After Failing to Win Over the Enemy Kingdom’s Hostage Prince

Wen Wansheng transmigrates into a book, becoming a cannon-fodder supporting female character who is infatuated with the hero.

Her mission, however, is to win over the lovesick, obsessive male supporting character, who loves the heroine but can't have her and eventually imprisons her.

To get home, she does everything she can to get close to this hostage prince from an enemy kingdom. She stops at nothing, including but not limited to touching his hand, hugging him, kissing him, and merging their flesh and blood...

When an accident leaves him in the path of a sword, she takes the opportunity to fall into his arms, her voice full of tender affection: "If anyone wants to kill you, they'll have to step over my dead body first."

But after diligently pursuing him for six months, she witnesses the target of her conquest begging the heroine to return to his country with him. As her heart sinks, a cold System voice rings in her ears:

"Conquest failed. Your target has been changed."

Pei Huaijing has been held hostage since childhood and knows nothing of human relationships. To use the woman who saved his life, he deliberately suffers a serious injury and collapses on the route she must take.

But instead of the "bright moon" in his heart, a willful noblewoman appears from nowhere.

She's noisy, clingy, and full of lies. She also loves to put her hands on him.

He hates the eyes that brim with her fake affection.

Still, he needs her foolishness and devotion.

After years of struggle, he finally gets his wish, returns to Li, and ascends to the throne in one fell swoop.

But in the dead of night, the figure who once stayed by his side day and night still haunts him.

So the young emperor uses a diplomatic marriage as his excuse to return to the enemy country and put an end to their absurd past.

As his carriage passes the Duke's residence, he casually glances outside.

The woman who swore she would never marry anyone but him is holding a gentle, refined man in her arms, full of love.

He's the youngest chancellor in Chu, and the man she once loved.

In only a few months, she's fallen in love with someone else again.

He ought to feel relieved, but as her lips are about to touch that adulterous man's, only one thought remains in his mind: Kill him.

A flash of cold light cuts through the air, but stops at the very last moment.

The young woman resolutely steps in front of the man, no love remaining in her eyes. "Pei Huaijing, if you dare to kill him, you'll have to kill me first!"

The sword slips from his hand and hits the ground with a shrill clang.

Once, she was the one who protected him.

Blurb written on 07/02/2024

Reader's guide:

1. The heroine will not suffer. It's a fake transmigration-into-a-book story, but really it's about two lifetimes. The blurb uses different perspectives, and there are tons of misunderstandings. He's not a human trafficker.

2. If you think the hero is the one being tormented, then sure, call it that. The hero loves shamelessly clinging to the heroine. Whoever she loves, he loves her. Even if she doesn't just kiss someone else but sleeps with them, he'll still love her. She can misunderstand him to death and he'll gladly take it. She could kill him and he'd be happy. Why can there be inexplicable misunderstandings of the heroine, but not inexplicable misunderstandings of the hero?

Upcoming story: After I Abandon My Heartless Daoist Senior Brother

Mu Ling transmigrates into a book, becoming the cannon-fodder junior sister who tries to break the male protagonist senior brother's heartless path of cultivation.

The heroine in the book is the senior sister, who silently keeps her feelings in her heart so that the hero can have a bright future.

Mu Ling realizes: "So my mission is to bring the hero and heroine together?"

System: "No. You need to seduce the hero, then abandon him, so he'll strengthen his Daoist heart, overcome his romantic tribulation, attain the Dao, and ascend."

Mu Ling: "...That's a little difficult."

System: "Mission reward: one small goal."

Mu Ling: "Okay, boss!"

Xie Yuan is a paragon of virtue, born without desire. He's a sword genius rarely seen in the cultivation world in ten thousand years, and the unattainable flower on a high peak in the eyes of countless disciples.

In the entire cultivation world, only the senior sister of the Qingshan Sect dares to approach him.

But at some point, a delicate female cultivator appears by his side, sticking to him wherever he goes.

