The Cannon Fodder's Comeback in the Entertainment Industry

Completed: Marriage, Sweet as Honey / Free: Wildfire Unleashed, a fashion model x an obsessive photographer

Blurb:

After her family goes bankrupt, her father dies, and her mother falls ill, seventeen-year-old Shen Yu is forced to enter the entertainment industry. Unexpectedly, her debut wins a sweep of the Best Newcomer awards.

But disaster strikes without warning. Her powerful backer suddenly dies, and his son begins relentlessly suppressing her in the entertainment industry.

After more than a decade of ups and downs, she becomes a complete nobody, a disposable extra at the very bottom.

With no way out, she decides to join an adventure reality show and make a comeback, but steps off a cliff by accident.

When she wakes again, she has returned to the year the accident first happened.

Now reborn, she has only one conviction: climb to the top.

As long as she can stand at the summit and look down on the world, she is willing to pay any price and use any means necessary.

[An imaginary, realistic setting. The heroine is no saint: a true black-hearted schemer who stops at nothing.]

Lu Yanyan is eccentric, quick-tempered, and jealous.

What she can't stand most is all the women fluttering around Shen Xingzhou.

She cries, throws tantrums, and threatens to kill herself, only for him to coldly ask, "Are you done?"

She thought she could be the one and only woman in his life.

But it wasn't until that gentle, lovely woman appeared that she realized how ridiculous her persistence had been.

At last, she hardens her heart and turns away without hesitation.

Shen Xingzhou thinks Lu Yanyan leaving is just another one of her games.

But when he realizes she isn't coming back, turmoil grows wildly in his heart like weeds.

He searches for her like a madman, and when they finally meet again, his heart settles back where it belongs.

As the man approaches, Lu Yanyan's heart tightens, but she keeps a straight face and walks right past him.

Only when he forcefully pulls her into his arms does he whisper tenderly into her ear, "Are you done? If you are, come home with me, okay?"

Lu Yanyan's body stiffens. With a perfectly measured smile, she slips out of his embrace inch by inch. "Sir, do we know each other?"

Coming soon: Whispering Close

A man supposedly related to Shen Xinghe from a very, very distant branch of the family comes to stay with him: Lu Yan.

He has long, striking brows, bright eyes, a straight nose, thin lips, and a lean, tall, athletic build.

Whenever Shen Xinghe talks to him, he always finds himself unable to meet his eyes.

One day, while Shen Xinghe is bathing, Lu Yan suddenly walks in.

He draws close to Shen Xinghe and places both hands on his slender waist.

"Have you ever had a girlfriend?"

"N-no..."

"What about a boyfriend?"

"!!" Shen Xinghe's face turns red. "N-no, not one of those either."

"What about me?" Lu Yan leans closer and murmurs against his ear, "Want to give it a try with me?"

They say that when a fairy from the Loveflower Clan falls deeply and truly in love, her natal flower will bloom.

If the person she loves picks her natal flower, he can defy heaven's will, but the fairy's soul will be scattered.

Hengwu is a loveflower. Remembering her mother's instructions, she guards her heart and keeps her secret identity hidden. For hundreds of years, all is well, until the day the Ninth Heaven falls into chaos and she meets her "destined one."

Her destined one is dressed in white, saves her like a hero, and treats her with the utmost tenderness. Hengwu falls for him and blooms for him, only to hear him say, "I've finally been waiting for you."

It turns out he has someone else in his heart, his white moonlight, and wants her natal flower so he can defy heaven's will and change that person's fate!

On the brink of death, Hengwu uses her natal flower as a catalyst and sacrifices her cultivation to perform her clan's forbidden art, turning back time.

Back on the day the Ninth Heaven falls into chaos, a powerful villain is on the rampage before her, while the scummy ex is plotting to save her like a hero behind her.

Hengwu has lost all her cultivation and is trapped in a desperate situation. Gritting her teeth, she rushes toward the villain and throws herself coquettishly into his arms.

"I like you, Big Black Magpie!"

The villain, the legendary ugly, black-feathered Big Black Magpie: "...Is something wrong with this woman's head?"

Life as partners in crime with the Big Black Magpie is no picnic, mostly because this bird is completely unhinged!

To stay alive and regain the peak of her cultivation, Hengwu pulls out every trick in the book: fawning, acting like a drama queen, and showering him with sweet talk...

Keep her secret identity hidden and cling tightly to the bird's leg!

Just as she's about to win, her secret identity is exposed.

The Big Black Magpie narrows his eyes, a murderous glint seeming to pass through them, yet his smile is utterly captivating.

"So you're a loveflower. Didn't you say you liked me? Then why aren't you blooming, huh? Heh..."

Hengwu: Oh no, I'm done for!
