Saving the Beautiful Madwoman [Book Transmigration]

My new novel, The Disabled Director's Unexpected Darling, is currently being serialized. Its blurb is at the very bottom.

*Also known as Even Harder to Placate Than a Grade-Schooler

*Lu Xingning, a kindergarten arts-and-crafts teacher, x Qiao Yuxin, a renowned painter

Lu Xingning transmigrated into a book as the family doctor of a mentally ill painter. She had only one task: cure the female lead, Qiao Yuxin.

In the book, after creating her masterpiece, A Thousand Cranes in a Cage, Qiao Yuxin lost herself in her work and became a complete madwoman.

The first time Lu Xingning met Qiao Yuxin, the painfully thin woman first screamed and shouted, then darted under the bed and curled up like a frightened little beast, baring her teeth at her.

Lu Xingning tried to coax her out from under the bed. The moment she reached out, Qiao Yuxin caught her and bit her like a madwoman.

Lu Xingning got scared and didn't dare approach her again. All she could do was stare at the painting on the wall, folding stars and paper cranes.

In the end, Qiao Yuxin was the one who let her guard down, crawled out from under the bed, and spoke to her first.

When Lu Xingning realized that even when Qiao Yuxin wasn't having an episode, she was so weak she couldn't even be given a sip of water, she understood: the first step to curing her was keeping the female lead alive.

After that, Lu Xingning used the little medical knowledge she had picked up by osmosis in the real world to treat Qiao Yuxin.

She climbed to a 200-meter-high cliff behind the mountain to pick herbs for Qiao Yuxin, day after day, rain or shine.

When Qiao Yuxin couldn't drink, Lu Xingning fed her mouth to mouth.

When Qiao Yuxin was cold, Lu Xingning held her close to warm her.

When Qiao Yuxin couldn't sleep, Lu Xingning coaxed her to the floor-to-ceiling window to look at the stars and taught her to fold paper cranes.

When Qiao Yuxin screamed in her sleep, Lu Xingning kissed her and promised to protect her.

At last, under Lu Xingning's attentive care, Qiao Yuxin regained her sanity.

Lu Xingning's points were also shooting up. She was about to escape the book's world and go back to looking after children, and she was delighted.

But when she turned around, she saw Qiao Yuxin standing barefoot, holding the paper cranes in a clear bottle. Choking back tears, she said:

"Big Sister, here. You can have them all. But could you... please not leave Yuxin?"

------[New Novel Blurb]------

Disabled tech mogul Su Zhi [shou] x warm and steadfast ray of sunshine Ming Can [gong]

Ten-year age gap. The protagonist will recover from her disability later in the story.

Ming Can, a talented computer science student, was saddled with debt after her mother passed away. As graduation approached, creditors chased her all over the place.

With nowhere else to turn, she took a friend's offer to work as a temporary caregiver.

Her employer was named Su Zhi. Rumor had it she was an executive at a publicly listed company, a once-in-a-generation talent who had fallen from grace. She was cold-blooded and difficult to care for.

Looking at the enormous salary, Ming Can gritted her teeth. She'd do it!

She was conscientious, staying by her employer's side day and night and taking good care of her:

When her employer couldn't drink, Ming Can wet a cotton swab and dabbed her lips bit by bit.

When paparazzi surrounded her employer and tried to snap photos, Ming Can rushed in front of the hospital bed and used her own body as a shield.

When her employer's headache struck, she gripped Ming Can's wrist to ease the pain, leaving it bruised and nearly dislocating a bone. Ming Can silently endured it without a word.

But her employer's heart was too cold. No matter how she tried to warm it, it wouldn't melt.

Ming Can: Forget it. I won't push it. I'll get a week's pay and leave!

But before she could collect her pay, debt collectors showed up and beat her within an inch of her life in the hospital room.

She had no money and couldn't repay them. Small and helpless, she curled up in a corner and clenched her teeth, enduring their blows.

The next moment, the utterly cold woman in the hospital bed suddenly beckoned her over. "Come here. Open your payment app!"

*

Director Su had long held a high position, but at the peak of her career she was cruelly targeted, ended up in the ICU, and became paralyzed from the waist down, unable to care for herself.

Proud as she was, she now had to face an endless future stretching out before her.

Director Su gave up on life several times. When she was near death, it was the little caregiver who gave her the last of her dignity.

But somehow, the young caregiver was deep in debt, and creditors came to collect every few days.

Worried about her, Director Su added one line to her final wishes: after her death, all her assets would go to Ming Can.

Yet while Su Zhi lay unconscious through countless nights, Ming Can, who would inherit everything, tenderly lowered her head and kissed her eyes.

Her tearful lashes trembled slightly.

She said, "Big Sister, don't sleep. Stay with Cancan for a few more days."

Bonus scene:

On the day the truth behind the layoffs was made public, Director Su appeared in her wheelchair outside the tech company's headquarters, surrounded by reporters.

Reporter: "Director Su, after enduring so many misunderstandings, you must have felt terribly wronged. What belief helped you make it through that dark period? And will you continue to treat your subordinates with the same sincerity in the future?"

In the past, Su Zhi wouldn't have deigned to answer such a question. But now, all her attention was on her subordinate Ming Can, walking toward her. A warm smile tugged at her cool lips.

"I don't feel wronged." She looked at Ming Can. A few seconds later, she answered the reporter's second question. "I will, but from now on, I'll only be good to one person."

Theme: If your life is still in darkness, please wait patiently. The person bringing light is surely on their way to you~
