After My Demanding Dad Moved into My Family

Next book: Get Lost! I'm Not Gay. Fake-siblings romance + a woman disguised as a man. Clingy little sunshine X cool, distant moon in the sky

Su Da was mocked as an orphaned wild child from the time she was young, but she never cared.

Whoever said that, she would just beat them up.

Later, she was finally able to stay by her father's side, so she curbed her temper, thinking she could live a good life. She never expected her father to be unreliable too.

That was a small matter. The worst part was being ambushed by bandits while returning to the capital after an inspection. All her savings vanished overnight like morning mist, and she even got saddled with a burden.

When she and her father finally returned to Chang'an with their "burden," she stared at their dilapidated old house and clenched her fists. Her current goal was to earn two hundred coins to put the door back on, patch the roof, and buy two sets of furniture.

But after several failed business ventures, she turned the ten copper coins in her palm over and over, staring blankly at the persimmon tree in the courtyard.

Suddenly, a persimmon went splat beneath her feet, bursting into golden juice. The fruit rolled off her new Confucian-style skirt, leaving a glaring yellow stain on the white fabric. She stared dazedly at the white hem for a moment, then gritted her teeth and glared at the man picking persimmons in the tree, suppressing her rising anger. Good thing! She still had free labor.

So she deftly slipped the coins in her hand into her pocket, looked up at the tree, put away her murderous glare, and said sweetly, "My dear sir! You look like a real expert at climbing trees. Surely you can handle a roof too, so how about..."

"My lady, you want me to study for the civil service exams, and you also want me to do chores and sweep the house. The Master said, 'You can't have it both ways.'" The white-robed gentleman stood among the thick branches, delivering the most infuriating words in the most guileless, sincere tone, his face expressionless.

Su Da's teeth clattered. "Did I marry a living lord?!"

In the twelfth year of Yongchun, the residence of Censor Su made preparations for a wedding, and a down-and-out scholar married into the Su family.

The scholar was ordered around and beaten by Miss Su, and forced to study behind closed doors to bring glory to the family. At last! In the spring of Yongchun's thirteenth year, the scholar passed the highest imperial examination, and the two divorced!

But little did anyone know, on a dark and stormy night...

A beautiful woman leaned against Grand Tutor Su's chest, her voice sweet as she called, "Su Shiqing, your plan to escape by faking your death is child's play. You know what to do, right?"

"Whatever my lady wishes, she shall have."

Thrifty little sunshine X a lovesick schemer who acts all coy

Note: The male lead has amnesia early on, and it's genuine amnesia. He also appears quite late.

Blurb for the next upcoming book.

Xie Xi was raised doted on and knew how to enjoy herself. From childhood, she lived by one rule: She could take a loss, but she would never suffer.

So even though she had only just returned home from the poor, remote village where she'd lived for over a decade, she quickly fit in with the capital's young wastrels. She even effortlessly fell in with several scions of noble families who gave their households headaches.

She spent all day carousing with them, gambling, cockfighting, walking dogs, and chasing pleasure. She thought she could go on living such a carefree, comfortable life.

Then her mother, who had gone mad, demanded she accomplish a task as unlikely as finding millet on a horse's horn.

"You're a child of the Xie family too. Why can't you compete for the title of heir?"

Xie Xi pressed a hand to her forehead. Her chest must have been bound too tightly today. Why did she feel like she couldn't breathe?

Mother, wake up! Never mind the laws of inheritance, or her infamous reputation as a wastrel throughout the capital.

With her identity as a woman already almost exposed, would getting involved in this only make them die faster?

Xie Zhao was the complete opposite of Xie Xi.

If Xie Xi was mud at the bottom of a pond, Xie Zhao was the bright moon in the sky. Elegant and noble, aloof and immaculate, he was like a flawless piece of jade no one could touch.

Unfortunately, he had been born into the precarious Xie family. Unable to offer him any support, they had left him as nothing more than a secretary at the Imperial Academy.

Among the younger generation, as fair as white jade against sand, inheriting the title had been a foregone conclusion, with no other likely candidate.

Until one day, a little cat silently reached out a furry paw toward it.

Xie Zhao simply watched her coolly, without revealing his thoughts, and began to observe her.

But he never expected the little cat to surprise him by rolling over to show her belly, tucking away her barely noticeable claws and using only her soft pink paw pads to coaxingly tug at his clothes.

"Brother, I have no ulterior motives toward you."
