The Black Lotus Is Purely Righteous!

November 2, 2020. Blurb placeholder.

A new idea, set in an alternate history. Time to get back into writing historical romance.

Though I really want to write Quick Transmigration, given my habits, it might turn into slow transmigration by the end. [.

After her acting skills failed to measure up, she was politely eliminated from one popular department after another: the sweet-and-innocent group, the white-lotus group, the moonlight group, the scheming group, the revenge-queen group, the super-A cool big-sister group, and so on. Then she was kicked from the couch-potato group to the cannon-fodder group, and finally managed to wreck the main plots of two small worlds all by herself, with only three minutes of screen time...

Xie Xiu's career at the Time Management Bureau may have reached a dead end.

So she earnestly sought advice from a legendary senior: What is the highest level of acting?

Legendary senior: Sincerely think of yourself as the person you're playing.

Xie Xiu: Uh...

Xie Xiu: Senior, in your legendary career, what advice do you have for playing cannon fodder?

Legendary senior: You're not there to destroy them. You're there to join them.

Xie Xiu: Uh...

Later...

Dashing young master: I've never met anyone like you. Will you be with me?

[The young master's thoughts: How interesting. When I cut open her chest, I'm sure I'll find a very unusual heart.]

Shy young woman Xie Xiu: O-okay...

[Xiu'er’s thoughts: How interesting. When he cuts open my chest, I'm sure he'll find a very unusual storyline.]

On their wedding night, the young marquis lifted her red veil. They gazed into each other's eyes and smiled tenderly.

[The young marquis, smiling gently: Good. I don't love her. I've cut off all ties with my family, so now I have no weaknesses.]

[The shy bride, blushing: Good. I don't love him. I've cut off all ties with my family, so now this storyline has no weaknesses.]

This is probably the story of a deeply devoted, scheming black lotus who earnestly sets out to dig into the entire storylines of cannon-fodder characters, only for those storylines to grow so substantial and brilliant that they often take over the main plot.

[Reader's Notes]

1. This is a story about the female lead's growth. In other words, she won't be invincible from the start. Her abilities, experience, knowledge, and skills will gradually improve as the story progresses.

2. Slow transmigration. I currently expect to write four or five mission worlds. Each world has one-on-one romance, and the story's final pairing is also one-on-one, with a happy ending.

3. At times, the female lead may come across as a little timid, but any excessive emotional angst is fake, and any physical suffering is fake too.

4. The first world has an offbeat love-song feel. If you don't enjoy this kind of story, feel free to skip it. It won't affect your enjoyment of what follows.

5. The author likes to set up mysteries and false impressions, and the truth may not be revealed until the end of a story. So please don't take appearances at face value before you see the whole picture.

6. At present, I can't think of any other major content warnings that need to be listed in advance. If anything seems inappropriate, please point it out reasonably in the comments. I'll update the blurb and the notes after Chapter One as needed.

Happy reading!
