I kill to save my life, he covets my elder sister. Me: "There are no perfect people in this world. You say I'm disrupting the court? Before labeling me a villain, you'd better pay for my blood debts!" ​​Him: "I've already fallen in love with you, how can I change that? What's done is done, I accept it. Even if it's my elder sister, so what? Whether it's rebelling against the Heavenly Gang or forcibly taking her, I'll bear the world's infamy. Even mountains and seas, I will flatten them.

   The first book, only started publishing on New Year's Day! It's a female-transmigrated male-male dual-male cultivation novel, initially 1vN, later 1v1, angsty at first, sweet later, with many plot twists. The second book is a prequel to the first, also a female-transmigrated male-male dual-male cultivation novel, 1v1 pure angst, finding sweetness amidst the shards of glass. Don't worry about the tag details; male body, female soul—it's inherently difficult to define the exact gender. If you insist on being precise, I can't help it; you're absolutely right. [Kiss][Kiss]
