After a Little Fledgling Tried to Scam Me

Yun Sheng is a cannon-fodder character in an old-school tragic romance. Whenever the hero and heroine play their game of cat and mouse, a few innocent bystanders always get caught up in it and end up dead or injured. To live a long and peaceful life, Yun Sheng does her best to stay invisible and keep her distance from the leads. She lives like a carefree slacker, and her days are pretty pleasant. Until one day, while exploring a secret realm, she accidentally knocks a bird's nest out of a tree, and a chubby little bird tumbles out. The moment it sees her, the little bird bursts into tears in a babyish voice. "Mommy, Qiuqiu has been looking everywhere for you! It was so hard to find you!" Yun Sheng: "??? Wait, calm down. I'm human and you're a monster..." The little bird: "Qiuqiu's butt really hurts. I must have hurt it when I fell!" Yun Sheng: "???" With no other choice, Yun Sheng takes home the little bird, which has clearly decided to play the helpless victim, and raises it as her own daughter. No need to panic, it's only a little bird. She can afford to raise it! On the day their sect invites Daoist Lord Feng Jiuyan to lecture the disciples, Yun Sheng brings the little bird along to mooch food and drink. Hiding in a corner, she eats while stuffing spirit fruit into her storage pouch. She turns her head and sees the hero and heroine at odds again. Alarm bells ring in her mind, and she grabs the little bird and makes a dash for the exit. But she's still a step too slow. The sword spirits of both sides come hurtling toward them with overwhelming force, filling the sky. Yun Sheng thinks, It's over. My turn has finally come... The little bird suddenly shouts, "Daddy, how can you still be eating all by yourself at a time like this?!" Before its babyish voice has even faded, the flashes of swords and blades stop at once, and the Daoist Lord's graceful figure appears before them. Before Yun Sheng can make sense of it, Qiuqiu hops away again and scampers onto the Daoist Lord's table. It lifts a plate with its little wings, then patters back to Yun Sheng and sets a ten-thousand-year spirit fruit in front of her. "Mommy, eat!" Yun Sheng: "???!!!!" Daoist Lord Feng Jiuyan is the most powerful cultivator alive. He appeared out of nowhere a thousand years ago, drove back the demon clan, shattered the Dark Realm's conspiracy, and single-handedly brought peace to the world. Then he retired from public life. He has not appeared in centuries, but the legends about him have never stopped. This time, everyone is talking about how the unremarkable second-rate sect, Zhaoyao Sect, must be about to rise to greatness just because it managed to invite him. But when Qiuqiu calls him "Daddy," all their speculation comes to an abrupt halt. Every powerful figure present turns to look at Yun Sheng, the woman it called "Mommy." Yun Sheng: ...I'm so panicked! Then the famously cold and heartless Daoist Lord Feng Jiuyan, who is known for acting instead of talking, reaches out to steady her trembling little body and says, "You really should eat more. You've gotten thin." Yun Sheng: ??? Is playing the victim a family business for you people? P.S. The cover character design was gifted by bs Gugu. Thank you!

Coming soon: Lie Flat and Win in a Tragic Romance Blurb: Su Chan transmigrates into an old-school tragic romance. The good news: she's not the stupid heroine who gets abused a hundred times and still loves you as much as ever. The bad news: she's a hapless tool whose every organ is donated to the heroine, a pure tool, a walking organ-growing vessel... Here's how the plot goes: Before her father dies, he arranges a marriage for Su Chan so she won't be left alone and helpless. After marrying, she learns her husband is Yue Hongying, head of Tianji Sect, the greatest man under heaven, and the leader of the Daoist Order. Not wanting to embarrass her exceptionally talented husband, Su Chan painfully tempers her body, diligently practices swordsmanship, and works hard at cultivation... She also happens to learn a long-lost eye technique. Later, all of it goes to the heroine. After reading the plot, Su Chan has a sudden revelation. If she's going to die either way, wouldn't it be better to lie flat and wait for death? Why temper her body or practice swordsmanship? Is the food bad, or is the bed uncomfortable? The most important thing right now is to enjoy herself! So today Su Chan fishes out Yue Hongying's spirit fish and roasts it. Tomorrow she uses his thousand-year-old spirit wine to entertain her girlfriends. The day after, she takes his spirit ore and has a new hairpin forged for herself... The heroine returns, full of ambition and ready for a fight, and seeks out the useless Sect Master's wife. Then the heroine is stunned. Heroine: Where's your divine sword? Su Chan: I used it to chop vegetables. It's really handy! Heroine: What happened to the Sect Master's spirit fish? Su Chan: Hehe, fish head with chopped chilies is delicious! Heroine: Then give me your spiritual roots! Su Chan: Tsk, what's so great about cultivation? Mortals have much more fun! #Lying flat cures everything# #If I lie flat badly enough, morality can't blackmail me# Theme: A family that loves one another
