Blurb:

[Optimistic heroine VS an entire cast of villains]

One morning, after a night of nightmares, Rong De suddenly realizes that this world is a giant, old-fashioned Mary Sue comic.

And she is the foil to its beloved heroine.

In the comic, she is wicked by nature and constantly makes life difficult for the poor, innocent heroine. The heroine is so bullied that she can only whimper in a corner, while the men around her are no pushovers either:

The gentle yet obsessive second son of a marquis

The seemingly obedient junior who is secretly a wolf in sheep's clothing

The president, who seems restrained and courteous but is actually lazy and unhinged

The refined, celibate head of the Foreign Affairs Department

The handsome, flirtatious prince from a foreign land

Not only do they deftly counter the comic version of Rong De's foolish, vicious schemes, they also pay her back twice over.

Rong De: "This is a terrible injustice! That is absolutely not the real me!"

After awakening to herself, Rong De continues being herself as usual.

But...

Her childhood friend, the usually gentle second son of a marquis, suddenly takes her hand and confesses his feelings. The sweet younger boy who should have been the one receiving care suddenly fusses over her at every turn. The restrained and courteous president suddenly wants to be her friend. Her gentle, celibate uncle looks expressionlessly at the boy she brings home. Her beautiful, gentle older sister turns out to be a man...

In the end, when the mystery is solved, the twin gods hold her between them and ask in the same sweet, coaxing voice, "So, do you like him or me?"

Reader's Guide:

1. 1v1 ending.

2. The heroine is soft-hearted, but she's a strong fighter and resilient, too.

3. My own take on Western fantasy, with tons of original worldbuilding.

4. This is the author's first work, so I welcome any writing advice. Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments. I'll read them all!

Upcoming novel: So I'm Not a Beta After All? Blurb:

[Cheerful and oblivious & gentle and restrained + doing whatever you please]

Everyone in high society knows that the aloof and ruthless Duke of Bugwen inexplicably picked up a ragged little Beta girl and took her in as his goddaughter. The explosive news was so unprecedented that it swept through afternoon tea conversations in every household.

Everyone wondered what kind of Beta could possibly win the favor of the top Alpha, who had always been so straight-laced and never looked sideways at anyone.

Duke Orel, the Duke of Bugwen's longtime rival, is the complete opposite of Bugwen. He does whatever he wants and acts as he pleases. He hates rigid rules most of all, and he hates Bugwen most of all.

Bugwen took in a little girl as his goddaughter? How strange. If she's the obnoxious Bugwen's goddaughter, then I hate her too.

He approaches the little Beta girl, who wears a tiny dress and looks utterly harmless, with ill intentions. Her bright, dewy eyes remind him of his favorite amber jewels.

Lucia is about to graduate from high school. She should be graduating and returning home to inherit the farm, but her grandfather tells her that she is going to university in the imperial capital. Then he entrusts her to a man who seems to hold a high position and has a cold expression.

"Xibao, you have to be a good girl and listen to Uncle Bugwen. Treat him like your own father, and be close to him."

Lucia has always listened to her grandfather, of course, so she obediently and diligently serves tea and water to the tall, strict Lord Bugwen, and offers him care and concern whenever appropriate.

Lord Bugwen tells me to study hard, so I study, study, study. Lord Bugwen says his desk looks a little bare, so I bring him a flower I grew myself. Lord Bugwen says I'm not allowed to date, so I... Huh? Why is that, my lord?

One day, another man suddenly appears at home, claiming to be Lord Bugwen's best friend.

Of course I have to take good care of Lord Bugwen's friend, too.

Lord Orel has a sore back, so I massage it, massage it, massage it. Lord Orel wants something sweet, so I bring him the little cakes I'm best at making. Lord Orel says he likes my eyes, so I'll give them to him... Huh? I can't give those away, my lord!

Then one day, both lords' eyes suddenly turn feverish.

What's going on?

Reader's Guide:

1. Here comes that familiar flavor again! Western-style romance!

2. A story about the gentle, considerate, restrained, and proper Bugwen falling for her, then realizing that the cheerful girl is also coveted by his arrogant, flashy rival. In the end, both men go crazy.

3. 1v1 ending.
