Master, You Won't Let Me Win Over the Male Lead

[Main story complete, bonus chapters still being added] Older man-younger woman master-disciple romance, sweet and innocent-looking schemer x radiant, gentle, motherly man In the eighteenth year after Chu Yu transmigrated into a world of immortals and swordsmen, the long-overdue System finally spoke in her mind. System: Host, don't worry. This is a sweet romance, and you're the heroine! There may be a few bumps along the way with the hero, but you two will end up happily ever after! According to the plot, the hero would mistake her for his beloved's stand-in. She would then endure eight hundred chapters of "You look a little like Yuanyuan. You should be grateful," followed by seven hundred chapters of "You only lost your eyes, but she lost love!" and a whole string of other melodramatic tropes. In the final three chapters, the hero would finally realize his mistake, move her with a few tears and apologies, and they would live happily ever after. Chu Yu: Hello? You call this a sweet romance? Chu Yu (smiling): Do I look stupid to you? If she didn't follow the plot, she'd die, so Chu Yu had no choice but to grit her teeth and play along. She couldn't see a single redeeming quality in the hero unless she'd suffered a decade-long brain clot, so she gave up and just did enough to complete each task the System assigned. Until one day, when the plot forced her to spend a night with the hero, she got the wrong person. She ended up with the one she'd been with day and night since she was fifteen... her master. _(:з"∠)_ * The year the Immortal Lord emerged from seclusion, he took in a little disciple. It was his first time accepting a disciple, and he had no experience, so he was all the more careful not to neglect her. Every day, the Immortal Lord urged his disciple to practice, patiently teaching her every last detail. But one day, he suddenly discovered that the disciple he'd so carefully cared for and protected had fallen in love with a faithless man. #What do you do when a pig gets its trotters on your lovely cabbage?# His little disciple cried over that man, offering him her sincere heart only to have it treated like trash. The Immortal Lord grew more and more distressed for her, until one day... _(:з"∠)_ * Updated daily, with occasional bonus chapters. There's a substantial plot, so it's not just romance. My take on cultivation, with original worldbuilding, a light ensemble cast, and both male and female antagonists. The setting of the landscape paintings was inspired by the Horcruxes in Harry Potter and the Shikon Jewel in Inuyasha.

I Died the Year the Great Villain Loved Me Most (crossed out). Actually, it's a sweet romance. And another master-disciple romance: The Sacrifice Offered to the Demon. (OvO It's probably a seven-sugar sweet treat about a girl raised by a scoundrel. The main story is in third person.) I became a sacrifice offered to a demon. Bad news: The demon was wicked and capricious, and killed people as easily as crushing an ant. Good news: He decided to spare my life because my face happened to resemble the white moonlight of his mortal enemy. For ten years, he taught me magic, shared his experience, and tried to mold me into the image of the Holy Maiden of the Nine Heavens, so he could send me to his enemy's side. It was a beautiful plan. Except I really was stupid, and he really was mean. When I practiced footwork, he said a chicken with a handful of rice scattered on the ground would move better than I did. When I learned to put on makeup, he said, "Great. You can play the drowned ghost." When I kindly cooked him a meal, he said if I wanted to poison my master to death, I could just say so instead of putting his kitchen through this. See? With a personality this awful, no wonder he had no friends or family, and not even the Holy Maiden had ever shown him any affection. He'd been all alone on Mount Wuwang for hundreds of years. But he took me in and guided me in cultivation. And since he was pretty good-looking, I was willing to stay by his side. The night before I left for the Immortal Estate, I made sure to say goodbye to the demon. I said, "Master, I'm leaving. I'll seduce the Immortal Venerable and fulfill your grand ambition of defeating the immortal realm." The demon scoffed and told me not to make a fool of myself. To prove myself, I gave it everything I had. But by the third hour after meeting the Immortal Venerable, my disguise had slipped and my fake identity was exposed. The demon laughed even louder and said that if I begged him, he'd come rescue me and take me home. Unfortunately, he never got the chance to keep laughing at me. Not only did I survive, I was about to get engaged to the Immortal Venerable. But on my wedding day, the demon appeared at the ceremony. The man who was always proud and sharp-tongued was now shedding great, heavy tears, unable to get a complete sentence out. "Why didn't you beg me back then?" His voice trembled as he gripped the hem of my clothes. "Then I'll beg you now. Will you come home with me?" - One more upcoming novel to promote: There's finally something to eat for fans of sweet-looking, scheming, unhinged male leads!
