Chapter 1-1: The Road to Getting Knocked Out Begins
Question: If you transmigrated into an erotic harem novel as the protagonist, what would you most want to do?
Qin Xiangyi saw the question on Zhihu on her computer screen. After thinking it over, she typed a line.
Take a day off.
But as soon as she typed that line, the beautiful women behind her were already urging her to check in for her workout. Qin Xiangyi wore a bitter smile. For the first time, she felt that taking a break was actually a difficult thing to do.
And all of this had happened one night a few months ago...
"One slap and all your cultivation is gone? Do you think this is osteoporosis?"
"Author, do you even understand cultivation? Who dilutes pills?"
After three years as a novelist, Qin Xiangyi had gone from being an unknown nobody to an unknown nobody who got mocked every day. She sighed, then finally closed the novel website and opened her writing software again. There was the harem novel she had been developing lately.
The story was simple: the male lead got hold of a treasure called the Flower God Ring, then lived happily ever after with all sorts of heroines from the novel, gradually falling in love with them. The computer lamp was on, and the three cats in Qin Xiangyi's home leaped around the cramped, dark room. Qin Xiangyi focused and tapped away at the keyboard.
"Ugh, I hate coming up with names. What should I call this background-character brother and sister?" Qin Xiangyi paused mid-typing. Just then, one cat chased another and crashed into her desk, knocking water out of a cup.
Qin Xiangyi was a little annoyed, but there was nothing she could do about her precious cats. Thinking of the inspiration she had finally managed to summon, she focused on the computer again. She looked over the male and female leads' names, which she had generated with a name generator, but the profiles for the villainous siblings were still completely blank.
A few seconds later, Qin Xiangyi typed her own name into the software.
Qin Xiangyi
"Forget it. It's not the first time I've used my own name to make myself stand out. This time, I'll try being the villain's little sister." As she said this, she gave herself some extra character traits. She didn't want to be too insignificant in the story, and it was also a bit of wish fulfillment.
Qin Xiangyi: Female, 17 years old, younger sister of the villain Prince Qin. A beauty whose looks are obscured by her glasses. Doesn't get along with her older brother. Top student with a strong sense of justice. Friends with the school belle, Zhou Muning.
When she got this far, Qin Xiangyi paused again. The character was too commonplace, and since she had written herself into the story, she worried that she might accidentally become part of the harem.
Though the idea was immersive, Qin Xiangyi couldn't accept the notion of being seduced by—or falling in love with—the male lead. Her fingers paused over the keyboard again. She looked at her plot outline and finally added another trait to Qin Xiangyi's profile.
Lesbian.
But the moment she typed it, she felt that something was off. She was writing an erotic harem novel. Though many people could accept a yuri subplot in a harem novel, it was more likely to somehow turn into a threesome. Qin Xiangyi started fretting again. She simply deleted "lesbian" and changed it to "a woman's best friend, and the playboys' worst nightmare."
Since the villain's little sister was named after herself, Qin Xiangyi took extra care with her, intending for her to run through the whole story and tie its events together. She added another line: "The most important character after the male lead, and the one person the male lead can never win over."
Now Qin Xiangyi was finally satisfied with the character she had made for herself. Just as she was about to save it, the desk lamp began flickering. She reflexively looked toward the outlet. Water from the spilled cup was running down the desk and, by a stroke of bad luck, dripping onto the power strip on the floor.
Strange sparks flared in the darkness. Qin Xiangyi tried to back away in fear, but there wasn't enough room, and the three cats behind her suddenly went wild and slammed into her.
She lurched straight into the screen and was sucked into the computer. Stranger still, a bizarre-looking monster appeared in the middle of the screen. Like a snake gobbling up food, it swallowed the entire outline Qin Xiangyi had written. At last, the room fell dark. Only the three cats remained, wailing heart-rendingly, unaware that they had lost their last source of support that day...
