New Love, Old Flame

New story now available: My Dear Young Lady, I Love You 365 Times

Yuman was Chu Li's secret lover for eight years. In the end, all she got was this:

"She was just a useful tool."

That night, in a smoke-filled private room, Chu Li faced Yuman's relentless questioning. Holding a microphone, she shouted without restraint, "You want a title, too? Tell me... do you deserve one?"

The room erupted in laughter.

Yuman knew then that she didn't deserve one.

-

On a night of pouring rain, Chu Li called Yuman over and over again. She missed her so badly that the longing drove her mad.

She thought that if she lowered her head just once, Yuman would surely come back without hesitation.

Then someone answered. It was a familiar woman's voice. Chu Li was stunned, and her heart began to race. In an awkward, unfamiliar tone, she asked if this was Yuman's number.

Deep down, she clung to the hope that the woman would say she'd dialed the wrong number.

But after a long silence, the woman on the other end said, "Sorry, Yuman's making me a strawberry cake right now. Why don't you call her tomorrow?"

When they were together, Chu Li had threatened that Yuman was never to go into the kitchen for anyone else. Only Chu Li was allowed. Back then, Yuman's face had been full of indulgent smiles. She'd pulled Chu Li into her arms and kissed her, nodding solemnly.

At that moment, Chu Li suddenly realized she might have lost her precious girl for good.

-

I'd been lost for a long time. But when I finally found my way home again, it had a new owner: Chu Li.

Upcoming story 1: The Demon Slave's Secret Desire

How long do humans live?

Thirty years? Fifty? Or perhaps eighty?

How long do gods live?

Three thousand years? Five thousand? Or for as long as heaven itself?

Would a god care about a tiny human?

Qian Zhi knew the answer.

Yes!

Her god had saved her, and she wanted to drag her god down from her throne!

*

Qian Zhi was the lowest-ranking demon slave in the Demon Abyss.

Her life was short, lasting only three hundred years. To demonkind, who could live for tens of thousands of years, she was as insignificant as an ant.

As she lay dying, her god saved her.

That god was Yan Yue, the revered High God Pei Qing, feared and respected by all beneath heaven.

Qian Zhi deliberately seduced Yan Yue, letting her experience human pleasure and the deepest love the mortal world had to offer.

Then she would abandon her cruelly, look down on her, slowly drive the Sword of Severed Love into her heart, and finally drain the grief-fueled power within her, power enough to destroy heaven and earth. And Qian Zhi would rise to the highest seat, looking down upon all living beings!

Qian Zhi became the new High God of the Three Realms, the Infernal Demon God, revered, feared, and worshipped by all. The demons who had once tormented her had their bones crushed, one by one.

Qian Zhi thought she would forget the past, forget her humiliation. But much later, she realized that she still hated everything connected to Yan Yue.

In that mortal city of cultivators, the first person she would make an example of was an ordinary young woman who resembled Yan Yue!

*

Yan Yue had been brought to the Four Clarity Mountain by her master as a child to cultivate. She had exceptional spiritual roots and made rapid progress. The day she ascended, the Heavenly Dao let out a long sigh, and several words appeared in her divine consciousness: Cut off love and desire.

Yan Yue failed. So she died. But when she opened her eyes, she had just been born beneath a woman's body. Then she discovered that in this life, she had no spiritual roots for cultivation.

It didn't matter. She would still fight her way up to the Ninth Heaven and reclaim everything that belonged to her!

* Qian Zhi will chase her wife to the crematorium. She'll suffer terribly.

Upcoming story 2: Falling for My Brother's Girlfriend

Yin Chun fell in love with her brother's girlfriend at first sight.

On New Year's Day, Yin Jun brought his girlfriend home to meet their parents.

One look was all it took for Yin Chun to fall for her.

Along with that first spark of attraction, four words appeared in her mind: shameless and without decency.

Yin Chun tried to avoid this sudden attraction, but Shu Man's casual flirtations kept her flustered and irritable.

She thought she might as well indulge herself for the next few days. Once everyone went their separate ways after the New Year, she'd pull herself together.

After being cold and distant for days, Yin Chun suddenly turned clingy, showering Shu Man with affection, cuddles, and hugs. The Yin family, who had thought she was unhappy about losing their attention, were relieved. As long as their spoiled daughter didn't dislike her new sister-in-law, that was all that mattered.

After the New Year, Yin Chun quickly pulled away from her feelings. She deliberately stopped keeping up with Shu Man and no longer bombarded her with messages if they went even an hour without seeing each other, like she had during the holiday.

Two months after they parted, her brother called and said Shu Man had come to her city to look for work. She didn't know anyone there, so he asked Yin Chun to help her and see if she could stay at her place.

With honey right in front of her, should Yin Chun take a taste?

Someone as bad as her probably wouldn't let the opportunity pass...

*

Shu Man: Professional, temporary New Year girlfriend.

Two thousand a day, guaranteed to satisfy the client.

Except... the client's little sister doesn't seem to like her very much?

Bored, and good at flirting if nothing else, Shu Man decided to give the younger girl a whole new perspective.

She kept playing around until she realized she'd gotten in over her head.

After the New Year:

On the first day Yin Chun didn't contact her, she wondered if Yin Chun was busy with work.

On the second day Yin Chun didn't contact her, she wondered where the clingy girl from before had gone.

On the nth day Yin Chun didn't contact her, Shu Man flipped the table. Was Yin Chun messing with her? She was always the one who put a time limit on things. No one had ever done it to her!
