[The next novel, Playing with Fire [Entertainment Industry], is now available! Weibo: @Lingyin Cencen Shuishang Zhou] Tang Li transmigrates into a disposable side character in a romance novel from the flower-market genre. The original owner comes from a good family, but is considered a lazy good-for-nothing by the whole clan. She's beautiful but ruthless, and uses her appearance to pretend to be kind and pure so she can marry the female lead. After the wedding, she fools around with Omegas and drugs and imprisons the female lead. After three years of marriage, the female lead is left battered and bruised by her. Once she turns her life around, she meets her true love, and the original owner ends up dying miserably in prison. When Tang Li arrives, the story is at a critical point. Faced with an Omega lying on the bed, cheeks flushed, Tang Li knocks her unconscious, then ducks into the next room, where the female lead, caught in her heat, grabs her and plays blindfold games with her all night. The next morning, the beauty lying beside her has skin fairer than snow, almond-shaped eyes full of allure, and pheromones as fragrant and enticing as a tea garden shrouded in morning mist. A woman like this will draw all kinds of Alphas who want to take her by force, leaving her with no dignity at all. Looking into those misty almond eyes, Tang Li's heart softens. She resolves to protect the female lead until the real love interest arrives. * Qin Shiyang is the heir to the Qin family, yet suffers from a strange poison that leaves her in unbearable pain and itching whenever she goes into heat. After spending that night with Tang Li and getting immediate relief, Qin Shiyang develops a taste for her and offers her a three-year marriage contract. She expects Tang Li to sign it gratefully, but the next moment, the woman's soft cheek brushes against hers. Tang Li wraps her arms around her with solemn tenderness, her voice so gentle it could drip with sweetness. Her catlike eyes sparkle. "Don't be afraid. From now on, I'll protect you." Qin Shiyang: "?" * Tang Li has a secret. Her true form is that of a cat spirit, and she partially transforms whenever she goes into rut. Her wife, whom she picked up along the way, likes to run her fingers over Tang Li's fluffy tail and ears, then... put them to full use. When she gets teased too much, she clutches the tip of Tang Li's tail between her lips, looking soft and helpless. Tang Li always thinks her wife is a poor little thing, so she works hard to make money and support Shiyang. But the story seems to be going more and more off the rails. The instructor at school who bullied her based on her status is soon fired. A colleague who stole her design is forced to return it. Even the beautiful Omega from the original book, who hated her and sent her to prison, blushes and shyly gives her a love letter. It isn't until she sees her seemingly fragile wife leaning lazily in the boss's chair, red lips parting as she shuts down the begging rival company's pleas for mercy, that Tang Li belatedly realizes her bedmate seems to have maxed out every villain buff. Once she realizes she mistook the heroine, Tang Li runs away in the middle of the night. * As the newest Omega heir of the Qin family, Qin Shiyang is known for her ruthless methods and is feared by everyone in their circle. But backstage at a press conference, a server happens to catch a glimpse of something. The usually cool and impartial CEO Qin is nestled in a young Alpha's arms, her pale arms wrapped around the woman's neck as though she can't bear to let go. Her eyes are moist and her voice soft and aggrieved. "Could you please not leave me and go find someone else?" Tang Li, seemingly nonchalant but actually caught by the scruff of fate: "I really don't know her, sob." Oblivious heartthrob, delicate and sensitive younger cat Alpha & ultra-possessive, two-faced older-sister type, pretending to be a coy Omega for love A fluffy, satisfying, sweet story with no concern for logic. A younger lover who loves to act cute, an older lover who indulges her completely. ABO with no extra appendages, plus a touch of nonhuman elements. [Synopsis for the next novel, Playing with Fire ↓] [Willful, arrogant heiress VS scheming, seductive queen] Just after becoming a top-tier star, Chu Xiyue is suddenly told she has only three days to live. To extend her life, she has to get close to a designated person. That person is Su Yan, her most hated rival. Years ago, Chu Xiyue entered the entertainment industry to escape her family's arranged marriage. Her flawless face made her an instant hit, but she accidentally offended the newly crowned Best Actress Su Yan on a variety show. Su Yan came from humble beginnings and fought her way up. After years in the industry, she has no scandals and hates spoiled heiresses like Chu Xiyue most of all. Chu Xiyue thinks Su Yan is too rigid, like a wooden doll, but to stay alive she has no choice but to sign a "humiliating agreement" and pretend to date her rival for a limited time. On a dating show, the director sets up a "hearts racing" challenge. While the other guests coyly test the waters, Su Yan wraps her arms around Chu Xiyue's waist from behind and takes the Pocky stick from her lips with her own. They are inches apart. Su Yan lifts Chu Xiyue's chin with her jade-white fingertips, and Chu Xiyue's heart races as she accuses her of crossing the line. Su Yan calmly pulls away. "It was just a challenge. I'm straight." After the show, they meet again on a film set. Chu Xiyue flubs her kissing scene seven times, so Su Yan steps in to teach her. They kiss until their hair is tousled and neither wants to let go. Su Yan insists it's all for the performance. For Chu Xiyue's birthday, Su Yan arranges fan support at a shopping mall and a coffee cart. The woman rumored to be cold and chaste is unexpectedly alluring around her. When Chu Xiyue has no appetite, Su Yan climbs into her bed to comfort her, all to persuade her to drink a little more seafood congee. At first, Chu Xiyue tells herself, "It's just acting," but before long she's hopelessly caught up in their fake couple act. On the day their contract ends, Chu Xiyue is no longer worried about staying alive. She prepares a careful confession, only for Su Yan to say goodbye without a trace of reluctance. That day, Chu Xiyue learns the bitter taste of heartbreak and grows to hate the games straight women play. From then on, she and Su Yan become the industry's most bitter, inexplicable enemies. After their ship is sunk, they never appear together again, and their fanbases can't stand each other. Later, an entertainment gossip account reveals that the two-time Best Actress Su Yan and top-tier star Chu Xiyue are about to appear together in a historic reunion, setting off a storm online. Soon, the two women who never appear together show up on a dating show, acting cold toward each other. During the day, Chu Xiyue watches Su Yan chatting happily with a female painter. That night, her arranged-marriage partner, whom she's never met, messages her: "Shall we meet?" Chu Xiyue replies, "Marriage wouldn't work. I'm committed to being single. Sorry." Just as she sends the last word, her phone starts buzzing. Chu Xiyue turns and sees a familiar figure at the entrance, her dark eyes reflecting Chu Xiyue's face. The woman slowly approaches and deliberately types out a message in front of her: "What a coincidence. Me too." In a corner of the balcony, Su Yan, rumored to be cool and chaste, dips her slender fingers into a glass of red wine, staining her fingertips a sparkling red. With her other hand, she slowly covers Chu Xiyue's neck, threads her fingers through the woman's long hair, and pins her against the railing, coaxing her into a kiss. "Lick it clean, and I'll go with you." [What do I do if my arranged-marriage partner is the rival I've been entangled with for years? Asking online, and it's pretty urgent!] [She thinks she's pursuing freedom, but the other woman has been carefully laying the groundwork all along. Playing with Fire, and taking the bait.] Theme: Let go of prejudice and see the world with an open heart to experience true love
