I Really Didn't Mean to Offend the Mountain God

[Next novel: "The Young Lady Is Breaking Up Other People's Relationships Again", now updating]

Lin Wanqing never imagined she'd transmigrate into the body of an orphan, a sacrificial offering who had already survived two failed attempts.

Now, to pray for rain, she's about to be sacrificed for the third time.

Lin Wanqing: All right, all right. She'll repay this great kindness a hundredfold!

-

At her first meeting with the mountain god, she's captivated by the lively deer that leaps through the forest.

Moonlight glints across his body in nine colors. Neither quite human nor beast, he's so beautiful he doesn't seem to belong in this world.

But the first thing he says is, "When are you leaving?"

If she could leave, would she still be here?

-

As they spend time together, Lin Wanqing discovers that the mountain god is incredibly naive and easy to fool.

So she plays pitiful and innocent, and becomes his divine emissary.

Then, in the mountain god's name, she bans human sacrifice, restores the forest, gathers people to help, and gradually turns Tujia Village into a paradise amid the drought.

Her enemies watch helplessly as she rises higher and higher, and their schemes grow more desperate.

-

Later, she and the mountain god are allies, close friends, and teacher and student. The one thing she never expected was for him to say, "I want a partner."

What should she do?

The mountain god not only has a gorgeous face, he's also a straightforward, nurturing man...

And he keeps inviting her to ride on his deer form. How could anyone say no?

Blurb for *The Young Lady Is Breaking Up Other People's Relationships Again*

[Gossip-loving, fun-seeking female lead x lovesick, scheming, frail male lead who uses a wheelchair]

Rong Zhaoci, the young lady of the Prime Minister's household, is notorious for breaking up couples. It's said that even an affectionate dog couple would split up after one glare from her!

The famous golden couple in the capital, the censor's daughter and the poor scholar, the general's daughter's husband and the delicate flower from the borderlands: she breaks them all up!

Who knew that while she was at it, a huge disaster would come crashing down on her?

It turns out someone powerful is advising all these people from behind the scenes.

-

To investigate the person behind it all, Prince An deliberately gets close to Rong Zhaoci.

She sees right through him but doesn't expose him. She just smiles and watches him perform.

"Prince An, are you the only invalid in a wheelchair in the whole capital? You're not very clever at hiding it, are you?"

He looks up. "Since Miss Rong saw through me, why didn't you run?"

She steps back half a pace, her skirt brushing his knees. "Why would I run? You use me, I use you for amusement. Neither of us owes the other anything."

But who could have known that someone would fall for her without even realizing it?

"Miss Rong, we're made for each other. We belong together."

Rong Zhaoci, however, goes to great lengths to avoid him. "Your Highness, I don't want to become a vegetarian widow while I'm still young."

"Who says you'll have to be a vegetarian?"

His fingertip grazes her wrist. "You can find out for yourself..."

-

One day, Xie Anzhi opens the private residence she bought behind her family's back. The whole house is filled with notebooks recording gossip.

One of them says:

His waist is so slender. I want to hold him.

His hands are whiter than jade. They'd be perfect for holding mine.

There's nothing wrong with a wheelchair, either. If I hold the back of his chair, he won't be able to escape.

Only then does he realize he isn't the only one who's fallen in love.
