That Little Thing About How the Traitor Loves Me

My next book, “After the Deep Sea Descended, I Became Everyone's Crush,” opens on November 17. Please add it to your reading list~

Blurb:

The first time Christine was betrayed by a puppet was in front of the Rose Throne. Her most perfect creation had just seized power when it abruptly severed their contract. Invisible threads stretched out from Christine, stained with blood and laid across the steps.

Christine lowered her head and carved the name Benoli deep into her heart.

After they perished together, Christine was reborn at the very beginning.

The newly made puppet lay on the bed before her, pale and fragile, knowing nothing of what had happened.

The question was: What should she do with this future traitor?

Christine had always believed Benoli would betray her again. But each time Benoli looked up, all Christine could see was her clear, fervent gaze.

Boring, and yet enough to soften her heart.

Until Christine saw in the mirror Benoli embrace her from behind, her lowered eyes brimming with love.

Look, she loves me most in this world. The threads that bind us and the true name that shrouds us are just different ways of saying so.

Reader's guide:

· The early part has a master-and-servant setup

· A faux-angst romance, but really it's sweet and indulgent

· My take on Western fantasy, with tons of original worldbuilding

· A huge height difference between gong and shou: a handsome 1.9-meter-tall big sister and an adorable 1.5-meter-tall cutie

Blurb for “After the Deep Sea Descended, I Became Everyone's Crush”

Li Mumu never dreamed that after buying a fish at the market for a nice dinner, seawater would suddenly pour in through her window the very next second, followed by a fish tail that smacked her unconscious.

When she woke up, she found herself facing the ruins of a city submerged beneath the sea. She had no choice but to struggle to survive.

Day one: She clung to a fish tail just to breathe.

Day two: The giant fish turned into a mermaid and mistook her for its mate.

Day n: Li Mumu “gave birth” to a pearl that could purify pollution.

And later...

A great white shark with soft skin, an octopus with sticky, wet tentacles, and a translucent, smooth jellyfish... They all set their sights on the only pure haven amid the pollution and despair.

Li Mumu: Don't come any closer!

At first, no one paid attention to the details.

The water from the taps just had a few impurities.

The seafood at the market was just a little overgrown and deformed.

There were just a few too many tsunamis.

Until that day.

Countless gigantic, grotesque sea creatures came ashore as the sea level rose at an alarming rate. Huge, slimy tentacles coiled around the lighthouse, and unseeing eyes bulged out to peer through the windows.

The deep sea had arrived.

Not an NP story, but plenty of deep-sea creatures will have one-sided crushes on the shou.

Post-apocalyptic setting, deep sea, and a horror-like resurgence premise.

Theme: We should treat every individual equally
