My Lady Tries to Kill Me Every Day

Kind-hearted, genuinely clueless big sister [A] vs. beautiful, pretending-to-be-innocent little viper [O]. Trash = total garbage

Ling Yan died, then came back to life. [Farming story]

Good news: She transmigrated into a book. [Slow-paced]

Bad news: She'd never read this book. [Very long]

After dying and coming back as the legendary Heavenly Alpha, Ling Yan went from being single her whole life to having a wife and daughter, instantly becoming a winner at life. The only problem was that her predecessor had been a compulsive gambler. Her family was dirt poor, and she was on the verge of starving to death.

Good news: Her wife, Qin Sheng, was gorgeous. Exactly her type!

Bad news: Her wife, Qin Sheng, was a viper with a heart of poison. This dish bites back!

Her life came first, so Ling Yan decided to keep her distance from the little viper.

The two wives went about their own business, earning money and supporting the family. Ling Yan thought they could keep living in peaceful coexistence.

But she never expected centipedes to hold meetings and venomous snakes to gather for dinner in their home. One poisonous creature after another would turn up dead after a casual encounter with Ling Yan, ready to be served on the spot.

Ling Yan carefully kept herself alive, until one day she awoke from a dream to the sound of someone sharpening a knife beside her ear.

Little Viper: A Yan, get up and take your medicine.

Ling Yan: ...Huh?

Also known as Qin Sheng and Her Useless Alpha. Weak A, strong O, no accessories, a child, and lots of original worldbuilding.

A lighthearted, everyday farming story.

Reader advisory (things I want to flag):

1. This is a farming story, a farming story, a farming story. It's not romance-focused, and mostly revolves around plot and everyday life.

2. This isn't a wish-fulfillment story or a female power fantasy. The pacing is slow, the identities are revealed slowly, and the relationship progresses slowly. There are 23 free chapters, enough to give readers who don't enjoy this kind of story time to decide if it's for them.

3. At first, there is no sweet romance, only layers of murderous intent. Both characters are innocent in their own ways, so enter with caution.

I've always believed that hatred can't be put aside just because someone says a few nice words. By the logic of this story, after Qin Sheng was brutalized to that extent, it makes perfect sense that she would fixate on killing her sworn enemy. Ling Yan agreed to take the blame as part of her deal with the System, accepted it without complaint, and worked hard to keep living.

Only by spending day after day together and seeing Ling Yan's efforts and sacrifices can Qin Sheng let go of her hatred, realize this Ling Yan isn't the Ling Yan she once knew, and gradually be moved by her pure kindness.

For Qin Sheng, who has suffered so much that she hates everything, this can't happen overnight. If she suddenly learned that her sworn enemy was an outsider from another world, or if Ling Yan told her herself, she would only feel that fate was playing a cruel joke on her, triggering a breakdown and sending things out of control. That would be an extremely bad outcome for Ling Yan.

Given Qin Sheng's ruthless character and the story's plot, I thought an everyday-life approach was the most logical way to resolve the conflict and let the two of them join hands and make it to the end.

The System, the character profiles, and the various storylines, including Gu Jingzhi and Shen Qinglan, all help support the overall narrative. They guide Ling Yan as she settles into the world of the book, gets back on track, uncovers Qin Sheng's secret, and grows strong enough to stand by her through thick and thin.

All things considered, I think I've explained clearly enough why the story is slow-paced.

Finally, I won't take writing advice. You're free to come and go without letting me know. There are countless great yuri novels out there, and I hope everyone finds one they love.

Taking the whole family along: After Sacrificing Myself for the Moonlight Empress, by Xiumu Hui. A very daring supernatural story.

Taking the whole family along: Binary Products, by Li Cang. A very daring infinite-worlds story.

Taking the whole family along: The Villainous Junior Sister Keeps Trying to Get Me, by He Bu Kun. A very daring cultivation story.

If you think this one's too short, dear readers, feel free to check out my older stories and the three books by my friends above!

Theme: Keep moving forward through the storm.
