The General's younger daughter had been cherished like a jewel in the palm of her family's hand since childhood. She and the Crown Prince had grown up together.

Crown Prince Fu Changli had the bearing of a jade-like gentleman. He was mild-mannered, and his talent, character, and looks were all first-rate.

But Yuan Jiu couldn't stand his feigned benevolence. Fu Changli was no merciful man: he held grudges and was full of wicked ideas. He was also a hopeless cat lover.

He spent all day cuddling the white cat Tuantuan, and whenever he smiled, he looked like he was plotting something.

Yuan Jiu disliked him. Whenever she heard people praising him, she scoffed, and deliberately kept her distance from Fu Changli, hoping to shake off the label of childhood friend.

She thought she and that hypocritical Crown Prince would never cross paths again. But during an autumn hunt, assassins drove them off a cliff, and Yuan Jiu was unconscious for nearly three days.

During that time, she dreamed of an immortal beneath a peach tree, slowly winding a red thread around two figurines. Yuan Jiu moved closer to look, and saw her and Fu Changli's names written on them.

What a nightmare!

But even worse, one day after waking, Yuan Jiu discovered that she had somehow switched bodies with the white cat named Tuantuan. Watching Fu Changli speak to her in a soft, gentle voice, Yuan Jiu closed her eyes heavily.

Perhaps this was what hell was really like.

Notes

1. This story is set in a fictional world, and a very fictional one at that!

2. There are misunderstandings.

3. More notes will be added if I think of any.

Sneaking in a little upcoming novel~

After Transmigrating into a Book, the Villain Became a Lovesick Fool

Shen Qingmiao transmigrated into a book. The good news: she became the lofty only daughter of the leader of a prestigious orthodox sect, cherished like a jewel since childhood.

The bad news: she was a cannon-fodder side character who died right at the beginning.

This character, mentioned only briefly in the original story, had bullied the villain since childhood. More than a decade ago, Lu Junze, having fallen into demonic cultivation, slaughtered her entire family.

After transmigrating into the story before the villain's corruption, Shen Qingmiao worked diligently to cling to his coattails and keep herself alive, hoping to stop him from going astray. But why was the decisive, ruthless main villain from the original story... also such a lovesick fool?

Watching Lu Junze, who couldn't bear to be apart from her for even a moment, Shen Qingmiao couldn't help doubting his reputation as a villain.

She'd been trying to keep her head down, but somehow she'd ended up with a little shadow following her around.

Second upcoming novel

Peach Blossoms

Gu Yuanzhao was a concubine-born daughter of the Marquis's household. She had never been loved, and even the servants deliberately made things difficult for her. But everything changed dramatically after the Marquis of Anning brought home an adopted son.

Rumor had it that her older brother was as cool and noble as the moon above the clouds. With the Marquis of Anning's support, his career prospered, and everyone called him a gifted young man of extraordinary talent.

But only Gu Yuanzhao knew that this radiant, immaculate older brother would take her hand at family banquets without changing expression, then gently scratch her palm beneath the table.

Perhaps he never knew that it had all begun with Yuanzhao deliberately tempting him.

The candles had burned halfway down. The gauze curtains swayed gently in the breeze, making the figure seated in the center of the room seem even more indistinct.

Gu Yinbai caressed Yuanzhao's cheek, tenderness in his eyes. "Your eyes are beautiful. I want them to look only at me."

Yuanzhao's hand shifted slightly, and the scrape of chains rang through the quiet room. She merely lifted a hand to his neck, leaning into his embrace as softly as boneless silk.

"Have you forgotten, Older Brother? I was never a caged songbird. I..."

Yuanzhao lightly bit his earlobe, her words carrying a hint of playful laughter. The chains wound around Gu Yinbai's neck, her voice soft, as if deliberately tempting him.

"...am deadly poison wrapped in sugar."

The chains tightened little by little, but Gu Yinbai wasn't afraid of her threat. He bent down and kissed her. The kiss was achingly tender. When their lips and teeth finally parted, his fingertips brushed the smudged rouge on Yuanzhao's lips, and his own mouth curved into a faint smile.

"Whether you're honey or deadly poison, Yuanzhao, don't even think of looking at anyone else. You can only look at me. You belong only to me."

Thesis: There are always more solutions than difficulties.
