusion and sternly warned everyone:

"I've seen enough stories where one person is sacrificed to save all living beings."

"You keep saying you want to save all living beings. Isn't she one of them?"

[Please Note]

Chen Yun has no romance plot. Her relationships with the people she helps are familial, friendly, or those of kindred spirits.

Some of the people she helps once had feelings for male characters, who appear only as background and whose past relationships won't be described in detail. None of these men are any good, and they were the source of the women's suffering, so these stories also end without romance.
