The Heir Has Been Scheming to Win Her Over for Ages

My new novel, "Why Can't You Just Pretend With Me?", is now underway. Please add it to your library!

A sweet, melodramatic actress who works hard on her missions early on, then locks her heart away x a tsundere man whose mouth is sharper than a knife early on, then loses his mind in a crisis and sticks to her like glue

Shu Man spent all day looking troubled.

Her transmigration-into-a-book mission wasn't difficult: all she had to do was put her award-winning actress's skills to work and make a wildly popular CP with her target on a dating show.

But nobody told her the target was Cen Tu, the man she'd left at the altar!

Cen Tu was the sole heir to the Cen family, one of the most powerful families in Beijing, and the very picture of a heaven-blessed prodigy. After she ran from their wedding, the young master became the favorite drinking tale in both Beijing and Shanghai.

Forget pretending with him. Would she even survive long enough to appear on the dating show?

That said, Shu Man still gritted her teeth and went for it.

Filming began.

Shu Man put on a cool front. "Could I borrow your coat?"

Cen Tu buttoned his coat up tight and stopped a staff member. "Get this lady a blanket."

When they went out,

Shu Man stopped a Porsche. "Rideshares can't get in here. Could you give me a lift?"

The man inside didn't even unlock the doors. He kept her outside. "It's not on my way."

On their movie date, the theater was dark.

Shu Man had a sudden inspiration and secretly took his hand.

Two minutes passed.

? Wait, that's not right!

Why hadn't he pulled away yet?

Cen Tu had recently encountered two strange things. First, he'd somehow transmigrated into a book. Second, the former fiancee who'd run from their wedding had told him she liked him.

He had once sworn never to have anything to do with Shu Man again, but after she aggressively pursued him, he broke that vow as easily as letting out a fart.

One evening, Shu Man asked him to go for a walk. In front of the cameras, she kissed him by force. The whole internet was in an uproar, convinced they were already together.

Cen Tu thought so too.

Once the cameras were off, he didn't feel she'd crossed a line that night. If anything, he found himself savoring it. On impulse, he even wanted to ask Shu Man out for another "walk."

He went upstairs and knocked on her door. "Want to go for a stroll?"

The person inside didn't even open the door. "No. Work hours are over."

???

Cen Tu stumbled upon a shocking truth: he seemed to have been fooled by a heartless woman with plenty of experience and superb acting skills.

*Complete

A soft, sweet beauty x a tsundere young general

She falls in love after marriage, from the heroine's perspective; a long-planned secret crush comes true, from the hero's perspective

Chi Chun Yin knew Gu Chi didn't like her.

Gu Chi was the heir to the Duke of Ying's household, an arrogant and unruly man who shone brighter than anyone else in all of Bianjing.

She was merely the daughter of a fallen Earl of Zhongyi, with nothing but her beauty to recommend her. She occupied Gu Chi's place as his primary wife, preventing him from marrying his beloved, Princess Changning.

Gu Chi thought that if he married Chi Chun Yin and brought her into his household, he could eventually make her fall for him.

After they married,

Gu Chi didn't want Chi Chun Yin to get up early. "You don't have to see me off to court every day."

Chi Chun Yin: All right.

Gu Chi said haughtily, "My colleagues' wives bring them food and visit them. You should do that too."

Chi Chun Yin: Oh.

But in her heart, she grumbled that Gu Chi didn't want to be seen with her in public, yet he was afraid she'd have too much free time and kept finding ways to make trouble for him. Marrying above her station really was like swallowing needles.

Gu Chi returned victorious from war, bringing home not only glorious military achievements but also his beloved, Princess Changning.

Chi Chun Yin spent her days in dread, but Gu Chi's divorce papers never came. She couldn't stand living with a blade hanging over her head, so she decided to take the initiative herself.

When Gu Chi saw the divorce agreement, his lovely, peach-blossom eyes blazed with a frightening intensity. He finally realized that his little wife had been humoring him all this time.

Every time she gave him one, he tore it up.

At last, Gu Chi could bear it no longer. He cornered Chi Chun Yin in bed, his familiar, carefree manner gone, his eyes bloodshot.

"What will it take for you to have me in your heart?"

Please add "Scheming for Her" to your library!

In her previous life, Liang Yi An rose to become the most powerful empress in the land. Lu Quan left the six palaces empty for her, and the two were deeply devoted to one another. But then a palace coup erupted without warning. Her maternal family was imprisoned, new women entered the palace, and she was confined there, an empress in name only.

Reborn into a new life, Liang Yi An found herself as Yun Shu, the only daughter of a duke's household and a lovestruck admirer of Prince Jing, Lu Heng.

Lu Heng was the emperor's most beloved younger brother, a man of remarkable bearing whom countless women had long admired. Yun Shu was the most impulsive of them all.

Liang Yi An refused to repeat the mistakes of her previous life.

But Lu Heng, who had always deliberately antagonized her in her previous life, looked at her in this new body and saw her differently. The man who had once despised this very body was now the one asking to marry her.

Lu Heng's greatest regret in this life was letting his brother wrong his sister-in-law. He had thought there was no way to resolve the knot in his heart, until he saw Yun Shu.

That look in her eyes was Liang Yi An's.

Her previous life had ended without a happy ending. Now that Heaven had granted Liang Yi An a second life, he would give her the moon she wanted, even if her reason for marrying him was less than sincere. Besides, all it would take was killing a few people.

After Liang Yi An avenged herself, she turned around and noticed that her fake husband, Prince Jing, was looking at her differently.

Lu Heng murmured in a daze, "You're finally back."
