Pride in the Depths

Content warnings:

The author's first book.

The setting includes beast slaves. Physical and emotional abuse, but no scum-and-doormat relationship. Please don't flame the author.

One-line synopsis:

In the end, she will cast aside all her pride for him.

Sweet synopsis (not really):

Gao Ningyu, daughter of General Fenghou, has been willful and overbearing since childhood. The rumors about her in the capital could build a tower from bare ground.

One day, she picked up a conveniently available cousin. She found fault with everything about him, beating him, scolding him, and abandoning him, always afraid that one day a whim might strike and she'd grant him a cup of poisoned wine to drink himself to death.

But this fellow was devious and cunning, a different face for every occasion. He repeatedly stirred up trouble right under her nose, and even shamelessly... coveted her?

Gao Ningyu was furious. At last, on a dark and windy night, she trampled the young man's sincere heart into pieces:

"Before anything else, you have to ask yourself if you're worthy."

"Are you?"

*

Who could have guessed what would happen two days later?

Tan Yunxiu settled his precious little wife on his lap and pecked her lightly. "Your Highness, do you think I'm worthy?"

The young woman shook her head like a rattle drum.

The young man pecked her again. "Hmm? If you don't answer, I'll just keep kissing you."

The young woman was on the verge of tears and clutched his collar. "You are, you are, you are!"

Whatever you say is right!

The short-tempered, unreasonable young lady VS the later-stage big shot who is elegant in public but obsessive as a rabid dog (villain arc loading)

1. The heroine is truly awful at first, while the hero's humility is an act.

2. Some parts may be frustrating to read.

3. The heroine has a rough time later on.

Coming next: I Lured the Crown Prince In to Kill Him:

Synopsis:

In her previous life, Ge Youyi had a miserable fate. She had the title of the Duke of Zhenguo's legitimate daughter, but was bedridden for years, a genuine sickly beauty.

On the night of the palace coup, a new emperor ascended the throne. At the command of the man who had once loved her, her entire family was sentenced to death, while she could only suffer a humiliating death in bed.

She never expected to return to the age of fifteen.

She also gained the ability to create dreams.

Ge Youyi decided to go all in. She would kill that bastard before he could ascend the throne.

She briskly wrote a few lines:

[On the twentieth day of the first month, snow falls thick and fast.

Crown Prince Wei Zhao is chased by a swarm of snakes and stumbles to the ground. A little black snake suddenly crawls out of the snow and bites off his... Beep!

The Crown Prince dies from blood loss.]

*

On the twentieth day of the first month, dawn broke in the east.

Wei Zhao woke in the middle of the night and saw a little black snake perched in a dangerous spot. When he moved, the little black snake moved too.

Wei Zhao: ?

Impotence. Danger.

After that, there were iron hammers weighing hundreds of pounds, enormous blades bursting out of the earth, and even a silver needle appearing at the bottom of his cup when he went to take a sip of water.

Wei Zhao was furious. Who exactly was trying to kill him?

Not long after, Ge Youyi's scheme was exposed, and she fled the capital in the middle of the night.

The tyrannical new emperor caught the little troublemaker who made his heart itch, lifted her around the waist, and pinned her against the table. "Hmm? Still trying to run?"

A shameless, mischievous, (pretend) sickly beauty VS a tyrannical, thoroughly black-hearted emperor

1. The heroine's death had nothing to do with the hero.

2. The last thing the hero touches in a dream will appear in reality.

3. The golden finger can only be used on the hero. It isn't all-powerful, and there will be a twist later.

4. Inspired by the ability to create dreams and the 40-meter-long giant cleaver meme.

Theme: Walk hand in hand, encouraging one another from the heart.
