Everyone but My Junior Sister Is in a Messy Romance

Sorry, dear readers. This novel has been on hiatus for too long. I'll resume updating after it is removed from paid access. I'm truly sorry to have let down everyone who liked it and waited for it.

Blurb: A bold, direct girl + an arrogant, crazy demon lord + everyone gets their own regretful redemption arc!

1.

He Shan transmigrated into a fantasy cultivation novel as a cannon-fodder supporting female character with the same name. Her only purpose was to be the male lead's fiancée and the female lead's sacrifice on the path to enlightenment, burning herself up to move the plot forward.

Her mission to return home was to stop the second male lead from going dark.

The second male lead, Lan Shi, was a mysterious peach tree who loved the female lead but could never have her. In the end, he became a Heavenly Demon and nearly destroyed all six realms.

To stop Lan Shi from growing into a monster, He Shan decided to tend to him herself. But the more she cared for this delicate flower, the more crooked he grew.

At first, He Shan spent every day calling him a pervert.

Later, He Shan realized he really was a pervert, secretly thrilled even as he acted haughty, and making peaches for her.

Later still, He Shan decided she could live with him being a pervert, but could he please stop tying her to the bed?

In the end, the immortal clan of the Shi family forced her to sacrifice herself to the sword. The young Heavenly Demon trampled a path through blood and bones, while demonic vines growing from his body bound He Shan's limbs.

"Love me, or I'll kill them all. Choose one."

2.

Legend has it that the world-destroying Heavenly Demon was a peach tree that had been burned down. As the dreaded God of Slaughter of the six realms, he had a bodhisattva's face and killed without mercy.

He fell into the mortal world during the heavenly punishment, peerless in power, yet unable to find anyone willing to nurture him for ten years.

Except for one timid, spoiled girl.

The Heavenly Demon wandered the world, thinking he would live out his days alone. But he saw the little girl give herself to the world in the most brutal way.

When her clothes were soaked through with blood as vast as the sea, the demon who could have his tendons severed and bones scraped without batting an eye panicked so badly he couldn't even raise his hands.

I stand at the edge of hell, baring all my scars and flesh, so that you will see me and feel pity, heal me through the long years, and know that my love for you is deafening.

He Shan, I am your flower.

He Shan diligently pushed the plot along, thinking that all she had to do was keep her head down, survive, and finish her mission. But gradually, she realized that the original story's plot had gone completely off the rails.

He Shan: I like you...

Male lead: "You don't need to say any more. We grew up together, and I've already chosen the most beautiful of Qizhou's twelve towers as the place where we'll wed. The wedding is tomorrow!"

The next day, the Sword Sect mobilized everyone to capture the culprit who had blown up the cesspool beneath the Twelve Towers.

Female lead: "Shanshan, Senior Sister likes you too. Let's sleep together tonight."

That night, He Shan hugged her pillow and gazed, entranced, at Lan Shi's dazzling smile. No one paid any attention to the female lead, who was practicing swordsmanship until she foamed at the mouth.

Sword Sect, which had always been ashamed of her: "Did you hear that? Junior Sister said she likes me! She said she likes me! I'm going down the mountain to buy her candied fruit!"

He Shan slept for several days. When she woke up, she heard that a woman from the village below had stormed the place with her husband, claiming that several of the senior brothers had been pursuing her relentlessly. Candied fruit was piled up at the door, and they demanded someone take responsibility.

He Shan: I like your missing sense of shame... Huh? What's wrong with everyone?

Lan Shi, his expression unchanged, replied innocently, "I don't know."

The barrier between worlds was broken, and the six realms descended into chaos. The least useful junior sister of the Sword Sect sacrificed herself to the sword.

She burst apart in front of everyone, leaving no trace of flesh or bone.

Having witnessed the crimson fireworks, the Kun Jun Sword Sect nearly lost its Daoist hearts.

The female lead almost abandoned the sword path, the male lead went white-haired overnight, and the great demon lord willingly descended into the Infernal Abyss. Even a high monastery's Buddhist disciple and a holy maiden from the divine mountain committed murder for her sake.

