All My Scheming Is Just Me Showing You Love (Transmigrate Into a Book)

My upcoming yuri novel, The Moon Tide Won't Fade, is fresh out of the oven! And, timidly asking for another romance pre-save: On the Supreme Cultivation of a Cannon Fodder~

Jiang Youshu fell in love with someone made of words. Unfortunately, this person gave all her sincere feelings and wholehearted devotion to the female lead, who treated her as nothing but a tool. Just as Jiang Youshu was railing, "Why doesn't the second female lead deserve love?" the heavens sent her flying straight to the Buddha... her beloved's side.

Jiang Youshu transmigrated, and became one of the most famous little princesses of the nightlife scene among Liangcheng's wealthy elite.

Fine, whatever. Her identity didn't matter. The important thing was to stop her beloved from meeting the female lead by every means possible, and to wreck their completely illogical romance!

So Jiang Youshu resolved to steal the female lead's love interest. She expected it to be an incredibly difficult road, but as she went along, her beloved handed her a shortcut to victory?

Yan Anzhen: Why do you keep looking at her, the original female lead?

Jiang Youshu: I have to make sure she doesn't come after you and use you.

Yan Anzhen: Why are you living with her?

Jiang Youshu: To spy on the enemy. Knowing yourself and your enemy is the only way to win every battle.

Yan Anzhen: If you like her, why flirt with me? Now that I can't live without you, what are you going to do about it?

Jiang Youshu: You can tell I like you, so why don't you just give in to me... Wait, what???

Only then did Jiang Youshu realize that the beloved she had been pursuing so desperately had said something extraordinary, apparently out of jealousy.

Reading guide:

* The original female lead never liked Yan Anzhen. She only ever considered her a friend or a useful tool.

* Sweet and seductive kitten Jiang Youshu × meticulous, celibate (?) tool Yan Anzhen

Upcoming yuri novel: The Moon Tide Won't Fade

1.

On the Four Scenery Continent, a chasm separates the great demons from the commoners.

Chun Yan has an exceptionally beautiful face, but was born into a lowly station. With no way to protect herself, she fears her fate will be as tragic as a withered flower.

So she enters the Qi household, intending to win the head of the Qi family's heart and secure her future. But there she sees Miss Li, whose esteemed status in the Qi household makes everyone envy her. Miss Li's gaze rests on Chun Yan for just a moment.

From then on, Miss Li holds Chun Yan's heart in her hands, with her life at her mercy.

2.

They say that Chun Yan, the frail Miss Li Yueshen's little maid, died in the Battle of Mount Chu.

No one said it was a pity. Only Li Yueshen kept a lamp lit for her, afraid she wouldn't be able to find her way home.

Four years later, Chun Yan returns to her homeland amid a chorus of "Lord Chun." The shackles that once bound her because of her weakness have finally been broken.

The first thing she does is lock the moon she has long yearned for in her arms. Tracing Miss Li's lips, she says, "The more unattainable something is, the more I want to taste it."

The once kind and humble maid is gone.

3.

Li Yueshen is stabbed to death by the head of the Qi family. When she opens her eyes again, she has returned to seven months before the Battle of Mount Chu.

She thinks of "Lord Chun," whose every word is seductive and teasing, and decides there's still time to make things right.

She will teach Chun Yan to wield a blade herself, so Chun Yan can turn its point on anyone who tries to hurt her.

Li Yueshen thinks that if she can prevent Chun Yan from being abandoned at Mount Chu, Chun Yan's gaze will remain as clear as it once was.

But she doesn't know that Chun Yan's madness, cruelty, and viciousness have long been buried in her soul. The Battle of Mount Chu wasn't what set them off.

She was.

Reading guide:

* Li Yueshen (shen)

* Frail, cool, and aristocratic bottom × sweet-on-the-outside, crazy-beautiful top. The top really is crazy and holds herself to a double standard. She's not a good person, so don't read if that's a dealbreaker. No need to tell me if you drop it, thanks~

* The romance is bittersweet, satisfying, sweet, and compelling. It's exactly the kind the author likes.

