After the Dark Moonlight Beauty Became Famous on a Dating Show

My new novel, "Reborn as the Frail Dao Companion of the Heartless Sword Venerable," is now available!

Here is this novel's blurb.

Everyone who once looked down on him ends up eating their words.

When Ye Zhen debuted, his cool, pure, and limpid face, as clear and serene as a white moonlight, won over countless fans who admired his looks.

The Qing Zhen pairing with his groupmate Qin Yan had fans shipping them like crazy.

But before long, several brainless remarks in public turned Ye Zhen from white moonlight into black moonlight.

Insults like "educational black hole," "liar," "airheaded beauty," and "creative wasteland" exploded overnight, each with a specific incident to back it up.

Ye Zhen never responded to any of it. In public, he remained a gentle, noble soul, as radiant as the wind and moon.

But Qin Yan knew that many of those scandals were true.

After spending two years together, even Qin Yan had been fooled. Ye Zhen was a scheming black moonlight through and through.

From then on, Qin Yan kept his distance from Ye Zhen, and the Qing Zhen pairing gradually lost its popularity.

·

Until the company arranged for the two of them to appear on a dating reality show, making it one of the conditions for their contract termination.

Qin Yan gritted his teeth and went on.

For the first two episodes, the two got along without incident, and everything went smoothly according to the company's script.

During the filming of the third episode, one night, the usually disciplined Ye Zhen accidentally drank a glass of very strong mixed liquor and got drunk.

His eyes reddened at the corners, and a look of disdain appeared on his gentle, cool face. He grabbed Qin Yan's sleeve and said, "You're so annoying."

Qin Yan: ?

Ye Zhen continued to complain. "I was the one who wanted the red-rose persona first, but you stole it from me. I pretend to be an idiot every day to take the blame for you, and you still act like you deserve everything you get."

Qin Yan: Now this is interesting.

Then Ye Zhen reached out with a wounded look, his slender, pale fingertip pointing at the small mole by his reddened eye. "I don't like this mole either. It's so tragic-looking and ugly. The company made me get it tattooed for the persona. That's your fault, too."

Qin Yan's lips curled without him realizing it. He had never seen Ye Zhen like this. He seemed kind of cute?

Finally, Ye Zhen said, "I'm younger than you, but I'm always the one taking care of you. Why?"

Looking at Ye Zhen's beautiful, confused peach-blossom eyes, clouded by drink, Qin Yan smiled. "Fine. From now on, I'll take your place."

·

Qin Yan kept his word and really did use the company to get Ye Zhen a chance to show what he could do.

He also wanted to see whether the things Ye Zhen had said were true.

Three days later, not only the fans and the other guests, but even Qin Yan, who knew some of the truth, was stunned by Ye Zhen's performance.

Piano, max level. Equestrianism, max level. Education, max level. Creativity, max level.

The rumors branding him a "high school dropout," a "shallow, pretentious white lotus," a "creative wasteland," and a "liar" crumbled on their own.

Ye Zhen only had to stand there and raise his head for a bold, bright light to shine in those narrow peach-blossom eyes.

Fans howled as one, frantically apologizing while showering him with praise in the livestream. The haters who had once attacked Ye Zhen vanished without a trace.

Fans of all the other guests began pairing Ye Zhen with their own idols, and undercurrents swirled throughout the show.

The guests went all out to win the right to go on a date with Ye Zhen.

·

In the end, Qin Yan couldn't hold back any longer and cornered Ye Zhen backstage.

"How much have you been hiding from us? Why did you do it?"

Ye Zhen pouted. "Wasn't it because the company gives me a bigger cut for playing the vase-like white moonlight? Being a genius is exhausting, too."

Qin Yan was speechless.

After a long pause, he brushed his fingertip over the tear mole beneath Ye Zhen's eye, gazing at those vivid, tempting lips as the corner of his own mouth lifted. "Actually, I know a way to earn even more, with an even bigger cut. Want to try it?"

Ye Zhen: "What?"

Qin Yan leaned closer. "Let's make the Qing Zhen pairing real."

Ye Zhen looked innocent. "But I've already received two love letters. What should I do?"

Qin Yan said fiercely, "Give them back!"

New novel: "Reborn as the Frail Dao Companion of the Heartless Sword Venerable"

I ran off pregnant after seducing him.

