Because she was ugly and had the reputation of being a jinx, she was hated by cats, dogs, and people alike. Not a single man dared approach her... She had no desire to get married. Even with four jobs in a day, she was still full of energy, with money-making on her mind! Yet she just had to save a bewitching man who spent every day wanting to lie flat. He kept tugging at her sleeve and whining, “Sis, my chest hurts so much. Could you take a look for me...?” Wen Zhaoxi hated people who put on airs. She kicked him. “Get lost! Stop distracting me from making money!” “How about I make money for you, Sis?” “Then how about you become my underling and do whatever I tell you?” Without hesitation, the man dropped to the ground and called out, “Boss!” But their good times didn’t last. Before long, her new underling was dragged home by his family, while Wen Zhaoxi was framed and forced to enter the palace as a substitute bride. She slowly raised her head in the grand hall. Huh? Wasn’t the man sitting on the Dragon Throne her underling? 2 The new consort, who was rumored to be hideously ugly, turned out to be a stunning beauty! The bloodthirsty tyrant everyone feared had put on the face of a benevolent saint, doting on his new consort and indulging her in every way... From then on, the tyrant governed diligently and loved his people as if they were his own children. The country gradually found peace and stability. But at morning court, ministers often saw faint redness on the back of the tyrant’s hand, as if there were thin, long scratches. They were filled with suspicion... Little did they know that deep in the night, the new consort held a cane in one hand and ointment in the other, forcing the tyrant to stay up studying statecraft and reviewing memorials. “If you dare fall asleep, I’ll beat you to death!” “But I am the Son of Heaven! If I die, won’t the whole country be thrown into chaos?” “Then I’ll patch you up and keep beating you!” The tyrant’s eyes reddened. “Sis, I’m so sleepy...” “Let me leave the palace! His Majesty can sleep as long as he likes!” The tyrant’s gaze turned cold. “You can forget about escaping for the rest of your life, Sis...” The overall tone is light and sweet, with a little angst now and then for flavor～ My next novel is available to preorder. Please add it to your favorites!～ 《After My Half-Sister Dies, the Cunning Chancellor Forces Me to Take Her Place》 【A clueless sweetheart who doesn’t know she’s bewitching × a duplicitous, scheming mad chancellor who never says what he means】 A top-tier star and award-winning actress cancels at the last minute and walks out of a production to pursue a newly debuted, little-known actor. As punishment, the System sends her into a sweet historical romance novel, where she becomes Ye Zhixi, the wicked second female lead who ruins her half-sister’s marriage plans. She is a breathtaking beauty, bold and capricious, and the wealthy Ye family dotes on her. The young noblemen who pursue her line up from the East Market to West Street. She has no intention of following the original plot. Ignoring the System’s warnings that she is deviating from the story, she brushes off Xie Langfeng, the male lead and a treacherous chancellor. Instead, she goes to Tingzhu House every day to dally with the handsome Song Ciyi, because he looks exactly like Song Cilin, the man she was pursuing in real life! Rumor has it that the second young lady of the Ye family wants to take him as her male concubine. Her reputation among the young ladies plummets, and the men who once fell at her feet now avoid her. No one dares marry her. She had planned to remain a rich young lady forever, flirting with the indifferent pretty boy whenever she got bored, and living a carefree life of eating, drinking, and waiting to die. But an obituary and an imperial edict of betrothal arrive at the Ye residence on the same day, shattering Ye Zhixi’s dream of lying flat in the story! System: Because you have taken so long to pursue the male lead, the plot has become distorted. The original heroine, who was supposed to marry Xie Langfeng, is your half-sister. She suddenly died at the Xie residence, so Xie Langfeng asked His Majesty to make you, the second young lady of the Ye family, take her place! Second Miss Ye: My fate is mine to decide, not Heaven’s! She flees with her entire family in tow, but Xie Langfeng’s men catch her every time. In the end, her whole family is executed, and she is reborn on the day she receives the imperial edict. In the end, she has no choice but to marry into the Xie family. But everyone in the capital knows that whenever Chancellor Xie touches a woman, he suffers a terrible attack of illness. Her sister was the only exception. Xie Langfeng doesn’t even show up on their wedding night, and Ye Zhixi doesn’t see so much as his shadow for half a month. She enjoys the freedom, and they each do their own thing. She still goes to Tingzhu House every day, until the System appears again. “Starting today, you must complete challenge missions regularly, or you’ll be trapped in the world of the story forever!” Actress: Perfect! If I go back, I’ll have to work. Here I can lie around and eat and drink every day, without worrying about paparazzi catching me chasing a little-known actor! System: You’re unconscious in the real world. Your fans are gradually losing interest and switching to your rival! Actress: Let them! It’s not like I can get out anyway! System: Song Cilin, the man you were pursuing in real life, has gone public with your rival! Actress: So what if they go public? I have Song Ciyi here to stand in for him! System: Your rival is going to star in your best friend’s debut production! The actress hurriedly spat out the grape seeds in her mouth. “How do I complete the challenge? I want out!” System: Complete this week’s task: spend a whole night lying beside Xie Langfeng without him noticing! The actress collapsed. “I’d lie down, but he’d have to be willing! I don’t even know what kind of terrible illness he suddenly gets when he touches a woman. Is he going to chase me with a cleaver? And I don’t even know if he was the one who killed my half-sister!” That night, Ye Zhixi tiptoed into Xie Langfeng’s bed. The instant she touched his cold arm, he caught her. To save her life, she put on an Oscar-worthy performance, her eyes reddening at the corners as she looked up at him tearfully. “I was sleepwalking...” But the man flipped her beneath him. In the dark, his sly, serpentine eyes glowed blood-red. He curled his lips into a smile and buried his face in the soft hollow of her neck, brushing her ear as he murmured in a low, hoarse voice, “You finally came. I’ve been waiting for you for so long...” She begged him to spare her, but he panted, “If you go to Tingzhu House again, I’ll punish you even more harshly...” Theme: Even when trapped in the mire, keep reaching toward the sun and carve out a place for yourself!
