Shock! I became the protagonist of a female-oriented novel.

This is a very, very long dream.

When I woke up, I felt ice-cold all over.

Time seemed to stand still.

After a long while, she finally came to her senses and sat up.

The system that had disappeared for some time has reappeared.

[Hi, dear host, you're finally awake.]

"Have I... left another world?"

Yes, you could say that.

And so, I've left another world?

Yu Ci, as if possessed, began to carefully recall everything from the previous world.

After a long silence, her expression suddenly turned somewhat unpleasant.

"I...have a question."

【Hey, Miss Yu Ci, feel free to ask me any questions! I'll answer them honestly!】

"Why am I in the second world, a little..." Yu Ci couldn't find the right words to describe the feeling.

Is it that I'm not myself, or that my personality is too soft, or that I've been exposed to the world?

She didn't finish her sentence, but the system seemed to have already understood what she meant.

[Alright, I know what you mean, Miss Yu Ci. This is my fault. I didn't explain all the system's functions when we first bound ourselves to each other.]

Now I'll reintroduce myself.

[This system's full name is 'Why Can't the Female Lead and the Supporting Female Character Be in a Yuri Couple?' Its primary mission is to send the host into a dimensional world to become a supporting female character in a story, with the goal of defeating the male lead and winning the female lead's heart.]

We can both fulfill the host's wishes and alter the tragic endings of female protagonists in certain female-oriented novels.

Furthermore, during the host's task completion process, this system can provide occasional "cheat codes" to help the host eliminate complicated emotions, help the host enter the world as quickly as possible, and so on.

[Miss Yu, what you asked is about the function of entering worlds. Even in the world of a novel, everyone has a soul. If you enter a character's world, you can't expect their personality to change drastically all at once. Doing so could get you captured and studied~]

Therefore, in order to ensure the perfect development of the world and the mission, our system will retain some of the original character's characteristics when placing the host into the dimensional world.

……

Is that so?

Yes, that's exactly it.

That system is indeed quite well-made...

After lying there lost in thought for a while, the system didn't urge him on anything. Instead, it asked Yu Ci, who was lying on the ground, if he wanted to play a game.

After spending about half a month in this space, Yu Ci started to feel irritable and asked the system when the next world would begin.

The system's laughter was quite jarring.

【Okay, Miss Yu Ci, since you asked, let's begin.】

I experienced several blinding flashes of white light...

Yu closed his eyes again, feeling both empty and complex.

-

When I opened my eyes again, everything was black.

Since she transmigrated, this seemed to be the first time she had encountered such a situation. After being stunned for a few minutes, she finally began to look around.

There were some old wooden plank beds, white curtains that looked like they had been washed poorly, and very little furniture on either side. In the darkness, Yu Ci could only see a square table.

Are they really that poor...?

wrong!

Yu Ci's gaze suddenly returned to the place he had just swept over.

Oil lamp?

Just as Yu Ci was wondering, the system appeared.

[Ding dong, Third World, The Cunning Prince's Pursuit of His Wife, teleportation complete.]

A cunning and scheming prince? If I remember correctly, the word "prince" only appears in ancient times...

So, is she in an ancient world?

[Miss Yu Ci is as clever as ever. Yes, we are indeed in the ancient world now~]

After saying that, the system started transmitting the story as usual.

[Let me see the plot of the story. Ah, found it! It goes like this: For many years, Cheng Mo has been wondering why his father would pass the throne to that idiot, his elder brother. After thinking about it for many years, he still couldn't figure it out. It doesn't matter, it's all the same anyway.]

Because of his personality, Cheng Mo missed out on the throne. After being enfeoffed as the Prince of Zhen'an, he didn't settle down and enjoy life. Instead, he was eager to seize the throne. In this world, the martial arts world and the imperial court coexist. Therefore, Cheng Mo, as the Prince of Zhen'an, wanted to unite the martial arts world, overthrow his elder brother's rule, and become an emperor with absolute power.

After mentioning the name Feng Zui, the system quickly jumped to Feng Zui's profile.

