Dear Paper Prince

Shen Li never imagined that after entering a romance game, she'd fall in love for real, even knowing that everyone around her was just a fictional character.

As in every classic starting setup, she is the apple of everyone's eye, with all the eligible princes and nobles vying for her attention.

--Except for Prince Huai, Xi Yao.

This man just refuses to play by the rules! It's as if there's a mysterious bug in him. Her attempts to raise his affection level fail, and instead he turns the tables and flirts with her.

If she can't achieve the perfect happy ending, she'll die. Shen Li racks her brain trying to build up affection, but accidentally breaks the plot. The supporting male and female characters all turn evil, and she's trapped in a desperate situation. Yet Xi Yao is the only one who reaches out and takes her hand without hesitation.

Who will win the struggle for the throne and become emperor? Surrounded by favor, watch how this young woman maxes out her million System points, unleashes her golden finger, and fights her way out of a desperate situation with him!

Being Prince Xi Yao is nothing but misery.

His mother was framed and sentenced to death, and his household is filled with spies planted by other families. Even his own brothers want him dead.

Conspiracies, open schemes; devotion, betrayal... His path is endless darkness, and only Shen Li is that glimmer of starlight illuminating the long night.

It's sweet, and it's doting, too. But one day, this little empress tells him he's just a fictional character?

Shen Li: We were never meant to be together... It was all thanks to me... Mm!

Xi Yao: Fate? Tell me how much you want, and I'll seize it all for you.

The palace maids cover their eyes. Three thousand rooms in the imperial palace, and every day is another day of watching a couple flaunt their love.

The world may be fake, but my love for you is real.

A beautiful, bold, and supremely capable heroine, with a maxed-out combat stat. A remarkably clever, relentless grinder.

A proud, possessive hero with a maxed-out possessiveness stat, who flirts without realizing it.

The story of a brawny young princess storming the palace, pursuing her ambitions and sweet romance side by side, and ultimately becoming the MVP of the whole game.

Notes:

1. She enters a game set in a fictional, ancient-style world. Be warned: the setting nominally includes marrying multiple wives and concubines, with the emperor's three palaces and six courts!

2. The romance is one-on-one, and the heroine is the only one he truly loves.

3. They are faithful to each other in both body and heart! The harem are all just decorative vases. He's not some scumbag emperor who lets a thousand people rest on his arms.

4. A strong couple, sweet and doting, with no frustrating angst.

Blurb:

After transmigrating, veterinarian Lin Luming is penniless, with only the few cats she raised having come along with her.

With nowhere to live and forced to get by on borrowed money, she has no choice but to work as the manager of her savior's teahouse to help pay the bills. Where else can she find a boss who doesn't pay much but provides room and board and lets her keep cats?

She never expected these cats to cause a sensation throughout Zhongzhou. Dignitaries and wealthy families enter a lottery just to catch a glimpse of them.

But one man never has to wait in line.

Xie Yan: Not only does this shop belong to my family, the manager does, too.

Healing the sick and caring for pets was her original goal. Becoming a tycoon by accident was just a surprise.

Xie Yan is a notorious playboy in the surrounding countryside. He often parades around with a talking myna, and he's an expert at gambling and hunting.

Everyone says he'll never pass the imperial exams, so naturally, he gives his studies even less attention. But one day, while hunting, he loses his way in the woods chasing a deer and comes across a stunningly beautiful woman.

--Along with five cats who are decidedly unfriendly toward him.

He only meant to find himself a wife for his teahouse. Passing the imperial exams by accident was an even bigger surprise.

Theme: Love should be equal, with mutual respect and trust. Women should strive to stand on their own.
