Off the Rails

[Important Announcement] Starting tomorrow, this novel will switch to a paid format from Chapter 17 onward. If you've already read it, don't buy it!

Mu Shi transmigrates into a book, becoming the love-struck villainess in a sci-fi romance novel.

The villainess is the crown prince of the Empire: willful and spoiled. After falling in love with the male lead at first sight, she pursues him relentlessly, to no avail. In the end, he executes her to vent his anger, and the Empire falls into his hands. What a tragic ending.

When Mu Shi transmigrates, she is standing in a dim dungeon, holding a riding crop. The male lead's bare upper body is covered in whip marks, and his hands are chained to the wall. He glares at her, enduring the pain and hating her, while syringes and vials of medicine lie scattered at his feet.

...Damn, can I reload and start over? Young man, let me explain!!

Mu Shi turns over a new leaf and starts behaving like a decent person. The citizens of the Empire are delighted to discover that their usually dissolute and overbearing crown prince has grown up overnight. She no longer indulges in wine and women, but instead devotes herself to government affairs and cares for the people. She might as well have the words "Pillar of the Empire" carved into her forehead.

Just as the whole Empire is celebrating, one person is still unhappy: the sinister, ruthless young general. He watches the crown prince's window, still lit late into the night, and finally waits until several ministers reluctantly leave the council chamber before going inside.

Mu Shi is completely absorbed in her paperwork when she feels a pair of strong arms wrap around her waist from behind, warm breath brushing her cheek.

The young man nips at her ear like a little wolf cub, half dissatisfied and half aggrieved as he asks, "Why don't you come see me anymore? Don't you like me now?"

My next novel will be The Death of That Obsessive Alpha. If you're interested, click through to my author page and add it to your collection. Here's the blurb:

In a future world divided between Alphas and Omegas, even the most accomplished Omegas seem to have only one path open to them: return to the home, support an Alpha, and raise children.

On the day eighteen-year-old Jiang Zhou presents, she receives an admission letter from the police academy. Sitting at her desk from sunset until sunrise, her knuckles white from clenching her fists, she finally makes two important decisions.

Inject herself with fake Alpha serum, and kill that Alpha.

Years later, Jiang Zhou has become a space police officer. While pursuing rioting criminals in a place of exile, the serum wears off, and the intoxicating scent of midnight roses, unique to Omegas, blooms in the darkness.

Her body, weakened by years of fake Alpha serum injections, is on the verge of collapse. In a daze, Jiang Zhou feels the pheromones of familiar pinewood shamelessly teasing her, while cool fingertips press against the gland at the back of her neck.

The demon who should have died on that midsummer night murmurs intimately in her ear, "I've finally found you, my Omega."

The smiling general Gu Fuli has three legends attached to his name.

The first: Gu Fuli is breathtakingly beautiful. A beauty mark sits beneath his peach-blossom eyes, and his delicate pink lips form dimples when he smiles. He draws crowds wherever he goes, leaving burly soldiers dumbstruck when he first enters the army. Women adore his peerless beauty, while men feel ashamed by comparison.

The second: Though born into a lowly family, Gu Fuli is a formidable cavalry general. With a mere blade in hand, he can take on ten men; with an army at his command, he can repel a thousand. He has led his troops through hundreds of battles without a single defeat, reclaiming every territory his iron hooves reach.

The third: The smiling general Gu Fuli is the eldest princess's loyal dog, and also a vicious hound at her side. Anyone the princess hates is his enemy, and anyone she wants dead becomes a soul beneath his blade.

The world mocks him for having no ambition, willingly making himself a lover and serving a woman. Only Gu Fuli remembers that bitter winter, when the eldest princess brushed a fingertip across his lips and softly asked, "Come with me. I'll take care of you, all right?"

The eldest princess bought his freedom from the Red Sleeve Pavilion, where people were devoured without a trace. She washed the rouge from his face, took off his silk clothes, taught him to read, and let him train on the drill grounds. She even gave him a new name. From that day on, he climbed out of the mire and became the eldest princess's "Gu Fuli."

Not even a beauty worth a fortune, nor broken bones ground to dust, could make him forget: once he entered the princess's residence, he would forever be the princess's Gu Fuli.

Pairing notes: Female lead is not a virgin; male lead is. The second male lead's pursuit of the female lead ends in spectacular failure.

Theme: Sincerity matters more than anything.
