Fu Ye, hailed as the queen of mystery novels, is set to play the heroine of her own novel, Rose of Blood. The entire entertainment industry is in an uproar, and netizens are stunned as well.

Rumor has it that she's a short, chubby woman in her forties, so she's clearly unsuited to play the heroine of Rose of Blood. Netizens have all voiced their confusion, telling Her Majesty the Queen to focus on writing and put her pen to good use.

But no one expected that, just a few months ago, during a murder at a mystery writers' convention, this very Queen would reveal the killer's physical characteristics live on stream. At last, Her Majesty Fu Ye's true face was revealed, and the whole internet exploded.

Netizen 1: Who is this beauty? I just saw a celestial beauty! Is she our Queen? Oh my god!

Netizen 2: Sis, why didn't you join the entertainment industry sooner? You're so beautiful! You could have gotten by on your looks, but you chose to rely on your talent! I'm drooling!

Netizen 3: I love watching Sis solve mysteries on livestream! I love it!

Netizen 4: Am I the only one who thinks there are always several men gathered around her? Isn't that a little inappropriate?

Netizen 5: What? Who are those men? Get lost! My sister shines all on her own! Don't use my sister to get attention!

The newly crowned Best Actor and CEO of the Duan Corporation: ??? Attention? Do I need it?

Eighteenth-tier idol Pei Xiangyang: ??? I'm really not using her to get attention. She's my master!

Officer Pei Yan: ??? She's a consultant for my bureau. It's my duty to protect her personal safety wherever she goes.

The woman in question, Qin Wanfu, aka Her Majesty the Queen, twenty-five years old, Fu Ye, gives a bewitching glance, shoves aside the three men bickering in front of her, and strides off: Men are nothing but obstacles on her path to solving cases.

The Actual Blurb

An internet celebrity's sudden death at a press conference, a shadow tailing someone through the night, the mystery of deaths involving real and fake doubles, the truth hidden behind a deduction variety show, a case sealed away ten years ago...

You are a star in the mist, and I am the wind that parts the clouds. You are the bright moon in the heavens. No, you are the queen who looks down on everything.

Guide:

1. One-on-one romance, happy ending, two strong leads, mystery and deduction, an actress, the entertainment industry, younger man, a story about adults.

2. No real-life inspirations. This is an entirely fictional setting: the characters, era, and locations are all far removed from reality. You won't find any real-life counterparts, so don't make weird assumptions. Whoever takes it too seriously will end up written into the book! (Demonic whisper.gif)

3. Don't ask whether anyone is a virgin or chaste. My heroine really doesn't care. Given her personality, she'd only say, "The next one's more obedient!"

4. You'll be guessing whom she'll choose as the story progresses. The heroine is a queen. She'll be with whoever she wants, and she won't discuss it with anyone.

5. Updates are irregular. Stockpiling chapters in progress. [Working hard to improve my writing and hoping not to disappoint the readers who like my work.]

Pre-release: My Sister, I'll Take Care of You

[Couple: Gentle, scheming, puppy-like younger man vs. adorable, sweet older sister]

Is it shameful to be twenty-five and never have been in a relationship?

Yu Yao never thought so. But after learning that the person she'd once had a crush on, and who had rejected her confession, had gotten married and had a child, she realized that a Platonic relationship really wasn't as good as having a real romance.

But she had standards, too. So on her twenty-fifth birthday, she found a male college student who appealed to her in every way and entered into a mutually willing, three-month contract relationship with him.

On the first day of their relationship, her gentle young boyfriend awkwardly took out his wallet and offered to buy her milk tea.

She forced a smile and gritted her teeth as she put on the rich lady act: "It's fine. Your big sister will take care of you!"

And so she took care of him for three months.

To enjoy the pleasures of being a rich lady, she worked hard during the day and spent money freely at night, until she was completely broke.

Three months later, when the contract expired, she waved her hand and broke things off cleanly.

Dating takes so much effort and money! It's really nothing special!

So she moved to a different city, changed jobs, and planned to start over.

But on her second day at the new company, she saw her former little boyfriend in the chairman's office.

Thinking this money pit had come to ask her to get back together, she cornered him in an empty stairwell after work.

"I don't have any money now. I can't afford to take care of you."

Her gentle young boyfriend pulled her into his arms, his eyes red as he whispered in her ear, "It's fine, Sis. I'll take care of you!"