Chapter 2-2: Fragrant Beauty
After an unknown amount of time, Qin Xiangyi woke again, her head aching terribly. She instinctively touched it and found her hand covered in blood.
Stranger still, she had clearly been in her room, but when she woke up, she was in a place that looked like a hotel.
"Don't... please, don't..."
A woman's voice cried out weakly. A man laughed brazenly. "Go on, scream! Even if you scream your throat raw, no one's coming to save you!"
The man's words were so vulgar that Qin Xiangyi frowned in distaste. She had no idea what was going on, but it seemed the woman outside was in danger.
Holding her still-bleeding head, Qin Xiangyi looked for her phone to call the police, only to find there was no phone on her or anywhere nearby. What's more, she was wearing a dress she had never worn before. Qin Xiangyi froze and looked at herself in the bathroom mirror.
At least she was still herself, wearing glasses, with a slightly pale face.
"No! Please, don't do this! Brother... hurry and save me!" The woman's cries continued outside. After hesitating, Qin Xiangyi picked up a sturdy-looking mop and staggered toward the door.
By the time she came out, the shouting had stopped, and two men were fighting. Qin Xiangyi was still confused about what was happening. Seeing that the man before her was at a disadvantage, she hurriedly swung the broom and smacked him hard on the head.
"Xiangyi, you hit the wrong person! That's my brother!" the woman on the bed cried out. Qin Xiangyi froze, then said, "Oh," and knocked out the other man, who had been grinning at her.
The man's face was full of disbelief. He stammered for a moment, then passed out. Qin Xiangyi looked at the broken broom, dropped it, and staggered toward the girl on the bed.
She wanted to know where she was and why someone had knocked her unconscious in the bathroom.
The girl seemed very familiar with Qin Xiangyi. As Qin Xiangyi approached, she instinctively moved closer to her, too.
The instant she drew near, Qin Xiangyi caught a strange floral scent. It was faint, yet particularly pleasant, and she found herself taking several more breaths without thinking.
The girl didn't notice anything unusual about Qin Xiangyi. She threw herself into Qin Xiangyi's arms, trembling slightly. "Xiangyi, is my brother all right...?"
Even though she was worried about the brother who had come to help her, she seemed unable to stand, for some reason.
Qin Xiangyi paid it no mind. Though she wanted to know what had happened, she instinctively held the girl when she felt her trembling and offered a perfunctory reassurance. "He should be fine..."
Chapter 3-1: Who Could Handle This?
Though Qin Xiangyi's words were perfunctory, they were the best comfort the girl could have received. She relaxed a little, but clung to Qin Xiangyi even tighter. Qin Xiangyi found the embrace uncomfortable, and the floral scent seemed to grow stronger. It didn't feel like the room's usual smell; rather, it seemed to be coming from the woman herself.
The scene immediately reminded Qin Xiangyi of the novel she had been planning.
It was still only an outline, but she had intended for the women to carry a floral scent. She hadn't expected that a woman like Fragrant Concubine would actually exist in this world.
Looking again, the girl was pretty and delicate, probably around seventeen or eighteen. Seeing her in such a wretched state, Qin Xiangyi suddenly felt a surge of anger. If the girl hadn't been clinging to her so tightly, Qin Xiangyi would have kicked the scumbag on the floor a few times to vent her rage.
"Xiangyi..." Just as Qin Xiangyi was wondering how to ask what had happened, the girl spoke first.
"What is it?" Qin Xiangyi patted the girl's back. Her skin felt burning hot, far hotter than a person's normal temperature. Thinking she might be sick, Qin Xiangyi touched her hand and found that her entire body was burning, like a ball of fire.
"Xiangyi... I can't hold back anymore." The girl breathed heavily, her face flushed and her eyes alluring, looking as though she were ready to be plucked. Before Qin Xiangyi could react, the girl's lips moved toward hers and sealed her mouth.
Qin Xiangyi was completely stunned. She was twenty-eight, an older, single woman with no home, no car, and no boyfriend, and she had still never had her first kiss. Now a girl she had known for less than ten minutes had stolen it.
