My Nemesis Is Damn Sweet

[New novel "He's Not That Well-Behaved" is now underway!]

Nan Sang has had a particularly bad run of luck lately. First, her family's company runs into trouble, then, the night before her wedding, she catches her fiance cheating in bed.

Even worse, her lifelong nemesis, Su Jiangshi, witnesses the whole thing.

The only consolation is probably that her fiance's affair partner is Su Jiangshi's girlfriend.

Nan Sang asks to break up.

Her fiance, pulling up his pants, says, "Think this through. The wedding is tomorrow. Can you find someone more handsome, richer, and willing to marry you in one night?"

"Am I not a person?" Su Jiangshi punches the scumbag to the ground.

*

Su Jiangshi has always thought he likes gentle, refined women. Nan Sang is sharp-tongued, arrogant, and quick to get even with him. She's definitely not his type.

Even after they marry, the two of them bicker constantly and never have a moment's peace.

Then one day, while attending a business engagement, Su Jiangshi runs into a drunk Nan Sang.

She lounges on a soft sofa like a lazy cat, her eyes sparkling like stars as she smiles radiantly at another man.

The allure of that smile outshines all the beauty in the world.

Su Jiangshi takes Nan Sang home and accidentally bumps into the doorframe.

Nan Sang laughs at him without the slightest courtesy. "Are you blind?"

Her drunken voice is soft and melodious. It sounds less like mockery and more like flirting.

Su Jiangshi falls silent for a few seconds. "Yes. I'm blind."

*

Nan Sang thinks Su Jiangshi is the most awful man in the world. She has him saved in her phone as "Su the Dog."

After one particularly wild night of drinking, Nan Sang covers the marks on her arm with a bandage so her best friend won't see them.

Nan Sang brushes her off: "The dog at home bit me."

A week later, her friend remembers and asks with concern, "Has your dog been acting crazy lately?"

Nan Sang covers the new marks on her neck. "Extremely crazy."

Her friend is alarmed. "Then it has rabies!"

Unfortunately, Su Jiangshi happens to overhear as he walks by.

That night, Su Jiangshi pulls off his tie and binds it over Nan Sang's eyes.

Nan Sang: "What are you doing?"

Su Jiangshi leans close to her ear and says in an achingly gentle voice, "Let me show you what crazy means."

Nan Sang: "Help, QAQ"

Upcoming novel 1: "The Sickly Beauty CP Goes Viral on a Survival Variety Show"

Blurb: Hua Wu has just awakened to her own identity when she discovers she is the frail, sickly beauty villain in an entertainment-industry novel. Before she can process it, the System drags her to a deserted island.

She is joined by villains from novels with all kinds of settings, including a Demon Venerable, an assassin, and a future soldier. In short, they're all experts.

They will form teams to compete in a survival variety show broadcast across multiple worlds. Hua Wu is paired with a disabled, wheelchair-bound, deposed crown prince from a political intrigue novel. Netizens give them a very fitting couple name: the Sickly Beauty CP.

Rumor has it that the odds of the two of them surviving to the end of the show are absurdly high across all the worlds.

The show begins, and there is no food on the deserted island.

The other teams go up the mountain and into the sea, showing off all sorts of skills. The Sickly Beauty CP sit on the shore, gazing sadly at their reflections.

Comments: [Are these two going to starve to death in the very first episode?]

Not long afterward, fish and shrimp crash into the rocks at their feet and die.

Comments: [Holy crap! Is this the legendary beauty so captivating that fish sink and geese fall from the sky?!]

In the second episode, the villains enter a haunted house. The CP with the fewest screams gets bonus points.

When the episode ends, the Sickly Beauty CP have screamed zero times: they fainted as soon as they went inside.

Comments: [I'm dying. They really do have great couple chemistry.]

The Sickly Beauty CP become a huge hit. They may be barely hanging on, but they're still here. Netizens ask: How many more surprises are you two hiding from us?

Hua Wu looks at the deposed crown prince beside her. He coughs up blood with every cough, but whenever he appears, the monsters refuse to approach. "I'm curious too."

The deposed crown prince: "If I said I just sprayed too much SixGod and drove them away with the smell, would you believe me?"

Hua Wu: "Like hell I would."

Upcoming novel 2: "Socially Anxious and a Heartthrob After Book Transmigration"

Blurb: Xu Qingli transmigrates into a book.

The original owner has fair skin, stunning looks, and long legs, but she's a villain. She likes to toy with people's feelings and keeps a whole pond of admirers. In the end, she tries to flirt with the male lead, fails, and is left disgraced.

The good news is that when Xu Qingli transmigrates into a book, the original owner hasn't met the male lead yet.

The bad news is that Xu Qingli is socially anxious and a lazy couch potato. She is terrified of dealing with people.

Xu Qingli just wants to become obscure as quickly as possible so the company will let her leave the industry.

At a group event, everyone fights for center stage during the group photo, so Xu Qingli hides in a corner.

The media: She's so low-key. I guess we'll stop criticizing her.

On a variety show, the guests are asked to perform a talent in a busy part of town, but they resist.

The director tries to persuade them: "Every beginning is difficult."

Xu Qingli: "Then why not just skip the beginning?"

The director: "..."

Netizens: She's so funny. Love her!

On set, Xu Qingli's costume gets caught. Too embarrassed to ask anyone for help, she sits perfectly straight in the background for an entire afternoon.

Xu Qingli: This is so mortifying.

Director: She's so dedicated. I'll cast her in my next production too.

Xu Qingli doesn't fade into obscurity. Instead, she becomes more and more popular.

Xu Qingli: Help!

With no way to leave the industry, Xu Qingli decides to try an unconventional approach. According to the book, the company boss, Wen Qiaozhou, has a secret hideout where he keeps things he doesn't want anyone to know about. The original heroine accidentally breaks in and gets banned from the industry.

One dark and stormy night, Xu Qingli sneaks into Wen Qiaozhou's secret hideout and sees... a handsome man fresh out of the bath.

Xu Qingli: "..."

So it really is something he doesn't want anyone to know about.

Xu Qingli forces herself to say, "If I say it was an accident, will you believe me? If you don't, you can lock me up."

Wen Qiaozhou, who has awakened a supernatural ability, watches a [Mmm, yes, mmm, yes] float over her head. He tightens the towel around his waist. "I didn't expect you to be so good at this."

Xu Qingli: ???

Theme: Look at people and things with a forward-looking perspective
