I Want to Do It Again

A prospective partner sent someone to inspect the company, and the boss took it very seriously.

On Xiang Nanyi's first day, all the women in the company were buzzing with gossip, as if spring were about to arrive.

Only Gu Yun remained silent, pouring tea and fetching water, busy as a servant.

There was a dinner gathering that evening. The conversation turned to how Xiang Nanyi was from Xicheng, and lived in Taohua Sanli Lane.

A colleague murmured, "Huh? Sister Yun, isn't that where you live? You haven't seen Mr. Xiang all these years?"

She lied awkwardly. "We've never met."

The next second, Xiang Nanyi spoke up. "Oh? I seem to remember being your neighbor for over ten years, Miss Gu."

The man sitting beside him, who had come along with him, was so shocked that he spat out a mouthful of water.

Then Xiang Nanyi dropped another bombshell. "Wasn't it Miss Gu who dumped me without a second thought three years ago?"

Gu Yun: "..."

That year, Xiang Nanyi lost his left hand while saving Gu Yun. Holding him and sobbing, she said, "I won't look down on you. We're still going to get married."

Xiang Nanyi smiled and stroked the back of her head, thinking that losing a hand wasn't worth making such a fuss over.

Later, Gu Yun asked to break up and begged him to let her go.

Xiang Nanyi asked her, "Aren't you going to marry me anymore?"

Gu Yun said, "No. What can someone who's lost half his ability to work offer me?"

Gu Yun: If I could do it all over again, I'd want to die in that car accident.

Upcoming novel: The Ex's Uncle's White Moonlight

Blurb:

Ye Xia and Qin Qingyue planned to get engaged after dating for four years, but the night before their engagement, she was provoked by his mistress.

After his affair was exposed, Qin Qingyue wept bitterly, went on a hunger strike, and stalked her, all to beg for forgiveness.

Unfortunately, after days of getting nowhere, Qin Qingyue accepted reality, got over his heartbreak, and turned around to demand 280,000 yuan in bride price.

Ye Xia returned the 280,000 yuan and added, "You could hardly be a bigger jerk. I hope you stay a jerk for the rest of your life."

She fell asleep seething with enough hatred to curse his ancestors for eighteen generations. When she woke up, Ye Xia had transmigrated into the body of a woman who shared her name.

She watched a tall, slender man with an aloof, refined air emerge from the kitchen.

What a coincidence: she knew him. He was the most outstanding younger son of the Qin family, and the uncle Qin Qingyue feared most, Qin Nanyi.

Word was that Qin Nanyi had a white moonlight in his heart, which was why he kept his distance from women and politely declined matchmaking arrangements, much to the dismay of the Qin matriarch, who nearly jumped into a river.

Ye Xia silently turned to look at the picture frame beside her. The two people in it were posing intimately, their faces wreathed in smiles.

What was she supposed to do... It seemed she'd become his white moonlight...

Just then, Qin Nanyi suddenly leaned down, trapping her between himself and the sofa. His voice was cold and his gaze dark as he said, "Don't think about running away. Even if you die, you have to die by my side."

"!!!!"

Wasn't she supposed to be his white moonlight? Why was he talking to her like that?

Mom! There's something wrong with this man!

A Thousand Layers of Floss, Ten Thousand Ridges

Blurb (2022.09.21):

Zhu Yuqi was the Ghost Valley Saintess, holding the Spring of Three Lives in her hands, its power enough to safeguard Ghost Valley for a hundred years.

On one trip outside the valley, she brought back an impossibly handsome man.

The man was weak in martial arts and thin of build. Apart from his face, he had nothing else to recommend him.

During his six months in Ghost Valley, he endured endless mockery and was repeatedly provoked by the men of the valley until his eyes turned bloodshot.

Zhu Yuqi smiled and comforted him. "Why bother with them? Just tell them you're my man, and no one will dare act out again."

"Xiu Luoli, I am The Outcast, second to none and above all others. I'm more than worthy of you, so what are you hesitating for?"

One night, the ten-mile barrier outside Ghost Valley was suddenly breached. Martial arts sects slipped in one after another, and every ghost in the valley was slaughtered.

Zhu Yuqi tried to summon the Spring of Three Lives and draw the ghosts into it so they could cross beneath Qing Shan Cliff, but she discovered that the spring's source had been sealed and its waters had gone dead.

Flames blazed across the valley. Her people fled, and everywhere she looked, life lay in ruins.

Zhu Yuqi stood beside the ghost stele in the wind, drenched in blood as she watched a figure slowly approach from several yards away: Xiu Luoli, the martial arts world's leader.

He was said to be a martial arts genius who could take on a hundred opponents at once, and had created his own peerless martial art before reaching adulthood.

Xiu Luoli said, "A Qi, put down your sword. I'll take you away."

Zhu Yuqi slowly raised her sword, her eyes bloodshot. Gritting her teeth, she said, "Xiu Luoli, go to hell!"
