The Real Heiress Doesn’t Care at All

Story blurb: In her senior year of high school, Xu Yizhen was told that she wasn't her parents' biological daughter.

Her biological parents were powerful figures from one of the most prominent families in City A.

But her so-called biological parents didn't welcome her. They were certain she'd be desperate to return to their wealthy family.

To everyone's surprise, she refused to go back to the elite household.

Fake heiress: "She's pretending to be above it all. She must be trying to humiliate me."

Wealthy parents: "She's putting on airs. Is she trying to slight us?"

Wealthy older brother: "She's too greedy. Is she trying to play hard to get?"

Xu Yizhen: "Huh? Are they talking about me?"

After suffering a crushing defeat in the first round, the fake heiress resolved to use her dreams of the future to bring Xu Yizhen down.

But it seemed the future wasn't set in stone.

Xu Yizhen grew more and more successful, sailing smoothly through life and becoming someone the fake heiress could never surpass.

Meanwhile, the fake heiress made a fool of herself day after day.

The resentful fake heiress: "Don't get too pleased with yourself. One day..."

Xu Yizhen: "Do we know each other?"

Xu Yizhen had always cared only about her studies, but unexpected changes kept coming.

At sixteen, she chose studying over romance.

Only she knew that the boy's sorrowful expression stayed etched in her heart for years.

At twenty-six, she faced the same choice again.

She thought, "Only children have to choose. This time, I want both."

Next fantasy romance: "Eat That Piece of Tang Monk Meat"

Blurb:

1. Once upon a time, there was a deserted island called Liubi Island, with a Taoist temple on it.

A young Taoist nun named Liubi lived in the temple.

Every day, Liubi loved to wait by the shore and trade supplies with passing ships.

Over time, some people grew greedy and tried to claim the island, which seemed to be overflowing with resources.

In the end, everyone who went up against the island returned empty-handed.

Before long, the waters around it gained a fearsome reputation, and passing ships dared not go near.

Now, with no supplies left and her plans to develop the island on hold, Liubi had no choice but to set aside her grand ambitions.

Then a ship appeared by the shore once more.

Qin Yue had a body like Tang Monk's flesh, and everyone wanted a bite. He never expected that the ones who would betray him in the end were his closest family and friends.

When he came to his senses, he had been reborn in his youth.

In this life, Qin Yue was determined to wrong the world rather than himself, and to turn the Taoist sects upside down.

There was only one person in the world who didn't covet him: the world's bug, Liubi, the future Demon King.

She trampled the Taoist sects underfoot and beat the Ghost King to a pulp. She was a forbidden existence everyone feared to speak of.

But at this point, she was still a wild girl living on a deserted island.

2.

Liubi thought another shipment of supplies had arrived, but things didn't go as hoped: there were no supplies aboard the ship.

Instead, she picked up a human.

He was weak and pitiful and needed protection. Liubi, who had always been alone, decided it might be nice to have a pet for company.

So she went out to sea to protect her pet.

*

Just as he'd planned, Qin Yue won Liubi's trust and coaxed her out to sea. He took care of her food, clothing, and lodging, doing everything he could to please her and make sure she was comfortable. He even succeeded in making her the one he obeyed without question.

There was just one exception: when Liubi said one, he wouldn't dare say two.

One day, Qin Yue, so used to doing whatever Liubi told him, couldn't help wondering:

How had he, who had meant to use her, ended up giving himself away instead?
