My Aloof Martial Uncle Is My Top Supporter

(A preview blurb for an upcoming novel.) Check out my series page: Who Starts with a Hundred Percent Malice?

As a competent person who has transmigrated into a book, Ye Chao Ning knows all the usual strategies for winning someone over. Just as the System tells her that her target is the villain...

Ye Chao Ning: (Wiping away sweat) It's fine. I've read tons of novels like this!

Watching the woman's confidence, the System's nonexistent mouth twitches.

System: Host, your target is a little unusual.

Ye Chao Ning: Mm-hmm.

System: He's a crazy, twisted psychopath.

Ye Chao Ning: Mm-hmm.

She's read plenty of stories with this setup. All she has to do is reform the villain!

System: He kills without batting an eye.

Ye Chao Ning: Mm-hmm.

I'm great at soothing people, anyway.

The System has been hinting at it for ages, but Ye Chao Ning doesn't seem the least bit worried. At last, it seems unable to bear it any longer.

System: His malice toward you is at one hundred percent.

Ye Chao Ning: Mm-hmm... Huh?

System: It means he could kill you at any moment.

Ye Chao Ning, stubbornly: You don't hit someone who's smiling at you.

And so, the following scenes ensue.

Ye Chao Ning: Si Wuxi, I just picked these fruits. Here, have them!

Si Wuxi, who has seen Ye Chao Ning climb a tree like a monkey, walks by and ends up with his hands full of fruit.

Ye Chao Ning: Si Wuxi, Si Wuxi! I just brewed this bamboo-clear drink. Here, have some sweet tea!

Si Wuxi, who has always hated sweet drinks, frowns at the bowl Ye Chao Ning offers him.

Ye Chao Ning works diligently to stay alive, until the day she feels confident enough to ask the System about Si Wuxi's malice value again.

System: ...His malice value is still one hundred percent...

Ye Chao Ning gets mad, then gets mad about getting mad. When Si Wuxi is in danger and falls unconscious, she kicks him in revenge.

Si Wuxi, pretending to be dead, silently opens his eyes. He and Ye Chao Ning stare at each other for a few seconds.

She turns and flees.

Legend says that Si Wuxi, a demonic prodigy seen only once in ten thousand years, suffered terribly while living among humans and became a bloodthirsty killer.

No one knows what Si Wuxi went through.

For years, ever since he was afflicted with the Soul-Devouring Gu, every full moon night his limbs felt as if evil spirits were gnawing at them.

In the depths of his agony, seeing other people happy was pure torture.

At some point, whenever Si Wuxi suffered, he began to see a girl dressed in clothes from another era. The woman's radiant smile in his dreams pierced him like a blade.

Find her. Kill her.

That was Si Wuxi's first thought.

Let her go. Miss her.

That was Si Wuxi's last thought.

Also, I've published a separate novel with the bonus stories about Senior Sister Li and Fu the Puppy. It's set in the entertainment industry, so feel free to check it out on my series page.

Here's the blurb for this novel!

A thousand years ago, Bai Mi, the Nine Provinces' Holy Maiden, was framed and killed in battle, then condemned by public opinion.

Now she's come back to life. To her surprise, the sect she'd casually founded all those years ago is still around, so she decides to become its junior sister and see how prosperous it has become.

Instead, she walks straight into a den of thieves.

First, the sect's initial admission screening turns out to be based on looks. Then she discovers that her master is an old rascal who even takes his disciples to eavesdrop on people. Bai Mi figures this sect is doomed, so she decides to work hard and bring it back to glory herself.

She starts a livestream using a spirit-vision mirror, earning some pocket money while boosting the sect's performance.

“Everyone, these are the cabbages grown by our sect.”

Everyone: “That rare delicacy from legend is called a cabbage at Yuheng Sect?”

“This is a little pet bred by the Beast Taming Sect.”

Everyone: “Maybe take another look at that ‘little pet.’ It can shoot lightning and breathe fire!”

After the Battle of the Illusory Scrolls, especially, Yuheng Sect's formidable combat strength takes over the entire Upper Immortal Realm's screens overnight.

Just as Bai Mi decides to relax and temporarily hand her livestreaming business over to the sect, her scumbag ex-fiancé shows up before she can even catch her breath!

When Bai Mi hears the news, she bundles up her belongings and prepares to hide for a few days.

To her surprise, her usually reclusive junior uncle appears and beats the scumbag to a pulp.

What's going on? Since when was her junior uncle such a good person? Only later does Bai Mi learn that he's been secretly in love with her for over a thousand years.

Bai Mi: OMG

[Content warning: The story mainly focuses on career development, and the male and female leads don't interact much.]
