But, why did she recall these memories now, of all times?

In another world -

A young girl, author who wrote online novels for a living, slept soundly, her body moving imperceptibly to her breathing.

"Riiiiiiiing ~" the mobile phone beside the bed vibrates, sounding out the introduction to a retro song.

The female author flipped over, crawled to the edge of the bed, and stretched out a shaky hand to pick up and check the mobile phone. The phone number displayed on the screen belonged to her editor.

Wait. Editor?

The female author startled awake and stared at the phone screen for two seconds. Once she confirmed that this number belonged to her editor, she answered the call immediately.

"Hello, Dear. What's the matter? "

"Why did you modify the old script? Why did you assign a villainess as the female lead? Why don't you fix your brain?"

This barrage of questions from her female editor stumped the female author. Innocently, she asked, "What are you talking about? I didn't change anything."

"Go and check for yourself. The novel title is 'The Overlord School Prince Falls in Love with Me.'"

"Oh."The female editor spoke so firmly that the female author dared not to disobey.

After hanging up the call, the female author opened the web browser and logged in. She clicked on the old article and discovered that the protagonist's column converted from shipping An Mudie with Wei Shenglan to shipping Ye Xi with Wei Shenglan.

Oh my God. What the hell????

The female author's face twisted momentarily, and then she saw that the titles for the first three chapters also changed. So, she hurriedly opened them.

After reading the modified contents, the female author laughed unceasingly. For her, Ye Xi's original character setting collapsed and became particularly neurotic. What was on her mind? Had she a reincarnated from this world? Ha ha ha~

After she finished laughing, the female author could only say one thing. These were not her changes, ah!!!

Before she could figure it out, she found that she received many negative responses. Negative reviews made up eight out of ten of all of her feedback, asking whether the author caught a illness and reconstructed her plot in her sickness? You've established this storyline on for several f*cking years already, so why would you take the time to distort the whole plot from beginning, you idiot?

But some reviews also looked different, saying things such as "Look at this new plot AHAHAHA!!," "After the change, this new plot turned sour, and "I'm looking forward to the new development in the future," and so on.

The female author sighed. This was the so-called misfortune always arrived accompanied. First, her editor woke her up early in the morning for no reason. Second, someone stole her account, rewrote all of her work, and reduced her star rating to negative two. Did all this misfortune befall her because she devoted herself to science, rather than to worship God and burn incense?

The female author picked up her mobile phone and attempted to call the editor, only to find that an unfamiliar contact entry appeared in the phone, labeled "Ye Xi."

Ye Xi?

Crazy?

Could the perpetrator, who stole her account, even hack her mobile phone?

Oh, my God. How much does this person love me?

In her sour mood, the female author, clicked open this "Ye Xi"'s contact details and found that the phone number field was empty.

? ? ?

The female author fell silent. With only the help of her meager IQ, she really couldn't figure out what was going on.

After that moment of silence, the author gave up her plans to report the matter to her editor and dialed the contact that did not even have a number. She wouldn't be too late if she asked the editor at later time, when this call fails to connect. However, she felt absolutely sure that this sort of contact will fail.

In the fictional world-.

Ye Xi had just managed to figure something out, when the ringing from her phone startled her. She trembled with fear and sweat lightly soaked her back. Soon after calming herself down, she pulled out her mobile phone, only to see a blank number calling.

For three seconds, Ye Xi considered whether she should hang up or answer the call. However, the blank number piqued her curiosity, so she ended up answering the call.

"Hello," a sweet, female voice spoke from the phone. However, the voice sounded rather abnormal, tinged with the tremulous tone of surprise and excitement.

"Hello. Who are you? "asked Ye Xi.

"Your name is Ye Xi?"

Ye Xi kept silent for a few seconds, proceeding cautiously, "Who are you? Why do you know my name?"

"That... emm... This is a complicated situation."

"Then, simplify it."
