Blurb: "In a magnificent, perilous ancient city-state, if you want to prove the meaning of falling in love with me, you might as well pay for it with your life, "
* One late night, you click on an Eggplant novel, intending to kill some time, but unexpectedly transmigrate into a male-led story as an unlucky civilian from the lower district.
When most people transmigrate, they are either born into wealthy families or enjoy a life of luxury, then effortlessly slap their opponents in the face.
But you are disabled and desperately poor.
With survival hanging in the balance, your hard work finally pays off. You connect with Du Youjia, the male lead of the original story, and after graduating from university, you start working for the Donghua Daily as a licensed public-interest journalist.
It is the twenty-sixth year of the Empire. A strange virus sweeps through the Ninth City.
All the ordinary people infected by it turn into hideous monsters.
As a full-fledged reporter, you are sent there by your news director to investigate the truth behind the virus, record every crime, and bring it to light.
Hurrying down the cold, pale corridor, you suddenly hear a chime
Your mother has texted you.
She tells you that your legal husband has lost his memory.
But even if Shi Lingjie has amnesia, can the once greedy, ambitious schemer really become the good man you think he is, reform himself, and get back on the right track?
You can't bring yourself to believe it either.
An irredeemably wicked villain male lead / a gentle, beautiful, flirtatious male lead
x a Mary Sue journalist heroine adored by everyone
(This story is polyamorous along the way, with one partner in the end.)
One of the male leads has villainous traits. His only redeeming quality is that he's never been with anyone else.
Content warnings: All stories in the Huazu series are told in first person, with no omniscient perspective. Everything is shown through the heroine's point of view. This story is full of outrageous twists, features a fake incestuous relationship, and is a melodramatic, angsty romance with coercive seduction, all kinds of bizarre misunderstandings, and a small amount of cosmic horror.
I guarantee only that the male lead has eyes for the heroine alone throughout his life (meaning he is a virgin and she is his first love). I make no other promises. The moment your eager little hand clicks on a chapter, you enter into a mysterious pact with the demon author* (chanting).
(Because of its length, the romance and plot move more slowly than in Han Jiangxue and Wanrenxian. The early chapters contain a lot of setup, so I recommend letting it build up before reading.)
Theme: Promote positive energy.
It's well written, but the heroine is a bit miserable.
