Blurb 1: Shen Ningyu used to think romance was a waste of life. Then she met Xiao Chi, and changed her mind.

For the first time in years, her cold, dormant heart began to pound. She had never been a good person, and she used every trick in the book to lure Xiao Chi into becoming her boyfriend.

But no matter how forcefully she had taken him for herself, he was never truly hers.

The beautiful, gifted painter Shen Ningyu suffered setbacks in both love and work, then fled back to a remote border town, pregnant and in a sorry state.

Six years later, Shen Ningyu returned with a goal: marry Xiao Chi, drive him into bankruptcy by making his life miserable, then leave him for someone else.

The first two wishes came true, but she failed every time she tried to make the third happen.

*

Blurb 2: Six years later, Xiao Chi had become a three-time Golden Award-winning Best Actor, with countless fangirls. Women who wanted to have his babies could circle the globe.

Yet he had no scandals, kept his distance from everyone, and remained self-possessed. Longtime fans all said the actor's heart had been broken by his first love, who had dumped him for being poor, and that he would probably die alone.

No one expected the actor, supposedly destined to be alone, to marry his first love, intending to make her taste the pain of being loved and then abandoned.

When Xiao Chi saw Shen Ningyu lift a handsome young man's chin with her index finger, smiling seductively, the passion in his eyes finally spiraled out of control.

His face was full of obsession and determination. His voice was hoarse. "You're mine, mine alone. You can have me only after I'm dead."

Shen Ningyu laughed until tears came to her eyes. Her voice was cold as ice. "Then go die."

Bonus scene: Xiao Chi was stunned by two pieces of good news: first, he had a five-year-old daughter; second, his wife Shen Ningyu was pregnant.

Before he could take it all in, Shen Ningyu told him to come to the hospital and sign the papers. She didn't want the baby. "I learned my lesson. Things were too awful last time, and I don't want to go through that again."

Xiao Chi's face darkened. Only then did he realize that the "Li" in his daughter Shen Lili's name meant "leave."

Shen Ningyu no longer loved Xiao Chi.

Currently updating The Villain Is Under My Protection [Apocalypse]. Please add it to your collection!

Blurb: When Pei Qingmeng was on the brink of death, she suddenly remembered that she was in an Apocalypse novel. She was just a passerby who didn't even deserve a name.

The novel had little to set it apart, and she had long forgotten the main couple's storyline. But the name of the great villain, feared by the entire world, was identical to that of her lover, who had died young. That was what caught her interest.

The villain, Chu Xinghe, had a special kind of blood that powerful humans coveted. When he unleashed a storm of lightning in a final battle to take his enemies down with him, Pei Qingmeng realized that the Chu Xinghe of the Apocalypse was identical to her late lover. Unfortunately, she was about to die, too.

*

When she woke up again, Chu Xinghe had just escaped from a laboratory. Apart from his special blood, he had nothing to his name, and was a poor thing being hunted across the world. Pei Qingmeng, meanwhile, was a high-ranking ability user.

For the sake of that familiar face, Pei Qingmeng was determined to save him. But the poor thing was wary of her and wanted nothing to do with her.

Later, the great villain who had once terrified the entire world clung to her clothes, soft and aggrieved. "Don't go. If you want to treat me as a stand-in, that's fine, too."

Love may be separated by time and space, but time and space can be crossed.

Sweet dreams fill the bed, pressing down on Xinghe. There is no stand-in, only you.

Coming in August: The Vase Spirit's Secret Crush on Me

Blurb: Everyone knew that the superstar Xie Jiashu had a female fan who often spent lavishly on him.

When Xie Jiashu endorsed a jewelry brand, the wealthy woman immediately bought out every piece of the jewelry he wore. Even all the villas within a kilometer of his own were hers.

His fans were jealous and irritated, but the wealthy woman never crossed a line. She simply showed her affection for Xie Jiashu by throwing money around. His rivals were green with envy, yet no matter how they showed off, they couldn't catch her eye.

Eventually, even his fans wanted to tell their idol to just marry the rich woman, while his rivals thought Xie Jiashu was taking advantage of her devotion.

But Xie Jiashu, who knew the truth, could only smile bitterly. The wealthy Shen Ci wasn't interested in him at all. She was clearly after his taciturn, research-obsessed twin brother, Xie Jiayu!

*

Xie Jiayu accidentally learned that the wealthy young woman Shen Ci, whose crush on his younger brother was known to the whole world, actually liked him!

Xie Jiayu looked at his own face, roughened by frequent nights spent roughing it in the wilderness, and shook his head. Compared with his younger brother, he was far from handsome. How could she possibly like him? The girl had to be blind.

So he never responded to her.

After hitting a wall time and again, the beautiful, enthusiastic young woman stopped pursuing him.

One night, Xie Jiayu, emboldened by drink, stopped Shen Ci. His eyes were red as he asked, "Weren't you secretly in love with me? Why did you stop?"

Shen Ci, a thousand-year-old vase spirit who had never had a crush on anyone in either of her two lives, was dumbfounded. She had only been trying to maintain her human form!

Besides, in her previous life, Xie Jiayu had used her as a fish tank. She still hadn't settled that score!