Her second thought was to worry about the girl's age. Was this going to get her three years in prison?
Her mind didn't go completely blank, but she didn't resist the girl's kiss either.
Her head had just been battered, and she was still confused. That kiss finally cleared her head a little. The scene looked more and more familiar. In her detailed outline, the school belle Zhou Muning had been captured by the villain. After Qin Xiangyi informed the male lead, the villain had knocked her unconscious.
Then the male lead, who was unrelated to Zhou Muning by blood, had gone to save her. Because of the drug's effects, Zhou Muning kissed him, activating his cheat.
Qin Xiangyi's thoughts suddenly cleared, and she shoved the girl away. "You... you're Zhou Muning."
Qin Xiangyi found it hard to believe, but couldn't help asking the woman in front of her name.
"Xiangyi, I feel awful." Zhou Muning hadn't noticed anything strange about Qin Xiangyi. Her eyes were wet with tears, and she looked pained and miserable, as though she were suffering terribly.
"I'll take you to have a bath and cool down." Qin Xiangyi remembered the scene she had written to highlight the male lead's character and hurriedly suggested it to Zhou Muning.
Zhou Muning was already weak, though she still had a little presence of mind. Qin Xiangyi had to use all her strength to get her to the bathroom. She cooled Zhou Muning down with cold water. It didn't help much, but at least it kept Zhou Muning clearheaded.
Knowing that calling for help would be useless, Qin Xiangyi decided to wait for the male lead to wake up and deal with Prince Qin.
"How are you? Feeling better?" Qin Xiangyi asked Zhou Muning again. Even in such a state, Zhou Muning's beauty was impossible to hide.
Qin Xiangyi had made Zhou Muning kind and gentle. Her family was ordinary, but she was still one of the school's famous belles. Zhou Muning's voice was quiet, and she didn't dare look at Qin Xiangyi.
"Why are you here?" Qin Xiangyi could only find something to ask.
"I thought you'd asked me to come, but who knew..." Zhou Muning replied, her eyes full of fear and regret. It was precisely because she was kind and gentle that people had taken advantage of her.
"How could I have asked you to come to a place like this? Don't make such a rookie mistake again." Qin Xiangyi looked at the school belle she had created. Writing about Zhou Muning was one thing, but seeing her in person was another.
Seeing her so pitiful made Qin Xiangyi regret writing a scene that would leave a beautiful girl traumatized for life.
Zhou Muning nodded. She felt the water getting warmer, so Qin Xiangyi rinsed her again, then carefully dried her with a bath towel.
Their eyes met, but the fragrance coming from Zhou Muning only grew stronger. Qin Xiangyi tried not to smell it, but after holding her breath, she ended up taking a huge breath in.
"Xiangyi, thank you." Zhou Muning had gradually regained her reason. Perhaps remembering how wild she had been earlier, she didn't meet Qin Xiangyi's gaze, lowering her head shyly.
"It's nothing. I'm the one who got you into this." Qin Xiangyi meant it half-seriously. She regretted writing such a deranged scene. The damsel-in-distress effect had worked, but she had only ended up getting herself into trouble—and losing her first kiss.
The more Qin Xiangyi thought about it, the more she felt she'd lost out. Still, she gently dried Zhou Muning's hair, then her face, before her gaze fell on her lips.
Zhou Muning had bitten her lips until they were split. They looked painful.
"I'm sorry. Does it hurt?" Qin Xiangyi touched Zhou Muning's lips, feeling pity for the character she had created.
"It doesn't hurt anymore..." Zhou Muning blushed and instinctively pursed her lips, but the pain made her suck in a breath. Qin Xiangyi laughed even harder, finding the girl utterly adorable.
"You're laughing at me." Zhou Muning felt embarrassed and raised a hand as if to hit Qin Xiangyi. At the touch, Qin Xiangyi sucked in a sharp breath from the pain. If Zhou Muning hadn't touched her, she might have forgotten that someone had hit her hard just a moment ago.
