Writing Melodramatic Stories in Ancient Times Made Me Famous

Writer of melodramatic novels, Fu Wenyu, finds himself transmigrated into ancient times. The original owner of the body had a father who tragically fell ill and died while traveling to take the imperial exam. Not only did this deplete the family’s savings, but it also left them in dire straits. This stirred up a hornet’s nest! Their greedy uncle and aunt immediately turned against them, dividing the family property and driving Fu Wenyu’s household out. Faced with a leaking thatched hut and a confused mother and younger sister, Fu Wenyu rolled up his sleeves and decided to fall back on his old profession. He was ready to churn out ten thousand words a day without breaking a sweat! The first branch of the Fu family was kicked out, and the whole village waited to see them fall into ruin. But instead of collapsing, they watched Fu Wenyu pick up a pen and start writing storybooks. He was writing books while taking the imperial examination, he led his family out of Fujia Village, past the provincial capital, and all the way to the imperial city. Meanwhile, wuxia rebirth stories, imperial exam cultivation fantasies, supernatural mysteries, infinite genre tales, and futuristic novels took the literary world by storm, spreading across the nation. Alongside these were “merchandise,” “stage plays,” and “theme parks” springing up everywhere, all in high demand. And it didn’t stop there—his melodramatic stories started coming true! When he wrote “The True and False Young Master”, a certain Master Tang discovered his son had been switched at birth by a servant. When he wrote “The Legendary Stone Gambler”, the big stone used to press pickles at the house of Mrs. Wang in the next county was discovered to be a piece of jade, and she became rich overnight. When he wrote “Tragic Love and Deep Affection”, a certain marquis reunited with his long-lost wife, who had run away while pregnant years ago. The couple resolved their misunderstandings, rekindled their love, and even recognized a daughter who had been bickering with him daily. When he wrote “Imperial Exam Cultivation”… When he wrote “Romance and Foraging Go Hand in Hand”… Dumbfounded readers scrambled to hand over their wallets and kneel in reverence: “Master Fu, write about me! Write about me!”
