This Can't Possibly Be a Bad Ending [Quick Transmigration]

Pure, gentle wife-type x gloomy, cool, seductive snake-type [Here, “wife” doesn't mean an actual wife. It's just a certain temperament and feeling. “Snake-type” is also just a certain personality and feeling.] [They are absolutely switch, both ways. If you insist on assigning top and bottom, they're both bottoms; neither is a top. Whenever either one tops, it's for love. That is, if Shen Zhaoning is the bottom and Li Su is the top, it's wife-type bottom x seductive top; if Li Su is the bottom and Shen Zhaoning is the top, it's seductive bottom x wife-type top.] First world (historical setting): [Daughter of a traitor who rebelled x Empress | gentle as water x gloomy, resentful wife] When the long sword lifted her chin, Shen Zhaoning thought she was as good as dead. After all, her close family had rebelled and usurped the throne of Rong Su, the former Crown Princess. Shen Zhaoning had schemed and plotted at every turn, using and deceiving Rong Su's sincere affection before abandoning her and casting her into the mud. But, against all expectations, she didn't die. Shen Zhaoning couldn't understand. Rong Su hated and despised her, so why did she still share the most intimate, passionate moments imaginable with her? When their bodies touched, Rong Su held her tight, their hair entwined. Shen Zhaoning saw the tides of desire coloring her cold, exquisite features, and clearly saw the hatred in her eyes. * Shen Zhaoning wanted to escape through death, but nothing in this world was that easy. She wanted to die, but Rong Su refused to let her. Shen Zhaoning was kind to everyone, yet cold and merciless toward her, casting her aside like trash. She would help a ragged beggar and risk her life to protect a palace maid she'd only recently met. She felt compassion for every blade of grass and every tree, yet couldn't spare Shen Zhaoning the slightest pity. For two years, night after night, Rong Su asked her in her dreams, again and again: Why did you come close to me and say you loved me, only to abandon me? Eventually, she stopped insisting on an answer. Shen Zhaoning was kind to everyone but despised and rejected only her. That, too, made her unique. She would never let go, and Shen Zhaoning could forget about it. Even if she died, she would go to Shen Zhaoning's side to draw her last breath. Second world [Modern setting, elite academy]: Transfer student who deliberately gets close x cool, snake-type heiress of a powerful family From Shen Zhaoning's very first day at Shengde Academy, the name Lian Su followed her everywhere. The class president, acting as her guide around the school, kindly warned her. Lian Su was the untouchable presence at the very top of Shengde Academy. She belonged to none of the school's power structures, yet stood above them all. Her beauty and influence made her the object of everyone's admiration, so there was always someone who knew the danger and still recklessly approached her. Without exception, they all paid a terrible price. The class president quietly warned her, “Don't get your hopes up. Don't go near her.” But less than half a month after transferring, word that the new girl was pursuing Lian Su had spread throughout the academy. She'd clearly ignored the warning. Everyone watched Shen Zhaoning repeatedly approach Lian Su and try to win her favor, only for Lian Su to coldly brush her off, making it obvious she had no interest in talking to her. Behind her back, people sneered at Shen Zhaoning, mocking her for daring to think someone from the middle class could reach for Lian Su, who stood at the very top of the pyramid. Seeing her hit a wall time and again, a friend kindly advised, “Lian Su isn't easy to get close to. Why not give up?” Fortunately, Shen Zhaoning wasn't the sort to stubbornly persist no matter what. She nodded and agreed. No one noticed the figure turning away as the two of them talked. * Lian Su had been born at the top of the pyramid. Those hoping to curry favor with her were as numerous as fish crossing a river. They all harbored unrealistic fantasies, their eyes filled with the same desire and greed. She despised people like that. So whenever they approached her, she made sure they paid a suitably terrible price. Shen Zhaoning was one of them. Her calculated advances and clumsy attempts to win her favor were obvious at a glance. Just as Lian Su was watching to see how far she'd go, Shen Zhaoning gave up early. What had made this impatient girl so quick to quit halfway? She hated people who gave up halfway, so she decided to teach Shen Zhaoning a lesson. She would teach Shen Zhaoning how to approach her, how to please her, and how to fall in love with her. Third world [Modern futuristic setting]: Vampire x human girl During a bounty hunt, Shen Zhaoning came across an abandoned human girl. It wasn't easy for a vampire to get by in an age ruled by humans, let alone earn a little money. But when her compassion was stirred, she still brought the little girl home. She took on the role of guardian and big sister. Then one day, a richly dressed visitor arrived at the rundown building on the edge of the city. The human girl she'd taken in turned out to be the daughter of a viscount. Jiang Su belonged back where she came from, so Shen Zhaoning generously sent her away. But Jiang Su held on to her hand and wouldn't let go. Her deep green eyes fixed on Shen Zhaoning. “You're coming with me.” In the end, Shen Zhaoning was taken along too, and stayed on as a servant. These days, plenty of the powerful kept vampires as servants or bodyguards. It wasn't unusual. In that grand, silent manor, she watched Jiang Su grow up and saw her gaze grow ever colder and more indifferent whenever she looked at her. She knew that once Jiang Su left that rundown building and returned to her own world, she would understand more and more clearly the differences in status and race between vampires and humans. For Jiang Su in particular, being raised by a vampire was probably the greatest stain on her life. Shen Zhaoning quietly accepted the name she could no longer call her, the uncrossable gulf between them. Time passed in a flash, and the past became unworthy of mention. Even her identity as an older sister was buried beneath a frozen river. One day, the viscount died. At the same time, Jiang Su was accepted into Capital International University with straight A's. All the servants were dismissed, and the enormous manor now stood empty. Shen Zhaoning thought it might be time for her to leave too. But, just as she had when they were children, Jiang Su took her with her. In their new surroundings, a spacious villa, Shen Zhaoning thought it over for several days before deciding to leave. Before she went, she left a letter, repeatedly promising that she would never tell anyone about their past. She wouldn't appear before Jiang Su again; she would act as if they were strangers who had never met, with nothing between them. On a day when Jiang Su was still at school, Shen Zhaoning slipped away. After a day on the road, her car left the city, but her destination was still far away. She stopped at a quiet inn to rest, then got up early again before dawn. She packed up and prepared to leave, but the moment she opened the inn room door, Shen Zhaoning froze. Jiang Su stood in the dim hallway, surrounded by a thick mist. Her expression was hidden in the dense darkness, but her deep green eyes were unmistakably cold and damp as they stared straight at Shen Zhaoning. “Where are you going?” Fourth world [Republican-era setting]: Second young miss in a wheelchair x young sister-in-law I've already thought up the blurb for the fourth world, but I may change it, so I'm leaving it out for now. - A few things to know before reading: 1. One of the female leads is the same person from beginning to end, not a split-off version. 2. This isn't a traditional quick transmigration novel. Each story is fairly long. 3. The female lead will never get involved with men, and will have no romantic or physical connection to them whatsoever. Any men who appear may have social ties to her, but none of them will come to a good end. 4. The first world is a story I came up with several years ago, and it was also the starting point when I began updating this novel three years ago. My ideas have changed since then, but I don't feel I can abandon it. I still want to give the characters in the first world an ending. I've revised it this year, and it still fits the novel's central theme, but it's more of a tragic love story, full of intertwined love and hate, perhaps even a false pretense of hatred. Its style differs quite a bit from the other three worlds, so I wanted to give readers a heads-up. Theme: Love is one of a kind.
