Click into my author page and add it to your reading list! *Blurb: A dog-blood story about an old lecher teasing a sweet puppy, then getting bitten back after his secret identity is exposed. Younger love interest, happy ending, equal parts plot and romance. Yu Shi, the greatest sword cultivator in the world, dies unexpectedly and is reborn a hundred years later as a sickly elder of a rundown sect. His cultivation is unstable, his character is so-so, but at least his face is easy on the eyes. While investigating the truth behind his tragic death in his previous life, he gets involved with Tao Song, a junior disciple from the neighboring sect with excellent cultivation, character, and looks. Relying on having saved Tao Song's life in his previous life, Yu Shi shamelessly plays the victim in every way and clings to him for all he's worth. Until one day, he discovers Tao Song isn't thinking about repaying his benefactor. He's thinking about marrying him... And it seems his secret identity was exposed ages ago... [Before his identity is exposed] Tao Song (cold.jpg): Sword cultivator, I've already given my heart to someone. I won't consider anyone else. Yu Shi: Oh, got it. [After his identity is exposed] Tao Song (shamelessly flirting.jpg): Sword cultivator, look at me! Do you like me today? Yu Shi: Huh??? [The one pursued: An old lecher on the outside, a romantic innocent on the inside, and extremely slow to catch on to love. [The pursuer: Sweet and wolfish, flirtatious and doting, utterly devoted and incredibly jealous. Younger pursuing the older. The pursuer has loved the one pursued since childhood. In this life, there is a process of uncovering his secret identity. A disguised-identity mystery, with romance as the main focus. [Upcoming] My Bookshop in Ancient Times (Transmigrated into a Book). Find it on my author page! [A laid-back farming story with a cozy, everyday feel, romance, and plenty of food] [Elegant and gentle one pursued x aloof, scheming (or silly?) pursuer, a sweet little story] Chef Su Yao transmigrates into a frail scholar with the same name, waiting to take the imperial exams in the capital. With a rebellion, palace coup, and political intrigue about to unfold in the book, Su Yao knows he's been cast as a cannon-fodder character and decisively packs his things. Why bother taking the exams? Isn't inheriting the family business much better? The Su family has an ancestral bookshop that sells both classics and popular tales. From then on, Su Yao leads a relaxing life of collecting manuscripts, selling books, earning money, drinking tea, and daydreaming. Only the bestselling author is a real handful: aloof and cutting, fussy and sarcastic, with endless excuses for missing deadlines and handing in manuscripts late. The first time Su Yao goes to his house to demand a manuscript, this Mr. Fu is reclining on a couch without even looking up. "The wonton wrappers I ate today were too thick and hurt my teeth. I can't write." Su Yao, wearing his professional fake smile: "What kind of wonton wrappers would you like, sir? Thin as paper?" After a cup of tea's worth of time, sharp-eyed, sharp-tongued foodie Fu Ling looks at the paper-thin wontons, then at the person who brought them. Hmm, he's nice. I need to find a way to marry him. [The pursuer's point of view] Fu Ling, the retired Left Chancellor, starts writing popular tales while idling at home. As he writes, he falls for Su Yao, the owner of the little bookshop that publishes his work. Graceful in company, skilled in the kitchen, clever, fair-skinned, and long-legged. The ever-picky Fu Ling is quite satisfied, until he discovers: Teacher Fang, who teaches at the school, is quite taken with Su Yao too; Chef Chang, who runs a restaurant, is quite taken with Su Yao too; Doctor Zhou, who sees patients, is quite taken with Su Yao too; Even Xu, the scholar who sells calligraphy on the street, is quite taken with Su Yao... Chancellor Fu is furious. He brings out the political skills that once let him dominate the court: Anyone who dares covet my man can forget about it! #Fantasy setting, no historical research##Everyday life##Laid-back##Super lighthearted# #Sweet, super sweet# #Not much focus on running the business##Romance is the main focus##A story for foodies# Theme: True love never fails, and lovers will find their way to each other
