[This is the blurb for my new story. The blurb for this story is at the very bottom.]

Ying Qiong inherited her master's mantle and took up trash collecting in the Celestial Court.

She found a bald chicken and was about to roast it when she was told it was actually a rare divine phoenix.

Everyone thought Ying Qiong had struck it lucky, and looked at her enviously.

Only Ying Qiong herself was down in the dumps.

Not only had she lost a roast chicken, she now had to spend money buying food for that bald phoenix.

"They say phoenixes eat only the seeds of the empress tree and drink only from sweet springs. You're too expensive to keep. Go find another owner!" Ying Qiong said, tossing the phoenix back into the garbage heap.

The phoenix flew into a rage and burned every trash can across the Four Seas and Eight Wastelands.

As its temporary owner, Ying Qiong was forced to tame it.

From then on, the precious divine phoenix traveled from one garbage heap to another, filthy and disheveled, its former nobility gone.

Later, Ying Qiong spotted a child in a garbage heap.

Thinking she could raise him to be her successor, Ying Qiong brought him home.

But the child refused to collect trash and demanded all sorts of things. He was even harder to raise than the phoenix.

Ying Qiong couldn't take it anymore, so she waited until the child fell asleep and tossed him back into the garbage heap.

A few days later, Chen Hui, the renowned God of War from the Three Realms, came to Ying Qiong's ramshackle little house.

"Throw me in the garbage heap again, and I'll kill you."

After a string of incidents involving a ten-thousand-year-old cultivation base, a phoenix, and the God of War, everyone in the Three Realms treated the legendary scavenger with the utmost respect.

Ying Qiong said: There's no need, really, there's no need. I'm just an ordinary genius at picking up trash!

The trash she'd picked up: Who are you calling trash?

Blurb for The Heir Apparent Is a Bewitching Beauty

Shu Qian, a weak woman with formidable martial prowess, strength enough to lift a cauldron, and an appetite of three bowls per meal.

Gu Xueyin, a real man who's graceful and delicate, frail as a willow in the wind, and out of breath after every few steps.

After they each discovered the other's secret identity

Gu Xueyin rubbed her forehead as usual: Shu Qian, as a girl, can't you be a little less rough and impulsive?

Shu Qian picked up a new catchphrase: Damn it, Gu Xueyin, why are you such a girly man?
