Lay Down Your Arms and Surrender

My other novel, A Bloodbath Over a Steamed Bun, is now underway. Please add it to your favorites!

Blurb:

After transmigrating into a book, Lin Yunxi stayed calm. She was sure that love and care would be enough to save the tragic male supporting character, a truly important mission.

She was very confident.

Then she made one wrong move and splashed all the tea over the Second Prince. The result: she got a prince’s foot, right in the face, sending her flying three meters and leaving her with a bloody nose and tears on the ground.

The System issued frantic warnings, but she saw nothing wrong with what she’d done and had no intention of repenting.

Lin Yunxi: “Don’t ask. I’m just upholding justice and acting on Heaven’s behalf.” (In other words: I can’t stand him.)

The arrogant, overbearing Second Prince discovered that he enjoyed picking on one particular person. What could he do? She couldn’t pour tea properly, embroider properly, paint properly, or write properly. She was full of flaws, yet as stubborn as a hedgehog.

It made him want to go against the grain and stroke her...

Later, after getting a hand full of hedgehog spines, Xiao Yixuan decided that maybe a hedgehog’s prickles could be soft, too. He even felt like petting her belly. (Not like that.)

A little scene:

On a dark, windy night, leaves rustled softly. In a corner of the south courtyard was a place known as the dog hole.

Lin Yunxi headed there with a stick, also known as a blind person’s cane, to feel her way around in the dark.

But for some reason,

when she jabbed it in, it seemed to sink into mud. She couldn’t pull it free, no matter how hard she tried.

Lin Yunxi: (Something feels wrong...)

So she carefully crouched and parted the grass to look. Their eyes met.

Lin Yunxi: “...”

Xiao Yixuan: “...”

Lin Yunxi later thought it was lucky she hadn’t yanked with all her strength. Otherwise, pulling out a carrot and all the dirt with it would have given her a whole new appreciation for the phrase.

P.S. The heroine transmigrates into a book intending to save the tragic male supporting character with love and care. She never expected that one wrong move would set them on a path of mutual antagonism and love...
