I Came Back with My Dowry

[My next novel, Please, Let Me Be a Widow!, is open for preorders in my author page!] Xiao Minming transmigrates into a Western fantasy story as a human princess. Just before her wedding, she transmigrates back with a lavish dowry worth a fortune... and becomes a celebrity who is all looks and no substance. Xiao Minming: I may not study etiquette, understand the people, make potions, learn magic, play with summons, and I may have run away from my wedding, but I know I'm a good princess. But you, girl, can't sing, dance, or act, and you have no social skills. And you're secretly married! You're really not a good celebrity! After transmigrating, Xiao Minming was wild, free-spirited, and relied on her acting skills to become a good princess. Back in her original world, she faces a huge mess and calmly becomes the most infamous star, earning the most money, making the best potions, and looking more beautiful than ever. Then one day, her haters discover that Xiao Minming has conquered one towering peak after another in the entertainment industry and has clearly turned the tables against all odds... The livestream comments go wild: Holy crap, she actually turned it around? You're amazing! Xiao Minming calmly says: Take it easy, take it easy. This is basic stuff. Just then, award-winning actor Mo Wentian walks into frame behind her, his hair damp and a bathrobe on. "Minming, where's the new shampoo?" The whole internet: ...???!!! And it gets even better. A story about a woman who goes from being a pretty face to a powerhouse, crushes her rivals with her talent, and falls in love with her secretly married husband along the way. Reader's guide: 1. The characters are not based on real people. Please don't read them as such. If anything makes you uncomfortable, click X and leave. You'll be happier, and so will I. Insults will bounce right back at you, bleh! 2. Includes some elements from primeval mythology, with monsters and spirits in the modern world. 3. The heroine has a golden finger. Her name is Xiao Minming, and the hero is Mo Wentian: a textbook romance between Mingming and Tiantian (just kidding). If you're interested, please add Please, Let Me Be a Widow! by Yu Ligan to your reading list! Blurb: Lin Qian transmigrates into the villain faction of a wealthy-family novel. Her husband, Lu Wei, has had a crush on the heroine for years. When his love goes unreturned, he finally snaps, commits all manner of crimes, and tries to kidnap the heroine to do unspeakable things to her. But his plan goes awry, and he gets hit by a car and killed. He leaves behind a huge mess. The original owner of Lin Qian's body is devastated, suffers a mental breakdown, and dies young after a miserable life. When they get married, Lu Wei looks at her scornfully. "Sign the prenup. I'll transfer the seaside villa I use for vacations and the downtown apartment to you, plus some cash and stocks. Just behave yourself and don't expect anything you shouldn't." A prenup means what's yours is yours and what's mine is mine. We have nothing to do with each other. So you can be your own psycho, and I can be a rich housewife? Lin Qian nods frantically: Please, let me be a widow! * After marrying Lin Qian, Lu Wei awakens to the entire plot in a dream. He's mortified and flustered. How did I get so stupid?! He tries to use his wife, with whom he has a marriage of convenience, to avoid the heroine's halo. But the villa is empty, and there's no sign of anyone at the downtown apartment. His assistant only says, "Sir, your wife is on her honeymoon." Lu Wei: "Honeymoon?" She's on a honeymoon while I'm back here?! Assistant: "It's the honeymoon on the reality show Honeymoon-Style Romance. I checked out the contestants. The four male leads all look great and are in good shape... Oh, but don't worry. Dating shows are scripted; none of them are sincere." Lu Wei immediately buys a premium membership and watches the livestream. Lu Wei: ... Look at those smoldering glances and how well they get along! I even spotted Lin Qian's ex-boyfriend. To hell with your 'it's all scripted'! Lu Wei uses his money to replace the original fourth male contestant. On the day of the shoot, air traffic control forces him to fly to the seaside in first class. The seats next to him are occupied by the heroine and the hero, who are guest contestants that week. The flight attendant looks at him with confusion, pity, and curiosity, as if he's a stalker with the special skill "How to Be a Backup Boyfriend." Lu Wei: … This is so messed up! Theme:
