The Real Heiress Is Back

Blurb One Mu Nianjin had been frail since childhood. A Taoist priest said she wouldn't live past sixteen, so her parents sent her away from the capital. At fifteen, Mu Nianjin returned to the family home, only to find a new younger sister with no blood relation to her. Every day, Mu Nianjin paid her respects to her elders and tried hard to win her parents' affection. But Mu Nianjin's parents said, "Niannian, your sister is sweet and innocent. She's grown up by our side, so you should be more accommodating toward her." And her fiance, to whom she was betrothed, said, "I only love your sister. Break off the engagement yourself and let us be together." In that case, Mu Nianjin was done trying. She decided to lie flat and focus on staying alive. Whoever wanted to pay their respects could do it, and as for that fiance, she might as well sell him off cheaply. Blurb Two The Mu family thought Mu Nianjin would die at the estate before long. Yet the closer she got to Jiang Hanshu, her fiance's uncle, the better her frail body felt. Jiang Hanshu, Marquis of Dingbei, was noble, handsome, and accomplished at a young age. But he had a fearsome reputation: cold, ruthless, and never batting an eye at killing. Mu Nianjin: He's so scary. How am I supposed to cling to him and stay alive? A Little Scene When no one else was paying attention, Mu Nianjin brushed Jiang Hanshu's hand with her pale, delicate fingertips. Mu Nianjin: I can live a few more days now. Looking at the woman before him, Jiang Hanshu furrowed his brow slightly. "Shameless." Later, when she was almost fully recovered, Mu Nianjin packed a small bundle and prepared to leave. Jiang Hanshu: ??? I thought she liked me. Turns out she was just using me as a lucky charm to replenish her energy and extend her life! Fair-skinned, beautiful, frail real heiress x lucky male lead Blurb written on 2020-08-12, revised on 2021-06-12. Screenshots saved. 1. Pre-release: The Villainess in an Ancient Apocalyptic Restriction Novel. Please add it to your collection. Lin Xia is the villainess in an ancient romance restriction novel. Following the usual cliches, she's been jealous of the heroine since childhood, stole credit for saving her life, threw herself at all the powerful men, and kept butting in like an idiot whenever the male leads gave the heroine suggestive looks. She mocked and framed the second male lead, Jiang Si, and even drugged him. After dutifully following most of the plot, a massive meteor shower suddenly rained down from the sky. A strange disease appeared, turning those infected into bloodthirsty biters called "living corpses." A group of people took shelter in a ruined temple. Outside, several living corpses slammed against the wooden door. The girl facing the door trembled with fear. Lin Xia was frail and slender, and it looked like she wouldn't last fifteen minutes once the living corpses broke in and tore her apart. At the far end, Jiang Si gripped a sharp blade, his expression cold, as though none of this had anything to do with him. For someone this stupid, becoming a stupid living corpse would be a good thing. But just as the living corpses broke through the door, Lin Xia awakened! Well, what was the point of awakening now? An ancient romance with sweet indulgence and restrictions had turned into an apocalyptic restriction novel. Had all those years of work been for nothing? * The young general, the high-level living corpse, the leader of a refuge city, the master healer developing a cure for the living corpses... Male leads one through six showed up one after another, but none of them had anything to do with Lin Xia. There was, however, a scene where one of them threw Lin Xia into a horde of living corpses to cheer up the heroine. When the disaster struck, Jiang Si thought that Lin Xia, a melodramatic girl with no means of protecting herself, would be the first to die. He never expected her to live up to her name: Lin Xia's vitality was as exuberant as a forest in midsummer. She fought living corpses, stockpiled supplies, grew vegetables and grain, and fled through extreme weather. Even the leaders of the various refuge cities competed to become her followers. Lin Xia: The apocalypse is hard. An apocalypse restriction novel is even harder. Either I get bitten by a living corpse on day one, or I survive! A Little Scene: The moment the living corpses broke into the ruined temple, newly awakened Lin Xia lunged at Jiang Si, gazing at him with affection and clinging to his robes. She made sure everyone in the temple heard her say, "Brother, I'm your long-lost sister. Save me!" Jiang Si: ... Looking at the melodramatic girl in front of him and the condemning stares of everyone else, Jiang Si's urge to kill grew stronger! An ancient-style apocalypse story featuring natural disasters, stockpiling, fighting zombies, a System, farming, and infrastructure building. 2. Ancient Times Transmigration pre-release: What's with the Heroine's Surname, Diao? Please add it to your collection. After transmigrating, Diao Kui discovered she was a terrible sister-in-law. And just as her name suggested, the entire Diao family was full of the worst sorts of people. Her grandfather and father were a pair of "skinflints" who lived by the rule that "the meat must stay in the pot," while her mother and older siblings were lazy, greedy, and forever causing trouble. By the usual formula, the more these awful people strutted around, the worse their eventual fates would be! Diao Kui: Having a family full of awful people is bad enough, but what kind of young lady has the surname Diao? A story of terrible people battling terrible people, farming, fleeing famine, and making a fortune. Theme: Do more good deeds