She tells him every day that she's in love with him. She not only insults the senior sister, but also says he's hers alone.

He neither likes nor dislikes her.

He simply finds himself defending her when the senior sister tries to expel her from the sect.

No one knows that, within a few months, the young woman has completely devoured the inexperienced young sword cultivator, who has always restrained himself and followed the rules.

After that day, Xie Yuan loses his composure and goes into secluded cultivation without a word, staying there for a full forty-nine days.

Everyone thinks he's about to attain the Dao and ascend.

On the day the young man emerges from seclusion, the whole sect waits outside. Mu Ling is no exception.

Only after seeing with her own eyes that the young man in white has successfully attained the Dao and emerged unharmed does she finally feel at ease, quietly checking with the System about her reward.

Before leaving, Mu Ling sincerely apologizes: "Congratulations, Senior Brother. I was young and foolish before. Please don't hold the past against me."

To make him believe she's changed, she adds with a bright smile, "Don't worry, Senior Brother. I'm engaged now, so I won't bother you anymore."

The young man gazes at her for a long time, then gently strokes her face with cool fingertips.

Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, he bends down and kisses the heart of his Dao.

"Who else does Junior Sister think she can marry besides me?"

After I Force the Minister of Justice's Deputy to Marry Me

Headstrong, looks-obsessed heiress x aloof, upright, unattainable beauty

Shen Mingshu is breathtakingly beautiful, but in the capital, she's not famous for her looks.

She's an absolute beauty addict, the sort who'll spend a fortune and bankrupt herself for a handsome man. Luckily, her mother is a princess and her father the Minister of Revenue, so the family can afford it.

Over the years, she's taken a liking to dozens of young gentlemen, if not hundreds.

Whether they come from humble families or noble ones, if they have good bone structure, she throws money at them.

She's always gotten what she wanted, and over time it's started to bore her.

Until this year's Qixi Festival, when she goes south to Jiangnan and walks straight into the arms of a man in white beneath a rain-soaked corridor.

The moment their eyes meet, there's only one thought in her mind: So handsome, so handsome, so handsome.

She tries her old tricks, piling mountains of gold and silver in front of him.

But for the first time, it has no effect.

In the end, she simply follows the plot of a romance novel and locks him inside a golden house.

He agrees to stay, but remains as cool as snow and as distant as the moon.

Fine. She will pluck this flower from its high peak!

Xie Xunli, deputy minister of the Court of Judicial Review, goes south on a secret imperial order to investigate a case under an assumed name.

He expects the criminals to be the most troublesome part, but instead finds himself dealing with a "vulgar" woman trying to abduct a man. She may not be very brave, but her lust is boundless.

He's never hated anyone this much. And yet she likes him very, very much.

At first, he only wants to use her.

Later... so be it. The deed is done. He'll take her back to the capital and marry her, then tell her the truth slowly. She's timid, so she might not be able to take it all at once.

After returning to the capital, he quickly discovers three interesting things.

First, she's a princess.

Second, she seems to be afraid of marriage.

Third, he isn't the only man waiting to marry her.

Not long after their wedding.

At long last, after seeing her husband off, Shen Mingshu rubs her aching back and decides to sneak away to Jiangnan for some fresh air. So much for restraint, propriety, and cool abstinence.

He's clearly a jealous, suspicious, resentful man who grew up steeped in vinegar.

She kind of misses the carefree days when she spent money like water and wandered among all the flowers.

Thinking this, she lifts the carriage curtain and suddenly tumbles into a cool, crisp embrace.

Her hand moves faster than her brain, instinctively feeling his firm chest.

"H-Husband? What are you doing here?!"

The man catches her wrist as she tries to pull away and says unhurriedly, "I'm here to catch a criminal."

"Let me expla, "

Before she can finish, he covers her lips.

The person who was just feeling guilty can't help but part her lips and respond.

He becomes even more enthusiastic.
