[Even if my hands are stained with blood, when I reach for you, they remain spotless.
After weathering countless trials, I return unchanged in my original resolve. All I wish is to walk hand in hand with you and watch the clouds drift over the mountains and forests.]

"In all twelve stories, the ladies dress at dawn; from the Tower of Immortals, they gaze toward their sovereign. The golden beast-shaped lock hangs cold on its chain, while water drips from the bronze dragon and the long day wears on."
The years in the deep palace dragged on, long and cold. Standing atop a tower, I gazed into the distance. Kyoto's blazing candlelight wound beyond the city walls like a succession of blooming lotuses. The moon warmed my face and turned the tips of my hair white, yet my heart was cold.
Then came our first meeting beneath the maples. You picked up the scarlet branches I'd dropped all over the ground, then looked back at me with a smile. I knew then that I was doomed beyond redemption.

"Heh... I never imagined that Consort Shu, who always seemed to keep everyone at arm's length, would be like this. What a surprise..."
In the deep, ink-black night, Bai Muxuan's cool fingertip traced the other's neck, making the woman before her shiver as she lowered her eyes. "A beauty only His Majesty is allowed to touch is now within my reach. The feeling really gets my blood racing."
"I've never been a kind and innocent person." Shu Yao reclined against a golden silk bolster, expressionless as she casually smoothed her ink-black hair over her shoulders. She raised an eyebrow.
At that, Bai Muxuan gently stroked the beauty mark beneath Shu Yao's right eye, then smiled seductively and whispered in her ear:
"Good. Neither have I."

"Coming next: When Green Tea Meets the White Lotus [GL Quick Transmigration]. Please add it to your reading list~"

Yu Conghan accidentally fell into a void, and just as she stood there completely dumbfounded, she was suddenly bound to a Green Tea Supporting Character System.
"Beep! System 666 at your service. To extend your life, Host, you must convincingly play a green tea supporting character in each world. The higher your Green Tea Score, the greater your rewards."
After accepting the guide to playing a green tea supporting character from the System, Yu Conghan, well-versed in the ways of green tea, smiled and declared that such a trivial task was nothing to her.
This world? Transmigrate away! √
But after transmigrating, Yu Conghan discovered that the heroines in every world were delicate, adored white lotuses, fragile when they smiled and tearful as pear blossoms when they cried, making anyone who saw them feel for them. But there was no helping it: to stay alive, Yu Conghan had to grit her teeth and give it a go!
"Did she paint this? It's beautiful. Unlike me, I can't do anything, except take care of you and care about you."
"You're so gentle and wonderful. Your girlfriend must be so lucky. If it were me, I couldn't bear to let my partner work so hard."
"I think Sister Zhilan is a little too clingy. You need your own personal space, too."
"Can I still say good night to you? She won't get the wrong idea, will she?"
"She's actually a good person. She just misunderstood our relationship, so don't be so harsh with her."
After going through a series of activities with the heroine, including insincere praise, talent contests, and fighting over ice cream, Yu Conghan's Green Tea Score finally went through the roof. Even the System exclaimed that she was the most talented Host it had ever seen, spamming 666.
Just as Yu Conghan was congratulating herself, the white-lotus heroine came to see her. Before Yu Conghan could get out, "I only think of him as a big brother, don't get the wrong idea," the other woman leaned close.
"Didn't you want to try his ice cream earlier?"
Yu Conghan froze. Before she could say a word, the heroine, who usually seemed so soft and delicate, took a big bite of the ice cream in her hand, then leaned in and kissed the corner of Yu Conghan's mouth.
"Is it good?"
"..."
The white-lotus heroine smiled, while Yu Conghan, cream still sweet on the corner of her mouth, turned to stone on the spot.
"???"
What... why does it feel like the story is going more and more off the rails?
