Quenching Thirst with a Plum Tree

[Longing for Plum Blossoms] [The title will probably be something like After I Toyed with the Immortal Sect's Crown Prince and Cast Him Aside]

[Cut off the path to immortality, brush off the dust, and put on mortal clothes]

Only shortly before being reborn did Gu Wangmei learn that she was the villainess in a novel. Her entire life was no more than a fleeting moment in the beloved heroine's mortal tribulation.

Her gentle, considerate fiancé and her dashing junior fellow disciple had both come for the beloved heroine, to accompany her through her trials.

And in this mortal farce, Gu Wangmei was one of the beloved heroine's tribulations. All she had to do was cause trouble again and again, become a heretical demoness, and be abandoned by everyone. Then, after the heroine patiently persuaded her to change, the heroine would die taking a blade for her, only for the heroine's people to arrive and stab Gu Wangmei to death. A perfect revenge.

After that, they could all return to the immortal realm and enjoy their cultivation.

Gu Wangmei: What kind of nonsense is this?

So she was reborn, and decided to lie flat.

Since they all hated her, she'd give them even more reason to, and make their trials a lot more intense.

She also had to change the ending where she died. Who was it that stabbed her back then?

Her eyes shifted as she looked at the slave she'd just ordered to be beaten until he was covered in wounds beneath the blazing sun.

Though blood streamed from the boy's knees, he still knelt with his back straight, staring at her without blinking, as if she were a piece of meat he'd been longing to devour.

Oh, so this was the one who stabbed her.

She couldn't even remember who he was. All she recalled was that the heroine had once tossed him a meal, and he'd followed her for the rest of his life.

As if he were good enough for her. The heroine had all those people doting on her. Why would she ever choose you?

Gu Wangmei felt uneasy under his gaze. She sauntered over to him. "Want to live? I don't care what your name used to be. From today on, your name is Wei Lian, and you're my dog."

She would make him serve her. She would change her fate.

The boy lowered his head, concealing the sinister madness in his eyes. "Second Miss Jiang is my master."

Later, when all the immortals returned to their proper places, Gu Wangmei started a new life and naturally no longer needed Wei Lian.

The boy's expressionless voice gave nothing away. "Second Miss Jiang, are you sure?"

"Of course. It's best to cut things off cleanly. I don't need you as my dog anymore. Let's part ways here!"

"All right."

When he didn't cling to her, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Later, she learned that he really was good enough. He was an immortal too, and even the crown prince of the Immortal Palace: Wei Lianzhi.

He had descended to the mortal world to undergo a trial of love.

That day, he ruined her wedding and took her away, declaring in a hidden room:

"Second Miss Jiang, from today on, you are my slave."

He even brought the new fiancé she'd found before her and demanded, "Is he better at martial arts than I am? Can he serve you better than I can?"

But he's got a better personality than you, and he's more handsome...

She didn't dare say that, though. She could only say no.

"Tsk. Liar."

He's a dog that bites. Once the meat is within reach, he never lets go.

Reader's Guide:

The heroine seduces the hero and then casts him aside. She's only trying to stay alive and enjoy herself.

The hero is a devoted, green-tea-type dog who turns into a deranged, possessive madman when his love goes unrequited. He's very good at competing with other men.

The hero is gorgeous, but the heroine's later boyfriends are usually sunny and handsome, so he feels insecure and jealous.

That's right, I want to write a book where the heroine doesn't steadfastly choose the hero.

Wangmei: Choosing one handsome guy out of so many is hard for me too!!!

Theme: Men should work on themselves more and look for the reasons within.
