[Blurb] Gu Qichi has spent more than a decade disguised as a man, rarely getting a good night's sleep. Cold, bleak nightmares gnaw away at her day after day, leaving deep scars. Before long, a heart demon takes root, and her black hair grows thinner by the day. She realizes she can't go on like this. She absolutely cannot go bald. But after years of searching, there's no cure for her troubles. Her insomnia remains severe, and her hair keeps falling out. Until she meets him. Her miracle hair-growth tonic, delivered from heaven. * At first, Chi Jian thinks the newly appointed chief of the Eastern Depot is ruthless, sinister, and unnerving, but undeniably capable. Until later... "Commander Chi, where are you sleeping tonight?" "Time is short. Why don't we share a room? It'll make investigating easier." "By the way, Commander Chi, what kind of incense do you use? It smells wonderful." "Commander Chi..." Chi Jian: "???" Something's not right here. * At first, Gu Qichi treats Chi Jian as nothing more than a tool. She longs for a good night's sleep, for her hair to grow back, and for a brief escape from her damaged, ugly past. But later, her delusions grow, and she wants more and more. She begins to hate the thought of losing him. In a vast palace hall streaked with blood, she stands barefoot and wraps her arms around the man's neck. Their breaths are soft. Sweet fragrance mingles with the scent of blood, tinged with a hint of wickedness. "I'm asking you." She bites his burning earlobe. "Be mine forever." [Reader's Guide:] 1.

[Upcoming Work: Master] Duan Zhuo had only just joined Sanwen Sect when her master ascended amid heavenly thunder. Before leaving, he tossed her into a rare secret realm he'd collected, fulfilling his "duties as a master" in a rather different way. Time flowed differently in the secret realm and the outside world. Duan Zhuo struggled and fought her way through the realm for a hundred years, only to find that just ten years had passed outside. Duan Zhuo: I strove for a hundred years, yet I return still young. She had planned to take it easy and rest for a while, but as soon as she came out, she was appointed peak master of Wenxin Peak and handed an adopted disciple. The disciple was named Fu Yu. He was ten years old, male, and difficult to raise. Duan Zhuo tried to refuse, but to no avail. Taking the attitude, "I'll raise him for a while. Just don't let him die," she stumbled through the years of raising him. It didn't go smoothly. Sanwen Sect even published a pamphlet about the master and disciple of Wenxin Peak, often writing: "Ever since Young Immortal Duan took in a disciple, Peak XX has been in chaos and never at peace." "Blood stains every maple leaf on Peak XX. Not one is red enough." Duan Zhuo doesn't care about the rumors, nor is she bothered by the sect leader's reluctance to discuss her disciple's origins. She just never expected the disciple the sect had sent her to be more than a handful: he was a blade made specifically to kill her. * By then, Duan Zhuo had become a traitor whom everyone in the immortal sects wanted dead, while Fu Yu had long since left the sect and become the new Demon Lord. The relationship between the immortals and demons was still cordial, so the immortal sects decided to target Fu Yu. Everyone knew the master and disciple had been at odds for years, and that they had a blood feud. Their relationship had long since become dangerously tense. It would be a blessing if Fu Yu could help the immortal sects eliminate Duan Zhuo. But what everyone knew was not what everyone understood. Whether in the pavilion on Peak XX in Sanwen Sect, or in a lakeside tower at the heart of the Demon Realm, Fu Yu would often kneel with both knees on the ground, carefully clutching the trailing sleeve of that person's robe and calling out in a trembling voice: "Master... please." [Upcoming Work: My Mecha and I Got a Happy Ending] Because of a congenital defect, Xing Liu is forbidden from getting near mechas. At last, when she turns sixteen, the Federation relents. But no reputable military academy will accept her, so she has no choice but to study mecha engineering at a ramshackle military school on a distant backwater planet. In the Federation, it's no oddity for a mecha to possess self-awareness. After a high-level mecha has been bound to its pilot for a long time and fought alongside them, it may awaken to consciousness and work better with its pilot. Because she did terribly on the entrance exam, Xing Liu starts school with only a broken-down, low-level mecha. But one day, the mecha suddenly starts talking. Xing Liu is overjoyed and names him Ji Batian. * The ramshackle military school scrapes together a team for the military academy tournament. The elite students from other schools laugh at them: "They actually sent mecha engineering students to fight!" But in the matches that follow, the mecha engineering student pilots an unranked, slapdash mecha and wipes out the competition. Xing Liu: "Fight?" Ji Batian: "...Fight." * The advanced AIs of Zhi Star are a species favored by the Mother of Consciousness. They possess the pinnacle of intelligence and combat prowess in the universe, and over the course of thousands of years, they've made their planet one of the most powerful in the interstellar world. Their planet is peaceful and harmonious, but one day, the Marshal of Zhi Star runs away from home. He leaves behind a plain little note: Gone to find a wife. Don't miss me. * After Ji Batian disappears, Xing Liu spends countless nights holding his huge, cold mecha body and whispering to herself. "You never even hugged me." Until A man like a god gently wipes away her tears, then wraps her in his warm embrace. "I'm sorry I'm late." "Give me a hug." #An emotionally stunted human girl x an emotionally expressive AI# Theme: Keep moving forward bravely. You'll see the light eventually.
