After the Reborn Shield

After transmigrating into a book, Luo Yu enjoyed a smooth life for more than a decade. She thought she was living out a Mary Sue story, only to discover in the end that she was just a stand-in and a human shield.

When the real Mary Sue heroine, Xiang Qin, returned, Luo Yu's family was wiped out, and she herself was dragged into the mire.

Dressed in white, Xiang Qin stood before her and raised her sword coldly. "You've had my identity for long enough. You should be satisfied."

Behind her stood the senior disciple Luo Yu had always respected, the crown prince she'd been engaged to and truly loved, and the young lord of a noble family she'd considered a confidant.

They all watched with cold indifference.

Reborn, she becomes the lowest-ranking cultivator in Sifang City. Though her status is lowly, she is determined to shake the world.

Until one day, someone brings her into their household in a grand bridal procession. Her business partner lifts her veil. "I'll help you get your revenge and give you a life of wealth and glory."

Luo Yu smiles sweetly and pinches the person's chin. "And what do you want?"

Xie Guinan fingers the beads on his wrist, his voice low.

"I want your true heart."

A year after their wedding, Luo Yu accidentally enters Xie Guinan's secret chamber and discovers it's full of the clothes and jewelry of the young lady Luo Yu, as well as the popular novels she's read.

Xie Guinan comes up behind her and wraps his arms around her waist.

Luo Yu asks, "Who are you?"

Xie Guinan chuckles. "Someone from a long time ago."

P.S. I suddenly felt like writing a feel-good power fantasy, so I'll leave the blurb here for now. The start date will depend on how many people bookmark it.
