Here's a recommendation for my friend's ongoing novel, Raising the Demon Venerable as a Child. The blurb is at the very bottom. Add it to your favorites if you like it!
This novel's blurb:
A devoted younger puppy-like pursuer × an aloof-seeming, secretly face-loving, gentle older woman
Everyday life as they pine for each other
When Jian Yi first fell in love, she fell for her best friend's older sister.
She went to great lengths to get close to her, again and again, only to be rejected.
Jian Yi thought Song Qingxun was a fantasy she would never attain in this lifetime.
But when she brought a fake girlfriend home to come out to her parents, the usually distant Song Qingxun privately asked her:
"Does what you said about liking me still stand?"
.
Song Qingxun was a university lecturer, busy with work and uninterested in romance.
But one young woman after another confessed to her. She turned them all down, until she met the most persistent one of all.
She was also the prettiest, the one who took her breath away at first sight.
Song Qingxun rejected her as usual, but the girl only grew bolder with every setback, as if she knew exactly what Song Qingxun liked.
A beautiful figure, a low, sexy voice, a carefree yet captivating gaze.
Considering her own "lack of interest in sex," Song Qingxun reluctantly turned her down.
At last, the girl stopped flirting with her and went home with a new girlfriend.
Only then did Song Qingxun realize how unforgettable it was to feel those tingles as the girl's lips brushed her neck.
Without thinking, she let her feelings slip out in a question.
The girl answered with a smile:
"Sister Qingxun, as a teacher and all, you want to try the thrill of a secret affair?"
.
One day after they got together,
Jian Yi found videos of beautiful women that Song Qingxun had liked on her phone. Jian Yi had once used those videos as inspiration to win Song Qingxun's heart.
Song Qingxun tried to explain that she'd liked them by accident, but Jian Yi was already tugging at her tie and leaning close, imitating the video:
"If you want to watch, just tell me, sis. Don't you have an even prettier real-life version right here?"
That night, Jian Yi filmed a video of herself doing the same dance and posted it with an suggestive background track.
Song Qingxun, who usually only liked posts and never commented, saw the whole screen full of netizens calling Jian Yi their wife. At her wit's end, she replied to them one by one that Jian Yi was her wife, but all she got back were replies like, "In your dreams."
So she posted a photo of herself holding Jian Yi's face and kissing her in the comments.
Netizens:
[My love story ended before it even began]
[So I'm part of your relationship roleplay?]
[Everyone laughed at her for imagining things, but it turns out she really is her girlfriend!!!]
[Please become a couple-influencer duo. Don't make me get on my knees and beg you]
1. Mostly from the pursuer's point of view, but the older sister takes the lead later, so this is tagged as switching roles.
2. They are not each other's first. Song had an ex-girlfriend.
3. Nine-year age gap.
3. Thank you to everyone who adds this to their favorites.
Raising the Demon Venerable as a Child
The night top idol Tu Qiqi's carefully crafted image fell apart and became a trending topic, A City was battered by fierce winds and lightning. Her fans didn't get the reversal they were hoping for. Instead, they heard the shocking news that their idol had mysteriously disappeared.
So tell us: where did the nation's first love, the ultimate sweetheart, go?
Tu Qiqi: Thanks for asking. I'm in the cultivation world, just got off a spirit boat, failed my tribulation, and transmigrated...
Now that she's reborn, losing her human form is no big deal. She can just cultivate. Besides, this world is rich in spiritual energy.
A lack of talent is no problem. She'll cultivate twelve hours a day and make sure she outworks every other little monster.
Everything went smoothly until the beast egg she'd picked up hatched...
It was the kind of snake she hated most!
But the little thing was gorgeous and graceful, great at acting cute and clingy, and easy to care for apart from being a bit lazy. Tu Qiqi wanted to get rid of it, but couldn't bring herself to, so she set out on the bright road of cultivating hard, earning money, and raising her baby (wife).
Theme: Perseverance will eventually make your dreams come true
