Li Zhao will always remember that morning. Her adoptive mother sat on the leather sofa at home and spoke gently, but what she said chilled Li Zhao to the bone: "Zhaozhao, Mommy is pregnant. Could you stay away from this family from now on?"

She wasn't upset. The Li family had raised her for sixteen years, treating her like she was invisible the whole time. She knew all of this was only borrowed, and one day she would have to pay it all back.

So she took the initiative to transfer to a semi-boarding key high school.

The school had a century of history and an excellent reputation. It was one of the top schools in the province.

Most importantly, the dormitories and cafeteria stayed open all 365 days of the year. She didn't have to go home even during the New Year.

All she had to do was study hard, get into college, find a job, and then repay the Li family every cent they had spent raising her.

But she never expected her life to change beyond recognition after that.

Before a study period, the top student sitting in front of her was halfway through explaining a problem when he suddenly pulled out a compass, his expression grave. "There's demon energy to the south." Then he grabbed a peachwood sword and dashed off.

During class, the retired teacher who had been rehired was late. When they asked about it, they learned that the Gates of Hell had opened on Ghost Festival, the underworld was short-staffed, and the teacher had gone to work part-time as a ghost bailiff.

During a placement test, the proctor confiscated the crude magic circle the student beside her had set up on the desk. "Don't summon Einstein to help you cheat."

Even the seemingly reliable Chinese class representative slipped her some dried fish while leading morning reading, whispering, "This is a specialty of Atlantis."

And then there was her deskmate, a handsome Azure Dragon (or so he claimed). In the morning, he tied a red string around her ring finger. In the afternoon, he produced a golden arrow from who-knows-where and prodded her back with its cotton-soft tip, asking nervously, "How is it? Do you feel anything?"

Li Zhao: "Give me a break. I just want to go to school in peace."

A lighthearted, sweet little story

1. The heroine isn't insecure or submissive. She's an optimistic, confident ray of sunshine who spreads positive energy.

2. There's a little bit of a everyone-loves-her plot.

3. The setting is completely fictional, and all the worldbuilding is made up. East and West come together, with both old-fashioned and modern elements.

4. Any quotations will be credited.

My next novel, Bound to a Young Evil God from the Start, is open for follows! Here's the blurb!

Cosmic horror + mastermind behind the scenes. Please support this gloomy, straight-haired black cat girl.

*

After being kidnapped and returned home, Xu Qian, the unloved adopted daughter of the Xu family, became even gloomier and more taciturn.

They assumed her psychological problems had gotten worse, so they bullied her even more.

No one knew that catastrophe and misfortune were quietly invading the world, that the natural order was changing, or that the apocalypse was about to arrive. Even fewer knew that Xu Qian had bound herself to a Young Evil God Development System during her kidnapping, becoming the young evil god's first and most special apostle.

A cult altar that inexplicably appeared in the school's abandoned underground garage. Howling winds sweeping across the globe, with agitated screams carried on the gusts. A night that lasted an entire week. The omnipresent buzzing of moths. A gigantic, eerie eye slowly opening in the sky.

Eerie, eerie, eerie...

And through the fog that followed the eerie phenomena, a thin, pale figure seemed to emerge. Tentacles soft as curtains rested gently on her shoulders, covered in strange, indescribable patterns. Standing at the end of time and the world, she gave the pendulum of fate a gentle push.

"You have descended into this world."

"Congratulations on completing the mission: The Beginning of Calamity."

Few people knew that during the kidnapping, the Xu family had actually refused to pay the ransom and told the kidnappers to kill Xu Qian.

With nothing to show for their efforts, the kidnappers stabbed her dozens of times in a fit of rage. As the blood drained from her body and she slowly grew cold, collapsing wearily into a pool of blood, she felt a gentle breeze brush her face like a curtain. For a brief moment, she sank into a warm, eternal serenity and watched the kidnappers die screaming, as if they had seen a horror too terrible to behold.

At that moment, she swore that she would offer herself to Them with her own hands, even if all she had to give was her soul.

A story written purely for my personal tastes. I love gloomy women with long, straight black hair.

1. The heroine is an apostle created by a new god for itself. She can be considered an individual, like an external brain. At the beginning, she has a cognitive impairment.

2. There is extensive original worldbuilding for the cosmic horror setting. The early story features modern urban supernatural events, while the middle and later parts jump back and forth between different dimensions of time and space. Time is not linear.

3. This is a romance with a male lead. Their relationship is more like that of a subordinate and a superior, and there aren't many overtly romantic scenes, but the feelings are mutual.

Theme: Strive for a beautiful life
