A Cloud over Mount Wu

A preview of my upcoming novel, The Paranoia Line

Highlights:

1. Set in a futuristic interstellar world. Everything is fictional.

2. The author's writing is average, and she has no brain. This is for entertainment only, so please don't overthink it.

3. A has everything an A should have, and there are heaps of personal worldbuilding choices. If you can't accept that, don't force yourself. Muah!

4. Both are pure. The Omega's reputation for being a flirt is fake, but her wicked heart is real.

As a major general in the Federation and one of the rarest top-tier Alphas in the galaxy, Qi Jingyan is the dream Alpha of countless Omegas.

So when news broke that she was engaged to an Omega from the Chu family, famous for being a flirt, everyone was shocked and utterly thrown off balance.

When Qi Jingyan approached her, Chu Nanxu remained cool and businesslike, acting as though she had agreed purely for the benefits.

“Major General Qi must have no shortage of Omegas who like her, so I hope you'll give me some freedom in that regard as well,” the cool-faced Omega added, without a blush or a hint of embarrassment, to their agreement.

Qi Jingyan concealed all her possessiveness in her eyes. She said nothing, simply nodding in agreement.

At first, Chu Nanxu was absolutely certain that she had agreed to a marriage of convenience with Qi Jingyan solely to gain something from her. Later, she deeply regretted adding that clause to their agreement.

She could only rack her brains trying to seduce Qi Jingyan, hoping to make their marriage official in more than name.

But whether she sashayed around in sexy pajamas or “accidentally” went into heat in front of her, Qi Jingyan remained a perfect gentleman, concerned only for her health.

Chu Nanxu gritted her teeth and finally snapped, “Qi Jingyan, are you impotent or something?”

Later, as she lost herself in the moment, Chu Nanxu thought: Qi Jingyan is very much potent.

Here is the blurb for this novel:

Key points: 1. I'm a newbie with weak writing skills. The plot comes first, and the characters' values don't necessarily reflect the author's.

2. Some plot points might not make much sense. The setting may take inspiration from the Tang Dynasty, but it's an alternate world! An alternate world! An alternate world! Most of it is my own invention, so please don't nitpick or argue with me. If you do, you're right.

3. The protagonists aren't exactly good people. Their relationship starts out as one of keeping someone captive and using them, so it's sex first, love later, and things move pretty fast.

The blurb's a mess, but bear with me.

In her previous life, Gu Yunhuai was unloved by her father, lost her mother young, and endured humiliation until she died full of resentment. She never imagined she would be reborn before the tragedy began. This time, she would never again let her so-called family control her and leave her with such a miserable fate. She would use every means necessary to climb to the top and destroy the entire Gu family!

So she set her sights on the only legitimate princess of the Great Jin, Her Highness Haoming, a princess of unmatched status.

If you wanted to use someone else to kill your enemy, then this princess, rumored to be unruly, spoiled, uneducated, doted on, and fond of beauty, was undoubtedly the perfect weapon.

So Gu Yunhuai planned every step and deliberately got close to her, hoping to trade her looks for leverage. Instead, she walked right into the wolf's jaws, fell into its trap, and lost her heart.

One-on-one. The princess is the pursuer, and there's some scheming for power, but not much, since the author has no brain.

Theme: I'll lead you out of the mire and into the light.
