Great job for your first chapter, FinnniE! I don't really read a lot of fantasy novels but this was easier to read so I was able to finish the long chapter 😂. I would suggest for you to improve on the dialogues by associating the lines to the character who's speaking for better reading experience. Good luck for the contest! 💕😍

In the magical western fantasy world, elves had always been the representative of elegance. As a modern person, Osley was also trying his best to maintain his cold image. He enjoyed this process very much. He, who had been heartbroken in his previous life, only wanted to stay away from everyone. However, he did not expect that he would go further and further down the road of collapsing his character. His biological mother was the coldest elf? I'm sorry, but who's the elf who's pretending to cry in front of her son so that her son can cook? Osley started a fire by drilling wood, and his cold character collapsed by 10%. When he began to cultivate magic, Osley decided to maintain his character. He became the first place. A talented genius could not be profaned! However, he didn't expect a silly girl named Xixi to hug him and push him to the ground. Cold-looking character collapsed by 30% Osley was speechless. During the trial, he acted alone, but he met a confused girl who successfully led him astray. His cold and aloof persona collapsed by 50%. 'Forget it,' Osley thought,'This is too scary. Can't I just leave?' In the end, when he was in school, he met that girl again, Osley…The feeling of being moved was completely ruined. Cold and aloof? What was it?

The male lead was struck by lightning

Faced with the eighteenth time her undergarment had been stolen, Jiusheng gritted her teeth and put her palms together, praying silently to the child-giving Guanyin, hoping that the idiot young master who coveted her beauty every day would be struck by lightning as soon as possible. There was a thunderstorm in the capital, and her prayers were finally heard by the heavens. However, after that idiotic young master was struck by lightning, he actually managed to recover from his ten years of stupidity! His poems were endless, and every one of them was a masterpiece that was handed down from generation to generation! He single-handedly supported a declining family to prosper and become the richest! Her presence became the first on the leaderboard! Wait a minute! Why didn't the lightning strike his lecherous eyes? Jiu Sheng solemnly made a vow to the Buddha again, begging for another strike. "Shengsheng, you're actually here to beg the Child-endowing Guanyin? This thing is idealistic and won't work. If I work hard tonight, you might get what you want." "Get lost!"

Dressed like a beloved pet

As the sous-chef of a five-star hotel, he was locked in a cold storage room and directly transmigrated, and he actually became the palace maid of Qifei?

At this moment, Qifei Wen Chuqiao passed by quietly. Qin Luo subconsciously blurted out,"Symbols…" Look at the quadrants?" "You also transmigrated here?" Wen Chuqiao's eyes were brimming with tears. "My family!" Qin Luo cried. Outsiders wondered why the Cold Palace was so lively every night, while Qin Luo and Wen Chuqiao were doubting their lives when they saw the jar of fine salt they had just brought back from the imperial kitchen. "This…" There was no technology to refine refined salt in ancient times..." "Then where did the refined salt come from?!!" Wen Chuqiao asked.
