QQ, or Master Quietly as her readers called her, was an online author known for her tragic endings.

Under that pen name, she received a lot of praises and even more curses.

Her readers never met her in person. But if they ever did, a lot of them would probably cry in front of her, begging justice for her characters that met bad fates.

Nevertheless, they were still hooked with her work. Whenever she published another story, it would create a buzz among her niche.

She guessed people had masochistic traits and loved the feeling of bittersweet misery whenever her characters died or parted ways.

For her, it was a mere past time so she was quite amused when she started earning money through it. The way readers loved and hated her never failed to entertain her.

However, it wasn't as fascinating now.

Because for whatever reason, she was living inside the first novel she ever wrote.

This was also her sole novel where none of the leads died at the end.

It would always be a mystery how she ended up here. And it was a puzzle she didn't want to solve. Without a doubt, it would just endanger her more or open a can of worms she didn't want to see.

Like those stories of idiotic female leads who somehow put themselves in danger every two or three chapters.

Even so, she didn't appear here all of a sudden as most female leads did.

She didn't believe that she was transported here either. And she didn't inherit memories of an original body or soul. There was no original lord in the first place as she was considered to be her own.

Hong Chun was born in this world. Or maybe it was more appropriate to say she was reborn in this world. She grew up and made a life here as real as it could be.

But at a young age, she had recalled memories of a distant past. She couldn't remember when but she knew that she lived elsewhere before. So she deemed it as her soul reincarnating even if she never truly believed in the supernatural or the divine.

However, when she witnessed the similarities of this world to the novel she wrote, she almost did a backflip.

The names of aristocrats, titles of princes, the title of the Emperor, the name of the country, the disputes among different factions, the fight for the throne.

Though she wasn't directly part of the big happenings in the court and she only saw it through the eyes of a commoner, she couldn't mistake all the striking resemblance to The Fate of Nuo Ying Su.

Her readers hailed this novel as the 'sole flower among the countless corpses' because it was the only book with HE (Happy Ending) among her portfolio.

Being here though, she never planned on dipping her toes on changing the plot or overthrowing the main leads. Why would she go and actively seek ways to die?

Even if it was ironic that inside the world she thought she created, she was a nobody, it was alright.

Considering that she wasn't involved in the bloody fight scenes she wrote for the main leads. And she didn't have to put herself in desperate situations nor fall in love with the wrong person.

She liked writing those kinds of dramas but didn't want anything to do with it in real life.

It was good being a simple daughter of a fifth-ranked official.
