++++++++++++++++++

When Shen Yuan met Su Jin again in his previous life, she was the current prime minister, while he, once known as the most eligible young gentleman in the capital, had fallen to rock bottom and become a singing performer on a pleasure boat.

After his performance ended, someone bought his freedom and sent him to the Su residence.

Su Jin respected him and treated him with kindness, giving him a roof over his head and all the warmth in her heart. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper for her, but before he could confess his feelings, Su Jin died.

Shen Yuan took his own life for love, only to return to when he was fifteen.

At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.

Clenching his teeth, Shen Yuan threw all his reserve aside and came up with every possible way to coax and charm her each day.

The colder Su Jin was, the more he took the initiative.

He wasn't afraid of being laughed at. He only wanted to marry his wife as soon as possible, take her hand, and never let go for the rest of their lives.

The first time Su Jin saw Shen Yuan, he was returning from flying kites with the Fifth Princess.

The young gentleman smiled, and she caught a glimpse that took her breath away.

From then on, she couldn't stop thinking about him, yet she didn't dare look at him for too long.

She never expected that after just a few days apart, he would act as if possessed, leaving the Fifth Princess behind and finding all sorts of ways to be kind to her.

Su Jin's heart tightened. Could this be another new trick he'd come up with to tease her? But when she looked into those phoenix eyes, her heart softened again. Never mind. Let him tease her if he liked. She loved having him close.

Even if it was all an act, she would gladly accept it.

[Preorder] My Wife Cultivates the Ruthless Path [Matriarchy]

Qiao Li transmigrated into a book.

As a female side character who cultivates the Ruthless Path, she is in charge of the library at Tianji Mountain. After being corrupted by demonic energy, she accidentally takes advantage of one of her own outer sect disciples, causing him to turn evil and fall to the demonic path in the future.

Right now, a young man sits beside her, his face red from crying.

Qiao Li, who has just transmigrated into the book: "..."

#I swear it wasn't me. Do you believe me?#

Yu Zhiheng was born with the bones of an immortal and the heart of a demon. When he sneaks into Tianji Mountain, he finds Qiao Li in the middle of her demonic transformation. Taking advantage of her muddled state, he deliberately makes her believe that they are already married.

But Qiao Li is known for cultivating the Ruthless Path. To make his act convincing and gain access to the heavily guarded library, Yu Zhiheng has no choice but to play the part of a devoted lover.

During a sect mission, he is badly injured and nearly unconscious. In his delirium, he hears her mumbling beside him: "Oh, is this osmanthus cake?"

The young man's eyelids twitch. He tries with all his strength to say something.

Then he hears Qiao Li analyze the situation: "Master likes sweets. No wonder Junior Brother protected this packet of osmanthus cake so carefully, even though he was badly injured."

Yu Zhiheng, who nearly chokes on his own breath: "...What?"

In the illusion, his eyes are covered and he cannot see. The person who comes to save him clearly carries Qiao Li's scent.

But everyone says it was his master.

He looks at Qiao Li, confused, but she smiles warmly at her other junior brothers.

It isn't until that night, when she falls into demonic possession again because of him, that things change.

The young man doesn't hesitate in the slightest. Instead, he casually adds another layer of wards outside the room. His bright, clear eyes brim with laughter, as if he has embraced the greatest treasure in the world. "A Li, a fake romance should become real in the end."

Second preorder: The Little Mermaid Offered as a Sacrifice to the Gods [Matriarchy]

Shi Wu is the last god in the world. She protects humankind, but also has the power to destroy the world. Legend says that when the malice of humankind becomes overwhelming, Shi Wu will perish and remake the world.

Now that wicked people hold power, they seek to preserve their own prosperity by offering the most virtuous and beautiful thing in the world as a sacrifice: a mermaid.

The little mermaid cannot speak. His silver tail is mottled with blood, and he lies feebly at the bottom of the pool, looking as though he won't live much longer.

It is then that Shi Wu hears his faint thoughts.

The gods are merciful and grant every wish.

At first, whenever the little mermaid receives simple food, he shows his gratitude by crying as hard as he can, then stringing up the little pearls and carefully placing them on Shi Wu's altar.

Gradually, he wants more and more. He wants a pair of human legs, a name, and... to see her.

But Shi Wu doesn't need his little pearls. The little mermaid thinks it over, blushes, and hugs Shi Wu as she appears to grant his wish.

After all, he belonged to her from the beginning.
