After My Archrival Senior Brother Heard My Thoughts

The new novel "Kiss of Spring Bones" is now underway: a pampered heiress from Beijing's elite circles X a Chinese-German mixed-race supermodel

Novel blurb:

A fake aloof, emotionally clueless Ghost King heroine X a seemingly gentle but truly deranged, overthinking half-demon hero

Everyone in Xuanyun Heaven says that the second and third disciples of Sword Venerable Yun Heng are deeply devoted to each other. Both are exceptionally talented, and they make a perfect match.

[Heroine's perspective]

Xie Tingyu, the Ghost King whose cultivation had been sealed before she was sent to the cultivation world, doesn't think so. She transmigrated into a book as the original novel's short-lived, beloved first love of its domineering hero, only to end up as the little junior sister of the villain who would destroy the world.

The world-destroying villain seems gentle and kind on the outside, but is a lunatic inside. If not for the Heart-Linking Curse binding them together, who knows how far they would have gone in trying to kill each other?

But why is the world-destroying villain looking at her more and more strangely?

On the night before she fakes her death and escapes, the villain's face is flushed. Xie Tingyu's mind short-circuits for a moment: He's going to... He's forcing me to kiss him!

[Hero's perspective]

Wen Zhiyu is a half-demon who has suffered since birth. He is violent, ruthless, and cold-hearted. On the surface, he is a brilliant sword cultivator, elegant as the moonlight, but in truth, he hates that false, gentle facade more than anything.

Then a little junior sister who seems determined to get herself killed suddenly appears. Before he can react, she places a Heart-Linking Curse on him, and he unexpectedly hears her thoughts.

"Why does she talk so much?"

"The moment the Heart-Linking Curse is lifted, I'll kill her."

"She still has some use. I'll let her live for now."

"Don't mind me. I have my own plans!"

Once, his junior sister came to find him at night. The atmosphere was intimate and tender, and she seemed to want to be with him. Wen Zhiyu barely had time to think. Looking at his junior sister's radiant face, his resolve crumbled in an instant. When she kissed him, he could no longer hold back and let himself sink into it.

For more than a hundred years, he had plotted the destruction of the world with painstaking care, yet his junior sister was the only one to deceive him, and she did it twice.

When he woke again, the Heart-Linking Curse inside him had been broken. His junior sister had died in a tide of demonic creatures, leaving no body behind.

The once-gentle, brilliant sword cultivator was now surrounded by overwhelming demonic energy. He abandoned his plan to destroy the world, revealed his true cultivation, and entered the Demon Abyss to search for his junior sister's remains. He even fought his way into the Ghost Palace with his sword, just to find her soul.

Xie Tingyu, restored to her Ghost King form: Do you hate me that much? You even came to the Ghost Palace to wipe me out?

But he carefully gathered her into his arms. His voice trembled despite himself, full of grievance and what seemed like lingering fear. "Please, don't leave me."

Short scene:

Xie Tingyu: "We're mortal enemies. What is wrong with you?"

Wen Zhiyu, stubbornly denying it: "What does 'mortal enemies' mean? That even in death we must share a grave and never be parted, even when our hair turns white?"

Reader's guide:

① A somewhat unserious heroine in a sweet cultivation fantasy after she transmigrates into a book

② Mortal enemies turn into lovers; the heroine fakes her death, and the hero really loves her

③ The original novel's protagonists have few scenes

④ The cultivation system is an original setting: Youthful Wanderer, Jade of the Mortal World, Journey to the Origin, Sigh of the Unfettered, and Tides on the Horizon. The first four realms each have nine heavens, while Tides on the Horizon has only five. After that comes surviving tribulation and ascending to immortality.

--- Forthcoming novel: "Wasteland Pretty Face, Playing the Fool and Selling Dreams" ---

[Wasteland self-serving heartthrob + play the pig to eat the tiger + secret identity]

When He Nongxi wakes up, she has lost her memory, and a group of researchers in white coats are calling her Experimental Subject 2031.

Bad news: She doesn't even remember her own name.

Worse news: Her muscle memory suggests she probably wasn't a good person before.

After accidentally binding herself to an NPC System, He Nongxi uses it to disguise herself so she can recover her memories and, along the way, evade those hunting her.

He Nongxi at first: There are so many secret identities to keep up appearances as. I can't even pretend to be them all.

He Nongxi later: Hediaan did that. What does He Nongxi have to do with it?

*

She disguises herself as a useless pretty face who is infatuated with the mercenary leader and pesters him relentlessly. By day, she's frail and easy to bully, afraid of mutated creatures. By night, she kills people without blinking and slaughters mutated creatures as easily as chickens.

The mercenaries, who worship strength, all look down on her. Then one day, when the leader, who hates her most, is in mortal danger, several mercenaries on the brink of death see the supposedly "frail" woman looking utterly casual as she strangles a mutated creature that even the leader couldn't handle.

He Nongxi sneers: [You're all useless.]

*

There's a young woman scavenging on Central Street who does nothing but complain that there's nothing worth picking up in the Central Base.

Nobody expects her to get tired of scavenging trash and start killing her way through the Central Base.

She appears at nearly every major assassination.

Everyone: !!!

The remaining powerful families: !! Don't come any closer!!!

*

A hundred-year mutation wave sweeps through Central District One. An extraordinarily powerful Mutation King appears, and even sending nearly all of District One's combat forces proves futile.

Just then, a woman carrying a boxed meal strolls to the front of the group. She yawns, then, before everyone's eyes, throws the meal at the Mutation King's head.

With a single move, she crushes the Mutation King and shocks everyone.

Combat Commander: [Where did this powerhouse come from?]

Mercenary: [Is she really not going back to being a pretty face?]

Little girl who sells batteries: [Isn't she the junkyard owner who collects old batteries?]

Prisoner who accidentally escaped when the prison was damaged: [My cellmate?]

Disheveled heir to a powerful family: [Didn't she tell me she was just an ordinary girl?]

Arrogant black-market big shot: [She really does love me most. She's never hidden her strength from me.]

Bystanders watching the drama, like a melon-eating wild boar lost in a melon field: [Wait, who is she, anyway? Where did she come from?]

He Nongxi: Sorry, I'm not fit for high society or the kitchen. I can pretend to be useless, and I can be a vicious wolf.

Facing her mortal enemies as they rush toward her, she smiles and spits out one word: [Get lost.]

Reader's guide:

① Wasteland bio-mutant apocalypse + supernatural abilities + heartthrob heroine + secret identities. The setting is entirely made up, so don't overthink it.

② The heroine has a low moral threshold. Readers who expect high moral standards from protagonists should proceed with caution.

③ Not a conventional heartthrob story. Everyone has a one-sided crush on the heroine, including dog-training romance tropes. There is a couple, but the plot focuses more on events than romance. Proceed with caution.

④ The heroine is the strongest.

⑤ More than 70% of the cast is female. The men could die at any moment, so don't get your hopes up.

Theme: Treasure life.
