I've always thought everyone is a lonely individual.
And ordinary people like me will eventually die silently—until I woke up and traveled into a book.
As a total bookworm, watching the stunningly handsome guy described in the book gradually become real,
I quietly wiped the corner of my mouth.
But damn it, I've read so many novels—which one the hell did I end up in!!
——————————————————————————————————
I'm Chen Xing. Ever since I was little, both my grades and looks have been mediocre.
Basically the kind of person who's as ordinary as can be.
Because of my personality and social anxiety, I don't have many friends.
Oh yeah, being invincible is just this lonely.
I remember it was an ordinary-looking day in midsummer, and that summer was ridiculously hot.
I was walking home, munching on a popsicle. The cicadas were chirping nonstop by the road—I guess even they were dying from the heat.
Just then, my phone lit up suddenly—it was a text from my silly sister.
"I suddenly crave dumplings from the shop downstairs, bring me a portion up, thanks!"
...
I thought about pretending I didn't see it and going straight home. It's so hot that even buying a popsicle exhausted me.
Plus that shop doesn't even have air conditioning—no way I'm going!
But right then, my phone lit up again.
"I know you saw the message, don't try to fob me off with that excuse."
Curses ran through my mind instantly. Did she totally figure out my tricks... Going out in this scorching heat to buy dumplings for my sister—such deep sisterly love, huh.
Walking on the asphalt road that felt like a hot pan, I felt like a fried egg on it.
Chen Xing's face gradually turned pale. She felt like all her strength was being sucked away, an indescribable sense of suffocation washing over her.
Shit—hypoglycemia attack—
Chen Xing probably realized it too late. At this moment, the feeling of being drained got stronger and stronger, her vision blurry like it was pixelated.
The feeling intensified, and she only felt more and more pixelation in front of her eyes.
————————————————————————————————
Suddenly, the whole world went quiet.
Her body felt light, like floating in the sky.
Such a strange feeling, like... being dead.
So you can still feel consciousness after dying?
Chen Xing thought. She tried to open her eyes but couldn't.
She also tried to lift her hand, but that didn't work either.
Forget it.
Chen Xing stopped thinking about it. The sense of powerlessness overwhelmed her whole body, and the feeling of her soul detaching grew stronger.
She emptied her mind, thinking about nothing.
Just waiting to open her eyes again—or never open them again.
————————————————————————————————————
"She's awake!" Someone's voice, full of excitement.
Then came footsteps—Chen Xing could tell someone ran out and someone else walked in.
She tried to open her eyes again.
This time it wasn't that hard; she opened them easily.
Just like every time before, but—
This wasn't her room.
Where is this?
Chen Xing saw beautiful lights flickering. The room was decorated in European style, as gorgeous as a palace in a painting.
Is this a new life? But she wasn't a kid anymore.
This body felt a little different.
Chen Xing had always been a bookworm—she'd read countless plots like this.
First of all, she never played any mobile games, so traveling into a game? Impossible—can basically rule that out.
After thinking for a long time, she came to a conclusion.
She definitely traveled into a book!
The plot where you travel into a novel when you're dying, and can go back to your original world once you finish the story—
She knew it so well!!
She thought, next, as long as someone here calls her name, she'll remember which novel this is.
Then she'll know the plot direction from a god's perspective, like getting a cheat code!
It must be like that.
Chen Xing was complacent—luckily she read a lot of novels!
So exciting!!
"Xiaonian, how do you feel?" Oh my god, as someone obsessed with nice voices, Chen Xing couldn't stand this voice as soon as she heard it.
Looking up, she was even more shocked.
He stood by the bed, leaning over slightly.
The guy looked around twenty, his face young and handsome. His bangs were a little long, covering most of his forehead, and his hair was light, looking brown. He wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his straight nose, with long chains hanging down. His eyebrows were thick, and his expression was gentle. Those eyes were like melted ice under the moonlit night—cold, yet warm.
So handsome!!! Could he be the male lead? But he called her Xiaonian—can he be more specific??? I want specific info!!! Curses ran through her mind again.
But Chen Xing quickly thought of a good idea. She put a confused look on her face and said slowly.
"Who are you?"
....
At that moment, the temperature in the room dropped extremely weirdly fast.
Then the guy straightened up and walked out of the room as if he'd made a big decision.
After a while, a noisy sound suddenly came from outside.
Then Chen Xing, who was "Xiaonian", heard a string of hurried and messy footsteps.
Then "bang——" the door almost slammed against the wall.
A woman walked in. She had a low bun, with a few messy strands of hair hanging on her face. There seemed to be soft warmth flowing in her eyes and eyebrows.
Chen Xing was sure—she was an absolute beauty!!
