The Third Young Lady Decides to Die

Her eldest brother eloped with the crown princess-to-be. Her second brother accidentally killed the empress’s nephew and became an outlaw. Her parents went mad, and now they wanted to help a prince rebel. Zhong Yao had nowhere to turn for help. She imagined all the possible endings for her family and decided that dying before their tragic fate arrived would be better. Since she was going to die anyway, that day she unhesitatingly took a sword meant for a stranger. And then She didn’t die? The man she saved was the emperor’s trusted aide, just returned from a military campaign, and the heir to the Marquis of Yongan’s household? He wanted to repay her?! Zhong Yao decided to try one more time. If that still didn’t work, she’d go die. . Xie Chi found himself being pestered by someone. The young woman who had saved his life by chance opened with, “My eldest brother’s being foolish...” “My second brother’s being foolish...” “My parents are being foolish...” The moment he dared say no, her eyes would turn red, and she’d sob that she was going to die. Xie Chi decided that the truly foolish one was himself, for offering to repay her in the first place. Later, after the problem was resolved, the young woman smiled brightly and tugged at his sleeve. “I knew you’d find a way, Young Marquis Xie. You really are such a good person.” Xie Chi looked at her once, then again, thinking that perhaps he wasn’t. 1. A teary, soft-hearted girl X a bad-tempered male lead. 2. Once the heroine finds hope, she keeps living life to the fullest. I hope everyone else can keep moving forward too, and that we’ll all have bright futures. 3. A romance with light comedy. Not a story about a powerful heroine succeeding in her career. Coming soon: “On the Bandit Ship,” blurb follows: Shentu Yue is an unaffiliated cultivator. Shentu Yue is a famous, exceptionally talented unaffiliated cultivator. Shentu Yue is an exceptionally talented unaffiliated cultivator cursed with bad luck, who gets struck by lightning even in his sleep. After fighting for five days and five nights to seize a treasure from a demon’s lair, only for a passing young cultivator to casually pick it up, Shentu Yue decided to find someone blessed by the Heavenly Dao to cancel out his bad luck. That person was Fu Shuang. A low-level female cultivator wandering alone, honest and simple-minded, who could only say “Oh, oh,” “Sorry,” “I didn’t mean to,” and “You’re so amazing,” but had incredible luck. After they teamed up, Shentu Yue would toil away fighting at the front while Fu Shuang huffed and puffed behind him, refining the treasures. This made Shentu Yue very unhappy. But Fu Shuang was an honest person. She would always apologize sheepishly and do her best to make it up to him with other treasures. Looking at her guilty expression, Shentu Yue would think, Never mind. I’ll just consider it taking care of this sweet, obedient little sidekick. Until one day, they were surrounded by people from Lushan Sword Sect. Their opponents pointed their swords at Fu Shuang and listed thirteen charges: killing fellow disciples, killing elders, blowing up the treasure pavilion, stealing the sect’s most precious treasure and fleeing the sect... Shentu Yue: “...???” Fu Shuang: “Uh, uh, uh...” Shentu Yue: “What the hell are you uh-ing for?!” But no matter how angry he was, there was nothing he could do. He was already on the bandit ship, so he could only see it through to the bitter end. 1. The blurb is from the male lead’s perspective; the story is mostly told from the heroine’s perspective. 2. A sweet romance, not a power fantasy about a strong heroine. Theme: Never give up
