Another World: Book II

Another World: Book II
Six months. That's how long it's been since my favorite author vanished, leaving her web novel unfinished. But a sudden, dizzying spell, and I wake up as Su Baise, the spoiled young miss of a powerful minister, engaged to a prince from the very novel I was reading! Trapped in a world I only know through fiction, with a destiny tied to characters I thought I knew, can I navigate this new reality and write my own happy ending?

The world tilted, and then, silence. Not the comfortable silence of my apartment, but an unnerving, unfamiliar hush broken only by the distant murmuring of worried voices. When I finally dared to open my eyes, the ornate, unfamiliar room confirmed my worst fears: I wasn't home. I was in a grand, ancient-looking chamber, clearly not my own, and a chill settled deep in my stomach.

"Have you seen the Young Miss?" A voice echoed, laced with worry. I stiffened, my heart pounding against my ribs. Young Miss? That's what they called me, isn't it? Su Baise. The spoiled, headstrong daughter of a minister, destined for an arranged marriage in a novel I'd just been reading.

I peered out from beneath the heavy wooden table, the wood rough against my cheek. Footsteps receded, and I seized my chance, darting out. Freedom felt within reach, until a maid's cry shattered the illusion: "The Young Miss is here!" Cursing under my breath, I bolted, a throng of servants hot on my heels. My new life had begun, not with a whimper, but a chaotic dash for escape.
