Carry This Little Contrarian Away!

☆ Chi Xu: A breakup-and-reconciliation saga? I'm diving in! (I poured my heart and soul into revising the blurb to fit the main character's point of view!!!)

An alternate universe where same-sex marriage is legal. You could call it a bittersweet tale of mutual, open love?

[Couple] A cold-on-the-outside, soft-on-the-inside top actress X a domineering, sharp-tongued little contrarian

Waiting around between takes is part of an actor's everyday life, but Chi Xu has been waiting for this particular scene for far, far too long...

A face-slapping scene three years in the making, and Chi Xu, who's due for a beating, can only grit her teeth and swallow her pride!

Three years ago

Ke Yang, an unapologetic, doting wife who picks fights with the whole world, including the best actor, snaps, "Kan Siwen is a piece of trash. Don't let his refined, gentlemanly exterior fool you!"

Chi Xu gives her an annoyed look that says, I'm trying to work, so stop making a fuss. "You're overthinking it... We're just acting partners."

Three years later

Chi Xu wears a wounded expression that says, I know you're working, but I'm going to make a fuss anyway. "Lai Ning is such a little bitch. Don't let her cute, sweet exterior fool you~~~"

Ke Yang, the band's devoutly Buddhist drummer who dotes on her fans and bandmates but not on Chi Xu, says, "You're overthinking it... We're just bandmates."

Ke Yang turns around and twists the knife again. "Wait, why am I even explaining this to you?"

Chi Xu howls internally: After all that, you're still mine!

Chi Xu: I want to have it both ways. She's indulged and spoiled me my whole life, but I hated how she kept me in line. Now I miss how possessive she was... Even if the affection we shared when we were young couldn't last, I'll never let go of the love we started with.

I want to switch things up and write a xianxia story. Hope you'll give it a chance!

Who Says Their Ancestor Is a Lazy Glutton?

Couple: A lazy, gluttonous ancestor who'd rather lie down than sit up X a diligent, rigid disciple who'd rather cultivate than slack off

In the Ninth Heaven, among jade palaces and heavenly towers.

Suddenly, someone cries out, "Report! Immortal Lord, something terrible has happened!!!"

The Immortal Lord Yun Que, her face flushed from sleep, asks, "Why are you making such a fuss?"

"The immortal stipend in our residence has been completely spent. There's not a single grain left..."

Yun Que flies into a rage. "Which glutton ate it all?!"

The little immortal official nervously stammers, "It was you!"

Life without food is truly unbearable. Yun Que has no choice but to come out of retirement and recruit a talented disciple from among her ninety-eighth-generation descendants to enter a competition. The winner will receive a generous prize.

Among a line of disciples, tall and short, fat and thin, Yun Que casually points at one and gives the little immortal official a meaningful look.

"This is Immortal Liu Xian. Did you pick her because you saw that she has extraordinary bones and outstanding spiritual roots?"

"I picked her because she's pretty, and would make a good bed warmer for me."

Liu Xian has never met anyone so shameless in her life, but that scoundrel is the venerable ancestor of their sect, with ten thousand years of cultivation. Infuriating!!!