All things revived, grass grew, and orioles sang, but in the end, they could not piece her body back together.

Goddess who prayed for the world, may you be granted many blessings.

Reader's Guide:

1. The male lead has flaws in his personality. Please decide for yourself whether that bothers you.

2. The female lead is clever in small ways, but not exceptionally brilliant.

3. The original novel's male and female leads are not vilified.

4. The female lead is sunny on the outside but cold on the inside. Only later does she begin to treat the people in the book as real people. Everything she does is to follow the original plot and return home.

Coming Soon: Toward the Heavens

Blurb:

A cheeky, handsome god cursed by heaven × a wildly spicy, unrestrained Peacock King

Zhu Jiao came from a prestigious family. With her spirited, beautiful face and youthful bravado, she had occupied the top spot on Qizhou's list of girls' dream lovers for years.

She was a direct descendant of the Great Peacock Wisdom King and had been designated the next demon king. But she did whatever she pleased, throwing the six realms into chaos, and even dragged several great clans down with her. In the end, she died a gruesome death at the age of eighteen.

When she opened her eyes again, she was fifteen.

A demon-soldier's token beneath her peacock robe, a heavenly chosen one as her husband: everyone in the six realms knew the saying referred to the little Peacock King.

The world knew Zhu Jiao as a young, reckless girl who did as she pleased, but no one expected this beloved daughter of heaven to become so... hard to describe.

Then one day, after she snatched a young man and brought him home, the demon king finally lost his temper.

But Zhu Jiao lifted her red-tasseled spear, raised her eyebrows, and told him: she was keeping this one.

The young man's name was Lin Suitang. He had red lips, pearly teeth, and was useless in every way.

Everyone thought she was blinded by his beauty, but only Zhu Jiao knew she and this Lin fellow were fated to meet.

In her previous life, Zhu Jiao had lived to the age of fifteen before learning that there was a fairyland in the six realms called Boshanlu.

Her uncle, the demon king, had once told her that Boshanlu was a cultivation paradise, and no outsider could enter unless they were one of the great clan heads or a demon or immortal king.

At fifteen, Zhu Jiao slipped in at her cousin's urging, only to discover the greatest secret of the six realms

Outside Boshanlu, the world was peaceful and prosperous. Just one wall away lay a living hell.

Boshanlu was no fairyland. Its people were the treasures.

She snatched a young man from one of the clan heads' subordinates, turning the six realms upside down. Then the demon king rushed over and locked her away. By the time she got out, three years had passed.

At eighteen, Zhu Jiao threw down the demon-soldier's token at the demon king's succession ceremony and returned to Boshanlu with Lin Suitang, whom she had rescued three years earlier.

Facing the surrounding clans, she stood firmly before Boshanlu with her red-tasseled spear. No one dared take a step forward beneath the emerald feathers of the Great Peacock King.

Under the stark contrast of pure red and green, blood poured from Zhu Jiao's seven orifices. With her last breath, she dragged several clan heads down with her, blowing them up outside Boshanlu.

Her last memory was of Lin Suitang holding her tightly as they died together, the corners of his eyes stained with her blood.

Lin Suitang naturally had no memory of her, but Zhu Jiao remembered the goodness he'd shown her in her previous life. So she lured him into bed, and they loved each other devotedly, entangled day and night.

But this seemingly useless freeloader, when Zhu Jiao's battle was going badly, summoned heavenly lightning by invoking the punishment of the immortals, turning the entire battlefield into gray crabapple blossoms that vanished into smoke.

The Demon Star Houqing ascended to the divine realm ten thousand years ago, but became the embodiment of heavenly punishment because he was too ferocious.

Zhu Jiao had heard the legends from ten thousand years ago. Warily, she watched the gentle young man in front of her bring her medicine.

Her eyes widened slightly as she watched him approach and gently knead her lips with his thumb.

"My king, take your medicine."

Reader's Guide:

1. The male lead plays the pig to eat the tiger; the female lead is a fiery chili pepper.

2. The female lead is extremely unruly. In city people's words, she's a nonconformist.

3. Happy ending, and both leads are strong.

Theme: Kindness and sincerity will always be virtues.
