The Demon Lord Seduces the Leader of the Righteous Path [GB]

[The new GB novel next door, Scum A, is updating now! A warm, oblivious heroine x a sharp-tongued, devoted hero who has secretly loved her for ages. A sleep-first, love-later story. Come on in, everyone!]

The ancient great demon Mu Jiujie died horribly in a siege by the righteous sects. Reborn by chance years later, she was hailed as the Demon Lord by a whole crowd of disciples and descendants who had appeared from who-knows-where, and asked to unite the demon realm.

Mu Jiujie thought she might as well do something with her time. But once everyone had assembled, she discovered that of the four generals under her command, three were spies sent by other Demon Lords, and the last one was a spy from the righteous path.

Mu Jiujie: ...Unite what? To hell with it. Let it all burn.

As she lay flat and let the days drift by, she gradually realized that Ning Huai, the little spy from the righteous path, was kind of interesting. He circled around her every day, was unbelievably obedient, and would even risk his life to protect her whenever trouble arose.

So Mu Jiujie would tease him now and then, waiting for the day he showed his true colors.

When that day finally came, Mu Jiujie realized with a start that this man was no minor underling of the righteous path. He was the greatest figure in the righteous world, and the very person who had killed her in her previous life.

Thinking of how badly she had treated him, ordering him around, teasing him at every turn, and even taking him as her lover, Mu Jiujie was struck dumb with panic.

But when she tried to run, Ning Huai stepped in front of her and slowly drew his sword, closing his eyes. "If you hate me, you can slash me, stab me, or even kill me."

"Just... don't leave me."

-A beautiful, powerful, tragic, easygoing heroine x a quiet, exceptionally obedient, devoted puppy of a hero

-A story about a heroine who lies around until she unites the demon realm and becomes its Demon Venerable, then brings home a Demon Venerable's consort

The ongoing novel next door, Scum A Turns Out to Be Me [Female A, Male O], blurb:

Lu Yu thinks her nemesis, Xie Zhen, has been acting strangely lately.

Xie Zhen is an iron-willed, cold-hearted A, and her biggest rival at the company. He has a sharp tongue and is always giving her the cold shoulder and making snide remarks. But lately he's changed completely. Not only has he stopped targeting her, he's started bringing her food, and even smiled at her once.

Then one night, while Lu Yu is enjoying an adult night out at a bar, Xie Zhen rushes in with red-rimmed eyes and grabs the hand she has extended toward a pretty boy. "You clearly said that day... Were you lying to me?"

Lu Yu: ...What?

After that night, Xie Zhen starts going after her twice as hard, his expression cold enough to freeze someone to death. The whole company thinks one of them will have to leave.

But Lu Yu gradually begins to remember what happened during her previous heat, and recalls Xie Zhen, flushed and beneath her, asking, "Do you really like me?"

As an A who gets carried away in the heat of the moment, Lu Yu immediately launches into a torrent of passionate declarations, then turns around and forgets the whole thing.

Lu Yu: ...Holy shit. What the hell did I do?!

Am I supposed to take responsibility, or take responsibility, or take responsibility?!

-The oblivious, straight-as-a-rail female A heroine, Lu Yu x the cool, sharp-tongued male O who pretends to be an A, Xie Zhen

A melodramatic substitute romance, coming soon: Marrying in My Brother's Place [GB]

On the night of chaos in the imperial capital, Yun Zhihuan, the second son of the Yun family, was causing trouble at the night market and nearly got caught on the spot by Tang Anlan, commander of the Imperial City Guard.

At the last moment, Yun Zhihuan drew a beauty mark beneath his eye and pretended to be his kind-hearted, widely admired twin brother, Yun Chuxiu, successfully escaping trouble.

He saw that Tang Anlan seemed quite fond of Yun Chuxiu, so he repeatedly impersonated him from then on, enjoying all the perks.

But he also found it increasingly hard to bear that, when they were making love, Tang Anlan gazed at him with such tenderness while calling him by his brother's name.

Finally, on the eve of the day Tang Anlan was about to use her achievements to request an imperial marriage decree, when everyone was talking about the beautiful love story of Tang Anlan and Yun Chuxiu, Yun Zhihuan could take it no longer. He barged into the Tang residence, grabbed the startled Tang Anlan, and kissed her through his tears. "Look carefully. I've always been the one in front of you! I'm the one you love!"

From the heroine's perspective:

Tang Anlan had long since decided to devote her life to her country, but then the love of her life appeared out of nowhere. Her beloved was perfect in every way: gentle, virtuous, and considerate. The only problem was that their memory was poor. They couldn't remember the time they'd spent together, and often got jealous of themselves.

Only on the eve of the imperial marriage decree did Tang Anlan realize:

The beloved who was proper and reserved by day, but bold and uninhibited at night, was actually two different people.
