Blurb for this novel (not a wish-fulfillment story):

Lu Jiajia transmigrates into a fantasy romance novel called "The City Lord and His Beauty." She is neither the heroine nor a supporting female character, but a cannon-fodder passerby.

To save her life, she somehow ends up as a sidekick to the protagonists.

While the hero and heroine admire flowers and the moon, wrapped up in romance, she serves them tea and water without complaint. Wherever the city lord and his beauty go, she goes too.

She was determined to become invisible, but was forced to serve as a thousand-watt light bulb.

To win her freedom, Lu Jiajia resolves to fight back and carefully plans her escape.

However, on the night she tries to flee, she discovers that the supposedly devoted male lead has been faking it all!

Worse, she gets saddled with a huge black mark and somehow becomes a brainless cannon-fodder character with an unrequited crush on the male lead.

The candlelight flickered as he spoke, seemingly drunk: "You coveted this city lord's good looks and have been in love with me for ages. Jealousy drove you to murder, and you accidentally..."

Lu Jiajia: "...I didn't."

He tightened his grip on her wrist. "Be good, and I'll spare you."

"..."

What happened to the devoted male lead?

-----Coming soon: "The Merciless Sword Cultivator Is a Little Sweet"

Tian Tao transmigrates into an angst-filled xianxia romance novel as a little peach demon. She is riddled with poison and won't live much longer. To survive, she has to help the Demon King pursue the heroine.

But in the original story, the hero and heroine are a perfect match, madly in love. The Demon King is the perennial second-place loser, who gives everything and still ends up alone.

Especially since the male lead is aloof and proud, nicknamed the Merciless Sword Cultivator. After meeting the heroine, he falls deeply in love and goes mad with passion, killing anyone who stands in the way of their romance.

Getting the second male lead together with the heroine is going to be tough.

But with her lifeline shrinking by the day, Tian Tao declares, "Helping someone pursue their goddess is a piece of cake!"

So, despite being single for twenty years, Tian Tao becomes a love guru, advising the Demon King on all sorts of ways to woo the heroine while nipping the protagonists' romance in the bud.

The hero and heroine meet in the wilderness, and one glance is enough to captivate them.

She intercepts the hero halfway, pretends to be weak, and takes a cold bath with him to waste time.

The hero and heroine cultivate together in a secret realm, and their feelings grow warmer.

She teams up with the hero, pushes him to cultivate, and takes the opportunity to explain a hundred dangers of falling in love.

The hero and heroine are trapped in a perilous situation, and come to understand and love each other.

She drops from the sky and takes the hero's place in rescuing the heroine, forbidding him from showing off his charms.

After all that effort, the hero and heroine really do grow distant and lose their spark.

But then, unexpectedly, the Demon King has a fight with the heroine, and they fall out.

Even more terrifying, rumors spring up from nowhere and spread everywhere, claiming she has a crush on the hero.

The Demon King accuses her: "You used me as cover because you like pretty boys. That's so disloyal!"

The heroine watches the show: "Don't be shy. I saw right through your little crush ages ago."

The gossiping crowd: "Ooh, a woman pursuing a man! How moving!"

Tian Tao: "?"

Unable to defend herself, she grabs the hero. "Quick, explain this!"

The hero wipes the blood from his sword's tip with his long fingers, then raises a bewildered, innocent face. "Are they wrong?"

Core message: Work together to create a better future.
