Recruiting a Dragon-Proud Protagonist as My Sidekick

[Dear readers, I'm revising the novel, so please be patient! I'm working hard on the chapters!]

*

Chu Jiangli, a top genius in physics, suddenly transmigrates into a harem novel about a chosen one. The System actually wants her to throw herself at the male lead and die miserably, becoming his walking blood bank?!

She stomps the System to pieces. "Get lost! I can shine all on my own!"

With the System no longer keeping watch over her, she decides to let loose, rebuild her cultivation, blast the chosen one, and find a way home!

But along the way, she runs into a handsome man and accidentally forms a spirit-pet bond with him. A glowing chain of light binds them together, and they can't separate no matter what.

The man turns bright red with anger, even the tips of his ears flushing. "Y-you, let go of me!"

Chu Jiangli: ?! Get lost.

The man, forced to roll on the ground right then and there:

Chu Jiangli: "w", He's kind of like a puppy~

When they realize the bond really can't be undone, the man has no choice but to grit his teeth and follow her.

From then on, Chu Jiangli has a gorgeous, haughty little tagalong at her heels.

*

Though her little tagalong gets riled up every day and snaps at everyone, whenever he meets a fox of a man, he shoots them a glare from three miles away.

But surprisingly, he's quite useful as her bonded spirit dog.

When she needs a vein of ore, he sets up a formation. When she needs to kill someone, he hands her a blade. And when the villains surround them, he sustains severe injuries to carry her out of the encirclement.

Blood spatters across the puppy's pale face. Chu Jiangli stares, momentarily dazed, and gently wipes it away. "Hey, do you want to break our bond?"

Her puppy tagalong: "First, my name isn't Hey! Second, I... What?! You can't break the bond!"

Just as Chu Jiangli and her little tagalong are blasting the great sects, the long-dormant System suddenly appears.

"Congratulations, Host, on correcting the original story. Next mission: fake your death and become the male lead's unforgettable first love to unlock your deluxe homecoming package!"

Chu Jiangli is stunned...

Say that again? Who's the male lead?

My dog? That dog of a male lead who's surrounded by beauties?

After a moment's silence, she decides that a leopard can't change its spots, and getting home matters more. So she steels herself, breaks the bond, and leaps from the city wall

When she opens her eyes again, she's still in the book. Seeing her dark expression, the System trembles. You have to finish the entire plot before you can go home...

"How far along is the plot?"

The System: It's a mess, all of it! The male lead really has gone crazy...

Coming next: Catching an Ex to Hunt Ghosts

Blurb:

[Two-layered worlds: a cyberpunk city and a Tang-style ghost realm. The entire novel will be free until completion.]

Xu Shuyi once found a badly wounded, blind Daoist priest. With sweet talk, she persuaded him to date her and tried all kinds of blindfold play.

The Daoist was pale and beautiful, yet maddeningly demanding. When passion took hold, a flush would spread beneath the white blindfold, and he'd ask hoarsely if she still wanted more.

The moon sank, trembling, and she fell fast asleep, only to hear him say it still wasn't enough.

Later, she couldn't take it anymore. She broke up with him and threw away the protective charm he'd given her as a token of their love.

Before long, she began to be haunted by strange things and couldn't sleep through the night. Her best friend gave her the address of a ghost-exorcism master and told her to try her luck.

She took a look: Master Cheng Yuan. Wasn't that her ex?

She threw on a disguise overnight, put on a voice changer, and knocked on her ex's door. "Master, I'm a fellow Daoist from the north. I heard you can exorcise ghosts?"

Her ex, now able to see spirits: ?

You think I can't see you?

*

To get Cheng Yuan to help exorcise the ghosts, Xu Shuyi showers him with sweet talk.

But he says she's naturally fickle and full of lies, throws her down the mountain, and tells her never to disturb his cultivation again.

She seeks help from other masters, but keeps stumbling into vengeful spirits for no apparent reason. These ferocious ghosts fight to make a pact with her and profess their love. She can't escape them.

Then comes the night when a hundred ghosts roam. Cheng Yuan's sword cuts through them all. His white blindfold falls away, revealing tear-bright golden eyes.

He asks her, "Why can everyone else form a bond of destiny with you, while I alone cannot?"

"What's a bond of destiny?"

"Those who fall in love are bound together for three lifetimes."

Coming Soon: Why Go to School If You're Broke?

Blurb:

Ding Yuan is a genius girl with dreadlocks who grew up in a garbage dump. After getting into the Federation's aristocratic military academy, she finds the tuition and room and board so expensive that she'll have to take out a loan?!

Interviewer: "How about our low-interest loan service? Just put up some of your organs as collateral, or work for the Federation for thirty years!"

Ding Yuan: ...

After taking out the loan, Ding Yuan works eight jobs a day. While her classmates throw money around at dances, she fixes power lines in the acid rain. While they buy new planets for vacations, she mines ore and builds infrastructure on garbage planets.

She works hard and keeps her mind on making money, but...

Why are all those rich kids throwing money around staring at her like that? Their looks are so weird.

*

I'll overthrow the rich kids and take first place myself!

A story about being irresistible and training dogs until they all bark!
