Chapter 01
Cosplay
Hello, dear audience!
Itās that painfully dreadful Monday again. NPC Ding Li is here to perform a full day of walking like a zombie, soul drifting away, and mental breakdown!
Today is filled with dark clouds, thunder, lightning, and pouring rainā
Just kidding!
The weather is bright and sunny, another perfect day for bosses to exploit employees while workers suffer miserably!
A lifelong office worker, Ding Li, wakes up at 6 a.m., washes up, does skincare, gets dressed, packs her bagā¦ After all the pre-departure chaos, she leaves at 6:40, squeezes into a bus for half an hour, then a subway for another half hour, and finally runs for 19 minutesāarriving at the office just one minute before the 8:00 check-in.
Beepā
DingāLiā
Clock-in successful.
She enters the company, slacks off for ten minutes, then begins a whole day of busyness, busyness, and more busynessāso busy she has to wolf down lunchā¦
Yet during the daily summary, she realizesā
After all that effort, her performance is basically zero. No results, no achievements, no incomeā¦
She has no idea when this zombie-like life will end. Retirement is nowhere in sight, money flows out like water, her bank balance is low, resentment piles up daily, and sheās numb to it allā¦
Dizzy and exhausted, Ding Li returns home, cooks something, washes her hair, takes a shower, fusses aroundāand before she knows it, itās already 10 p.m.
She quickly lies on her bed and opens a certain āgreen appā on her phone.
Thankfully, that stupid author finally updated today.
āCrossing Over the Green Tea to Love Youāāa clichĆ© among clichĆ©s, melodrama among melodramas. You can guess the ending from the first page.
After being scolded by readers all night, the fragile author declared she would stop writing and told readers to write it themselves.
Then got scolded for another weekā¦
A week later, the war ended with readers surrendering and begging for updates. The author returned triumphantly.
Why āreturned againā?
Because this isnāt the first timeā¦
Every battle between the fragile author and rabid readers ends with readers losing. Then a few chapters get updated, and the cycle repeatsā¦
So why do people keep reading even though both the story and the author are ridiculous?
Probably because everyone is curious just how clichĆ©, dramatic, and boring it can getā
The novelās male lead is Lu Qianchuan, and the female lead is Chu Zilan.
Senior brother and sister of the Cangshan Sectāboth powerful, childhood sweethearts, mutually in love, a model couple.
However, when Chu Zilan goes down the mountain to eliminate evil, she kindly takes in someoneā
That person is the āgreen teaā second female lead: Su Xiangqing!
As everyone knows, the second male lead loves the female lead, and the second female lead loves the male leadāan unbreakable rule!
Naturally, Su Xiangqing falls in love at first sight with the handsome and outstanding Lu Qianchuan.
To win him over, she uses every trickāpretending to be weak, acting pitiful, disguising herself as an innocent white flowerā¦
But Lu Qianchuan remains unmoved.
So she shifts her focus to the female leadāframing her, sowing discord, acting one way in public and another in privateā¦
Yet Lu Qianchuan still remains unmoved.
Finally, during a sect crisis, she seizes the opportunity, poisons the sect leader, and successfully frames Chu Zilanā¦
Reading with great interest, Ding Li scrolls down. The previous chapter ends with Su Xiangqing framing Chu Zilan and summoning Lu Qianchuan to the sceneāthen it cuts off.
After a week of backlash, the author updates again.
This chapter reveals that Lu Qianchuan is in disbelief. The person he loved was not who he thought. Years of trustāmisplaced.
ā
āPfftā!ā
In an instant, blood rushes to Ding Liās head.
A flash of red light passes before her eyes.
Her final thought before collapsing onto the bedā
Stupid author! Ruining society! No wonder you get scolded!
āYouāre awake?ā
Half-conscious, Ding Li hears a soft, pleasant voice and slowly opens her eyes.
Before her is a breathtakingly beautiful faceāeyes like clear autumn water, delicate brows, flawless pale skin.
A beauty rarely seen in the mortal world.
Unconsciously, Ding Li places her hand over the beautyās handā
Then suddenly realizesā
Somethingās wrong.
Why is this beauty wearing a high bun and white robes?
Cosplay?
The beauty pulls her hand away coldly.
āItās good that youāre awake.ā
āā¦?ā
Can someone tell me whatās going on?
Ding Li feels even dizzier. What kind of hospital has such fashionable doctors?
Looking around at the ancient-style furnishings and thick beams, sheās completely lost.
As the beauty stands to leave, Ding Li quickly grabs her sleeve.
āHeyāwait! You canāt just leave me like this! Iām still dizzy!ā
Just as sheās about to ask moreā
Another person walks in.
She turnsāand freezes.
A handsome man in ancient clothing, holding a sword.
What is this situation?
Not cosplay?
Transmigration???
Ding Li is completely stunned.
What dynasty is this?! She hasnāt even memorized historical timelines!
As a poor student, she cries internallyā
If she had to transmigrate, couldnāt she at least get time to review history?!
Even just one songās worth of time!
