After Marrying the Obsessive Male Lead, I Became a Couch Potato

Blurb One

The Marquis of Dingbei, Shi Shu, was cruel by nature and unpredictable in mood.

Yu Sui was tricked by her stepmother into marrying Shi Shu, even though the match had originally been arranged for her older sister.

Shi Shu treated her as a substitute, then kept her confined in a gilded cage.

Yu Sui became a caged bird, trapped by Shi Shu's possessiveness. In the end, she died in front of him.

Reborn, Yu Sui packed a small bundle, left the Yu family, and returned to her ancestral home, hoping to stay far away from that bastard.

Not far from the ancestral home lived a local tyrant. Pei Shu was handsome, but notorious for his viciousness, and his features bore some resemblance to Shi Shu's.

Still, Pei Shu was lowborn and uneducated. He could not possibly be the Marquis of Dingbei, who would one day inspire terror wherever he went.

One day, a corrupt official took a fancy to Yu Sui.

With the choice between the corrupt official and Pei Shu, Yu Sui went to the Pei home and tugged at Pei Shu's sleeve, a little nervously. "Would you pretend to be engaged to me?"

Looking at the delicate young girl before him, Pei Shu's eyes darkened. "All right."

Blurb Two

Yu Sui only wanted to save up some money and live a carefree, leisurely life. She never imagined she would marry Pei Shu.

Even less did she expect that Pei Shu would take her back to Chang'an, where the people who had once mocked her would be too afraid to so much as breathe in her presence.

The day she became the Marchioness of Dingbei, Yu Sui: ...

So Pei Shu was Shi Shu in his youth!

Her husband was going to lock her away in a gilded cage and take her by force again. Should she run, or should she run?

*

He was merely a character in a book, written to be obsessive. But Yu Sui was a light, giving him awareness and bringing him out of the book.

Yu Sui was afraid of him, but she didn't know that he had loved her for several lifetimes.

In this life, Pei Shu had only one wish: may Sui be safe and well, year after year.

Stunning, sweet and gentle heroine X strong, handsome, tragic, obsessive hero

1. Please add my upcoming ancient-times transmigration novel, The Female Villain in an Ancient Apocalypse Limitation Novel, to your favorites.

Lin Xia is the wicked female supporting character in an ancient romance limitation novel. As the cliched setup goes, she has been jealous of the heroine since childhood, claimed credit for saving her life, and thrown herself at all the powerful men. Whenever the male leads give the heroine suggestive looks, Lin Xia keeps butting in like an idiot, mocking and framing the second male lead, Jiang Si, and even drugging him.

After diligently following most of the plot, a rain of enormous meteors suddenly falls from the sky. A strange disease emerges, turning the infected into bloodthirsty attackers who bite people. They are called "living corpses."

A group of people hide in a ruined temple. Outside, several living corpses slam against the wooden door.

The girl standing right in front of the entrance trembles in fear. Lin Xia is frail and slender, and it seems she will be bitten and devoured by the living corpses within minutes.

At the far end of the temple, Jiang Si grips a sharp blade, his expression indifferent, as if none of this has anything to do with him. For a fool like her, becoming a foolish living corpse would be a good thing.

But just as the living corpses break through the door, Lin Xia awakens!

Wait, is there even any point in awakening now?

An ancient romance limitation novel with a sweet, doting love story has turned into an apocalypse limitation novel. So all her effort over the past decade was for nothing!

*

A young general, a high-level living corpse, the leader of a refuge city, a genius who develops a cure for the living corpse disease... Male leads number one through six appear one after another, but none of them have anything to do with Lin Xia. Well, except for the part where they throw her into a horde of living corpses to make the heroine happy.

When disaster strikes, Jiang Si assumes that Lin Xia, a drama queen with no ability to defend herself, will be the first to die. But to his surprise, Lin Xia lives up to her name, her vitality as lush as a forest in midsummer. She fights living corpses, stockpiles supplies, grows vegetables and grain, and flees from extreme weather. Even the leaders of various refuge cities compete to become her lackeys.

Lin Xia: The apocalypse is hard, but an apocalypse limitation novel is even harder. Either I get bitten by a living corpse on day one, or I survive!

Little Scene:

As the living corpses break into the ruined temple, the newly awakened Lin Xia immediately throws herself at Jiang Si, gazing at him adoringly and clinging to his robe. She makes sure everyone in the temple can hear her. "Brother, I'm your long-lost sister! Save me!"

Jiang Si: ...

Looking at the drama queen before him and the fiercely condemning looks from everyone else, Jiang Si's urge to kill only grows stronger!

An ancient-style natural-disaster apocalypse story: hoarding supplies + fighting zombies + System + farming + infrastructure building.

2. Please add my upcoming ancient-times transmigration novel, Which Female Lead Has the Surname Diao?, to your favorites.

After transmigrating, Diao Kui discovers that she's a horrible little sister-in-law.

And just as her name suggests, everyone in the Diao family is a complete nightmare.

Her grandfather and father are a pair of "penny-pinchers," living by the rule that "meat must stay in the family pot." Her mother and older siblings are lazy, greedy, and endlessly ambitious, always stirring up trouble.

As the story goes, the higher these troublemakers climb, the harder they fall!

Diao Kui: It's bad enough that my whole family is awful, but what kind of young lady has the surname Diao?

A story about troublemakers fighting troublemakers, farming, fleeing famine, and building a fortune.

Theme: Respect one another, learn to communicate, and treat each other with honesty.
