[Recommended: My friend Mian Baixiang's completed novel, The Cannon Fodder Heroine and the Big Villain Get Their Happy Ending. The blurb is below. Feel free to check it out if you're interested.] [Preorder for my next novel: My Green-Tea Nemesis Is Actually Sweet on Me] Blurb: Shen Guiyan transmigrates into a cannon-fodder supporting female character in a female version of a story about a powerful, heaven-defying protagonist. She dies right at the beginning. You think that's as bad as it gets? It gets worse. Because the System is late, Shen Guiyan doesn't find out what the novel is about until her third rebirth. The System looks at Shen Guiyan, who has died three times and is utterly haggard, and says with little confidence, "Sorry... Our laid-back System will make sure you stay away from the plot, live out your life in peace, and never have to die again." Shen Guiyan remains expressionless for a while, then suddenly smiles and shakes her head. "No. Let's destroy everything together." System: "..." Eep, my Host has gone crazy. How scary. From then on, Shen Guiyan, determined to take the System down with her, goes wild in the cultivation world, turning the plot into a complete mess. The System watches helplessly as she goes from cannon fodder to everyone's darling. The original story's gentle and refined male lead stands before Shen Guiyan, eyes reddening as he asks why she's avoiding him. The charming and amorous young sect master of the Hehuan Sect reforms his ways to marry Shen Guiyan, even offering to marry into her family with all the wealth of his sect. The compassionate and noble Buddha's chosen stains his hands with blood for Shen Guiyan, asking only to keep her safe. The ruthless and calculating young master of the demon clan drops to one knee, willing to bow to Shen Guiyan. Just as Shen Guiyan finally gives up on the idea of taking everyone down with her and prepares to enjoy life, she closes and opens her eyes, only to find herself locked in a small room. The cold and dignified Immortal Venerable has dark eyes. He gently strokes her cheek, his voice brimming with affection. "From now on, A Wu, will you look only at me?" Shen Guiyan swallows, glances at the two silver chains, and obediently nods, knowing which way the wind blows. "All right."

Before she turned eighteen, Tang Nian was renowned throughout the cultivation world as a heaven-blessed prodigy. Not only was she stunningly beautiful and of noble birth, she was also a rare natural spirit body, hailed as the darling of the Heavenly Dao. But Tang Nian, reborn, knows that she is merely the vicious supporting female character in a tragic romance novel. The male lead, Lin Xiyu, is the chief senior disciple of the cultivation world's greatest sect. Cool and dignified, he has already been chosen as the next sect master. He gives all his tenderness to the innocent and lively junior sister, and the two are a perfect match in every way. As the fiancée chosen for him by their families, Tang Nian becomes the villain who gets in their way. Whatever she does, everyone sees it as an attack on the poor, fragile junior sister. The junior sister's halo never fades. She is always innocent, and Tang Nian is always guilty. When the junior sister is accidentally injured, Lin Xiyu pulls her into his arms with concern and glares reproachfully at Tang Nian, his voice icy. "I'll marry you, but I have never loved you." Looking at the perfect couple before her, Tang Nian suddenly smiles. She doesn't explain herself, and a glimmer of tears passes through her eyes. It seems everyone has forgotten that Lin Xiyu and Tang Nian were once childhood sweethearts, a match made in heaven. Tang Nian loved Lin Xiyu for ten years. Then she died on the day she was to marry him. That day, the protective formation around the imperial capital was breached, and countless streams of demonic energy rampaged through the city. In a wedding dress as bright as fire, Tang Nian did not even look at Lin Xiyu. She sacrificed herself and vanished into nothingness. Her soul scattered too quickly for her to see Lin Xiyu lose control and rush toward her, leaping into the Demon Abyss without hesitation. * When she opens her eyes again, back at the age of eighteen, the first thing Tang Nian does is break off her engagement to Lin Xiyu and tear away the male and female leads' hypocritical masks. But why has Lu Xiangyang, the great villain everyone feared in her previous life, not only forcibly taken her as his disciple, but also started looking at her strangely? * Lu Xiangyang once saved a little girl. She was sweet and gentle when she smiled, completely unafraid of him. She tugged at his sleeve and said with a grin, "Big brother, have some candy." During