Project: Create the Next Purple Star

My dears, Violet Star will temporarily update every other day~ 8.22

[Coming soon: "What's It Like to Be the Butler of a Thousand-Year-Old Vampire?" Check my author page!]

The brilliant scoundrel Yu Wenbai died, then was reborn.

She was forced to bind herself to the "Heaven-Sent Violet Star Rebirth System." She had to return to the past, twenty years earlier, mend her ways, start over, and grow into a Violet Star of women's swordsmanship with impeccable character!

Good heavens!

Hadn't she retired during her prime, taken a massive signing bonus to coach in another country, and cultivated a notorious, much-maligned image to break into show business, all so she could make money, gain followers, reach the pinnacle of life, and live like a rich woman?!

Sure, she had a talent for fencing, but the sport was only a stepping stone!

Thinking of the grueling training and torturous competitions, Yu Wenbai went limp like a lazy fish.

Whoever wants to be the Violet Star can have it!

Especially since she had such a great hand from the start this time: a wealthy heiress, naturally beautiful! Four twos and a pair of jokers, a guaranteed win!

Unlike her previous life, when she'd been poor as dirt since childhood, starved of love all her life.

Wait.

As long as she "created" a worthy Violet Star, that would count as completing the mission...

Yu Wenbai, reborn as a stunning, frail heiress, waited until the butler and doctor weren't looking, then snuck through a winding route into the slums.

A skinny, dark-skinned girl in tattered clothes sat on a doorstep, her hands covered in calluses as she pasted matchboxes together.

No money, no one to love her, only a talent waiting to be discovered.

No one understood Yu Wenbai better than she understood herself.

As a child, Yu Wenbai had to paste together 1,000 matchboxes a day just to eat her fill.

She had no idea what the world beyond her little corner was like. She could imagine a better life, but she didn't dare dream of being loved.

Then, when she was ten years and eight days old, just as she finished her 365th matchbox, everything became real.

She didn't even need to strike a match before the person who would save her appeared.

Sunlight fell on her fair skin, making her look like an angel surrounded by a holy glow. The angel bent down and smiled at her. "Little one, have you ever heard of fencing?"

From that day on, the progress bar for the Heaven-Sent Violet Star System split in two. The unruly Yu Wenbai did everything she could to lose points for herself while pushing her other self to earn them.

- She taught her to fence, took her to competitions, and bought her protective gear.

- She taught her to be responsible, told her that honor came first, and encouraged her to pursue greater heights, speed, and strength.

But she got a little too carried away with the act...

And Yu Wenbai started believing it herself.

She would climb to the top again and wear the crown once more.

This time, she wouldn't run away halfway through.

The heroine's main account is responsible for being gorgeous and powerful; her alt account is responsible for suffering.

The heroine's main account will also enter the competitive world. She's the strongest in the story in both skill and looks, and the wish fulfillment is guaranteed.

There is a male lead, a loyal puppy type. Whether he's a cuddly puppy or a wolfdog depends on how awful the heroine is.

There's not much romance, but it will be sweet. If it isn't, come and get me.

[Coming-soon blurb]

Vampires have been extinct for over twenty years. The entire vampire-hunter association is so broke it's down to its last pair of pants, and salaries have stopped. Gan Xin was the last person to earn a vampire-hunter license. After graduating, she was immediately unemployed. She switched careers, working as a chef, an influencer, a cleaner, and even taking the civil service exam, but none of it worked out.

The day before her rent was due and she was about to sleep on a park bench, Gan Xin finally found a new job through a temp agency.

She was hired as a butler for a rich man obsessed with cosplaying as a vampire.

The job included meals, drinks, and a place to sleep (making the bed in a coffin), ensuring that the vampire got enough nutrition and didn't fall for phone scams. She also had to play along with her employer, who was so deep into his vampire role that he'd nearly lost touch with reality.

She decided to play herself: a vampire hunter. Her backstory was that she'd infiltrated the manor of the vampire progenitor on a mission. She had a fantastic time playing out all kinds of scenarios with her employer, and sometimes they even acted out captivity scenes.

Her employer had even sharpened his teeth to play a vampire.

Seeing how dedicated he was, Gan Xin felt she ought to do a better job herself. Vampire hunters had been unemployed for ages, after all. Using silver bullets as props couldn't hurt, could it?

But could someone please explain why her employer suddenly turned into a bat and flew... away?!!!

Thanks for the invitation. I'm at the vampire manor, having just finished arranging a wedding.

This job is a pain, but it's still worth it. My employer might not be the brightest, and his species is a little dangerous, but he's very handsome.

Very, very handsome.

By the way, vampires don't have all the terrifying, supernatural powers people imagine. But in certain areas, my employer really is powerful. Ahem.

All right, they're about to cut the wedding cake, so I'm signing off. I'll post anonymously. Gotta save face.

The phone was taken from her, and a cake knife was placed in her hand.

Her employer, who was over a thousand years old, gently held the butler's wrist.

"It's time to cut the cake, my bride."

The male lead is a vampire who's just woken up after sleeping for over a hundred years, so he's a little out of touch with current trends.

The heroine is a vampire hunter who was trained from childhood but has never seen a living vampire. She's addicted to the internet and goes from a goofball to a consummate professional (on the surface).

No angst. A silly, sweet little romance.

Theme: There is only one true form of heroism in the world.
