The Heroine Got the Wrong Male Lead

Pre-release: Heart on Fire

[Blurb]

A Jiu transmigrated into a book as the female lead. She had planned to settle comfortably into the role and enjoy all the perks that came with being the heroine: the wealth and prestige of a noble family, natural talent and beauty, and all sorts of affection.

But before she had even met the male lead, the System warned her that a transmigrator destined to be cannon fodder wanted to defy fate and change her lot by pursuing the male lead!

How could she tolerate that?

A Jiu was fired up and determined to win back her male lead!

Knowing he loved music, she deliberately played the pipa every day at the house beside the courtyard where he lived.

Knowing he was about to take the palace examination, she went out of her way to gather books by great scholars and give them to him.

Knowing the cannon-fodder girl's skills in the kitchen were poor, she sent him delicious food every day.

At last, the male lead gazed at her with deep eyes and asked, "Miss, do you admire me this much?"

A Jiu glanced at the transmigrator, whose face had gone ashen, then feigned a love so deep she could no longer control herself. "More than that. I want to spend every morning and evening, every year, with Young Master Li, until our hair turns white."

At last, A Jiu waited for the man to bring betrothal gifts to her home. Her father was even more delighted than she was. "Jiu'er! You really are the lucky star of our Chai family!"

A Jiu wondered why her father's so happy when the male lead hadn't even passed the imperial examination yet.

"The Heir of Nanyang! He could write like the great scholars at eight, and went to the frontier to kill enemies at thirteen. Such an outstanding young man wants to marry my Jiu'er! Hahahaha..."

Wait, wait, wait! The Heir of Nanyang?! Wasn't the male lead supposed to be a poor scholar who'd become the top scorer?

What?! So she had been pursuing the wrong man all along!

"System, what's going on?!"

System: @#~!? The System is in a state of disrepair due to age... Awaiting engineer repair...

P.S. The heroine is bratty and coquettish.

#System, can I be reborn?#

#This trash System is unreliable#

Pre-release blurb for Heart on Fire

Jiang Su was born with a pair of alluring eyes, a graceful and enchanting figure, and a captivating voice. She was chosen as a candidate to be tested for the position of next head of the Shen family.

The next head of the Shen family, Shen Bozhou, was always proper and upright, with a cool, refined appearance.

When they first met, he smiled and asked her name.

She often flirted with him as instructed, but Shen Bozhou remained calmly indifferent.

Later, she followed instructions again and shared a bed with him. He still treated her with courtesy.

Jiang Su was won over. Shen Bozhou really was a gentleman among gentlemen, she thought.

As the next heir, he couldn't afford to make a mistake.

But when that bewitching, willowy woman clung to him, he knew it was a test, yet still found himself falling for her.

After Jiang Su left the Shen family, somehow, word of the test got out, and she became the center of everyone's gossip. One day, she suddenly received betrothal gifts from Shen Bozhou.

Shen Bozhou: After careful consideration, Miss Zhou's reputation was damaged because of me. I should take responsibility.

Jiang Su: ??? It wasn't that serious... (He'd turned away so many admirers for her that she'd had a much more peaceful life.)

After they became newlyweds...

Jiang Su was starting to feel overwhelmed. She couldn't help asking, "Back then... were you really as calm as still water?"

Shen Bozhou leaned closer, his breath mingling with hers. "What do you think?"

Jiang Su suddenly understood, but the next moment, her words were swallowed.

#I was too naive#

1. The male lead only pretends to be refined. A refined scoundrel.

2. Both are each other's first, happy ending.

Theme: Stay true to your original aspirations, and you'll reach the end.
