Blurb:
Zhou Qingyang, a workaholic from the 21st century, never imagined she'd get swept up in the transmigration craze one day, let alone end up in a cultivation world.
She was so busy working herself to the bone that she never had time to read a certain green novel, so she had no idea she was about to get the script of a "master seducing her disciple".
Ten years later, as Shen Xiquan's sword pierced her heart and sent her tumbling off a cliff, Zhou Qingyang thought, So much for cultivating immortality while falling in love. That never ends well.
She thought she was done for, but Heaven had given her more than one extra life. Looking at her new body, Zhou Qingyang fell into deep thought...
To hell with tragic romance! I'm getting revenge!
Unfortunately, on her very first day out of the valley, a romantic calamity came crashing down on her. A mischievous, capricious young lady latched onto her and followed her all the way to Shouyang Mountain, right to Shen Xiquan's feet.
Fine! I'll go into seclusion for ten years, maybe eight. With a divine spirit root like mine, surely I can avenge my murder!
"Hey, a new star courtesan is performing at the pleasure boat east of town. Aren't you going?"
"Everyone in town is drinking Daughter's Red and watching drum opera for the Lantern Festival. Are you going to see the lanterns or not?"
"Spring's here. Let's go down the mountain and fly kites."
At first, Zhou Qingyang was all: I just want some peace and quiet!
Later: Huh? Aren't we going out today?
She had no choice but to eat her words and keep dating.
Revenge... can wait a little longer.
That little while passed, and her girlfriend was gone.
Staring at Shen Xiquan, whose expression was changing like a madman's, Zhou Qingyang asked in a daze, "Where's my girlfriend? Where's my enormous girlfriend?"
A two-way identity reveal story. Shen Xiquan is the young lady.

Upcoming novel:
The Lovey-Dovey Version:
For the first thirteen years of her life, Liang Chengyu rang temple bells, dug wild vegetables, and greeted people with "Amitabha" or "Such is the goodness of it."
Then, in the eleventh year of the Huaihua era, famine struck the city, and her master sent her out to beg for alms.
Pingcheng was bustling, and a young woman in a restaurant was singing Kunqu opera in a lilting voice.
Liang Chengyu crouched in a shack, chewing leaves. She touched her bald head, overwhelmed by sorrow.
She sobbed as she begged, but when she opened her eyes, someone had tossed her a string of copper coins.
"Little master, don't cry. Hide the money, and you won't go hungry."
The elegantly dressed girl fluttered away before her like a butterfly. Liang Chengyu was stunned, only managing to remember her chestnut-brown eyes.
They met again in the imperial palace.
The nun, Master Liang, had become Princess Chengyu, favored by the Empress Dowager. Looking down at the group of companions with their heads lowered, she spotted the young benefactor from six months ago at once.
"A Ran, come help me figure out what this line of poetry means." Liang Chengyu turned the pages with an earnest expression, while under the desk she hooked her benefactor's little finger.
Xiao Ran leaned against her shoulder and recited, "I play with green plums by the low wall, while you ride a white horse beneath the drooping willows..."
Her breath brushed Liang Chengyu's neck, making the skin there burn.
"Childhood sweethearts, Your Highness. Would you like to give it a try?"
Liang Chengyu blushed and stiffened like a board. "How do we try...?"
The girl looked gentle and composed. She lightly touched the princess's lips with one finger, drawing closer and closer
Then she said, "When we're grown up, your future husband can try it with you."
The Trouble-Making Version:
As a child, Liang Chengyu was a nun with worldly desires. She either dreamed of meat and wine or pined for the beauty she'd glimpsed beneath the mountain.
Later, she became a princess and got even worse. Fine clothes, delicious food, and worldly pleasures held no appeal. She only had eyes for the throne.
Still, no matter what fantasies she indulged in, she had to act pure and chaste in public.
Then one day, her imperial grandmother closed her eyes and placed the Tiger Tally in her hand. "You've kept up the act long enough. You can finally let your guard down."
Liang Chengyu closed her hand around the Tiger Tally and, for the first time, felt as if she held her own fate in her grasp.
(Break free from the confines of fate. A princess who doesn't want to be emperor isn't a proper princess. A song for turbulent times, with wine and beauty by her side.)

Theme: Stay optimistic and live life to the fullest
Why did this end feel so rushed? I didn't even see these two people making love to each other. In the finale, I didn't even hold hands or even kiss once.
Caught off guard! I am still immersed in the grief of losing the eldest lady!
I thought everything had ascended to other worlds. Is this the rhythm of rebirth?
Finished spreading flowers, but still feeling a little confused
I've finished reading ~ The ending is very satisfying. Since the second rebirth, the two of them have spent too little time together. Most of the relationship development is in memories. The plot can be connected together but it doesn't feel memorable. The characters are three-dimensional but maybe the length is too short and it doesn't feel real. But I like the details very much. The character's personality is well reflected. I also like the description of the scene. Thank you very much for the author's creation. See you in the next article~
It's great that Rong Rong found her Zhou Zhou
It's so spicy after watching this! Very well written! Maybe it's because it's the author's first book. I read it in one go, so I may feel that the plot is not very smooth. I write a piece here and a piece there, like writing prose. The main line of the story is not very clear, and the plot does not feel like it is advancing layer by layer. But I still like this book very much. Come on!
Rong Rong's original soul consciousness has returned to the master, so this Rong Rong is also a brand new Rong Rong, right?
A dream-like ending... I always feel that there should be good sunshine at the end
It's almost over. Except when they first met, they have never been sweet. Ugh, it's so bitter.