Messy beauty, I get it!
The woman said anxiously, "Nianbao, it's Mom. Your brother is definitely a quack! Tell me, do you remember Mom? Do you know Mom's name?"
Hmm... Okay Mom, now I remember you're Mom, but damn it what's my name? What's your name? Chen Xing muttered silently in her heart.
Then "Nianbao" frowned naturally, looking wronged and anxious as she shook her head.
The woman's hair messed up in the wind for a second. Wait, it's indoors, the windows are closed—where's the wind???
"Baby, look, it's Dad! Dad! Remember me?"
Next to him was a man about the same age, with thick eyebrows—obviously the dad of that "quack" brother. He had a beard on his chin, looking like he hadn't had time to shave it, just grown out.
Then "Baby" shook her head naturally again. Not sure if it was an illusion, but he suddenly looked a lot more haggard.
"Sister! What about me? Sister, don't you remember me anymore!" A boy stood on the other side of the bed, looking about fifteen or sixteen.
His face looked very young and innocent, with a pair of tiger teeth. His skin was fair. Compared to that "brother" just now, his hair was golden, and his pupils were light-colored, making him even whiter and tenderer—he felt like a sunflower. Chen Xing even felt like there were golden petals around his head.
"Sister," Chen Xing still shook her head, "Sorry, I don't remember."
Then the "petals" of the "sunflower" seemed to wilt. He said sullenly, "It's okay, sister, don't say sorry."
Then that "quack" brother she saw just now walked in and said slowly, "I told you Xiaonian has amnesia."
Suddenly, a man about the same height as him jumped out from behind him. But his shoulders were very broad—standard wide shoulders. His pupils were dark green, his hair much darker than the other two brothers. His bangs were combed back, exposing his forehead, but there were still a few strands falling on it. He looked out of breath. For some reason, Chen Xing felt that the temperature around him rose a lot when he came over.
He walked to the bed and said, "Wanwan, are you okay! Do you remember brother? Big brother said you have amnesia!"
"Wanwan"—Chen Xing got a new clue, silently grateful to this guy, but still followed her script, "I don't remember.... Are you second brother?"
Chen Xing felt the air around her turn cold again for no reason.
...….
At this moment, the quack big brother spoke first, "Xiaonian's condition is probably psychogenic amnesia. I just said it, the cause of this amnesia...." He looked at "Xiaonian" as he spoke.
"Xiaonian" Chen Xing thought: I'm faking it, are you really analyzing the cause for me?
At this time, the room fell silent again.
"Wanwan, do you know why you're lying in bed?" Second brother asked first.
"Wanwan" shook her head.
"Nianbao, do you remember your name?"
Chen Xing thought: I'm wondering that too, okay?
The result was obvious.
The quack big brother said, "Xiaonian has total amnesia—meaning she completely doesn't remember her life background, name, address, anything like that."
Chen Xing thought: I really don't know. This is a godsend!! Sure enough, this trick works!
So "Xiaonian" asked sincerely, "Brother, what's my name?"
Xiaonian's two brothers answered at the same time.
"Jiang Nianwan"
"Jiang. Nian. Wan."
After speaking, the two brothers looked at each other, both looking a little unhappy.
The quack big brother said, "Xiaonian was asking me."
Second brother raised his voice, "Wanwan was asking me!"
Chen Xing asked quietly again, "What characters are they?"
"Sister, these characters." The sunflower brother next to her brought a notebook and showed it to her.
Chen Xing understood, silently accepting the name to call herself.
At this time, the mom with messy hair said, "Mom's name is Liu Yan, Nianbao, remember. Mom loves you the most. Mom's phone number is...."
"Enough, remember that later. Dad's name is Jiang Boyu, baby, do you feel any other discomfort?"
"Jiang Nianwan" shook her head, then looked at second brother and asked, "What about this brother?"
Second brother obviously "heated up again" and said, "I'm Wanwan's favorite second brother! Second brother's name is Jiang Jingrui. This quack brother is Jiang Heng."
The quack big brother's face darkened a little.
The sunflower brother next to him said, "Sister, I'm Jiang Qingyang."
"Jiang Nianwan" nodded, thinking silently: The amnesia trick is really useful—I know everything clearly now.
Jiang Nianwan, huh?
...…
Fuck, who is Jiang Nianwan? Have I ever read a novel where the female lead has this name? Shit, I've read so many—how would I know!!!!
Before traveling into the book, Chen Xing read all types of novels, scattered here and there, adding up to hundreds. Now she regretted it so much.
Logically, the romance novels she read accounted for a relatively small proportion, so it should be easy to find the corresponding one...
Ha! Could it be that—I'm not even the female lead!
