------Novel blurb---------------

One night, Lu Qingyun wakes up in the body of the villainess in a reborn female-power fantasy novel. She’s about to be pinned down and slapped by the heroine until her face swells, then married off miserably, tormented by her husband’s family, and finally frozen to death in the snow.

She glances at the heroine, who is sharpening her knife and looking ready to come after her. Lu Qingyun raises both hands and swears that in this life she’ll be a carefree slacker who wants no trouble with anyone.

Ding-dong~

An electronic notification suddenly sounds.

[Congratulations, Host! You have successfully bound yourself to the "Gossip" System!]

System: Host, Host, the male and female leads met secretly in the pavilion last night at midnight.

Lu Qingyun: ...

System: Host, Host, the second male lead was rejected after confessing his feelings.

Lu Qingyun: ???

System: Host, Host, the great villain, the regent, was bucked off his own horse during a hunting expedition.

Lu Qingyun: !!!

After stumbling into the System’s trap, the lazy villainess is forced to eavesdrop on the leads’ gossip and gets assigned a mission to spread it.

Lu Qingyun: My days are numbered...

The current regent holds power over the entire court and is decisive and ruthless. Everyone avoids him. Qin Yu prides himself on leaving no loose ends and believes no one can get hold of anything to use against him... until one day, the embarrassing story of him being bucked off his horse spreads throughout Shengdu.

Then come stories of choking while eating, waking up frightened by nightmares, and being chased around the house by a mouse... Every tiny detail becomes a source of amusement for people over tea.

Qin Yu smashes a table with one blow and vows to find the person behind all this gossip and have them torn apart by five horses!

Later on.

The regent, who used to keep everyone at a distance, seizes every chance to hold the girl in his arms and refuses to let go.

Lu Qingyun: Weren’t you going to have me torn apart by five horses?

Qin Yu: Did I say that? Nonsense. I clearly said that anyone who dares touch Yun’er will be torn apart by five horses!

Well, now he’s eating his words.

---Pre-release 1: "The Young Master’s Darling in His Bedchamber" Please add to your collection------------

#Scheming, clever, and beautiful sweetheart VS aloof, noble, sickly young master#

Marriage before love, one-on-one romance, sweet and doting, happy ending

Liangzhou has two wealthy families, the Jin family and the Yin family.

The two families arrange a marriage, to secure their business and their children’s future.

The young lady of the Song family is a peerless beauty, gentle and kindhearted.

The young master of the Lu family is handsome and graceful, with a warm and refined manner.

Everyone says: With the two families joined in marriage, this is sure to become a beautiful love story.

But then the Lu family’s business suffers, and they fall into decline, while the Song family takes the opportunity to break off the engagement.

*

Her father, who values profit above all else, breaks the childhood betrothal that was arranged for Song Hua.

Having heard that her fiancé is clever, Song Hua intends to help him in secret and discuss marriage again after he rebuilds his family’s business.

But her fiancé is too proud. He leaves without a word and vanishes without a trace.

Later, her greedy father decides to marry her off to a notorious playboy in the city.

On the wedding day, however, the newly appointed prefect arrives with a marriage contract in hand and has her father and the playboy both thrown into prison for breaking the engagement.

Only then does Song Hua learn that the prefect is none other than the young master of the Lu family, who has returned to take revenge for the way they kicked him while he was down.

To save them, she goes to plead with him in person.

He stares at her for a long while, then says with a faint smile, "I have always been fair. Whatever is owed must be repaid."

Song Hua thinks it over for a moment, then suddenly understands.

"Young Master, then let’s get married."

*

Once the favored child of Heaven, Lu Chen loses his family’s standing, his parents die, and even his engagement is about to be broken off. Frail and sickly, he has long since lost hope.

He thinks, let her break it off. Given his situation, he shouldn’t drag the young lady into hardship.

Lu Chen personally takes the marriage contract to her home, intending to put an end to everything.

But he accidentally overhears a conversation between his future father-in-law and someone else.

It turns out the Song family wants to become the only power in town.

It turns out the Song family is responsible for his present circumstances.

Lu Chen grits his teeth, glares at the marriage contract in his hand, and resolutely leaves Liangzhou.

He goes to the capital, takes the imperial examinations, and eventually becomes a prefect. Then he returns to his hometown.

He hears his fiancée is going to marry someone else?

"Hmph. As if I’ll let you have your way."

So he has the father and son-in-law thrown into prison.

When his fiancée comes to plead for them, he intends to make things difficult and deliberately says, "I have always been fair. Whatever is owed must be repaid."

They owe the Lu family justice, and naturally that must be repaid as well.

But after thinking it over, the young woman suddenly says, "Then let’s get married."

Lu Chen: ?

In the years that follow, someone goes boating and happens to see the prefect and his wife, perfectly in tune with each other and deeply in love.

