Upcoming novel: Immortal Lord, You're on My Block List
[Main Story Complete. Extras will be posted from time to time.]
After Yu Qian transmigrates into a book, she accidentally picks up a jade slip and encounters a senior whose voice comes from outside the story.
There is no heaven-sent cheat, and no advance spoilers. There is only a sinister voice circling endlessly: “The Jiyue Sect is fated to be destroyed because of the heroine. Since that's the case, why not destroy the sect ahead of time, devour the sect leader's spirit, and rule the cultivation world?”
A simple, kindhearted office worker, Yu Qian refuses the voice's suggestion. She soothes the senior while hurrying off to cling to her sect leader master's coattails.
To defeat a powerhouse, you need another powerhouse. Her master seems moody and unpredictable, but he's actually soft-hearted and pure of heart. A little attention from her, and he acts calm on the outside while his heart blooms like a garden.
Yu Qian cooks with a cleaver, and her master secretly saves the porcelain bowl without a word. She sneaks off to give him a present, only to nearly be blinded by the god-grade magical artifact he gives her in return. She gets drunk and loses herself in a fit of midnight revelry. When she wakes up, he lets her keep holding his hand, smiling softly.
Yu Qian: As expected, my master is the easiest man in the world to win over. With him looking out for me, I'll never have to struggle to survive again.
Until the day she clutches the jade slip and screams for help at the voice from outside the story, and her pure-hearted, easy-to-bully master appears from the sky. Yu Qian is stunned.
The voice from outside the story, the one who keeps making snide remarks to me through the jade slip, is that bastard sect leader master???
Upcoming novel blurb:
Shi Yue falls for the noble and principled immortal lord Gu Yu in a game. To raise his favorability, she runs all over the map mining for treasures, gathering materials, and giving him gifts every day.
Who knew Gu Yu would be completely unmoved? Shi Yue goes all out, only for his favorability to reach a mere twenty-five.
Shi Yue: ???
Then she transmigrates, bringing along a display-screen System that neatly lists every character in the world and their favorability toward her.
Seeing her master's and fellow disciples' favorability ratings stay flat, then looking at Gu Yu's pitiful little spike, Shi Yue decisively decides she doesn't want this man anymore! She doesn't want all the gifts she stockpiled to raise favorability, either!
The priceless mandarin-duck embroidered brocade? She hands it straight to her second senior brother.
The Returning Crane Pill, which took a hundred tries to refine? She hurries over to present it to her master.
The god-grade immortal sword she saved as her trump card in the secret realm? Big senior brother, wait for me!
Shi Yue, whose favorability with everyone has reached its peak, the cultivation world's darling, and a girl who has completely forgotten her own white moonlight: Thanks for asking. I'm living a very happy life now.
Gu Yu shuts himself away in the mountains, with only the breeze and snow for company. There is just one person who comes to visit him every day. He has reservations and has never dared reveal his feelings. Then one day, that person stops coming.
He is confused and bewildered. It isn't until his senior brother shows up holding a furnace of glittering pills and praises his own disciple for being filial, adorable, clever, and wonderful that Gu Yu realizes she has found someone new.
His world falls apart.
#The male lead isn't a terrible jerk. He's a pure-hearted, handsome, powerful, tragic guy.#
#No groveling-to-win-her-back arc, but the male lead turns into a jealous sourpuss and pursues her.#
Theme: Human will can overcome fate.