* Otherworldly continent, demon-clan setting, and various made-up details for your amusement. Please don't overanalyze, and no rankings, please.

And, timidly asking for another romance pre-save: On the Supreme Cultivation of a Cannon Fodder

Ting Xu transmigrates into a third-rate male-lead harem cultivation novel, becoming a minor cannon-fodder character who loves without being loved and ultimately dies a miserable death.

The original owner fell in love with the male lead at first sight and insisted on marrying him. The sect master, who doted on her daughter, used benefits to pressure the male lead into marrying her.

As a result of being forced into the marriage, the male lead not only cured the strange poison in his body, but also obtained countless rare treasures from the sect. After the sect master died, he even took over the sect and built it into his own power base.

As for the original owner, he treated her with contempt and coldness, finding her irritating and repulsive. When she was trapped in a desperate predicament, he simply swept off his sleeve and left, causing her to die at the hands of the demon clan.

Ting Xu: Ugh, what a stupid plot.

The System in her mind coldly informs her: "Please maintain your character, Host. If you act out of character, you will be punished by Heaven."

Ting Xu: Okay, fine (smile.jpg)

It's just acting one way to someone's face and another behind their back. Anyone can do that.

-

On the day they marry, the male lead, Gu Qiao, hates her touch. He gets himself drunk, then wakes up from the cold to find himself lying in the snow in nothing but a thin inner robe.

His wife, Ting Xu, opens the door and sees him, tears glimmering in her eyes. "It's my fault. Even if you didn't want to share a room with me and insisted on sleeping in the courtyard, I should have let you stay inside and slept in the courtyard myself."

Gu Qiao, nearly frozen stupid, stares at her in confusion. "Did I decide to lie here?"

Ting Xu nods firmly. "You wouldn't let me stop you!"

-

Later, Ting Xu fakes her death and lives freely under another identity, roaming the world.

But she never expected that even after she was dead, rumors would spread that Gu Qiao had gone mad searching for her in the demon clan's lair, and slaughtered the entire place when he couldn't find her. Clearly, he had loved her deeply.

Ting Xu: Bah, that scumbag is putting on an act, using a dead person to make himself look devoted.

Later, she hears another rumor: the blind little follower she picked up is actually a big shot among the demon clan. Not only has he regained his sight, he's also stabbed the male lead straight through, demanding his life in exchange.

Everyone is curious: What could Ting Xu possibly have done to make the greatest sword cultivator and the demon clan's lord fight over her like this?

Ting Xu: Don't believe or spread rumors.

It isn't until one day, when the scumbag and her little follower show up at her door at the same time, that she realizes...

Maybe all those rumors are true???

A little scene:

Little Mu loses his memory and is taken in by Ting Xu. After spending some time with her, he realizes she's a very strange person.

Ting Xu claims she loves her husband Gu Qiao most of all, but behind his back she drags Little Mu to the martial arts tournaments hosted by various sects. Munching on melon seeds, she comments on every male contestant's (???) pectoral development, shoulder width, and waist-to-hip ratio.

Ting Xu even has a whole philosophy about it: "You get used to the scent of the flowers at home and stop noticing how good they smell. Sometimes you have to look at the wildflowers outside."

Little Mu catches on and immediately signs up to compete.

He hears the jeers rising all around him, calling him the little blind man, and seems to sense something as he looks toward a quiet spot.

He wants her to know that all the men she admires so much are no match for a little blind man like him.

The blurb was screenshotted and uploaded on 2024.5.4 as proof.

Reading guide:

* The heroine is Ting Xu, and the hero is Mu Tingsheng. The hero is blind at the beginning. Please don't read if that's a dealbreaker~

* Not a conventional level-up cultivation novel, and not a strong-female-lead story. The romance and plot are split sixty-forty. It's all about being cheesy, dramatic, and old-school.

* A story about a man suffering because his love is unrequited. Male-lead fans, beware. The heroine is neither a submissive wife nor a lovesick fool.

* I'll add more if I think of anything...

Theme: People grow through love and life, leave their past selves behind, and live more vibrant lives
