The Royal Paper Artisan

[Love-struck, loyal prince of the current dynasty x ambitious beauty, princess of the former dynasty]

After losing her memory, the princess of the former dynasty's Nanyi Kingdom lives among ordinary people under the name Shangguan Xi and becomes a paper-cutting artisan. Unexpectedly, an imperial decree arrives, forcing Shangguan Xi to take the place of her late adoptive father and enter the palace to make the paper-cut lanterns the Empress has recently taken a liking to, for her birthday celebration.

Shangguan Xi's skill is a match for her late adoptive father's, and she is famous throughout Guangling. As soon as she enters the palace, her exceptional craftsmanship saves her from the first attempt on her life.

In the palace, Shangguan Xi's stunning beauty brings her no shortage of admirers. Those who love her and those who envy her are all driven to extremes, and the biggest headache of all is that both the Emperor and the Fifth Prince, Wen Han, have fallen for her.

The Fifth Prince, Wen Han, is always coming to the place where Shangguan Xi is temporarily staying in the palace under the pretext of learning paper-cutting. He even keeps stuffing her with gold as payment for his lessons.

The Emperor takes a fancy to Shangguan Xi at first sight and becomes increasingly deliberate in his attempts to get close to her.

But all Shangguan Xi wants is to leave the palace safely after celebrating the Empress's birthday. She has no desire to compete with the Empress, let alone get involved in palace intrigue.

What Shangguan Xi never expected was that the Emperor would be so blunt about his feelings for her.

"I'll grant you a good match too. Would you... be my consort?"

"..."

After finally recovering her composure, Shangguan Xi looks at the Emperor with the determined expression of someone ready to die and says seriously, "But the Fifth Prince and I have already consummated our marriage."

Strong leads, both virgins, 1v1, happy ending.

A setting inspired by the Han dynasty, with the palace and jianghu storylines interwoven.

Coming soon: "Demon Lord, Spare Me"

[Random male lead x opportunistic, money-loving, helpless female lead who knows how to adapt]

After waking up one day, university graduate Le Yin finds herself in a dark cultivation world after an accident. She has taken over someone else's body and is now a beautiful courtesan in a demonic cultivator army camp, desired by everyone.

Just as the ravenous demonic soldiers are about to fight over her, the vanguard general of the army takes a liking to her and orders her to serve him alone.

Still shaken, Le Yin quickly figures out what's going on.

This is the second time. I've got a new male lead!

The System's cold, mechanical female voice once again gives Le Yin the one task she must complete if she wants to return to her original world: [You must live to a ripe old age.]

Le Yin: "..."

You've got to be kidding me. How is that even possible?!

Ding!

[Upon successful completion of the task, the Host will receive a bonus of one billion yuan, deposited directly into the first Class I bank card registered in the Host's name.]

"..."

"Why didn't you say so earlier! This is a great task! I'll definitely complete it!"

But in this dark cultivation world, demonic cultivators rule almost everything. The weakened immortal sects and powerful demonic cultivators are constantly waging small skirmishes and major battles. The Demon Emperor of Zhongzhou is replaced as often as water flows. It is a truly chaotic age.

To stay alive, get home, and claim the one-billion-yuan bonus, Le Yin has no choice but to cling tightly to the male lead the System has identified as the person most capable of protecting her right now.

But before she can even get comfortable holding on to this lifeline, a battle in the chaotic age causes Le Yin to be reborn again.

On her third life, Le Yin becomes a woman who took her own life before her wedding and is about to marry the new male lead designated by the System.

Not long after the wedding, Le Yin happens to rescue a familiar-looking man in distress by the fields.

She remembers clearly that in her previous life in the army camp, this man was the lowest-ranking mortal soldier in the demonic army. He was so emaciated from hunger and so often bullied that she secretly brought him food. She also learned his name: Qu Qinxiao.

Le Yin decides to see her good deed through and lets Qu Qinxiao work for free at her home, providing him with food and lodging.

But the peaceful days don't last long. A group of rogue demonic cultivators and deserters attack the village, burning, killing, and looting, and Le Yin is forced to be reborn once more.

On her fourth life, Le Yin becomes the daughter of an immortal sect leader and is about to marry the eldest son of another sect leader, the new male lead, in a political alliance.

Unexpectedly, on the second day after her wedding, Le Yin sees Qu Qinxiao, who has already been at the sect for some time as a new disciple.

