Did You Pluck My Leaves?

Rewriting in progress... Schedule unknown The apocalypse. Yu Chi got separated from his group while searching for supplies. On the brink of death, he found a green plant. With no food, he ate its leaves and relied on it to struggle back to the base. After he returned, Yu Chi replanted the leaves that had saved his life in a flowerpot. That very night, everyone at the base had the same dream. In the dream, a tiny sprite with green leaves on its head chased them around, furiously demanding, "Was it you who plucked my leaves? Was it you who plucked my leaves?" The next morning, everyone woke up listless, their eyes glazed over. This went on for half a month. Then the base leader, who had just returned, appeared before them. Sitting conspicuously in the pocket on his chest was the culprit who had been keeping them from getting a good night's sleep. Little Leaf had been growing just fine on her own patch of land. But one day, someone suddenly yanked her out by the roots, and she lost consciousness. When she opened her eyes again, she found that she had only a few pitiful leaves left, and a handsome man was looking down as he watered her. Little Leaf had two things to do now: 1. Find the culprit who plucked her leaves and punish him severely! 2. Properly thank the handsome man who watered and fertilized her. Later, Yu Chi took her outside. Little Leaf glared ferociously at every single person. Except for Yu Chi, every one of them looked like the culprit who had plucked her leaves. Next novel's blurb: After Ding Ning died, the System dragged her into an interstellar world to work. The System wanted her to bring an end to this chaotic era and establish a new order. Once her mission was complete, she could fake her death, escape the shackles of fate, and regain her freedom. Ding Ning rubbed her hands together: It was time to let the people of the stars experience the charms of The Art of War! Along the way, Ding Ning picked up a stubborn little brat. The brat was stubborn and adorable, and Ding Ning could always wrap him around her finger. In the end, once she'd had her fun, she sent him off to the military for training, then promptly forgot all about him. When the final battle arrived, Ding Ning let her guard down for a moment (on purpose) and fell onto a perilous insect planet. At this critical moment, she prepared to sacrifice herself heroically for the battle (fake her death). But a young officer jumped down after her without a moment's hesitation. Both of them were badly injured, and the young officer lost consciousness. ...This was the future emperor Ding Ning had the highest hopes for. Ding Ning cried as she tried to save him. "I've spent so long raising you. You can't die now." "You never even looked me in the eye before. What possessed you to save me today?" "Wake up! My world can't go on without you!" The young officer opened his dark eyes, his gaze filled with an emotion Ding Ning couldn't understand. He asked, "You can't go on without me?" Ding Ning froze. Then she nodded. If he died, wouldn't she be stuck with the job of being emperor... The young officer grabbed Ding Ning's hand and held it tight. "You never remember my name, you abandoned me, and you left me to fend for myself in the military... But hearing you say that is enough." Ding Ning: ... Could there be some kind of misunderstanding here? They escaped the insect planet, won the final battle, and Ding Ning's mecha exploded in front of everyone. Her fake death was a success. Afterward, she went into hiding under an assumed name and started a mecha repair business in the slums. She also picked up another little brat to raise. But this brat wasn't exactly well-behaved either, turning the whole slum upside down. By then, the great Emperor of the Empire had finally tracked Ding Ning down. At their first reunion, His Majesty stepped his noble foot onto the dust-covered floor. Nearby, someone had grabbed the little brat, who was baring his teeth and thrashing wildly. The Emperor glanced at the brat and said coolly, "So you like them a little wild." "I can be like that too." "..." Chapter One of the Founding History: General Ding Ning took one look at the young Emperor and adored him. She kept him by her side and personally tutored him. Chapter Seventeen of the Founding History: His Majesty distinguished himself in the army and began to make a name for himself. To protect him, General Ding Ning could not acknowledge him. She didn't even dare look at him for long, and could only miss him secretly. Ding Ning angrily tossed the book aside. "What kind of garbage is this?!" The devoted Emperor who finds sweetness in everything VS the naturally scummy, ill-tempered female general. There's quite a big age gap. Interstellar people can live to be two or three hundred years old. The heroine isn't a good person. She's awful to the hero, but he still throws himself at her. If that's not for you, don't read. This isn't a realistic novel. There are no love rivals; they are each other's one and only. Theme: Love life
