What Do I Do If My Love Interest Is from the Underworld?

Here's a preview of my upcoming novel, "As a Rich Beauty, I've Decided to Win People Over by Being a Bitch." Synopsis below. Is there anything more miserable than being reborn into a world crawling with cursed spirits and monsters? There is: Zenin Yingqi has neither cursed energy nor spiritual power! Zenin Yingqi: On one side, onmyoji are liable to drop dead at any moment; on the other, jujutsu sorcerers might keel over at any moment. I only survive because my Heavenly Restriction gives me a ridiculously thick health bar! Seemingly useless but actually ferocious, Zenin Yingqi successfully topples a bunch of trash men and takes the throne, becoming the first head of the family with a Heavenly Restriction. She and her love interest start out trying to kill each other, then fall in love. But one careless move later, Brain tricks her into falling into a dark Honmaru, where she subdues a group of sword spirits. By the time she catches her breath and returns, her lover has been sealed away. All twenty of his fingers have been cut off and sealed, and his remaining soul is taken away by a friend to be nurtured. Zenin Yingqi: You son of a bitch! Brain, just you wait! I won't rest until I've tossed you into a hot pot and boiled you! I'm the only one allowed to chop up my man! A thousand years later, a pure-hearted high school boy swallows a Special Grade cursed object, slicks back his hair, and laughs triumphantly. "Hahahaha! Moonlight is so much better when you experience it in person! I'm finally alive again..." Zenin Yingqi arrives just in time, covered in blood from killing the trash boss, and flashes a radiant smile. "Well, well, you bastard. It's only been a few days, and you've already fallen this far?" *Reader's Guide* 1. My logic is dead, my original settings are mountainous, and I'm a total beginner. Any OOC is my responsibility, so please don't compare it to the original work. [Bows in apology] 2. The timeline is chaotic and spans a long period, so please don't scrutinize it. The author will do their best to fill in the details. 3. The pairing is set: it's the King of Curses. The female lead is a ruthless realist. Please read with an open mind. Mwah~ Here's a preview of my new novel, an experiment with a new style: "As a Rich Beauty, I've Decided to Win People Over by Being a Bitch." My name is Zenin Naoko, the most esteemed legitimate daughter of the Zenin family! Born at the very top of the jujutsu world, I've had a practically perfect life: money, beauty, a cursed technique, and genius-level talent! Some people say I'm arrogant and overbearing. So what? I'm rich and beautiful. Those sour-tongued men aren't even fit to carry my shoes. All I have to do is shop and look gorgeous. There's nothing money can't solve. And if there is, then I just don't have enough money! Then some white-haired delinquent pins me to the ground and beats me up. I'm furious, but there's nothing I can do. He's the Six Eyes, and I can't beat him. So I put up with it, because not only can I not beat him, he's also richer than me! Then some cousin of mine with no cursed energy pins me to the ground and beats me up, too. I blow my top. I'm richer than him, and I have more cursed energy! This is absolutely unacceptable! I'm furious, outraged, and want to hit back, but I still can't beat him. How miserable! So I've made up my mind. I'll take the unconventional route and infiltrate the enemy's ranks! I'll conquer the world by being a bitch! Shoko: Reverse cursed technique is, you go whoosh-whoosh, then pew-pew-pew, and finish with a few beep-beep-beeps. It's really simple. DK5: ? Shoko, could you speak like a normal person? Me: You're so lame. Aren't you the strongest? How can you not even use reverse cursed technique? Shoko, you worked so hard to teach him. You must be so exhausted, having to deal with such an idiot. Let me take you shopping~ I'm not like those lousy men. I care about you the most, big sis~ Shoko: Oh? Me (whipping out a gold card | black card | diamond card): Pick whichever one you want. I'd be so happy to spend money on you, big sis~ DK5 and DK Geto: ??? Why is this green tea act so intense? Megumi's mom: Toji, don't hold Megumi while you're holding a spatula. Megumi will be uncomfortable. Give him to Naoko-chan instead! Househusband Toji: ? Since when did you two get so close? Me: You're so lame~ You don't even know how to hold a baby, and you call yourself the Tyrant of Heaven? *Sobs* Yui-nee, Toji's glaring at me. He's so scary. It's not like I mind, but what if his clumsy hands hurt you or Megumi? I care about you and Megumi the most, Yui-nee. Come home with me, Yui-nee! I'll take good care of you and Megumi! Megumi's mom: Naoko-chan is so thoughtful! Me (opening my wallet to reveal a stack of cards): A good woman like you should be swiping cards all day, Yui-nee. Toji, can you even manage that? If you can't, I'll do it! Househusband Toji: ...? Natsume: Not all yokai are evil. Some of them are kind, too. We shouldn't condemn them all! Jiba: Oh? Then you haven't seen the dark side of the world. Yokai are just tools. Me: You're so lame~ You need to use yokai as tools because you have no power of your own. And you call yourselves a family with a hundred years of tradition? This is it? None of you shikigami users are any good. Unlike me, I'm kind-hearted, beautiful, and don't persecute adorable little yokai. Natsume, don't hang out with that one-eyed dragon. You'll never make any money with him. Come with me, and we'll make a billion in three days. Natsume: Naoko-nee, you really don't have to go that far. Me (tossing out a checkbook): Say, how much will it take for you to disappear from Natsume's sight? I'll be honest: you're not good enough for him. None of you shikigami users are any good. Jiba: ? Geto, who just got roasted: I feel personally attacked. Thanks. When Geto heard that a classmate from one of the Three Great Families was coming, he was looking forward to meeting her. He'd heard she was a girl. Surely she wouldn't have the same awful manners as Gojo! After witnessing and suffering through Naoko-chan's tea-sipping, bitchy harassment... Geto: I get it now. None of the Three Great Families are any good! This world is beyond saving. Let's destroy it! Gojo: Geto, you have to make a sacrifice. Aren't you a Cursed Spirit Manipulator? Go tame that monster! Geto: ? I'm out. I'll be the first to die. Later, when the adorable students asked why he was with Naoko-chan, Geto took a long drag on his cigarette. Geto: I didn't want this either, but she really offered me too much! *Reader's Guide* 1. My logic is dead, my original settings are mountainous, and I'm a total beginner.

(That's right, I like messing with honest people.) 3. Unless something unexpected happens, the story will be told in first person. This is my first attempt at a first-person narrative, so please be gentle if anything feels off. QAQ Theme: Courage born in desperate circumstances can turn the tide against all odds.
