Her half-dead husband told Beitian Ling, “When I die, marry my older brother.”

Beitian Ling: ?

Do you even know what you’re saying?

“That way, your family won’t force you to die for me,” her husband said.

Back when her older sister had threatened to starve herself to death rather than marry, Beitian Ling had been pushed forward to take her place and marry into a lowly ninja clan.

Now, because of her husband’s untimely death, she was expected to follow him in death.

Beitian Ling refused her husband’s proposal. Under immense pressure, she chose to die alongside him instead.

She swore that if she got another life, she would never make the same mistakes again.

Then Beitian Ling really did come back to life.

No matter how wonderful a man is, if he won’t live long, none of it matters.

Marry his older brother, too? Beitian Ling sneered.

With how crazy that family is, it’s only a matter of time before his brother dies, too!

Reborn and determined to learn from her mistakes, Beitian Ling set her sights on her husband’s sworn enemies:

The long-lived Senju clan, as hard to kill as cockroaches.

If she had to marry someone, why not pick someone she actually liked?

So Beitian Ling talked her father into changing the terms of her arranged marriage.

Her father reluctantly agreed, but made one demand:

Beitian Ling had to break off her engagement with the Uchiha herself.

That was easy enough, wasn’t it? They hadn’t spent much time together, but her husband in her previous life had been good-tempered and had indulged almost every request she made. Surely he would agree this time, too.

Besides, he had been the one to suggest she marry someone else. He probably didn’t care about the engagement.

After all, what difference did it make whom she married?

But when Beitian Ling hurried over, eager to end the engagement, her smiling fiancé’s face turned cold in an instant.

“What. Did. You. Say?” her fiancé ground out.

Why did it have to be that damn Senju?!

Realizing something was wrong, Beitian Ling tried to run, only for someone else to grab her by the wrist.

Her fiancé’s older brother looked at her calmly. “I don’t know what’s going on. But if you don’t like Izuna, you could consider me instead. You don’t have to choose a Senju just to get back at him.”

Beitian Ling: …?

Big brother, what’s gotten into you?

Things were already bad enough, but just then the Senju clan got wind of what was happening and showed up, too.

One man flashed a hearty smile. “I think we should respect Xiao Ling’s wishes, don’t you? Hahaha, we can’t force her.”

His younger brother immediately chimed in. “Big Brother is right. Besides, if she doesn’t like Big Brother, she should consider me first. How did it become the Uchiha’s turn?”

Haha.

Beitian Ling was now caught between a rock and a hard place.

Who on earth should she marry…?

[Reader’s Guide]

1. The heroine is adored by everyone. Expect Mary Sue tropes and melodrama.

2. Lots of alternate-universe liberties, with canon pairings broken up.

3. The author’s writing skills are limited, so the plot has some holes. Please don’t project this novel’s plot onto the original characters. Read with an open mind.

The next novel, “Konoha Has a Kissing Fiend,” is open for pre-orders. Here’s the blurb:

In Kusano Momoe’s world, kissing is a normal way to say hello, while holding hands is something only couples do.

That might sound strange, but every world has its own customs.

Until one day, she transmigrated.

*

Clashing blades and incredible ninja techniques: this was a completely unfamiliar world.

Kusano Momoe trembled as she took in a world that went far beyond her understanding.

While watching a bunch of lunatics fight, spitting fire and water from their mouths, she suddenly realized that she couldn’t go on like this.

So after a boy who seemed to have cataracts rescued her, Kusano Momoe cautiously greeted him, hoping he would take her somewhere safe.

Mwah.

At the time, Kusano Momoe had no idea that this world had different customs from her own.

The boy’s face turned bright red, and he glared at her angrily.

“Hey, what are you doing?!”

Ah, so he was rude, Kusano Momoe thought at first.

It wasn’t until he gave her a thorough scolding that she learned that in their world, only couples kissed.

Her assumptions shattered, Kusano Momoe quietly asked for a pair of gloves. Only then could she accept their world’s customary greeting: a handshake.

But as time went on, things started to get strange.

Hey, now that you know I was only trying to say hello back then, why are you still demanding that I take responsibility?

Are you some sheltered young lady or something?

What, you really are?!

Later, Kusano Momoe took off her gloves and held Neji’s hand.
