I'm Done Being This Mary Sue Heroine

[Complete. The new novel *She Is in Her Prime* is now out. Please add it to your favorites!] Blurb: You Lili is a Mary Sue, 24-karat, pure. In kindergarten, she fantasized about being the one and only little princess of every boy in the Sunflower class. In elementary school, she imagined the class heartthrob and the class bully fighting over her until they were battered and bleeding. In middle school, she imagined a world-shattering romance with a handsome young teacher. Whenever she walked down the street, if any young man looked at her for more than a second, she'd immediately imagine he'd fallen in love with her at first sight. Then she started high school. Oh, wow, she picked up a new skill: writing novels! You Lili devoted all her effort, poured her heart and soul into it, and racked her brains... to write a xianxia epic of tragic love with a setting alone that ran to two hundred thousand words: *A Dream in Langhuan, Beauty to Bones: Every Male Cultivator in the World Loves Me*. In the story: She is the little princess of the entire Langhuan Immortal Realm! The Demon Lord and Sword Venerable fight until they're battered and bleeding to win her! Her immortal master composes a heaven-defying love song with her! And him, him, and him... Countless men go mad with infatuation and lose themselves over her! She is none other than the wicked yet lovable woman, You Lili! "If being loved is a sin, then I am beyond redemption." The world is on the brink of destruction because of this sinful woman. For love and peace, and for the men who love her, You Lili finally throws herself off a cliff, bringing the conflict to an end. What a heartbreaking, stirring, soul-shattering tale! You Lili was moved to tears by her own story! Yeah, right. All that was in the past. Now You Lili is single since birth and a little socially anxious. She shouts about wanting a relationship, then runs eight zhang away whenever a man flirts with her. And *Every Male Cultivator in the World Loves Me*? Come on, everyone has a little embarrassing history! The Mary Sue You Lili of the past has been killed off by her own hand. Now all You Lili wants is to be a decent person. With a righteous expression, You Lili destroys the little book of embarrassing memories, body and all. And then... she transmigrates into a book. She becomes You Lili in *Every Male Cultivator in the World Loves Me*. Looking at the Demon Lord, Sword Venerable, her master, and all the other venerables, who are destined to love her desperately in the future, You Lili's eyes widen in shock... Don't come any closer! * Everyday life in the Langhuan Immortal Realm, later on: Did the Demon Lord/Sword Venerable/Immortal Venerable/Dao Venerable manage to win You Lili over today? No! *A Mary Sue who doesn't want to keep fish, and a whole school of fish determined to leap into her arms. *Silly Mary Sue, but not entirely silly, with angst. It looks like a romantic battlefield but is really a crematorium. *The story structure is a little unusual. Chapters 1–26 are all setup; you can consider chapter 26 the beginning of the main story. Blurb for the new novel *She Is in Her Prime*: Le An was a beauty famous throughout the land when she was young, but every beauty grows old. Now forty-one, Le An has outlived two husbands and three emperors. Young girls call her great-grandmother, and people treat her as though she has one foot in the grave. Whenever writers and scholars mention her, they sigh that a beauty has grown old, what a pity. But Le An doesn't think she's halfway in the grave, nor does she think she's pitiful or a shame. She thinks she's in her prime. She can still marry a handsome, graceful young man with red lips and pearly white teeth. The young man is called Sui Lu. A white egret stands gracefully on the banks of the Sui River. He is peerlessly beautiful, unmatched beneath the heavens. At this year's Qujiang Banquet, Sui Lu made his debut and captured countless hearts. The young men and women who liked him could circle the capital a hundred times. But no one expected that this young man would stop Le An's carriage and offer himself as her husband. Le An lifted the curtain and looked at the young man outside. Overcome by his good looks, she said yes. When the news came out, countless people tried to dissuade Le An: "He's only after your power. He doesn't have a shred of genuine affection for you!" So what if he is? I'm after his looks. "Men all love younger women. Once you kick the bucket, he'll immediately find someone young. Don't believe me?" I do, of course I do. But once I'm dead, why should I care whether he gets another wife? "He could be your son. Aren't you ashamed?" Your young wife could be your great-granddaughter, and you don't look ashamed. No matter what anyone else says, Le An is very pleased with her young man. Extremely pleased! After all, she's not after anything else. She just wants him to be young and handsome, and most importantly, have a good waist! "But this is a little too good..." The morning after their wedding, Le An said this while holding her aching waist. * Sui Lu is only seventeen, but he has already planned out his next hundred years and firmly believes he will follow his path to the end. And to achieve his goal... He sets his sights on Princess Le An, who is said to hold power over all under heaven. 1. A long princess in her prime × an ambitious, scheming young man 2.
