Blurb: [The heroine is determined to escape her fate as a stand-in. She gets a second chance at life, only to repeat the same mistakes. Heavens, why?!]

Shen Jiaxue, the Consort Shu who had the emperor's favor above all others, thought she was the apple of his eye. Then the Noble Consort told her that the emperor only liked her because she resembled his unattainable first love. What was she so pleased about?

What? I am proud and aloof, pure and unconventional, as untainted as a chrysanthemum, rising unsullied from the mud. How could I become someone else's knockoff?

Better to be an abandoned consort than a stand-in, so she was banished to the Cold Palace, where she could lie flat.

But even lying flat was hard. After eating the food brought by a palace maid, she suddenly doubled over in pain. Blood streamed from her mouth and nose. She cried, "Poison!" Then her eyes closed, and she died.

Seeing how she had spent her life doing good, the Star Lord of Fate gave her a "buy one, get one free" rebirth card.

When she opened her eyes again, she had crossed into a new era and become a modern woman of the twenty-first century. She was also the beloved wife of Li Chen, CEO of the Li Group, and had a two-month-old baby in her belly.

Li Chen had broad shoulders and long legs. Handsome and rich, he was every girl's dream lover. Though he was a little cold and sharp-tongued, and had a close female friend, Shen Jiaxue could only force herself to accept such an irresistible husband, despite her misgivings.

Only after some time did Shen Jiaxue realize that being a rich man's wife wasn't easy. Her husband didn't care for her, and her in-laws didn't love her.

So what? She had money and a child. What did she need a husband for? She hadn't even been afraid of an emperor before. Why should she be afraid of him?

She stroked her gently rounded belly and murmured, "Baby, it's okay. You don't need a father. You still have Mommy."

From then on, Shen Jiaxue, long suppressed by a patriarchal society, unleashed her social butterfly side. Pregnant and surrounded by her besties, she went out eating, drinking, and having fun. She gave her CEO husband a piece of her mind and tore into the scheming white lotus, determined to try every new and exciting thing the twenty-first century had to offer. She wouldn't let this second life go to waste.

Li Chen found it strange. His formerly aloof and cold wife had disappeared, replaced by a bewitching fox who alternated between giving him a hard time and flirting with him. His heart was starting to itch more and more, completely against his will.

"Watch yourself. Don't hurt my child," Li Chen said, unable to stand it any longer. His heart sour with jealousy, he added, "And don't smile at other men."

So you can have your sweetheart, but I can't go out and enjoy myself? No way!

Li Chen was speechless. Since being tough wasn't working, he tried being gentle. From then on, the domineering, aloof CEO became a little tagalong, carrying his wife's shoes and bags, following behind her and catering to her every whim. He even kept a constant eye out to stop other men from approaching her.

Everyone who saw them would say behind their backs, "Mrs. Li seems like a completely different person. She sure knows how to handle him."

The scheming white lotus was unhappy. "You only look like his first love. Do you really think he loves you? What are you so pleased about?"

What? Did I hear that right? Shen Jiaxue thought she'd escaped her shackles and lived life on her own terms, but in the end, she'd gone and repeated the same old story!

Divorce! I want a divorce!

Blurb for the new novel, My Robot Girlfriend Turned Dark:

Robots don't have feelings!

Who said that?!

Her father hadn't loved her since she was little, and neither had her mother. Fortunately, her System was good at teaching her to comfort herself, so it wasn't that big a deal. She had a heart of steel, after all!

And so, little robot Ding Jia followed her factory settings to the letter, growing up into the school beauty everyone agreed was gorgeous, gentle, and an outstanding student, a shining star.

She wanted to live a quiet, desire-free life, but fate had other plans!

The school heartthrob, the top bully at First High, fell in love with Ding Jia at first sight. Gentle on the surface and scheming underneath, she became the one and only focus of his obsession. He showered her with sweet declarations and domineering advances, all to make her smile.

Ding Jia could only force a bitter smile. She looked at the crowd of onlookers around her, wishing she could sink into the ground, and pleaded, "Please stop coming to find me!"

"Why?" Ji Yanguang asked, unwilling to give up.

"Because... my older sister Ding Rou likes you," Ding Jia mumbled, head bowed. Her voice was soft, and her heart ached.

Before she had time to feel sad, she got home to find her mother waiting for her. With a cold face, she ordered sternly, "Jiajia, I know all about it. There's nothing to discuss. You will back out and let Rou have him."

Why? What kind of justice is that? It's bad enough that you never cared about me, but now you want me to give up the man I love, too?

Well, I won't!

The coward who let everyone bully her was dead. From today on, I am Niu Gulu Ding Jia!

[Seemingly sweet, secretly ruthless robot girl * devoted, scheming school heartthrob]

"Jiajia, don't move." The boy caught Ding Jia's raised hand, stopping her from wiping the white milk stain from her lower lip with her sleeve. He leaned down and kissed her peach-like lips, meeting her startled, doe-eyed gaze.

The girl shuddered, her cheeks instantly flushing. She furrowed her brows and scolded him, "Who said you could do that?"

"This way, your sleeve won't get dirty." The boy wasn't bothered. He smiled, his eyes seemingly filled with light.

A hint of satisfaction crossed the girl's lips. Hah, men~~~ You think you're winning me over by trying every trick in the book, but you don't know I've already got your heart beating in the palm of my hand. I won't be satisfied until you're completely unable to resist me.

Theme: A second chance at life is rare, so being happy matters most.
