Reborn as a Furnace, But I'm the Top

[Pre-Release] "I Accidentally Became My Ex's Aunt's Scandalous Wife," blurb below

In her previous life, Shen Yirong was the Sword Venerable of the Tai'an Sect, and Song Yin was her disciple.

The Tai'an Sword Venerable was beautiful and noble, demanded the finest in every aspect of life, and was especially exacting with her disciple.

Today, she disliked how bitter Song Yin's medicine was and punished her by making her kneel outside the door for hours.

Tomorrow, Song Yin entered with her left foot first, so Shen Yirong sent her to the Snow Ridge, where demon beasts roamed, to fend for herself.

She even abandoned Song Yin without hesitation when demonic cultivators attacked the sect.

At last, Song Yin turned to the dark side and ran her through with a sword.

*

Shen Yirong, plagued by an old illness, had a secret: she was a transmigrator bound to a System. The System had ordered her to play the heroine's evil master.

After completing her task, she opened her eyes again and found herself the least-favored furnace in Song Yin's harem...

The Demon Palace was heavily guarded, so there was no escape. As a furnace, she had plenty of free time and good perks, so Shen Yirong nervously settled into a life of doing nothing.

But somehow, Song Yin took an interest in her and summoned her every day.

Now a Demon Venerable, Song Yin had shed her timid nature and become coolly elegant and imposing. The other furnaces envied Shen Yirong for receiving all her favor. Shen Yirong clutched her threadbare coin purse, her arms trembling slightly.

Shen Yirong had no interest in competing for favor and could only suffer in silence. She just wanted to bundle up this imperious menace and send her away.

Today, Song Yin ordered her to make some clothes by hand, then called them ugly and docked half a month's worth of spirit stones.

Tomorrow, she demanded that Shen Yirong cook, then blamed her for setting the kitchen on fire and docked half a year's pay.

The day after, she docked Shen Yirong's entire annual pay for no apparent reason, simply because Shen Yirong had glanced at the watchdog in front of the house.

Then, late at night, Shen Yirong opened the door to find the woman on her bed, no longer acting superior as she did by day. Her hair spilled loose, and she was breathtakingly alluring.

"Come here."

The next day, Shen Yirong's purse was full, but her arms ached.

*

Shen Yirong's exclusive favor brought disaster. One of the other furnaces stole a Soul-Luring Lamp that could see through people's souls.

In front of everyone in the Demon Palace, Shen Yirong's identity was exposed.

Song Yin never showed mercy to her enemies. Ripping out their tendons and breaking their bones until their souls scattered was the bare minimum. Worse than that was being left to wish for death.

Song Yin's gaze turned icy as she locked Shen Yirong away.

Everyone was waiting for a laugh, eager to see how the Demon Venerable's former master would be made to suffer.

But the next day, they saw Shen Yirong emerge from her room with weary steps, the Demon Venerable following behind her.

That imperious Demon Venerable rubbed Shen Yirong's hands while holding her own aching waist, her eyes full of tenderness.

Shen Yirong kicked her in the shin in annoyance. The Demon Venerable's eyes lit up, and she turned sideways to offer her other leg.

Shen Yirong: "..."

Money-loving master (furnace) ^ Cool, wicked disciple (Demon Venerable)

[PS] 1. They are each other's only partner. The harem is a misunderstanding.

3. The blurb, plot, and character settings have all changed. This is the latest version.

4. There will be a bit of an ensemble cast, with many girls of different personalities.

A preview of "I Accidentally Became My Ex's Aunt's Scandalous Wife":

[Bookish, wooden, gentle puppy Alpha x abstinent-on-the-surface, possessive, flirtatious Omega]

[Top student college girl x North American old-money heiress]

#She is twisted and arrogant. She will do whatever it takes to get what she wants, including with people.

Xie Yunqing was an utterly ordinary, uninteresting Beta, while Lin Lanxi was the Omega goddess at the top of the campus popularity rankings.

They had been dating for years, and Xie Yunqing thought Lin Lanxi didn't mind that she was only a Beta.

Until she overheard Lin Lanxi telling her friends that their relationship was nothing but a bet, a way to pass the time when she was bored.

Xie Yunqing broke up with Lin Lanxi.

That very night, Xie Yunqing stumbled upon a woman in heat.

The woman's scent was as cold as snow, but her body was soft and boneless, clinging like a water snake.

Xie Yunqing then re-differentiated as an Alpha, and her arm ached as she fled.

At the graduation party, a famous alumna returned for a visit. Someone new was by Xie Yunqing's side.

A top-luxury coat, blue diamond earrings. Amber curls, hazel-peach eyes, striking mixed-race features...

And a rich, lingering sweet-snow pheromone, one only detectable after being marked.

The woman Xie Yunqing had accidentally marked that night was Lin Lanxi's aunt:

Ling Tanyuan, the youngest international film queen and heiress to an old-money conglomerate.

"Sign it. Not satisfied? I'll add another twenty million a month." Her British accent was devoid of desire. Her quiet authority softened into tenderness.

Xie Yunqing nearly fell to her knees. Then she looked again.

It was a secret marriage agreement.

*

Ling Tanyuan rose to fame at a young age, winning four major awards with just three works and reaching the pinnacle of international cinema.

Yet she was cold and aloof, and retired from acting shortly after her wins. Rumor had it she had returned to North America to inherit her old-money family's fortune.

Everyone knew she had no interest in romance and kept people at arm's length.

She had recently returned to China to recover, and her fans were going wild.

Ling Tanyuan had an Alpha, and it was a civilian!

It began when someone asked her in an interview what kind of Alpha she liked. Ling Tanyuan smiled.

Afterward, trending searches kept appearing: Ling Tanyuan's hickey, Ling Tanyuan's 200-million-yuan wedding ring, Ling Tanyuan preparing for a wedding in North America, and more.

Not long after, Ling Tanyuan announced her marriage on a dating show with her wife by her side, sending the trending searches into a frenzy.

Xie Yunqing, trapped in Ling Tanyuan's arms and forbidden to leave until she got a kiss, was a little confused.

They had signed a secret marriage agreement. She wasn't in a hurry, so why was Ling Tanyuan so eager?

*

After breaking up with Xie Yunqing, Lin Lanxi regretted it deeply. She repeatedly begged to get back together, but got no response.

Furious, she complained to her friends: "Why did I break up with my ex? Because she was no good in bed, of course. Betas can't mark anyone."

The room suddenly fell silent. Lin Lanxi turned around and saw Ling Tanyuan standing behind her.

"A-Aunt..." Lin Lanxi was most afraid of this stern, aloof aunt, who had a particularly strong will.

"Come on, call me Auntie-in-law." Ling Tanyuan couldn't even be bothered to switch back to Mandarin. She made Lin Lanxi look up and bow.

"...Auntie-in-law." Lin Lanxi bowed, mortified. When she saw Xie Yunqing's face, she could barely speak.

"And here's another piece of good news. I'm pregnant. Remember to come back to Volan for the banquet next month."

With that, Ling Tanyuan left without looking back.

Xie Yunqing stood close beside her, gently stroking her belly and putting her first in everything.

Their friends all looked at Lin Lanxi. Her face was dark with regret.