The people of Liangzhou marvel: Three years later, that beautiful love story has come true after all!

[Little scene]

Lu Chen has just learned that his wife once used their engagement to extort an estate from her greedy father.

That night, beneath the soft blue curtains, Lu Chen suddenly stops, gazing at his wife in his arms. Her eyes shimmer, and she looks so lovely and vulnerable. His gaze grows dark as he asks in a restrained, low voice, "You hid a house and farmland from me, hundreds of miles outside Liangzhou. Were you planning to divorce me?"

Song Hua really had been considering that. Her heart gives a little jolt, but she doesn’t show it. She clings to his neck, sobbing and utterly aggrieved.

"Back then, I thought my husband had come back for revenge and would throw me out sooner or later, so I made a backup plan."

At the sight of his wife crying, Lu Chen is helpless. He knows she’s making up an excuse to placate him, but still bends down to kiss away the tears in the corners of her eyes and gently comforts her.

"I won’t throw you out."

"And I’ll never divorce you."

---Pre-release 2: "After Failing to Win Over the Mad Villain" Please add to your collection-------

★A sunny girl who’s carefree but a little vengeful VS a dark, brooding man who puts up with everything but is exceptionally devoted

You don’t know how deep the water is until you step into the river.

You don’t understand how devoted a madman can be until you try to win him over.

Qiao Mu considers herself an advanced player of romance games, but one day she transmigrates into a novel as a supporting character and falls flat on her face while trying to win over the mad villain, who is infatuated with the heroine.

After three fruitless years, she plucks the title from her own head and throws it on the ground, then stomps on it twice.

Qiao Mu shrugs. "I guess someone who’s been single since birth like me just isn’t cut out for this."

"System! Give me a different mission!"

[Host, are you sure you don’t want to think it over? Xie Yinchen is just a little guarded, slow on the uptake, secretly flirtatious, and a bit too devoted. You’re so close to winning.]

Qiao Mu almost falls for it, then looks at the affection meter. "To hell with his devotion!"

The mission fails, and at her request, the System switches to "nurturing" mode.

From then on, an exceptionally talented artifact cultivator appears in the cultivation world, working herself to the bone.

Sect Leader: The prodigal has come back to the right path. I’m deeply relieved.

Senior Brother: Thank goodness I didn’t give up.

Qiao Mu: When I was little, I dreamed of having a robotic cat. Now my dream is to become one.

Many years later, the obscure little sect has become famous far and wide, and the lost young woman everyone once pitied has become a mighty artifact cultivator and a tycoon of the cultivation world.

The System retires after completing its mission and lies on the rooftop sunbathing, occasionally glancing at the former great demon whose name once struck terror into everyone. Now he sits obediently beside the young woman.

[Host, Xie Yinchen’s affection meter is completely full. Do you want to win him over in the other mode, too?]

Qiao Mu closes her eyes and lounges contentedly in the wicker chair.

"No. He should get to find out how painful love can be."

*

Xie Yinchen’s parents sacrificed themselves for the righteous path, so he should have been pitied. Instead, his own people secretly ostracize him. They take his position as sect leader, seize his family’s property, destroy his spiritual roots, and treat him like a dog.

After enduring all that humiliation, the only kindness he receives comes from a woman who happens to pass by.

Later, a single thought leads him to fall into demonic ways. He becomes the great demon whom everyone curses and hunts down, calling him unfilial and unrighteous.

Xie Yinchen sneers at them and focuses on taking back what belongs to him, including that woman.

But on his way to abduct her, a little girl who can’t even fly on a sword blocks his path.

"Xie Yinchen, are you going to abduct someone? Don’t go. You can’t beat the male lead."

The spirited young girl points at his chest.

Xie Yinchen’s face darkens. That’s where a small blue mark inexplicably appeared last night.

Could this woman have placed a spell on him?

"An immortal gave me a sign. This mark means you’re the one destined for me. So, Xie Yinchen, don’t go. I’ll come with you."

Xie Yinchen abducts the girl to the Demon Palace, intending to see what tricks she has up her sleeve.

But three years pass, and the girl still does nothing but treat him well. Xie Yinchen, who has been certain she must want something from him, finally begins to waver.

Perhaps...

At last, he wants to take the hand reaching out to him.

But the girl suddenly tugs open his clothes and looks at his smooth chest, visibly relieved.

"Xie Yinchen, look, the mark is gone. You’re not the one destined for me anymore."

"I’m leaving, Xie Yinchen. Don’t fight that person in the future. Take advice and you’ll never go hungry."

The girl leaves without looking back.

Xie Yinchen is lost for days.

When he finally leaves the Demon Palace, his face is pale and his eyes are bloodshot. He looks like a demon from hell, but tenderness and longing churn in his gaze.

"Mumu, it’s time to come back."

Premise: Face adversity with optimism and keep living life to the fullest.
