Hot Summer

Blurb One:

Gu Qingmo dreamed of Wen Heyun again.

In the sweltering height of summer, the girl smiled at her in a white pleated skirt. Even the sunlight favored her. The breeze stirred her black hair, and her smile shone brighter than the blazing sun.

The girl's light, clear voice rang out, as if right beside her ear.

"Am I in your dreams, Gu Qingmo?"

When she woke, Gu Qingmo took a moment to collect herself, then looked out at the snowflakes swirling past the window. In a daze, she remembered that this was already the fifth year since Wen Heyun had left.

It wasn't summer, and Wen Heyun wasn't by her side.

Wen Heyun was a migratory bird out of season, who had simply stopped in Gu Qingmo's life for a while.

Later, the bird who had flown far away returned home, and Gu Qingmo finally got the late-arriving summer she had waited for.

Blurb Two:

Reunion, the one who got away, teenage years, unrequited love

Watching Wen Heyun walk toward her, Gu Qingmo thought she would have to describe it like this:

I reunited with the girl I had a crush on when I was young, the one who got away.

As a teenager, Gu Qingmo was unruly and hard to tame, a troublemaker in her teachers' eyes.

But she was also exceptionally talented, and countless people were in love with her. Whether Alpha or Omega, she ignored them all.

Until Wen Heyun arrived and brought all sorts of new colors to Gu Qingmo's boring school life.

Wen Heyun was beautiful, talented, kind, and unpretentious. No one could dislike her.

Gu Qingmo was no exception. But teenagers can be too slow to understand their own feelings. When love was at its strongest, she couldn't recognize it, and always realized it too late.

Only after Wen Heyun went abroad did Gu Qingmo realize that her young, tender affection hadn't faded with time. Instead, it had grown more and more intense, until it seemed ready to drown her.

Five years was neither a long nor a short time, but it was long enough to change someone. Gu Qingmo had become more reserved, and the sharpness of her youth had entirely receded. She sat a little awkwardly, facing Wen Heyun, whom she hadn't seen in five years. Wen Heyun had grown even more beautiful and mature. No longer the slightly childish girl she had been five years ago, she was now a captivating adult.

"It's been a long time, Gu Qingmo."

After their long separation, Gu Qingmo hadn't expected anything to come of things with Wen Heyun. Five years lay between them, but Gu Qingmo couldn't bear for their relationship to stop at being old friends reunited. Yet the feelings buried deep inside her made her hesitate at every turn.

Unexpectedly, Wen Heyun would take the initiative to ask her out, carefully remember her current likes, take her hand when they crossed the street, talk to her on the phone for a long time before bed, beg her to carry her when her legs got tired, and tell her to miss her while she was away on business...

Gu Qingmo couldn't figure out what Wen Heyun was getting at.

Wen Heyun had always liked teasing her. Gu Qingmo was afraid that it would all come to nothing, and that in the end they wouldn't even be friends.

Then, during Wen Heyun's heat, she tossed aside the suppressants Gu Qingmo offered, hid in her arms, pressed her closer with both hands, and begged Gu Qingmo to help her.

Gu Qingmo finally couldn't hold back any longer. She gazed seriously at the person in her arms and asked,

"Have you made up your mind?"

Wen Heyun had no time to answer, and Gu Qingmo didn't expect one.

The Rebirth of the Betrayed

Blurb One: Gu Wuyue was the second disciple of Sword Venerable Hengyue of Qingyun Sect. She had always been steady and well-behaved.

She couldn't match her junior sister's extraordinary talent, her senior brother's diligence, or her junior brother's gift for winning people's affection.

They had been together for decades, and she had long regarded them as family, treating them with wholehearted sincerity. When her junior sister was poisoned, she searched for medicine and ended up covered in injuries. When her junior brother needed a lifebound sword, she sought out rare treasures to forge one for him and was hurt by the alchemy flames. When her senior brother was imprisoned by demons, she went alone to save him and lost half her Golden Core.

And her master, the one she revered as a god, was the one for whom Gu Wuyue took a sword strike, severing all her spiritual meridians and leaving her unable to wield a sword ever again.

She was the most ordinary person on Lingyun Peak, so sacrificing her cost nothing.

Her body was crushed to pieces and her soul annihilated. That was the end Gu Wuqing awaited.

As she was about to vanish, Gu Wuqing didn't look at her master or fellow disciples. She looked instead at a bird spreading its wings on a branch.

She thought, If there is another life, I don't want to be an immortal sect disciple or a Sword Venerable's disciple. I want to be a bird in the sky.

To fly far and high, free and unrestrained.

She could only hope for another life...

Blurb Two:

Gu Wuyue was a complete and utter fool.

Grateful for Sword Venerable Hengyue's kindness in taking her in, she treated her master and fellow disciples as family and exhausted herself for their sake. In the end, they all turned against her.

She lived like a fool and died a pathetic death.

In her past life, she had offered up her sincere heart only to have it shattered. Now that she had another chance, she would do as she pleased and stop bothering with all that nonsense.

She wouldn't give up an inch of what belonged to her.

But the very people who had betrayed her in her last life now kept flocking to her. Gu Wuyue watched them coldly, finding the whole thing absurd.

Rong Feiyu: "Little fox, those people keep staring at you. Do you know them?"

Gu Wuyue glanced at the familiar faces in the crowd and replied coolly, "No."

Rong Feiyu chuckled and leaned into Gu Wuyue's arms, enjoying her little Dao companion's tender care. Seeing the others' stiff expressions, she felt scornful.

They mistook a priceless pearl for a worthless stone. What a bunch of fools.

Next book: Scum Alpha, Loves Being a Dog for Bad Women [Quick Transmigration]

Blurb: They were beautiful and capable, the cream of the crop in everyone's eyes. They were also scum Alphas, consumed by greed and using their power for personal gain. Everyone was a pawn in their hands. Driven by their desires, they stopped at nothing to climb higher. These black-hearted, ambitious schemers had only a sliver of lofty, patronizing compassion left, but everyone was expected to make way for their desires.

In the end, the scum Alphas sitting alone atop their high towers found only emptiness after achieving their ambitions and the loneliness of having no one. They began to miss the scraps of warmth in their memories, the things that might have been called love, feelings they could never recover even at the end of their lives. Finally, driven to despair, they chose to destroy themselves.

By chance, the Self-Rescue System 1001 bound itself to this group of Hosts. Given another chance, what would they choose?
