--- Novel blurb ---

Sang Qi had spent a hundred years thinking of Nan Yuan. Not thinking of him fondly, but thinking of killing him.

Back then, she had watched with her own eyes as her mother fell in a pool of blood. Standing beside her mother was a graceful man.

He held a sword, and blood dripped from its blade.

Sang Qi: I'll kill you!

Later, she learned that he was Nan Yuan, the illustrious Emperor of the Nan residence, a lofty figure revered by thousands. She was merely a wonton vendor in the Heavenly Court, albeit one with a thriving business.

A man dressed in white fell into her inn. His exquisite features left her unable to resist him.

And so, with one twitch of her hand,

the mighty Emperor, feared throughout the land, became a fool known to everyone!

Later, she took the fool, whose eyes were filled with nothing but her,

and went in search of the murderer who had killed her mother...

and helped Chi You return to the Chi River...

and searched Qingqiu for a cure for his allergies...

and defeated the wicked villain...

Together, they traveled ten thousand miles across mountains and rivers, and ate their way across the land.

The blurb for The Beautiful, Strong, and Tragic Boy Rescue Plan:

Yu Miaomiao finds herself inside a female-led cultivation novel.

Good news: She's not a wicked supporting heroine.

Bad news: She's a talentless junior disciple, destined to die heroically for the protagonist's group.

Miaomiao: ...

She isn't the only one with a tragic fate. The novel's ill-fated villain boy, Mu Yunsheng, is said to be ruthless and cursed, a lone star of misfortune. Everyone believes that getting close to him can only end badly.

Miaomiao is the only one who disagrees.

In the most wretched alley of the boy's life, he clutches the girl's splendid dress. His lifeless black eyes slowly brighten. He tilts his head back to gaze at her, and her radiant, lovely face is reflected in his eyes.

She sees the gloomy boy, his head bloodied, lying in the mud and being trampled by others, yet still refusing to give in. Unable to help herself, she feels sorry for him.

After a moment's hesitation, she reaches out her hand and asks with complete seriousness, "Do you believe in the light?"

Mu Yunsheng: "...I do."

Mu Yunsheng was born under an ill omen. His birth father and stepmother hated and abandoned him. His fellow disciples and relatives despised and feared him. Whenever a choice had to be made, he was always the one left behind.

Only one person reached out to him when he was covered in grime and had fallen into the mire. She chose him, unwaveringly and gently, then said, "Get up."

Mu Yunsheng's world had been dark and hopeless. Then Yu Miaomiao appeared, and light began to shine in it.

And the girl who guarded the light for others eventually embraced that light herself.
