Healing the Villain

Blurb:

Qing Luo wakes up to find herself in a book, as the concubine forced upon the male lead.

That very day, the male lead, who is quarrelling with the heroine, tells her to get lost.

Qing Luo gets lost without hesitation, and takes the valuable wedding clothes and jewelry with her.

On her way past the brothels and alleys, she sees a procurer dragging a bedraggled young man out of a male courtesan house.

As the boy silently endures the procurer's beating and insults, Qing Luo catches sight of a face just like the one described for the little villain in the book. She hands the procurer some silver and persuades him to stop.

A few days later, she discovers a little shadow following her. The boy's pretty face turns red, and he stammers without saying a word. He's so obedient, nothing like the gloomy, deranged little villain in the book.

Softhearted, Qing Luo takes him in, and before long their lives are flourishing.

But she starts to have a problem.

One day, the little villain grows up and presents her with wedding clothes and a phoenix crown, asking her to marry him.

The ministers behind him nearly drop their eyes to the floor.

When King Qing was young, palace intrigue led to him being lost among the common people. Years later, the ministers finally found him, tears in their eyes, only to discover he was nothing like they had imagined. The young King Qing is noble and graceful, with the arts of an emperor at his fingertips. He's exactly the ruler of their dreams.

The one flaw is that King Qing has fallen for a common woman.

They have seen him personally bend down to put embroidered shoes on her feet, and breathe into her hands to warm them in the depths of winter.

How utterly improper. Men and women have their roles reversed!

Yue Jiuxi:

Born low and humble, she was the sun he had begged to reach, the beloved he longed for day and night.

He knows how good she is, so good that he would give up everything just to see the gentle smile in her eyes.

CP: Warmhearted little angel x gloomy, pretty little villain. One-on-one, both are inexperienced.

I want to heal you, so you can forget all your misfortunes and spread your wings to fly high. - Qing Luo

Only with you by my side do I truly feel alive. - Yue Jiuxi

[Coming Soon 1] A Happy Ending with the Villainized Male Lead

Blurb

Her childhood friend is a social phobe. Suo Qianqian is bound to a System, and to help him become a male lead as soon as possible, she takes him everywhere and acts like a total extrovert.

After all that effort, he learns to hide behind her.

The System's mission progress is still below 5%.

Suo Qianqian is getting a terrible headache.

She puts her life on the line to create a male lead the System will approve of.

At last, she can bow out after a job well done.

But, uh, why does something feel off?

When Shi Jiyu was young, he was kidnapped. After finally making it home, he never wanted to go out again, let alone speak to anyone outside.

His world was as narrow as a well, until one day she arrived, bright as the sun, and everything changed.

For her sake, he carefully changed himself.

He thought they loved each other, until one day she asked him to fall for another woman.

When he found out that she had feelings for his friend,

Shi Jiyu fell apart.

After the plot fell apart, Suo Qianqian and the System stared at each other.

The System was falling apart too. “I told you to flirt with him. I knew this day would come!”

Suo Qianqian: “I didn't flirt with him.”

The man in white enters, as bright and graceful as the moon. “What does Qianqian want to do?”

Suo Qianqian feels guilty as she looks at the new mission the System has assigned her.

[The male lead's corruption has reached 100%. Use warmth and love to bring him back to normal.]

Suo Qianqian stares at Shi Jiyu, who is smiling gently as he feeds her with his own hands, and is completely baffled. Isn't he perfectly normal?

Until that night, when he locks her by his side.

The corners of his crimson eyes finally curve into a satisfied smile.

Suo Qianqian finally understands what the System meant, and can only whimper.

[Coming Soon 2] She Was Blind When She Saved the Disgraced Crown Prince

When Han Lu was young, she hit her head on a rock, and the lovely young woman became blind.

Fortunately, she had a special talent for tending flowers and growing precious varieties for the nobility.

That allowed her to work safely as a flower gardener at the Crown Prince's estate.

By chance, she met a cold and proud young man.

When a fire broke out at the estate, they escaped together.

The young man was prickly as a hedgehog. She felt sorry for him, so young and ignorant, and kindly looked after and raised him.

Who could have known she was raising a venomous snake?

He treated her as a diversion and forced his way into her bed.

Even her normally gentle nature couldn't stop her from driving him out.

On a stormy night, he knelt outside her room all night.

Inside, she did not sleep a wink.

Three years later, a new emperor ascended the throne.

She was brought into the imperial harem, and just as she was growing uneasy, the young emperor came over with a smile. “Sister Lu, it's been a long time.”

The familiar, oppressive voice made her freeze with fear.

What made her despair even more was discovering that she was the seductive consort who brought ruin to the nation in the novel The Emperor's Favor, and the new emperor was the foolish ruler who indulged her.

He would die in a fire the following year, during Prince Ning's bid for power.

And her end would be even worse: she would be hung on the city wall and drowned in spit.

With no other choice, she can only try to reform the emperor, taming his violent temper.

In the end, she succeeds.

The palace is full of beauties, and she assumes he's only after something new.

She waits and waits for him to grow tired of her.

But year after year, his love only grows more fierce, leaving her nowhere to run.

The male lead's version:

The disgraced crown prince met a blind peasant girl.

In his bleak life, he found a light.

Reader's guide:

1. The heroine is blind at first, but regains her sight later.

2. As the blurb suggests, there will be melodrama. The story opens with the heroine driving the male lead away.

3. A resilient peasant girl, like a reed, x an emperor who seems graceful and gentle but is actually ill-tempered and cold.

4. The male lead is an emperor, but this is my own style of writing, so it's forcibly one-on-one. He remains chaste.

Theme: Walk side by side and work hard. The future will be better.
