The Workaholic Senior Brother Woos the Geniused Junior Sister

[A genius junior sister, tougher than stone and focused only on becoming stronger] x [The perennial runner-up, forced to woo the workaholic senior brother]

Female lead’s perspective:

Su Liyue hid her identity as a disciple of a major sect and went to a secret realm. She never expected her senior brother, Gu Xiujin, the perennial runner-up, to show up in disguise with a mission to win her over… and throw himself into her arms?

Being thrown into someone’s arms felt pretty good. As it happened, she didn’t want to take responsibility, so she never mentioned Gu Xiujin’s true identity. She let their romance unfold, going along with the misunderstanding.

By the time they were in the secret realm, they had held hands and kissed. Gu Xiujin finally couldn’t take it anymore and demanded, "You know who I am, don’t you?"

Su Liyue: "…I don’t know."

Gu Xiujin: "…?"

Su Liyue: Taking responsibility? Not a chance. Not in this lifetime. Her dream was the stars and the sea, and men would only slow down her sword arm.

Later, she rose steadily to the top, gained supreme power, and became an immortal revered by all.

By chance, she learned that she was the heroine of a book. Suddenly, it all felt so pointless. She had already walked the path of her previous life and didn’t want to walk it again. This time, she wanted to live differently.

But when she looked back, she saw that Gu Xiujin had followed her all along, in both her past and present lives. Whenever she turned around, he was there.

Su Liyue thought, He’s had such a hard time pursuing me. Maybe this time I should soften up and give him a title.

Male lead’s perspective:

Before his junior sister arrived, Gu Xiujin was a cultivation prodigy who reached the Golden Core stage in a year.

After she arrived:

His junior sister established her Foundation, and he reached the Golden Core stage.

His junior sister reached the Golden Core stage, and he reached Nascent Soul.

His junior sister reached Nascent Soul, and he was still at Nascent Soul.

His junior sister reached Deity Transformation, and he was still at Nascent Soul.

His junior sister reached Body Integration, and he was still… at Nascent Soul.

So his junior sister became an indelible shadow in his mind. Then one day, some strange thing called the System appeared in his head. The System said that if he didn’t win over this "shadow," he would die.

With no other choice, this cultivation-obsessed man had to resort to seduction.

So one night, Su Liyue saw her pure and pristine senior brother enter her bedroom, his collar, usually fastened high, slipping below his collarbone.

Su Liyue’s gaze paused at his collarbone, then moved up to his face. "Senior Brother, you have eye gunk on your eyelashes."

Gu Xiujin: "…"

…That was mascara supplied by the System. He really appreciated it.

Blurb:

Qiao Wan transmigrated into an ABO novel as the male lead Jiang Yan’s "female Alpha" crush.

After realizing she was supposed to be stabbed to death by Bai Fengxue, a male Alpha who was jealous of her, she decided to keep her distance from Jiang Yan.

Who knew that in Jiang Yan’s eyes, as an Omega, her change in behavior would make her seem polite, gentle, self-controlled, and never out of control? She looked at him without a trace of lewd desire, nothing like all the other Alphas who were obsessed with his body. She seemed so pure and sincere.

So even after Qiao Wan rejected him, he couldn’t stop thinking about her.

As the story progressed, Jiang Yan and Bai Fengxue, a male Alpha, fell into a passionate and painful love. Whenever they argued, Jiang Yan would bring up Qiao Wan: "You only want my body. Qiao Wan’s different. Even if I stood naked in front of her, she’d only ask if I was cold!"

Qiao Wan: "???"

She’s a Beta! A real, bona fide Beta!

She doesn’t even have the equipment. What else can she do besides put a coat on you???

*

Qiao Wan never expected that staying chaste, keeping her desires in check, and focusing on her studies wouldn’t diminish her popularity at the academy. She even became an aloof, sought-after idol among the Omegas, as well as a celibate academic prodigy.

To stay alive a few years longer and avoid being stabbed to death by Jiang Yan’s deranged Alpha, Bai Fengxue, she had no choice but to announce that she was gay: "I like Alphas. It’s how I was born, and even herbal medicine can’t change it."

But right after she said that, her six-foot-two, eight-pack, cold and aloof roommate started looking at her strangely.

Then one day, her roommate pinned her in a corner, his expression complicated. "Do you have any of that herbal medicine you take? Could you mail me some?"

Qiao Wan: "???"
