Junior Sister, You're So Strange. Let Me Take Another Look

(A goofy, adorable, completely unserious sweet romance. The author's other novel, Why Is My Junior Sister Always Like That?, is now available.) Here's the blurb: Chu Yu is an unlucky transmigrator who ended up in a second-rate role. But she cheerfully makes the most of her greatest advantage: The original novel's male lead is a heaven-defying chosen one who can do anything he wants, but right now he's just an illiterate. She'll become his junior sister and bask in his luck to extend her life. The original novel's villain is destined to become the Demon Emperor, but right now he's a clueless novice who only wants to sow seeds everywhere and ruin the cultivation world's bloodlines. She'll trick him into becoming her senior brother and secure connections in the demon realm. There's just one hitch: she accidentally made a bloodline oath with the original novel's tragic, short-lived cannon fodder, and things are getting a little ambiguous. The villain can also turn into a flower. He's as beautiful as an immortal, but all he ever says is, "I will preserve my purity for the sword path. My heart is as clear as ice, and I won't allow it to be defiled." Chu Yu nodded perfunctorily. "Mm-hmm, got it. I'll keep our mission in mind and never forget our original purpose!" It took her a lot of effort, but she finally coaxed him into joining her at a major sect so they could make it big together. * From the day he was born, Pei Xingzhi was entrusted with a great responsibility by his family. From the age of three, he held a sword and trained through the bitterest winters, while diligently studying all sorts of classics. At sixteen, he became the next head of the Pei family. Fierce as the morning sun and with a bold, unyielding bearing, he defeated countless young prodigies with his sword and was about to become the next Holy Son of Yezhou. But he never expected that it was all a lie. His identity was fake. His training was fake. He was nothing but a weapon, used to fight for power. When he was close to death, Pei Xingzhi tugged at the black collar he'd worn around his neck since childhood. Only then did he learn it wasn't a protective artifact, but a soul-shattering curse device. If he took it off, his soul would be destroyed. He lowered his eyes in humiliation. "So they raised me like a dog. A dog that bites." The girl's warm hand touched his collar. "Senior Brother, this is kind of hot! It's really popular these days!" "Senior Brother, I stayed up all night making ten thousand collars. I'm selling them at the Couples' Pleasure Shop for a thousand spirit stones each! One for everyone!" "And I forgot to say the most important thing. Senior Brother, I really love this! It's so forbidden and exciting. Your pale skin looks perfect with a black collar! You look the best wearing it!" Pei Xingzhi: "..." [A goofy quartet's journey together, from the moment they meet until the end.] [An energetic, clever transmigrator second-generation sweet girl x a male lead who seems cold and aloof at first glance, but gives off the air of a tragic melon by the hundredth] (The blurb has been heavily revised. If you don't like this version, feel free to save it for later!) The next novel is now available: Why Is My Junior Sister Always Like That? Male lead's perspective: Qi Heng had a miserable time from the moment he was in the womb. His mother fed him abortion medicine every few days, leaving him frail and sickly when he was born. After birth, he was abused, underfed, and poorly clothed. He'd cough up a bowl of blood every few days. At long last, he found an opportunity and embarked on the path of cultivation. Then he was carved up for his flesh and blood, his heart and liver ripped out. The shocking secret: eating his flesh and blood could grant ascension. Locked in a dark room, he was carved up every day to feed the entire sect, until he died. But his soul would not perish, and he fell into demonic cultivation on the spot. After turning demonic, he was seen as a disgrace by the cultivation world and relentlessly hunted down. In the end, he died in the great war between immortals and demons. Then Qi Heng transmigrated into a brand-new cultivation world, where he was destined to be an unparalleled villain. He sneered. Every day, the first thing he did after waking was stir up trouble. He had three whole books of plans. Then... "Senior Brother! I heard the Peach Blossom Cove has a new peach blossom wine today. It's so smooth! Come on, let's go have a jug!" She dragged him down the mountain to drink. It was his first time drinking, and he wasn't used to it. He got drunk on the spot and caused a scene with his junior sister. The next day, his master punished him by making him face the wall and reflect. "Senior Brother, I heard a new clothing shop just opened in Yongcheng. Their dresses are so ethereal. Come shopping with me!" He sternly refused, but his junior sister wasn't intimidated by his cold expression at all. She dragged him along to try on clothes, and somehow he ended up spending every last coin he had. The next day, he had no money to repair his sword. "Senior Brother, you get up so early every day. You work so hard. Come on, we don't need that exam-oriented education stuff. The most important thing is to enjoy cultivating." That same junior sister! His second junior brother was about to catch up with him in cultivation, and he was frantic, but she was still pulling him aside to say things like this! The next day, he missed the best time to break through, when spiritual energy was at its strongest. So why is his junior sister always like that? Female lead's perspective: Wu Tingyan thought her senior brother was a real headache. He looked gentle and harmless, but was actually a solitary oddball. He was also always pale and sickly, and if he overdid his cultivation even a little, he'd cough up blood and pass out. And yet he had been given the role of a troublemaking villain. More importantly, the plot of this world needed him to stir up trouble. But he had to stay alive before he could cause trouble! Wu Tingyan was deeply worried. She had no choice but to keep him alive first, though their first few encounters hadn't gone well: The first time they met, she got caught making a mistake and immediately knelt before him. She'd thought being polite never hurt! The second time, they didn't even meet, but she made him cough up blood and pass out, leaving him buried in the snow for a whole day. The third time, she gave him a cheat sheet and got him caught cheating. But it didn't matter. He was easy to fool anyway. . At last, one day, the plot reached: [Qi Heng's demonic identity is exposed. The Kunshan witch commits a grave crime and offers her neck to the executioner's blade. The righteous sects rise up against them.] As the Kunshan witch, Wu Tingyan went to her death in peace. They had finally reached this point. A light rain fell that day. Kunshan was engulfed in flames. Qi Heng rushed thirty thousand miles across a mountain of corpses to reach her, his black robe stained with blood. With a wave of his hand, vines wrapped tightly around Wu Tingyan. But his smile was gentle and harmless. "Junior Sister, when you said we'd enjoy cultivating, were you lying to me?" Well... not exactly! #Goofy sweet romance. There wasn't enough room for the other members of the main cast in the blurb, so I put them under the supporting cast.
