Blurb:

Zuo Xingning seems to have a knack for attracting trouble. As one of only two artists at her studio, the insult she hears most since her debut is "bloodsucker."

The one being sucked dry is the studio's owner, top-tier star and award-winning actress Chu Shiyin.

And as for Zuo Xingning herself, she really is a genuine vampire.

Too bad she's a vampire who's destined to go hungry.

Because she lives in the room next door, with only a wall between her and her familiar.

Night after night, she can smell the delicious scent of "food," of her beloved, drifting over from that room.

But a familiar can't be food!

The more Zuo Xingning thinks about it, the more upset and aggrieved she gets. She throws off the covers, runs next door, and kisses the sleeping woman.

Chu Shiyin doesn't open her eyes. Feeling around, she pulls her into her arms and murmurs sleepily, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing," Zuo Xingning says, adjusting herself with practiced ease before sinking her teeth into Chu Shiyin's collarbone.

"I'm just hungry."

It's fine if she can't have a proper meal, but she still needs plenty of snacks.

Chu Shiyin doesn't like trouble, and Zuo Xingning is obviously a whole lot of it.

She has no clear past and nowhere to go. She's practically a childish runaway, even though she's already an adult.

After bringing her home and keeping an eye on her for a day, Chu Shiyin decides this girl is also terribly forgetful.

At the very least, she's forgotten Chu Shiyin completely.

With no other choice, Chu Shiyin keeps their past a secret and treats her like an ordinary younger colleague.

But Zuo Xingning doesn't seem to see it that way.

Because a younger colleague wouldn't sneak into her room at night, or look at her as if she were the only treasure in the world. And she certainly wouldn't...

Lure her into surrender like a siren after a few drinks.

One impulsive moment, one reckless mistake.

From then on, Chu Shiyin claims Zuo Xingning as her own.

She never imagined that one day Zuo Xingning would refuse the ring she offered and say something about going to find another little princess.

Chu Shiyin lets out a cold laugh and runs her slender fingertip over the sudden sharp fang in Zuo Xingning's mouth.

So what if she's a vampire?

Chu Shiyin has never failed to get what she wants.

Faked death | Ex-wife pursues her | Transmigrate into a book | Happy ending

On the day Geng Xiaoxiao met Ye Ling, she knew they were completely different people.

Ye Ling shone brilliantly, a rising tech mogul who had taken the reins of power at a young age. Geng Xiaoxiao, having just lost her parents, was an insignificant speck of dust outside Ye Ling's radiant light.

A few years later, an accident brought them together in marriage.

During their year of marriage, Geng Xiaoxiao had lost herself in Ye Ling's arms countless nights. In their most passionate moments, she had heard Ye Ling call her name again and again in a low, husky voice: "Xiaoxiao."

So Geng Xiaoxiao had greedily believed that she mattered to Ye Ling.

But later, when she and Shang Mi'er were kidnapped and Ye Ling could only save one of them, Ye Ling chose her childhood friend without a moment's hesitation.

Watching the two women embrace, reunited after surviving the ordeal, Geng Xiaoxiao felt a dull ache in her heart, yet she laughed.

Lightly, she leapt backward and plunged into the deep sea.

At that moment, a cold, mechanical voice rang in Geng Xiaoxiao's ears.

[Congratulations, Host. The death storyline for Geng Xiaoxiao has been completed.]

Lan Xiao has a secret: she was chosen by the System and sent into the world of a book to complete a mission.

After the mission was complete, the identity of "Geng Xiaoxiao" was discarded. With the System's help, she began a new life under her own name.

Every now and then, Lan Xiao would see someone from her past mentioned in the news.

They said Ye Ling kept returning to that stretch of coast, trying to recover a body that could never be found.

People said she had gone mad.

Lan Xiao's heart was calm as still water. It was like hearing a story about a stranger.

But three years later, she came face-to-face with that person again.

Lan Xiao shamefully ran away.

Anywhere in the world was a good place, as long as Ye Ling wasn't there.

But she never imagined that the woman, cold as an ice sculpture, would come after her.

With red-rimmed eyes, Ye Ling offered her everything she had, begging in the utmost humility, wagging her tail like a dog abandoned by its owner:

"Don't leave me."
