After Becoming a Heartless Woman, the Male Leads Hunted Me Down

Please add my upcoming novels The Emperor's Sister-in-Law's Devoted Suitors and The Villainess Crashed and Burned After Flirting with the Final Boss to your collections! Their blurbs are at the very bottom. Please support them, lovely readers!

Blurb:

Chen Nian accidentally transmigrates into an otome game, where the domineering prince, ascetic priest, upright general, and adorable puppy-like boy all fall for her.

Before she can enjoy the fun of being a player, a bug in the System reveals to the male leads that she's been stringing several of them along at once. Their love turns to hate, and they start hunting her down.

Domineering Prince: If I can't have you, I'll destroy you.

Ascetic Priest: I'll keep you locked by my side forever.

Upright General: I never thought you were so fickle and faithless.

Adorable Puppy: I want to be the only one in your eyes, Sis.

Chen Nian howls at the sky: Is there not a single man in this world who doesn't love me?

System: There is. The final boss is the mad beauty Xie Liang. But he's your rival in love.

Chen Nian clings to Xie Liang's leg and sobs: "Lady Xie, save me! Your men are trying to kill me!"

The mad beauty replies sarcastically: "Then shouldn't I give them a hand?"

Later, Chen Nian sacrifices herself to fix the bug, and everyone gets a new story.

Only Xie Liang visits her on every anniversary of her death, sitting by her tombstone to burn incense or drink a flask of wine.

Until five years later, when Xie Liang lifts the lid of her coffin and discovers it's empty.

The mad beauty gives a cold laugh.

A new round of pursuit begins.

A few notes:

1. The male lead is straight and isn't really her rival in love.

2. One-on-one, goofy and sweet romance.

Upcoming novel: The Emperor's Sister-in-Law's Devoted Suitors

Qin Luowei transmigrates into a life of luxury. Her family is powerful, she's beautiful and intelligent, and her betrothed is none other than the crown prince.

She could have lain flat and enjoyed life, but a rebellion suddenly erupts at the border and the crown prince goes to war with the army. He returns gravely wounded and utterly changed. In public, he's noble, gracious, and righteous. In private, he coils around her like a snake.

His occasional venomous looks always remind her of someone else: the Prince of Chu, the crown prince's younger brother, who died on the battlefield during the rebellion.

Late at night, the ghost of the Prince of Chu comes to her in dreams, confessing the love and longing he could never express while alive.

"Sister-in-law, which of us brothers do you really love?" In the Crown Prince's residence, beneath perfumed curtains, the man whispers against her ear. She can't tell whether it's real or a dream.

On the day of the wedding, beneath a phoenix crown and red candles, with embroidered silk all around, the man lifts her veil. Qin Luowei goes pale at the red mole beneath his phoenix eyes.

"You deceived the emperor, murdered your brother, and committed every evil under the sun. I won't let you take the throne." She drives a poisoned gold hairpin deep into his chest.

His bewitching, captivating eyes brim with tears of blood. He cups her face and gives her a reverent kiss. "I don't want the throne. I want you, Sister-in-law."

Content warnings:

1. Old-school melodramatic angst.

2. Not angsty, and no groveling redemption arc.

Upcoming novel: The Villainess Crashed and Burned After Flirting with the Final Boss

Xiao Jiangyan transmigrates into a novel with a heroine's story, becoming a wicked concubine-born daughter. Her father doesn't care for her, her mother doesn't love her, and everyone bullies her. After an accident, she makes a contract with a ghost in the manor.

Twelve nights in exchange for a lifetime of peace and safety.

The murderous ghost becomes her shadow in the dark, protecting her as promised.

The maid who tried to kill her is found dead in the wilderness.

The cousin who bullied her has both eyes gouged out.

The madam who tried to sell her falls gravely ill.

Later, she defies fate and marries into the prince's manor. On her wedding day, the novel's villain, Cheng Jie, shows up uninvited, breathtaking in red.

The entire household is slaughtered. Amid the flames, he scoops Xiao Jiangyan into his arms and carries her into the bridal chamber.

Blood flows like a river outside, while inside the room they cling to each other in a passionate struggle.

She bites his shoulder and curses him fiercely. "Cheng Jie! After what you've done to me, I'll never let this go!"

Cheng Jie's lips twist into a savage grin, but his eyes are full of love.

"You've got everything you wanted. Now it's my turn."

From the male lead's perspective:

Cheng Jie is a notorious menace. As the adopted son of the Marquis of Zhenyuan, everyone fears him, and everyone looks down on him.

Only that little concubine-born daughter of the Duke's mansion treated him differently.

He still remembers that dark, windy night of murder, when he went to the river to sink a corpse. The girl handed him an axe and smiled with seductive charm.

"Well, Young Marquis, do you kill people yourself? Want me to help you dismember the body?"

Knowing how badly she was treated and how hard it was for her to survive in the Duke's mansion, he became a ghost and made a deal with her.

Those absurd twelve nights were hazy and intoxicating, like a dream. Boundless tenderness stirred in his heart, and he wanted to win everything she yearned for.

But if she got everything she wanted and then abandoned him, he would take it all back.

He followed her into the hell of slaughter. How could he stand by and watch her leave alone?
