Ghost Lord, Hear Me Out: This Lackey Has No Desire to Be Reborn

I'm not very happy with this one. I recommend you don't read it.

A tough, sharp-tongued heroine who only cares about her career x a handsome, obsequious hero who's a total nutcase early on and a scheming green tea later

Yan Heqing x Gu Yu

Gu Yu was one of the unluckiest people alive. Even after he died, he couldn't rest in peace. His soul fell into the Abyss, where a certain ghost lord forcibly brought him back to her estate.

According to the rumors, the ghost lord was cruel and sinister, with ruthless methods. But the Abyss was full of dangers, and Gu Yu decisively gave up his dignity to stay alive. He willingly became the ghost lord's lackey, waiting on her hand and foot, and managed to live a life where he could throw his weight around thanks to her. Then he was regretfully informed that his good days were over. Fate had decreed that he must be reborn. Gu Yu froze on the spot.

Yan Heqing, ghost lord of the Northern Domain, was guided by fate one day to pick up a ghost from the Abyss. Though he was handsome and powerful, all he wanted was to be her lackey.

She found him rather amusing. And with fate impossible to defy, the two of them were bound together after all, joining hands to cross all twelve cities of the Ghost Domain, never abandoning each other in life or death.

Whether in this life or the next, you're the only one I choose. Even if thorns block the road and there's no way home, I will never let go. Through a thousand lives and a hundred generations, my love will never waver.

Gu Yu: My lord, you know I only want to be your lackey.

Yan Heqing raised an eyebrow and sneered. "What a coincidence. I also want you to fully understand what it means to throw your weight around thanks to your backer."

An unconventional, trope-subverting adventure with power-ups. If you're passing by, please add it to your favorites.

A powerful team, devoted to each other, with a male lead who specializes in flirting with the heroine, a heroine focused on her career, and a couple who team up to take down scumbags. Neither lead is a good person in the traditional sense, so read at your own risk.

My upcoming story next door is the fantastical, silly, sweet romance A Quince for You, a tale of an aloof beauty meeting an emotional con artist, followed by unrequited love and possessive devotion. Here's the blurb:

You give me a quince, and I repay you with jade.

Qiong Acuo never imagined that, after cultivating painstakingly for over a hundred years as a quince spirit and nearly attaining complete merit, someone would pluck her true form from the tree.

The person carefully cradled her in their arms, then tossed her away with a mighty throw. She hit a handsome young man's head squarely. The young man fainted, and Qiong Acuo burst into tears on the spot. She hadn't even taken human form yet, and already she'd landed herself in a murder case. Fortunately, the young man was blessed with good fortune and had a mild temper. When he woke up, he didn't hold it against her.

Qiong Acuo decided he seemed like a good fellow, perfect for taking advantage of.

As a demon, she had an innate ability to see people's fortunes, and could occasionally spot a red thread or two. This handsome young man's fortune was excellent, and staying by his side would greatly benefit her cultivation. To stay with him, Qiong Acuo came up with every excuse she could think of until they swore brotherhood.

He was truly a good big brother and treated her wonderfully. It was just that sometimes, when he saw her with someone else, he would inexplicably sulk. But after they went to the capital, more and more young women and demons gathered around him, and the handsome young man's good fortune was soon divided among them. Qiong Acuo was terribly sad about it for a while. After learning her lesson, she decided to find someone else.

She was gone for three years. One day, a group of demon hunters attacked her, and she fell into an abyss, gravely wounded and unconscious. When she woke, the handsome young man was caring for her as tenderly as he had three years before. Qiong Acuo was deeply moved. She beat up most of the demons around him who were borrowing his good fortune, then helped him identify where his destined match was. But just as she was about to leave, she saw the handsome young man, his face cold as frost, pull out a chain and a demon-binding talisman.

Qiong Acuo trembled and forced herself to play dumb. "...Big brother, wasn't I your sweet little sister?"

The handsome young man smiled in a way that sent chills down her spine and said slowly, "Of course, sweet sister. But I never said I'd be your big brother forever."

Since she had such poor judgment of people, and would get hurt no matter whose side she stayed on, perhaps she should just be trapped by his side for the rest of her life. At least he could protect her. Even if he had to resort to any means, even if... she would hate him.

A habitual con artist who thinks he's devoted but is actually heartless x an aloof beauty who thinks she's heartless but is actually devoted

Qiong Acuo x Wei Zhao

Both leads are devoted to each other. More or less, it's a story about an aloof beauty whose feelings are toyed with until she goes mad for love.

Theme: Even in adversity, strive to improve yourself
