Ongoing yuri novel: After I Gave Up, the Black Lotus Wouldn't Stop Loving Me, and a historical yuri novel on my want-to-write list: First Married, Then Fell in Love with the Princess. Please add them to your collection if you're interested. Thanks!

Luo Xiuxiu is clever, decisive, and quick to adapt. She's achieved success in her career at a young age.

Yu Qing is gentle, independent, accomplished inside and out, and as cool and resilient as a winter honeysuckle.

They can't stand each other.

They spend nearly half their lives as romantic rivals.

In the end, they die together after tearing at each other's hair.

As she dies, Luo Xiuxiu finally understands.

She's rich, powerful, and beautiful. Why waste her life on a faithless scumbag?

-

Luo Xiuxiu opens her eyes and is reborn.

At this point, her rival Yu Qing is her subordinate. The two clash at every turn, and their working styles don't mesh at all.

Mindful of what happened in her past life, Luo Xiuxiu calls Yu Qing into her office.

Luo Xiuxiu: "Your career matters more than dating..."

Yu Qing: "Boss, I love working overtime. I don't mind sleeping at the office or staying through holidays without triple pay, so can I get a raise?"

Luo Xiuxiu: "...What?"

Is this really the lovesick woman who fought over a man with her in her past life?

Even a model corporate wage slave isn't this dedicated!

Luo Xiuxiu notices that Yu Qing has changed a lot.

She no longer picks fights with Luo Xiuxiu, and her attitude toward her has done a complete 180.

Worried Yu Qing is plotting something big behind her back, Luo Xiuxiu keeps her secret identity under wraps, afraid of causing a misunderstanding.

One night, they work late and spend the night in the office together.

Luo Xiuxiu tries her best to keep a safe distance from Yu Qing.

Yu Qing glances at her. "Boss, you weren't this timid in your past life."

Luo Xiuxiu: "...Well, I'll be."

You're reborn too. Why didn't you say so sooner!

Ongoing novel: Fail the Mission and Die

Blurb, from Zhang Ruonan's perspective:

When Zhang Ruonan first met Tian Tian, her impression was: This girl is kind of dumb. I can't tell if she's really stupid or just good at acting.

After the mission failed, she suddenly understood: So she really was good at acting. She even fooled me.

In a fit of anger, she attacked an NPC named Tian Tian in the next world.

That was how she revealed her true nature to Tian Tian.

She thought Tian Tian would avoid her, but instead, Tian Tian clung to her even more and even saved her life.

Zhang Ruonan didn't believe anyone could love her, but after meeting Tian Tian, she began to believe.

Tian Tian's perspective:

When Tian Tian first met Zhang Ruonan, she was dazzled by her face. How could anyone be so beautiful?

The next time she met Zhang Ruonan, the only words she could think of were "beautiful but deadly."

She wanted to fall out with Zhang Ruonan, but couldn't bring herself to do it. She thought Zhang Ruonan couldn't have been born so cruel.

Again and again, she gave Zhang Ruonan another chance, and again and again, she was disappointed.

After being punished by the System, she finally turned dark and found the resolve to go after Zhang Ruonan.

But Zhang Ruonan seemed like a different person. She actively snuggled up to Tian Tian, never hitting back or talking back, and was even willing to risk her life for her.

Could Zhang Ruonan really mean it when she said she loved her? Had she really succeeded in winning over that black lotus?

Reading Guide:

1. A devoted one-on-one couple who are both sexually inexperienced, and take turns in the dominant role. Tian Tian is somewhat timid at first, but she'll turn dark later. I promise it will end HE.

Historical yuri novel on my want-to-write list: First Married, Then Fell in Love with the Princess

Blurb:

Wen Chenxu hid her identity as a woman from childhood and fought on the battlefield, earning countless military honors. She is the young general everyone in the dynasty admires.

She had already resigned herself to spending her life alone, but unexpectedly, the emperor rewarded her by arranging her marriage to his least-favored princess.

Rumor has it the princess is beautiful, gentle, and well-read, without a trace of royal airs.

Everyone at court envies Wen Chenxu. If a princess marries down into a subject's family, that family's ancestors must be smiling from the grave.

But Wen Chenxu can't bring herself to celebrate. If the princess marries into her household, won't her identity as a woman be exposed? That would be treason, a crime punishable by exterminating her entire clan!

She cannot defy the imperial command, and she must protect the princess, so Wen Chenxu accepts the decree and marries her.

After the wedding, she keeps to the rules every day, fulfills her duty as a subject, and maintains her distance so she won't offend the princess.

The princess sleeps in the bed, while she sleeps on the floor. "There is a difference between ruler and subject. How can I sleep beside you?"

I must not let her realize I'm a woman.

The princess rides in a sedan chair, while she rides a horse. "Your Highness is precious. We must not violate the rules of rank."

That way, we can avoid getting intimate.

Half a year later, rumors spread through the capital that the young general is impotent. Otherwise, how could they have no children after six months?

The rumor reaches the emperor, who flies into a rage, convinced Wen Chenxu is defying the royal family.

To save her husband, the princess has no choice but to deceive the emperor. "Father, you mustn't kill my husband. The rumors in the capital aren't true. She and I are expecting a child!"

Wen Chenxu: "..."

Has she been cheating on me?

The princess takes her bewildered wife home, blushing as she says, "Husband, to save your life, we need to hurry up and make a baby~"

Wen Chenxu realizes she can't keep hiding the truth from the princess. "Your Highness, I'm actually a woman. I'm sorry I deceived you. If you want a divorce, I'll write the papers now."

The princess snatches away the divorce papers after Wen Chenxu has written just two characters and tears them to shreds on the spot. "You're a woman? Even better~ If you want a divorce, you'll have to wait until your next life~"