Feng Zui, leader of the Demonic Sect in the martial arts world, is unpredictable, willful, and capricious. Known as the "Witch" in the martial arts world, she led the Martial Alliance in its fourth all-out attack on the Demonic Sect in the seventeenth year of the Cheng Yun era, causing the sect to crumble... It was from this point that Feng Zui began collaborating with Cheng Mo, using ruthless methods to train Cheng Mo's secret guards and assassins, ultimately enabling Cheng Mo to ascend to the position of ruler of the world.

However, Feng Zui's ending was not good.

If a partner who was once betrothed for life becomes the ruler of the world, then the promise of a lifetime of monogamy can naturally be... impossible to fulfill.

Actually, this wouldn't have been a big deal, but—

But Cheng Mo is a stingy person.

Now that Feng Zui is already his woman, and even more so, Feng Zui has entered the palace and been listed in the imperial register, how could he possibly let a married woman leave the capital?

Besides, Feng Zui is still so young. If he really leaves, will he end up... wearing a green hat?

Those who can become emperors are all ruthless.

Under Feng Zui's insistence, Cheng Mo feigned compliance, but as Feng Zui was leaving the city, he sent her a hail of arrows.

[mmp.]

Wow, this plot is absolutely the worst ever...

The system, true to its吐槽 (tu cao, meaning to criticize or complain) nature, kept nagging on and on. Yu Ci, listening to it for a while, got a little annoyed and blurted out that he wanted the system to shut up, but suddenly blurted out, "Don't say anymore."

"..."

Okay, okay, let's not talk about that anymore. Oh, by the way, Miss Yu Ci, there's something else I need to tell you~

[The system is having its annual meeting soon, and I'll be away for a while. I won't be able to spend time with you then.]

"Leave?"

"How long?"

[About a few months...]

[That's all for now, here's a big gift for you, I'm off! Bye!]

After the voice in his head disappeared, Yu Ci looked at the large gift package in his consciousness, thought about the ancient saying that had just slipped out... and fell into deep thought.

-

The original owner of this body was also named Yu Ci.

She is the senior disciple of Lingyun Sect, the number one martial arts sect.

"Senior Sister" does not refer to the first disciple accepted by the sect leader, but is a title that means that Yu Ci is the person with the highest martial arts skills in this generation.

Ok……

The original owner, also known as the eldest sister, was humble, considerate of the overall situation, calm, and devoted to the sword path. She could be considered a role model among the new generation of disciples of the Lingyun Sect.

Oh right, and the current timeline too.

This year marks the sixteenth year of the Cheng Yun (a martial arts tradition), and the thirty-third New Martial Arts Tournament will be held.

A week ago, the original owner received orders from the Lingyun Sect and led thirteen outstanding disciples of the sect to the sacred land of martial arts to participate in the Rising Star Martial Arts Tournament.

And now...

Halfway there, the original road was blocked by a mudslide caused by a storm. In order to make it to the conference, the group chose another, more rugged road.

Currently, because it rained again yesterday evening, everyone was unable to continue their journey, so they found a guesthouse near the road to stay.

I've largely accepted the plot.

A...unfamiliar world.

An unfamiliar environment, an unfamiliar worldview.

I had a terrible headache.

However, her headache didn't last long before it transformed into an even more terrifying emotion.

because--

She heard a sound.

The sound of footsteps gradually approached the house where she was.

It's likely that when the memories were merged, the original owner's power was also merged along with them. Now, Yu Ci's night vision is quite good, so she easily saw a bamboo tube break through the window and inserted into the room.

……

Excerpts from various martial arts novels flooded my mind.

Chapter Ninety-Nine starts with a deadly question.

Various excerpts from martial arts novels flooded my mind.

Smoke, brothels, human trafficking! Human flesh bun shops!

Yu Ci wanted to get up immediately, but the tapping sound in her ears told her that there was more than one person outside, and judging from the footsteps... those people all knew martial arts.

She had only just entered this body, although she had inherited the original owner's internal energy.

but--
