In the Song and Yuan Dynasties, a "story book" referred to a literary work that was passed down in oral form. It was usually composed of folktales, legends, jokes, etc. After oral praise, it gradually developed into a complete literary work. Huaben first appeared in the Song Dynasty and was known as "Rap and Singing Literature". As time passed, it gradually developed into one of the literary forms of the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. The characteristics of Huaben were vivid language, twists and turns in the plot, and rich characters. They were often accompanied by music, dance and other artistic forms, which became an important part of Chinese traditional culture. There were many ways to classify Huaben. According to the plot and structure of the story, they could be divided into long narrative poems, short stories, legendary novels, and other different types. Among them, long narrative poems usually used historical events, myths, legends, folklore, etc. as the subject matter to structure the grand plot ups and downs; short novels usually used stories and jokes from daily life as the subject matter and the language was concise and clear; legendary novels used historical events and historical figures as the background with mythical colors.

However, she was shock when she discovers that she's been cast as the villainess in her own story. "DON'T TELL ME I BECOME THE VILLAINESS OF MY OWN STORY?!" Shocked and dismayed, she realizes that the only way to return to the real world is to live out her role in the story. Initially, she accepts this fate, but things take an unexpected turn when the characters start deviating from the script. "I don't want another Queen. Youare the only one I want as my Queen, Csille." Prince Fraser whispered. The male lead, who was expected to be annoyed by her constant pestering, instead becomes affectionate and attached to her. "It's inevitable, Lady Lauretré. You will still be the Queen, so I don't see any harm in what I said. Besides, I doubt the King or even the Crown Prince would be willing to change their minds about your engagement." The female lead, who was supposed to separate the male lead from her, begins to play matchmaker between the male lead and the villainess. What should she do? She couldn't get back to the real world if she didn't finished the story as the villainess. But how can she finished it if the two leads are not following the script? Help!!! Still under revision but once done updates will be posted daily at 12pm ( GMT +8 ). Also, please check my other novel, Dimensions Apart. It’s a lighter novel compared to this one.

HOW DID THE GENRE CHANGE??

What will you do when you suddenly woke up as a baby in one of your favourite books? Just like any other transmigrated book or reincarnation in your everyday novel, Rehan was also reading a book named " ALL IS MISUNDERSTANDING" when he died and was born as a villainess brother. But what was written and what he experienced in the book was totally upside down. He was in a mess and the only thought in the mind is that he is being cheated on by this smiling demon called male lead and a rotten girl his sister and his sister's so-called enemy best friend Female lead. He doesn't know how to deal with all this, so let us be his supporter and be a part of his journey and get to know whether he changed the genre of the book or was it all but a misunderstanding. Abstract "Ad......Adrian wha.......what are you doing?" Lucas (Rehan) stuttered as he was cornered to the wall. Rehan has always been oblivious to his surroundings and the feeling of others but at this time he could feel the anger and frustration coming out of his friend. " Me " Adrian raised his eyebrow and pointed at him. " I am claiming what rightfully belongs to me", saying that he dipped his head towards Rehan's lips and kissed him hard.

This story won't have misunderstandings maybe a few here and there but not long and I don't like angst too it won't consist of that too. It will have some drama.
