Slowly moving them over.) *Please note! These are not conventional gender-bender stories! There are no domineering female CEOs aggressively flirting with soft, delicate male leads. The heroines here may be sickly, gentle, down on their luck, or poor, but they must love themselves most and hold on to their ideals. The male leads here may be lovesick, gloomy, insecure, or crazy, but they must put the heroine above all else and uphold the virtues of a good husband, becoming the gentle refuge a powerful woman can return to after battle. *Humble, obscure author begging for book recommendations and adaptations (you have to dare to dream!) Here’s a future story. Please bookmark and recommend it Mu Sanyue is a recent liberal arts graduate from a non-elite university, a poor, penny-pinching female alpha. At just twenty-two, she’s already endured nineteen years of crushing poverty. She hasn’t had much luck. She studied so hard in high school that her nose bled, only to do poorly on the college entrance exams and end up at some random university. During summer vacation, she spent three months laying cement at a construction site to pay her tuition. She’s also had her share of luck. After sleeping at construction sites and handing out flyers, she was swindled out of her money at a nightclub, where she met the sweet, naive rich kid Lu Zhaoxuan. Lu Zhaoxuan has money and free time, and believes in true love. When he hires a stand-in, he’s generous to a fault. The deal offers a base salary of ten thousand, plus travel expenses, wardrobe costs, late-night meal allowance, and triple pay for overtime. Under those conditions... Mu Sanyue was completely won over. So what if she wasn’t allowed into the upstairs bedroom? So what if nobody else could find out? So what if she had to pretend to be an omega, playing Lu Zhaoxuan’s sickly, dearly departed first love? Was it really harder than mixing cement at a construction site? Three years flew by. Thanks to her side gigs, Mu Sanyue was finally discovered by a senior student and hired to act in silly short dramas just before graduation. Her acting was polished, her standards had sunk to rock bottom, and she smoothly moved on to a new sugar daddy. Her new benefactor was a former top-tier star, a divorced father with a child who was a gentle male Mom. He was generous, emotionally lonely, and more than happy to join her in playing up their couple image. Mu Sanyue didn’t choose between them. She sent Lu Zhaoxuan a resignation letter in the middle of the night, with one simple line: “I quit, but you’re paying me N+2.” Mu Sanyue knew she was shameless, but she was even more certain that Lu Zhaoxuan was sensitive, prone to overthinking, and haughty. He’d definitely turn his anger into a cold number in her bank account, then add a “get lost”... She waited for the money, but her phone stayed silent. The doorbell rang instead. Mu Sanyue opened the door, and there stood her beautiful benefactor, who’d rushed over after staying up all night. He looked like a ghost as he hurled his suitcase, wallet, keys, and bank cards at her one by one, then threw himself at her too. His usually sharp tongue stumbled over the words, and Lu Zhaoxuan was furious, tears falling against his will: “Wasn’t everything I gave you enough? How could you go behind my back and find another boss?!” The heroine and male lead alternate viewpoints. Odd-numbered chapters are from the heroine’s perspective; even-numbered chapters are from the male lead’s. A little story about a hamster carrying off someone’s beloved first love. Female alpha, male omega, but with spirit-animal forms A snarling spider × a little finch who can melt into a puddle Theme: We’re all on the same wavelength
