Crossing into Tonight

The main story is complete~ OVO I'll polish it up next, then settle down to write some bonus chapters~

(The paid bonus chapters after the main story are because I had to rush to make the rankings, QAQ. I'll think over the next couple of days about what would be worth writing, or is there anything you'd like to read?)

"Back then, I thought you pitied me. I didn't want you to feel sorry for me without loving me."

"Now, go ahead and pity me. Please, pity me. Please, see me."

At eighteen, he used dark, despicable methods to take one step after another into her world.

At twenty-three, he pulled her out of the story and planned a happy ending for everyone, except himself.

--

When the story's plot unfolded before Yun Xining, she still couldn't believe that this world was a novel.

Or rather...

She didn't want to admit that the boy who was always so bright and full of passion was the original novel's villain, while she was merely an insignificant passerby the author didn't think worth writing about.

Only when she opened her eyes again and found herself back in the height of summer at nineteen did she accept this absurd truth.

She had returned to a time before the original story began, to the night when he hadn't yet confessed his feelings.

She thought that perhaps there was something she could do...

A reserved, introverted young lady who is just a passerby vs. a gloomy, insecure young master who is the villain

One-on-one romance + mutual salvation + both are virgins + love that goes unrequited? + rebirth?

[Reader's Guide]

- The tags "reserved and introverted" and "gloomy and insecure" in the blurb only describe them in the early stages. They'll gradually change later.

- The male and female leads may have some less-than-likable traits (or thoughts) early on.

I believe love is something you have to learn. No one is born knowing how to love, so they'll have to adjust to each other, and there will be times when they don't understand one another. If that bothers you, please read with caution.

- The pacing is a little slow in the first few chapters. If you can, please give it a few more chapters, QAQ.

- There are lots of twists. I'm determined to let every character break free of old-fashioned tropes and become the protagonist of their own story. So please don't define a character before their story is over.

- The professional knowledge about finance, design, psychology, and other fields is based on information found online. Please don't scrutinize it too closely.

- This is the author's first book, and the writing may be a little rough. Please bear with me, and read with caution if that bothers you.

[Coming Soon] Next up: Jing Sheng

An unconventional fixer lady X a passerby B gentleman who knows he's charming

Chen Xinxiu had no idea whether what happened to her was a blessing or a curse.

On her first day as Small World Fixer 2424, an irresistible force swept her into an old-fashioned CEO romance novel.

Compared to saving a world overrun with zombies, this peaceful world seemed pretty nice, didn't it?

The System told her that in this world, her default name was "Chen Xinxiu."

[System 1008]: Normally, every time you enter a small world, you'll have an identity.

[Fixer 2424]: So what's my identity?

[System 1008]: Your situation isn't normal.

In other words...

In this small world, she had nothing but a name???

Well, if she didn't have to save the world, she'd better save her empty stomach first.

Labor creates wealth, also known as...

scavenging.

She'd go to a high-end residential compound, find some high-end stuff, then sell it for a fortune!

High-end compounds really were different. Even though she was a stranger, the security guards politely invited her in.

CEO novels really were different. Even the passerby B tossing out the trash was stunning.

No wonder the villain in some small worlds fell in love with the passerby A.

Wait!

Was passerby B going to share the blueberry cream-cheese bun in his hand with her?

Chen Xinxiu had never accepted charity from anyone--

but then again, she hadn't eaten all day.

Life comes first!

Who says capitalists are all evil?

Chen Xinxiu thought the young capitalist before her was both handsome and kindhearted.

He'd found her a place to stay and even helped her get a job.

Just who was he? Could he be a con artist?

No, she had nothing. There was nothing to scam her out of.

[System 1008]: Yun Jingsheng, the older brother of the passerby A the villain falls in love with.

Chen Xinxiu sneakily looked the young man up and down, then came to a conclusion:

No wonder Yun Jingsheng was helping her.

His younger sister could even change a villain's heart, so he must be a great philanthropist too.

To thank Yun Jingsheng for saving her stomach, Chen Xinxiu swiped a rose from a flower shop and gave it to him:

"Don't you think you're just like the rose in The Little Prince?"

Later, scalding tears fell into the hollow of her neck as the young man held her tight.

"Chen Xinxiu, you have to take responsibility for your rose."

Theme: If we're destined to part, then I'll treasure every minute we have together.
