The novel is complete. There are new stories and upcoming releases on my author page, so feel free to check them out ⌯oᴗo⌯ Thanks, everyone! The new story's blurb is below.

[Manipulative, Cunning Guide x Proud, Sharp-Tongued Hopeless Romantic]

Shen Tingwei transmigrates into the body of an impoverished legitimate daughter, only to be forced to marry a hedonistic young lord. Fine, fine. She has a vicious stepmother, a scheming stepsister, and a young lord who's all bark and no bite.

She's so poor she can hear the coins rattling in her pockets, so she devotes herself to running a teahouse, determined to make a fortune and then leave in style. But... did she accidentally win over the proud young lord along the way?

Hold on, her family has arrived! And they've brought... her childhood friend?

Caught in a love triangle, with her childhood friend at a loss and Zhou Yanqing's gaze full of murderous intent, Shen Tingwei sighed heavily. She cupped his face in both hands, rose onto her toes, and gave him a light peck.

Zhou Yanqing's eyes went wide, and his cheeks turned bright red. He stammered out a protest, only for Shen Tingwei to calmly say two words: "How noisy."

Proud and sharp-tongued? Easy peasy!

On the surface, Zhou Yanqing is an unserious, hedonistic young lord, but his face turns red at the drop of a hat whenever his wife is involved. After getting jealous, he still sticks close to her with a cold expression.

One moment he's complaining, "My wife never stays home and is always with her childhood friend. What am I supposed to do?" The next, he's saying, "She must love me. Otherwise, she wouldn't have made me pastries herself."

"Ahem. I don't like you, so don't get the wrong idea."

"Is that so? Then why is your face so red?"

"It's hot..."

"It's snowing outside."

The new story is now underway ՞˶･֊･˶՞:

A car accident robbed Wen Yue of the wonderful vacation she'd been looking forward to for ages, and she was immediately swept into a study tour in the world of cultivation.

To return to the real world, she agreed to help the System remove the glitches in the original book. But she unexpectedly transmigrated into the villainous master who was enemies with the male lead.

She planned to calmly recover the original owner's soul, set things right, and change the original story's fate. Instead, the male lead still took her, a useless master, as his teacher.

On the surface, they were a devoted master and disciple. In private, each had their own agenda.

Wen Yue: "...I'll just be nice to him. Please, big guy, don't kill me!"

After she turned away, Zhu Yubai's gaze turned icy. He quietly clenched his fist. "She stole my sword and gave it such an awful name. I'll kill her and offer her as a sacrifice to my sword sooner or later!"

And so Wen Yue began her lie-flat life of raising a disciple. While her disciple practiced swordsmanship, she slept in her room. While he diligently listened to an elder teach cultivation methods, she propped herself up on a table and slept. While his fellow disciples praised him, she stood at a distance, trying to blend into the background...

-

Only when the System forced her to shatter Zhu Yubai's golden core with one palm and send him down the path of demonic cultivation did she finally accept that the genius disciple she'd raised would eventually take revenge on her.

If she couldn't afford to provoke him, couldn't she at least run away?

Wen Yue fled. After collecting the original owner's soul, she ran away in her own body.

But no one had told her how Zhu Yubai knew her real name and what she looked like.

Zhu Yubai loved staring at her face. He would often hold her hand and do nothing but gaze at her with a smile.

"Is there something on my face? Why do you keep staring at me?"

Zhu Yubai said nothing. He simply kept staring at her with bright eyes, clinging to her and becoming her big, fluffy tail.

He opened up to Wen Yue, even confessing the little secret he'd kept from back then: he'd disliked her so much that he'd wanted to kill her and offer her as a sacrifice to his sword.

It was then that Wen Yue learned that ever since a quiet night years ago, the hatred in Zhu Yubai's heart had been completely washed away by love.

Zhu Yubai rummaged through her storage pouch, but accidentally pulled out a crystal pendant he'd never seen before. It clearly looked like something someone else had worn for a long time before giving it to her.

Holding the pendant, he lowered his eyes and came to stand before Wen Yue, looking as if he'd suffered a terrible injustice. "Master, you have to take responsibility for me..."

"I don't care who gave this to you. You can only have me."

Wen Yue looked up to find his eyes rimmed red. With a helpless sigh, she wiped away a tear from the corner of his eye. "Don't worry. You're definitely the official husband!"

Zhu Yubai abruptly grabbed her wrist, unable to believe his ears. "Master, you really want someone else too?"
