Gu Feifei was accidentally caught in an attack while exorcising demons. When she opened her eyes again, she was in the human world, the only person on Earth capable of cultivating immortality.
Beside her crouched a... decidedly shady-looking charlatan of a Taoist priest.
The shameless charlatan sighed, "Thank goodness the princess is safe. Otherwise, I'd gladly die ten thousand deaths to make amends. It wouldn't be worth it for you to get hurt, Your Highness."
Gu Feifei asked, "Who are you?"
The charlatan replied, "I am Chen Yue, your humble master. I was just about to take you demon-hunting."
Gu Feifei: ???
--
At the brink of death, Gu Feifei stumbled upon an opportunity and transmigrated to another world. She must retrieve the magical artifacts that have fallen into this mortal realm to earn enough merit and return to the world of immortal cultivation.
With her opportunity tied to Chen Yue, she has no choice but to follow him around.
At first, Chen Yue thought she was a nuisance. "The country folk's food is plain and simple. Your Highness probably won't like it. Perhaps you should return to the capital..."
Gu Feifei, who had been abstaining from food for years, looked puzzled as she ate with relish.
Chen Yue: "..."
When danger struck, Chen Yue gritted his teeth and stepped in front of Gu Feifei. "This has nothing to do with her. Come at me!"
But Gu Feifei simply drew the peachwood sword from behind his back and fearlessly cut down the monsters and demons.
Chen Yue: ???
Gradually, Chen Yue discovered that this girl had a charm all her own.
Gu Feifei asked, "Why are you always looking at me?"
Chen Yue replied, "Whenever I see you, my heart feels happy."
Gu Feifei thought for a moment. "I've heard you people call that 'liking someone.'"
"That's right," Chen Yue answered gently. "Feifei, I like you."
Gu Feifei: "Oh. What should I say now, thank you?"
Chen Yue asked helplessly, "Do you like me?"
Gu Feifei looked at Chen Yue, then lowered her eyes to the magical artifact in her hand.
Gu Feifei said, "I like you."

* Title: After Losing My Memories, My Nemesis and I Had a Kid
Blurb:
A nurturing, virtuous seme who can care for children (?) x a human weapon with maxed-out combat skills uke
In his previous life, Gu Duo was a swordsman, roaming the martial world with carefree abandon.
He fell for Yu Zhihong at first sight. They were in love, and they married.
But in the end, Yu Zhihong slit his throat with a single sword stroke, leaving him to die without a proper burial.
In this life, Gu Duo unexpectedly recalled the grudges and entanglements of his past life. Gritting his teeth, he boarded a time-travel ship and forcibly brought Yu Zhihong back with him.
And the bastard even had a child with him.
Gu Duo said with a fake smile, "Long time no see. Your kid is pretty cute, though they don't look like you."
Yu Zhihong replied coolly, "Mm. They take after you."
Gu Duo: ...?
*
Gu Duo and Yu Zhihong have never gotten along.
He is cocky and wild, loves to play around, and has a terrible temper.
Whenever he runs into Yu Zhihong, the student conduct officer, he either loses points or gets assigned an essay of self-criticism.
Later, Gu Duo's extraordinary talent gets him selected as a test subject for a human weapon modification program.
During the final experimental phase, he must enter a simulated training ground and live through thousands of years of reincarnations, experiencing five, six, seven, or even eight lifetimes.
Before the simulation, Gu Duo thinks, "When this training is over, I'll show Yu Zhihong who's really the boss."
After the simulation, Gu Duo is practically in despair. Who did he just fall in love with? Yu Zhihong?!
And they even have a kid?!!
"Click."
--That was the sound of the nutrition pod next door opening.
--And the sound of Gu Duo's entire worldview shattering.
Theme: Be a steadfast materialist.
It's so beautiful, like one of the few peaceful pastoral lives in the world of cultivating immortals with flashes of swords and shadows. Reading it is as comfortable as soaking in warm water. I wish Feifei and Gu Yue a long and lasting love.
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha did Xiao Chengye misunderstand something?
Bai Xiaobao was a good boy, why did he die?
Hahahahahaha, our Feifei's idea is so wonderful
No, the real princess is dead?
Wuwuwuwu, Xiaobao, don't die
Spread the flowers, spread the flowers, spread the flowers, spread the flowers, spread the flowers
Spread the flowers Spread the flowers Spread the flowers
