Chapter 1: Transmigrated into a Book  

Lin Zhizhi sat at the dining table, leisurely eating her breakfast. If not for the fact that she had to attend a class later, she would never have gotten up so early. 

Moreover, if it weren’t for the little one in her stomach, she wouldn’t have forced herself to eat breakfast—given her past habits.  

She glanced at her stomach—it had not yet shown any signs of pregnancy. If it weren’t for the golden finger that allowed her to know the plot, she wouldn’t have even realized she was pregnant.  

At this thought, Lin Zhizhi’s mind drifted back to ten days ago. 

Back then, she had still been a young employee who had only been in the workforce for a few years. 

In order to secure a deal, she had drunk quite a bit of alcohol. The last thing she remembered was stumbling into a hotel room, intending to sleep. 

Unexpectedly, in her hazy state, she seemed to have seen an incredibly handsome man lying beside her. 

Then, everything that should and shouldn’t have happened… happened.  

The next morning, when she woke up, the first thing she saw was a perfect face magnified before her eyes. 

Fair skin, well-defined and striking features—he was the kind of Male God who would stand out in any crowd, radiating brilliance.  

Before Lin Zhizhi could react, her head suddenly felt as if something was being downloaded into it, like a computer receiving new data. 

Strings of memories flashed before her eyes like a film reel. When all the information had been fully received, she was completely stunned. 

It turned out that, in reality, she had already died in a car accident and somehow, she had transmigrated into the body of the Original Owner.  

Even more absurd was that this wasn’t just a case of transmigration—it was transmigration into a novel.  

The book Lin Zhizhi had entered was one she had casually clicked on while browsing the internet during her weekend break: Those Years of Secret Love. 

It was a novel told from the perspective of the female lead, Song Nuan, about her long-standing secret crush. 

The story revolved around her unspoken love for a Classmate—a top student and the School Grass—from middle school to high school. ^[1]The term school grass refers to the most handsome and popular male student in a school.

She had never dared to confess and instead worked hard, burning the midnight oil, eventually succeeding in getting into the same university as the Male Protagonist. ^[2]The phrase “burning the midnight oil” means staying up late at night to work or study, often implying dedication or hard work.

Originally, with the matchmaking efforts of her roommate and the Male Protagonist’s roommate, their relationship was about to progress. 

However, at that critical moment, the Male Protagonist’s ex-girlfriend, Lin Zhizhi, suddenly appeared with a child, completely ruining the female lead’s carefully planned confession.  

After the Original Owner went abroad, the female lead devoted herself to taking care of the Male Protagonist’s son. 

Over time, through daily interactions, the Male Protagonist fell in love with her. 

Just as he was about to confess, the Original Owner returned. Upon discovering that both the Male Protagonist and his son preferred the female lead, she resorted to extreme measures. 

In response, the Male Protagonist firmly sent her back abroad. Due to her physical condition, after giving birth to the Male Protagonist’s son, she was unable to conceive again. Her only child refused to acknowledge her. In the end, the Original Owner lived a lonely life overseas and died in solitude.  

After receiving all these memories, Lin Zhizhi’s mind was in chaos. Although she had no close family in the real world and only a few good friends she was somewhat attached to, transmigrating into a book was an utterly baffling experience for anyone. Instinctively, she chose to leave the bedroom first.  

Lin Zhizhi only snapped back to reality when she returned to the Original Owner’s apartment. 

It was then that she began sorting through the Original Owner’s family background, school life, and interpersonal relationships.  

The Original Owner had lost both parents in a plane crash during middle school. 

However, because her parents had run a publicly listed company for several years and there was also the compensation money from the accident, the Original Owner lived a life of material abundance despite lacking familial companionship. 

The company was now managed by a Professional Manager, and the profits and dividends were looking good — more than enough for the Original Owner to live a comfortable, carefree life.  

In contrast, Lin Zhizhi had been an orphan in the real world. 

She had been self-reliant from a young age. Although she had once been under the care of the Orphanage Director Mother, who treated her kindly, the orphanage had many other children, making it impossible for the director to provide comprehensive care. 

After growing up and entering society, perhaps due to her lack of a family, Lin Zhizhi had been exceptionally driven in the workplace. She worked overtime every day, striving to earn enough to buy a home of her own.  ^[3]Driven in the workplace is similar to burning midnight oil—It carries the same meaning of working or studying late into the night.

Ironically, just as she had finished paying off her mortgage and was about to enjoy the fruits of her labor, a car accident had ended her life. 

Now, she had transmigrated into the Original Owner’s body. Although there was still no familial warmth to be felt, this life was undeniably better than her previous one — at least she no longer had to work herself to exhaustion just to make ends meet.  

Suddenly, Lin Zhizhi recalled the transmigration novels she had read in the past. The female leads in those stories always seemed to have a golden finger. 

Although she hadn’t transmigrated as the female lead, she had still transmigrated. 

So where was the plot boss?  

Sure enough, what you fear will appear when you think about it.  

A mechanical voice suddenly echoed in Lin Zhizhi’s ear. “The real world no longer holds your existence. From now on, you will live in this world as Lin Zhizhi.”  

Upon hearing the voice, Lin Zhizhi looked around the bedroom. “Who are you? Where did the Original Owner go?”  

“Stop searching. I’m in your brain. Remember, the original Lin Zhizhi has gone to another world. From this moment on, you are Lin Zhizhi. You can live a stable life here, but only if you give birth to the child and ensure he grows up happily. Everything else is up to you.”  

After saying this, no matter how much Lin Zhizhi called out, there was no further response.  

Lin Zhizhi looked at her slender waist, which could be easily encircled with one hand, and her flat stomach. 

She gently stroked it with her hand and let out a soft sigh. In her heart, she had made a decision.