"You're bleeding." Zhou Muning flustered, then noticed the blood on Qin Xiangyi's head as she checked her over.
There wasn't much blood, but whoever had struck her had certainly hit hard. Perhaps Qin Xiangyi had been killed by that person, and that was what had led to her transmigrating into the novel.
"I don't know. At least I'm not dead yet. Once things outside are settled, we'll go to the hospital." Qin Xiangyi took a deep breath, trying to calm herself.
She would put aside the question of how she had transmigrated into her novel for now. If she remembered correctly, the big showdown between the villain Prince Qin and the male lead, Ye Fan, was about to begin.
As if to indulge Qin Xiangyi's authorial whim, just as she finished speaking, she heard a commotion outside.
But it wasn't coming from anyone in the room. Someone kicked open the door with a bang.
"Prince Qin, what happened to you!" Qin Xiangyi peered through the gap in the bathroom door. The person who had appeared was a shifty-looking man. If she remembered correctly, he was one of Prince Qin's lackeys.
Chapter 4-2: Better to Screw Myself Than Someone Else
Maybe knocking out the male lead, Ye Fan, had caused the original plot outline to go off course. But the male lead, who should have already woken up, was still unconscious.
Qin Xiangyi grew anxious and tried to recall the details of the scene she had created. To make the male lead, Ye Fan, look impressive and appeal to the audience, she had opened with a kiss between unrelated siblings.
After the male lead knocked out the villain, Prince Qin, Zhou Muning had been unable to control herself and had thrown herself at him. Qin Xiangyi had wanted to attract attention, and thought it was too ordinary, so she had stretched out the time the two spent kissing to a full minute. That had triggered a resonance with the Flower God Ring on Ye Fan.
But now the kiss had to be consensual, and both parties had to be conscious. Qin Xiangyi had knocked the male lead out, so the conditions weren't met.
Put simply, Qin Xiangyi had blocked the male lead's cheat. Without his cheat, Ye Fan was nothing but an ordinary plot device.
The people outside were coming in force, still beating Ye Fan, who was barely conscious.
Zhou Muning wanted to go out and save Ye Fan, but she remembered how cruel Qin Xiangyi had made these people. It would be suicide for Zhou Muning to go out now, and Qin Xiangyi, who had hit the villain Prince Qin, would certainly meet a terrible end as well.
Faced with the situation, Qin Xiangyi had no choice but to force herself to calm down. She grabbed Zhou Muning by the arm.
"Zhou Muning, calm down and listen to me."
"But my brother..." Tears fell from Zhou Muning's eyes as she struggled to get out of Qin Xiangyi's arms. Qin Xiangyi used all her strength to hold her tightly.
Zhou Muning finally calmed down a little and looked at Qin Xiangyi. Tears were still falling, but she had stopped struggling.
Qin Xiangyi let out a breath of relief and continued, "I'll go out and see what's happening first. Whatever you do, don't let them know you're here."
"But you just hit your brother," Zhou Muning said, thinking of Qin Xiangyi's predicament.
"Don't worry. Leave everything to me. I'll make sure all three of us get out safely." Qin Xiangyi forced a smile. If anyone was nervous, it was her more than anyone else.
But this was the novel she had created. The plot might have shifted because of the butterfly effect, but it was still her novel. She could survive, and she had to survive.
"Be careful." Zhou Muning hesitated, then let go, though her face was still filled with worry.
Qin Xiangyi nodded and gently hugged Zhou Muning. Maybe it was because of this body, but she didn't mind being physically close to Zhou Muning. In fact, she even liked being touched by her.
But Qin Xiangyi quickly stopped thinking about all that nonsense. She took a deep breath and walked out of the bathroom.
In an instant, every gaze focused on her.
"You're... all here..." Qin Xiangyi covered the place where she'd been hit, pretending to still be dazed.
