After Cuddling Up to the Snake Demon Lord

My next book will be The Mute Rose (blurb at the bottom).

Sensitive, insecure, gloomy mute bottom × cold on the outside and even colder within, truly icy queen top

Blurb for this book: Slightly sociophobic, healing little sunshine × gloomy, cold, beautiful Demon Lord with two souls in one body (at first, they'll fight tooth and nail over who gets to be number one)

The good news: she transmigrated.

The bad news: even after dying, she still has to work, and won't retire for 500 years.

Wen Xin transmigrated as an immortal who had damaged her brain through cultivation.

A disastrous start: no System, no golden finger, and all her cultivation had been wiped out. While everyone else soared through the skies, she struggled to keep up on the ground.

She hadn't been on the job for long before an order transferred her to the Demon Realm.

Wen Xin thought going to the Demon Realm would just be a business trip. Who could have guessed that while other people worked nine to five, her job was to eat with the Demon Lord, go to work with the Demon Lord, go shopping with the Demon Lord, sleep with the Demon Lord, and serve as the Demon Lord's human painkiller. And she wasn't allowed to leave her side!!!!

Wait, is this really a proper job?

Wen Xin, now seated in the Demon Empress's place, thought to herself: Huh? I have no idea!

Si Heng was born at the dawn of chaos with a curse from the Heavenly Dao. Driven by pain, she constantly pushed herself to carve out a path through the Demon Realm, until she finally claimed the throne. Yet even then, she couldn't escape the bone-deep agony.

After ten thousand years of sharing a body, Si Heng was sick of it. She decided to destroy herself and end a life entwined with thorns.

But when she was in despair, her soul split off another self to bear her pain. At the same time, Wen Xin's arrival gave this seemingly inevitable end a chance to change.

Demons have no need for sleep. That day, Si Heng slept beside Wen Xin for the first time in ten thousand years. When she awoke, she was dazed for a long while. So this was how light a body could feel without pain.

A little scene from Wen Xin's diary

Day one as a human painkiller: Demon Lord Si Heng is cold and hard to get along with.

Day two as a human painkiller: Why is Demon Lord Si Heng a different person every time?

Day three as a human painkiller: The Demon Lord Si Heng is actually a snake! Scared GIF.

Day n as xxx: Si Heng used her tail again. I hate Si Heng!!

Si Heng: "Oh? You hate me? That's not what you said last night, Wen Xin."

Warnings:

Writing this just for myself. Letting loose.

One-on-one (strictly speaking, it's one-on-two).

SC, HE

The Mute Rose

Blurb 1

Because she had suffered from mutism since childhood, Jiang Jingtian was the one who got abandoned.

Her childhood in her adoptive parents' home wasn't a happy one. To escape her birth family, she dropped out of school and started working at a young age. At last, before turning twenty-five, she owned a flower shop of her own.

Perhaps because the first half of her life had been so bitter, she met Lin Ting on her birthday.

Pursuing Lin Ting was the craziest and boldest decision Jiang Jingtian had ever made.

But insecure people always take a step forward and then a step back.

When she realized the gulf between her and Lin Ting, she retreated. When she felt she should follow her heart, she moved forward. When she saw so many remarkable people around Lin Ting, she retreated. When she realized she couldn't let go, she moved forward.

In the end, Lin Ting got fed up.

"What do you think this is, my living room? You come and go whenever you please?"

After that, the glacier finally melted for her.

Life was getting a little better, day by day, and Jiang Jingtian thought she would go on living a quiet, happy life.

But trouble always shows up when you least expect it, without even giving you a chance to say goodbye.

Blurb 2

When Lin Ting was young, her parents divorced, and she grew up with the family maid. To avoid becoming like her parents, she built a tall wall around herself with coldness and distance.

It wasn't until she met Jiang Jingtian that she realized even the strongest walls couldn't withstand someone hammering at them over and over.

On the first day, Jiang Jingtian knocked off a few pieces of stone and held them in her hands, cheering with delight. On the second day, she brought cement and silently filled the gaps where the stones had been. She kept repeating this, day after day.

At first, Lin Ting only wanted to watch from the sidelines. She didn't care.

Later, Jiang Jingtian nearly drove her crazy.

Lin Ting had lived for over thirty years, only to fall for this little girl. No, she was a little liar. She brought Lin Ting out from behind her high walls, then cruelly abandoned her, just as selfishly as Lin Ting's parents had.

When they met again three years later, Lin Ting thought the walls she'd built this time were sturdy enough. But when she saw that Jiang Jingtian, whom she'd painstakingly pieced together, had been shattered by life once more, the walls came crashing down.

Fine. She didn't mind being fooled a second time.
