Those Years of Wits and Wiles Against Romance Heroines (System)

New novel, The Rebel Princess Transmigrates to Another World, now available!

When Qin Mu, gravely wounded and unconscious, opened his eyes again, a beautiful woman in strange clothing looked down at him and said:

"I saved you."

His wound had indeed been treated, but his clothes and equipment had all been stripped off and placed to one side. Only a cloak covered him.

He struggled to rise and thank her, but his weakened body gave out and he fell again.

The woman narrowed her phoenix eyes and spoke in a cool voice, disapprovingly: "You're badly hurt. Don't move around."

Qin Mu lay half-sprawled on the ground, completely spent, coughing softly. But under cover of the cloak, his hand crept toward his gun holster and clicked off the safety.

When he looked up again, the woman yanked the cloak away and pressed a blade to his heart.

"I told you not to move."

That was how they first met, witnessed by endless ruins of a city, a sky full of stars, and the approaching cosmic storm.

Later -

When Qin Mu looked back, he admitted that he'd fallen for her at first sight. Even holding a blade to his throat, the princess was breathtakingly beautiful.

Because they were in the apocalypse, he couldn't help suspecting that everything was a trap set by mutated monsters. So at first, he was constantly hostile toward her and put her to the test.

Wei Chujiu hesitated for a moment. To spare his feelings, she ultimately didn't tell him that it hadn't been a threat.

At the suburban ancestral rites ceremony, just before her planned coup, she had been forced to transmigrate to another world. Years of planning had gone to waste, and at that moment, she had genuinely wanted to kill him.

● A one-on-one romance, probably a story about a rebel princess who transmigrates and the loyal dog she picks up, as they save each other in the apocalypse.

Please add my upcoming novel, Thorny Rose [Western Fantasy], to your reading list.

[Gathering of the Stars]

At her birth, the astrolabe quaked, and the radiance of the twelve houses eclipsed the moonlight.

The stars gathered and shone upon her.

[Rose of the Royal City]

The most flawless flower was to be offered to the Goddess of Nature after the festival. But on the eve of the celebration, the princess plucked a rose from the flowerbed and used it to make a bottle of hair dye. The youngest alchemist in history was then praised throughout the kingdom.

At the banquet, the princess's curled red locks were hailed as the most beautiful roses in the royal city.

[Laurel of Afeina]

A noble young woman cast off her jewels and finery and enrolled at Afeina Academy, famed for its rigorous and austere training, to study magic. She was one of the finest students of her century.

She was also the undisputed top student of the academy, winning the laurels year after year.

[Grand Duchess of Serotis]

The kingdom's sole surviving heir ordered the royal city guards to lay down their arms and surrender. She tore down the royal crest with her own hands and presented the enemy army with the Thorned Scepter.

Rumor had it she would be made a lord by the Promi Empire. Those fond of mockery called her the Grand Duchess of Serotis, meaning "traitor."

[Heretical Witch]

The magical theories of a former princess, now a renowned scholar, were distorted and attacked by extremists. Her experiments were also accused of being witchcraft meant to sway people's hearts.

They said the heretical witch must face the judgment of the light.

[Fallen Morning Star]

Posterity would say her death marked the end of the age of natural magic and ushered in the beginning of the Dark Age.

She was the last morning star, yet tragically, she fell.

These are the names recorded in history for Aiteria Xi De La.

But no one knew that she had also left behind a fascinating mark in the history of the Vanoidos Empire, across the bay:

[The Eternal Lover of the Old Palace] The King of Idos never married or had children in his entire life. The only one who stayed by his side was the nameless lover he kept hidden in Nelu Old Palace, where he had lived as a child.

When fifteen-year-old Aiteria awoke from a nightmare, her kingdom was still powerful, her family and teachers were healthy, and her companions remained steadfastly by her side.

And the future King of Vanoidos, the tyrant who would wage war after war, Elexiu Pasno, who would hide her corpse in the old palace and tirelessly try to bring her back to life, was still just a fallen prince living in exile.

But those dark golden eyes were exactly the same as in her dream. His love burned like a raging fire, never going out, even in death.

● A one-on-one romance, with both leads reborn.

Novel blurb:

Daily Hot Topics at the Space-Time Administration V:

Shocking! A famous author is mired in a plagiarism scandal, and all the derivative worlds from her novels are in peril. Every heroine has transmigrated to the same world, which is currently being managed by a newcomer.

1.

After transmigrating, Ning Yan is neither the heroine nor the villainess, yet she's been given the responsibility of maintaining world peace.

Ning Yan doesn't mind. She has a healthy body, an extraordinary family background, and more pocket money than she can spend. That's enough for her.

System: Host, you have a mission too!

Ning Yan: The mission's all grown up. It can complete itself.

The System gradually realizes that even though Ning Yan faces the hardest beginner mission in history, with the most unusual targets, she always seems to have her own unique way of solving problems.

2.

Thanks to his extraordinary hearing, Lin Xiujun has learned the truth about the world:

For instance, that they are actually living in a book, that Cousin Yan has a being called the System by her side, and that Cousin Yan and all the many women close to her come from a world beyond this one...

The thing he finds hardest to accept, and yet has no choice but to accept, is that Cousin Yan will leave, and he is nothing more than a fleeting passerby in her life.

I beg you, as you journey onward, to pause and look back. Even just once, please see my humble, unspoken feelings.

Theme: Don't let the clouds obscure your view, for you stand at the highest peak.
