The White Moonlight Ran Away

After marrying a disabled tycoon in place of her sister, who had run away from her wedding, Qin Shu willingly endured every injustice of married life.

When the tycoon went bankrupt, she even sold her businesses and the permanent rights to her books, then worked hard in the entertainment industry to help him make a comeback.

But just as his illness improved and his career began to take off, she suddenly died.

To her dying day, she never won his heart.

After being reborn, Qin Shu learned that she was the devoted female supporting character in a rebirth novel, the obsessive tycoon's deceased wife and first love, and a heartless plot device.

She'd paid with her life to go from a plain grain of rice to his beloved first love. Qin Shu declared that she was done being anyone's first love!

In this new life, Qin Shu decided to love herself, dump the scumbag tycoon, raise her daughter, work hard at her career, and become a rich woman.

After climbing back up from the bottom and becoming successful, Tan Yize prepared to win back his ex-wife.

By then, Qin Shu had become a hugely popular celebrity and a rich woman in the entertainment industry, with rumors linking her to men everywhere. Fans could pair her up with anyone from the Imperial Capital to Shen City!

When he entered Qin Shu's livestream to gather information, he heard her spouting nonsense:

"Who didn't make mistakes when they were young? I just made the same mistake everyone does: I was dazzled by good looks."

"My ex? Oh, he's gone from being my first love to a moldy grain of rice in a slop bucket."

"Remarry? Of course I'll remarry. There's no law against getting married twice, is there?"

"Why did I join the entertainment industry? Because you can't hang yourself from one crooked tree. Once I gave it up, I found myself a whole forest. Every sapling in that forest is straight-trunked, handsome, and gorgeous!"

"..."

The next day, Tan Yize went straight to her home and cornered her against the wall. "Moldy rice? Remarrying? A whole forest? Look me in the eye and say that again!"

Isn't it better to be alive, or are the young pretty boys not handsome enough? Qin Shu: Men slow down my money-making. So get lost!

Later, it seemed that in both her lives, she was destined to hang herself from Tan Yize's tree...

The Goddess's Dignity [Greek Mythology]

Blurb:

Because of a prophecy by Uranus, god of the sky, and Gaia, mother of the earth, Athena was swallowed by Zeus along with her mother, Metis, before she could be born.

Too weak to resist, she could never escape the powerful and terrifying king of the gods. Only after the Greek gods were destroyed did she finally see the bright world outside.

Reborn, she decided to train hard, break the shackles of fate, and strive to become a powerful and glorious goddess.

With her mother's blessing, Athena was born from the head of Zeus, king of the gods, and began her glorious journey.

"The mighty sacred mountain of Olympus trembled fearfully, the surrounding lands cried out in terror, and the sea churned with black waves. Heaven, earth, and sea all quaked before the goddess born from the head of wise Zeus."

"Clad in armor, golden and resplendent, blue-eyed goddess of great glory; creative, resolute, pure virgin goddess; guardian of the city, courageous Pallas Athena, I sing to you, offering you a devout hymn."

PS: The second half of the blurb quotes Homer's Hymn to Athena.

Theme: Even a couch potato needs a dream.