Su Yunqing transmigrated into a harem novel about a domineering immortal cultivator and became the beautiful, frail dao companion of the Sword Venerable, the male lead.

Su Yunqing looked at his exquisite, gorgeous face in the mirror. "I'm the white moonlight, right?"

System: "No, you're not. You secretly married in place of your brother, took a pregnancy pill, and tried several times to seduce the male lead and break his heartless Dao. The fact that the male lead didn't let you die for real a long time ago is already pretty good."

Su Yunqing: ?

System: "But as long as you behave and don't cause trouble, you can live until the male lead ascends with his lovers, then enjoy a comfortable retirement."

Su Yunqing: "Then I'd better try to save myself."

.

By day, Su Yunqing cooked for the Sword Venerable and took good care of him, all gentle and charming. He spread kindness everywhere and built his image as a tender white moonlight, earning praise from everyone as the best dao companion in the cultivation world.

At night, Su Yunqing hid under the covers and practiced with the various manuals he'd exchanged for the Sword Venerable's favor, laying the groundwork for his escape.

At last, one day, Su Yunqing choked on his own qi while cultivating, coughed up blood, and fainted.

When he woke, he was lying in the Sword Venerable's arms. "Your health is poor. Why did you cultivate without permission?"

Su Yunqing's heart skipped a beat. He immediately reached up to touch the Sword Venerable's cheek and said with deep affection, "Husband, I only wanted to reach the Nascent Soul stage soon and cure my poor health. I don't want to hold you back."

The Sword Venerable fell silent for a moment, then said coolly, "If that's the case, there's another, better way."

Su Yunqing: "Please tell me, husband."

The Sword Venerable lowered his head and kissed the soft, red lips he had long coveted.

As Su Yunqing stared in utter shock, he said coolly, "Dual cultivation."

…

Three days later

Su Yunqing: "System, the male lead's heartless Dao is broken. Should I switch worlds for my next mission?"

System, sniffling: "Don't! What am I supposed to do if you leave? Help me one more time and get the plot back on track!"

Su Yunqing sighed and reluctantly agreed. "All right."

…

After that, Su Yunqing's cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds through dual cultivation with the Sword Venerable, and his health gradually improved.

Half a year later, fully recovered and carrying a baby, Su Yunqing secretly left a divorce letter for the Sword Venerable and ran away.

The Sword Venerable was furious.

But he had no idea that, with the System's guidance, Su Yunqing had already prepared a way out. In the Sword Venerable's name, he had sent love letters to all the Sword Venerable's lovers from the original novel. He was just waiting for the original plot to close its loop so he could retire in peace.

Until all the lovers showed up at the same time as the Sword Venerable.

The lovers: "Beautiful one, want to go out with us?"

System: "What's going on?"

Su Yunqing's eyes curved into a smile. "Ah... I think I put the wrong name at the bottom of the love letters."

System: ???

Half a month later, after driving off all the lovers, the Sword Venerable pinned Su Yunqing against a wall.

"Am I not good enough? You actually fell for someone else?"

Su Yunqing: "Husband, please let me explain..."

System: Beep. The protagonist's harem plot has collapsed. The protagonist's corruption route has begun. System forcibly logging out!

Hearing the words "forcibly logging out," Su Yunqing's eyes curved slightly. He rose on tiptoe, took the initiative to kiss the Sword Venerable's pale lips, and said gently, "Husband, I was wrong. You have always been the one I like most. I was just afraid you'd fall for someone else."

The Sword Venerable slowly tightened his grip around Su Yunqing's slender waist.

"Don't do it again. Otherwise, even if you run to the ends of the earth, I'll find you and bring you back."

Su Yunqing suddenly smiled and said softly, "All right."

From the Sword Venerable's perspective

In the Sword Venerable's eyes, Su Yunqing was a beautiful white fox full of secrets.

He openly professed his love, made pastries, wove tassels for swords, and even took a sword strike for him.

But he would also smile at others and say, "If you're better than the Sword Venerable, I'll choose you."

All false affection, not a single honest word.

But what did the fox want? The Sword Venerable didn't understand.

So he captured the fox.

As it turned out, the fox wasn't angry at all. Not only did he kiss him, he even gently pointed at the bed and said, "This bed isn't soft enough. Could you get a softer one?"

What else could the Sword Venerable do? Of course, he could only oblige.