those lonely days, when he wandered alone and sank into a dark mire, she gave Lu Xiangyang the only sweetness in his life. When they meet again, the little girl has long since forgotten him. Looking at Tang Nian, now grown up, her eyes full of earnest determination, Lu Xiangyang thinks that the little girl he rescued naturally belongs by his side. 2. Lin Xiyu thought Tang Nian was just throwing a tantrum. Breaking off their engagement was only a ploy to make him chase her; sooner or later, she would come back. But the moment he sees Tang Nian smiling happily and leaning on someone else, panic and helplessness suddenly sweep over him. As a flood of painful memories slowly returns, Lin Xiyu finally understands what he has lost. In the pouring rain, the Immortal Venerable who was once revered by all kneels at her doorstep for three days and nights, his body gravely wounded, but he never again receives so much as a scrap of pity from her. The seal collapses once more. Lin Xiyu stands on a cliff, his robes fluttering in the wind. He looks at Tang Nian, eyes reddening, and smiles with both acceptance and reluctance. He once loved someone, but he was the one who lost her. The last thing he can do is give her and the person she loves an era of peace and prosperity. *The main couple are mutually devoted. The second male lead has his dramatic redemption arc but can't win her back, and his ashes are scattered instead. [Blurb for my new novel, My Green-Tea Nemesis Is Actually Sweet on Me] Everyone in the Three Realms knows the newly crowned Demon Emperor, Ji Yan, has noble blood, stunning looks, and a ruthless nature. Her cultivation is unfathomably powerful, and she has even taken Shen Xiu'an, a prodigy of the cultivation world, as her disciple. Reborn Ji Yan: A textbook winning life. Until the day... A child who looks remarkably like Ji Yan falls from the sky and, in front of everyone, hugs her leg and calls out in a clear little voice: "Mom!" At the same time, a familiar, arrogant laugh echoes in Ji Yan's mind. "Ha ha! Bet you didn't expect that! My Trouble-Making System is back!" "..." On a dark and stormy night, the Trouble-Making System declares, full of ambition, "I used my retirement fund to buy everything in the shop, from zombie viruses to interstellar battleships. Whatever you want, I've got it!" "...How much did you buy?" The Trouble-Making System smiles shyly. "A tiny little bit." Ji Yan: ...Let's destroy everything. * Knowing just how powerful the System is, Ji Yan decides to lie flat and enjoy life. But she never expects Shen Xiu'an, her nemesis in her previous life, to start looking at her strangely and making the occasional green-tea remark. The gentle young master of the Medicine Valley comes to the demon realm in person to negotiate a partnership with Ji Yan. Shen Xiu'an lowers his lashes. "This disciple knows he doesn't have as many friends and admirers as others. My heart belongs to my master alone. I only want to make you happy and treat you well." The young master, a flirt who has everyone wrapped around his finger: "..." The chosen child of fortune, selected by the Heavenly Dao, invites Ji Yan on an outing. Shen Xiu'an asks innocently, "I hear Your Excellency is already engaged, and the number-one courtesan is your confidante. Will they be joining us on this outing?" The fickle child of fortune: "..." The Trouble-Making System, having seen through it all, holds a green-tea drink and sighs. "Green tea really is delicious!" * Shen Xiu'an made a name for himself at a young age. Beautiful and refined, with a gentle temperament, noble origins, and a rare cultivation constitution seen only once in ten thousand years, he is recognized as a genius throughout the cultivation world and voted the man female cultivators most want to marry. When the new Demon Emperor ascends the throne, the cultivation world places its hopes in him and sends him to the demon realm as a spy. In the end, he vanishes without a trace. Until, at the Three Realms Conference, everyone sees Shen Xiu'an following the Demon Emperor, tugging at her sleeve and saying pitifully, "Master, please be gentle with me." Everyone: "..." Shen Xiu'an: Busy pursuing someone. Do not disturb. * On the surface, Shen Xiu'an is gentle and dignified, but deep down he is cold-hearted and arrogant. He never expected anyone to become the object of all his greed and longing. The day he learns Ji Yan wants to choose a consort, Shen Xiu'an's eyes turn dark. His alluring peach-blossom eyes brim with temptation as his large hand grips her waist. He lowers his head and kisses her collarbone reverently, his voice husky and tender. "May I offer myself to you?" Theme: Even in adversity, never give up lightly
