Your Heart Is as Steadfast as Iron

Upcoming novels: The Supporting Male Lead Is a Tea-Drinking Master and I Help His Majesty Ascend the Throne

Novel blurb:

Su Ying is an utterly rational person. But after transmigrating, she becomes a willful young lady from a prominent family who pesters men relentlessly.

After failing to break off her engagement, Su Ying decides to take a different path. Since she has to be tied to Wei Xi, she might as well work hard to become a wealthy and respected wife.

She tries every way she can to change Wei Xi's opinion of her, but she absolutely refuses to give him her heart.

*

Wei Xi detests Su Ying, especially her constant pestering.

But as he gradually grows used to it, he discovers it was all an act. His wife doesn't love him at all, and her heart is as hard as stone, impossible to sway.

The Supporting Male Lead Is a Tea-Drinking Master

Jiang Chuqing transmigrates into a book, and the System tells her to win over the gentle, devoted supporting male lead, Li Xingyu.

Gentle? Devoted? Isn't that just the textbook example of an outstanding graduate of the School of Good Husbands? Jiang Chuqing figures it shouldn't be too hard.

But the moment they meet, he kills her with a single sword strike.

Only then does she realize that this supporting male lead is ruthless and vicious, not someone to trifle with.

So she works hard to play her part, pretending to be pure and kind in hopes of winning his favor and changing him for the better.

She thinks she has it in the bag, but it turns out he's pretending too, and his act is far more convincing. He's a true master of tea-drinking arts.

After he sees through her act, Jiang Chuqing simply gives up trying. But on the Nth day of her attempts to win him over, the tea-drinking master drops his act.

Li Xingyu's long hair falls loose, his eyes wild with madness, while his fingers stroke her face with endless tenderness. He murmurs, "Everyone else has left. Are you going to leave me too?"

Jiang Chuqing blinks. I can answer that, as soon as you move the dagger away.

I Help His Majesty Ascend the Throne

Jiang Li transmigrates into an angsty novel, and the System wants her to help the gentle, harmless, kind-hearted supporting male lead claim the throne.

You've got to be kidding! The original male lead is ruthless and scheming, and this supporting male lead is as bland as an extra. He doesn't have a single one of those "excellent qualities" like being moody, sinister, or devious!

System: He doesn't have any? You can change him.

Jiang Li: Teaching someone to be bad? I'll be struck by lightning!

System: Then do you still want to live?

Jiang Li: Come on, let's learn how to frame someone today.

Feng Xu has suspected since childhood that the Minister of War's daughter might have something wrong with her head.

For instance, he was happily playing in the imperial garden when she suddenly told him to jump into the pond. When he refused, she pushed him in.

Or how she tried to coax him into eating poisoned food, saying she had an antidote and he shouldn't be afraid because the poison wouldn't kill him. She claimed it was all for his own good, and when he refused, she secretly slipped him poison anyway.

And then there were the strange things she would suddenly produce and make him take to his father to curry favor, insisting his father would be utterly amazed by them. Feng Xu felt that if he actually brought them before his father, he might be banished to the cold palace on the spot.

So Feng Xu, who had once wanted nothing at all, suddenly felt that danger lurked everywhere in life and that the slightest misstep could cost him his life. He began developing into an all-around talent, just to prevent the neurotic "madwoman" from catching him off guard.

Years later, looking at the man before her, Jiang Li sighed with satisfaction. I really do have a talent for teaching people. The little white rabbit I knew is finally a big bad wolf, thanks to my training.

Feng Xu shot her a sidelong glance. You might have some misconceptions about yourself.

Theme: True affection can always be found in this world. There is no absolute boundary between reason and emotion.
