May 24, 2022, ten at night.
A secluded residential complex in Jiangnan City.
"This anime is nothing but goddamn filler!"
In a rented apartment, a young man around twenty cursed at the anime Love Continent playing on his computer.
He hadn't found a job!
All he could do was rent a place and idle away his time watching anime and the like. Love Continent and Don't Bully the Poor Youth were his favorites.
Unfortunately, Love Continent dragged on with endless filler. Thoroughly irritated, Chen Xuan casually opened Don't Bully the Poor Youth...
No new episodes...
Ding!
Suddenly, an interface popped up on his computer screen.
Ding-dong!
If you had one chance to transmigrate, which world would you want to enter?!
Chen Xuan froze at the sudden interface, then typed "Don't Bully the Poor Youth" without a second thought and clicked send.
Don't Bully the Poor Youth was adapted from Chen Xuan's favorite novel from his middle school days. It had left a deep impression on countless people, and even after all these years, his love for the novel hadn't faded.
Especially with all the gorgeous women in the anime-Queen Medusa, Yun Yun, Ya Fei, and so on. Chen Xuan's favorite was Queen Medusa. Her perfect figure, coldly beautiful face, and aloof yet prickly personality made her the ultimate weapon against shut-ins.
"This ordinary life of mine!" Chen Xuan couldn't help letting out a soft sigh.
He checked the time. Ten thirty.
Chen Xuan shut down his computer, turned off the lights, and went to bed. He still had to go out looking for work tomorrow.
Closing his eyes, Chen Xuan couldn't help thinking about the interface that had just popped up on his computer.
As an upstanding young man of the twenty-first century who had finally managed to study his way out of the countryside,
if he were given a chance to transmigrate, Chen Xuan would definitely change this ordinary life of his.
As those thoughts drifted through his mind, Chen Xuan sank into a heavy sleep.
While asleep, Chen Xuan had a dream. He dreamed that he really had transmigrated.
He had entered the world of Don't Bully the Poor Youth and even become Queen Medusa.
I'm a man, and I actually transmigrated into a woman?!
It's just a dream anyway. Whatever.
Six in the morning.
Chen Xuan woke up. He felt exceptionally refreshed after that night's sleep; he had never slept so soundly before.
"If only everything in that dream could come true!"
Suddenly, Chen Xuan couldn't help sighing inwardly, then silently cursed himself. What was he thinking?
I still have to find a job today!
His eyes snapped open, and Chen Xuan froze.
This doesn't look like my rented apartment!
His rented place was just an ordinary one-bedroom apartment with a living room. When he opened his eyes, all he saw was the ceiling, but now...
Everything in sight glittered with gold and splendor. All sorts of dazzling gemstone ornaments hung overhead, as though he were in an ancient imperial palace.
No... it was even more magnificent than an ancient imperial palace.
Holy crap...!
Chen Xuan abruptly sat up, staring at everything around him in disbelief.
How is this anything like the apartment I rented?!
This is a palace!
The resplendent hall was inlaid with all kinds of gemstones, glittering like a sea of stars and proclaiming this place's grandeur and extraordinary status.
He was lying on a luxurious bed in the center. No wonder he had slept so comfortably this time!
Am I sure this isn't a dream?
Or am I still asleep, lost in a dream?
Chen Xuan looked utterly dumbfounded.
Just as Chen Xuan was about to get up and investigate, a huge purple snake tail appeared before his eyes.
"Holy shit..."
The words came out in perfectly authentic Mandarin, but the voice that spoke them was unmistakably a woman's.
Chen Xuan's body had already become half human, half snake. When he glanced down at his front, two enormous mounds filled his vision.
Feeling that it was all strangely unreal, Chen Xuan even reached out and squeezed them.
Holy crap, they feel so soft...
Then he abruptly looked toward a huge bronze mirror beside him. He was no longer himself at all.
A beautiful woman of breathtaking, seductive allure appeared before him.
Her long, narrow, pale-purple eyes rippled with an innate enchantment. She wore an elegant purple brocade robe, beneath which her voluptuous, exquisite body was like a ripe peach, exuding a subtle charm.
A cascade of dark hair fell loosely from her fragrant shoulders to her slender, willow-like waist. Beneath her brocade robe, a stretch of purple snake tail lay exposed, lending her a wild, seductive allure. She was an unparalleled beauty.
"Queen Medusa!"
In an instant, Chen Xuan recognized the stunning woman in the bronze mirror.
Chen Xuan's body immediately went rigid!
By now, Chen Xuan understood perfectly well what had happened.
He really had transmigrated, and he had become Queen Medusa from Don't Bully the Poor Youth.
Chen Xuan could hardly believe any of this.
Who could believe it?!
He had woken up to find himself gone from his rented apartment and turned into Queen Medusa.
This is completely unbelievable, okay?!
"This... this is straight out of a fantasy!"
When Chen Xuan opened his mouth, a woman's voice came out.
Moving up to the bronze mirror, Chen Xuan continued staring at his reflection in shock.
Despite having a snake tail, he felt no discomfort moving around. It seemed to be this body's muscle memory.
Ding!
[Congratulations, host. You have successfully transmigrated into Don't Bully the Poor Youth and been reincarnated as Queen Medusa.] [Congratulations.

Maintaining symbiosis for one consecutive month will also grant a mysterious check-in reward.]
Suddenly, a system panel appeared in Chen Xuan's mind.
Is this the system every transmigrator gets?!
Well, damn!
But why couldn't I have become some young master of the Gu Clan, or a sect's young heir?!
Why did it have to be Queen Medusa? Sure, I really like her, but you're turning me, a man, into a woman???
Chen Xuan was incredibly frustrated. Didn't this mean he no longer had a chance with all those beautiful women?!
Ding!
[As this is the host's first awakening, you will receive a beginner's gift pack.] [Would the host like to open the beginner's gift pack?]
A beginner's gift pack?
Open it!
Chen Xuan paused briefly before coming to his senses and silently giving the command.