Although she has to cling to the new male lead designated by the System, Le Yin still has feelings for Qu Qinxiao.

Until one day, the new male lead designated by the System accidentally comes upon Qu Qinxiao with Le Yin behind the rockery beside the lotus pond...

The male lead's identity may differ each life. Each arc is 1v1 with a happy ending.

The male leads change from one arc to the next. The female lead will switch to a new male lead at the right moment, following the System's prompts, to save her own life.

Completed novel: "Spirit Master Tianxuan"

[Arrogant, aloof, obsessive crown prince x quirky young lady of a prestigious family]

When Qiao Tianxuan was young, her scumbag father forced her to take the place of her disabled younger brother. Disguised as a boy, she entered the Eastern Palace as the Crown Prince's study companion, all to bring honor to the Qiao family of Huainan.

But Qiao Tianxuan has always resented her scumbag father for abandoning her mother, who eventually died of grief. Why would she care about the so-called honor of the Qiao family of Huainan?

She doesn't want to be selected by the Crown Prince as his lifelong study companion five years later, so she deliberately acts like a slacker, never taking anything seriously and constantly drawing the Crown Prince's cold glare.

Unexpectedly, a family disaster strikes, and the Qiao family is massacred. Only Qiao Tianxuan, who was serving as the Crown Prince's study companion in the palace, survives. But her identity as a woman is exposed as well.

It's over. The crime of deceiving the emperor is punishable by death!

At the same time, the enemy nation demands that Crown Prince Chen Yuanlong go there as a hostage.

To help Qiao Tianxuan escape execution for deceiving the emperor, and also to get back at her, Chen Yuanlong names her as his personal maid and orders her to accompany him to the enemy nation and serve him every day, giving her a chance to atone for her crime.

Naturally, life as a dependent in the enemy nation is far from easy.

The enemy nation's three princes relentlessly harass Qiao Tianxuan and Chen Yuanlong. The Second Prince in particular wants to sleep with Qiao Tianxuan, enraging Chen Yuanlong and finally making him realize that he has fallen deeply in love with her.

But fate is hard to predict. A sudden disaster separates Chen Yuanlong and Qiao Tianxuan while they are in the enemy nation.

Longing for Qiao Tianxuan day and night, Chen Yuanlong nearly goes mad with regret and searches for her desperately, sparing no effort or expense.

When Chen Yuanlong finally finds Qiao Tianxuan years later, she has already become a spirit master, adored by her master and admired by her friends. With a single spirit talisman, she can command countless spiritual creatures.

After losing her memory due to a high fever, she has forgotten everything about her time with Chen Yuanlong in the enemy nation. Now, all she remembers is that she and Chen Yuanlong were "enemies" when she served as his study companion!

But as luck would have it, Chen Yuanlong wants to bring her back to the palace to be his Crown Princess.

"Miss Tianxuan, have you always lived here?"

Qiao Tianxuan knows Chen Yuanlong is suspicious of her and trying to fish for information, so she replies casually, "You're a stranger. Why should I tell you? Guess."

"..."

Hatred lasts longer than love, but what pains Chen Yuanlong more than her hating him is that she treats him like a stranger.

And, of course, there's the sight of her turning without hesitation and hurrying to her master, Luo Xia.

When rivals meet, their eyes blaze with jealousy, and each quickly calculates their next move.

Luo Xia says, "And you are?"

Chen Yuanlong takes a token from his robes and says, "I am Chen Yuanlong, Crown Prince of Jiuchen. May I ask your name, sir?"

Luo Xia freezes, then quickly bows with his hands clasped. "Your Highness may call me Brother Luo. What brings Your Highness here?"

Chen Yuanlong immediately helps Luo Xia up. "Brother Luo, there's no need to bow. Since you're Miss Tianxuan's master, we're family."

"Family?!" Qiao Tianxuan nearly spits out the pastry in her mouth.

You rascal! You and I are not family!

Both leads are virgins, happy ending, childhood friends reunited, regretful pursuit, aloof beauty lowers his head for love.

The story unfolds through two interwoven timelines, with the first and second male leads competing for the heroine. She also occasionally thinks of the person she loved, her white moonlight, the third male lead who died saving her.

The main characters solve mysteries and battle monsters together on their journey, while the heroine and first male lead gradually clear up the misunderstandings from their past as the story progresses.
