The Black Lotus Is Actually a Hopeless Romantic

The story is now more than halfway through. All the foreshadowing and mysteries will gradually be unraveled from here on, so please keep following along, my little angels~ Sending you a heart

[Bright, sunny girl × ill-tempered boy]

[The poor puppy atones for his past life in a wife-chasing crematorium]

In her previous life, Mingyi was a little demon-immortal princess raised in a lofty tower. Though she was noble by birth, she never set foot outside its gates and lived a terribly lonely life, until she met a human slave of low status, covered in scars and shackled in chains.

He kept her company and told her he loved her. He sneaked her out of the tower and promised never to leave her.

But after Mingyi had placed all her trust in him, she discovered that the lowly slave from her past was actually the newly crowned Human Emperor, Si Heng.

All his tenderness and companionship had been for the sake of her precious demon-immortal bloodline.

Yet as she lay dying from blood loss beneath a sky full of red lotus petals, the boy who had tricked her into leaving the tower stumbled toward her, eyes nearly bursting with anguish. Mingyi no longer even wanted to look at him.

*

The good news: Mingyi has been reborn. The bad news: she's lost her memory.

And she's met a fierce, ill-tempered black lotus who is always plotting to take her life! If she hadn't lost all her magic, become too weak to even look after herself, and lost her memories, she'd have stabbed three yandere psychos like him with one sword! Right?

The psycho also seems to have a knack for bad luck.

With him around, Mingyi can simply sit there eating a steamed bun and end up rolling off a cliff. She takes a shortcut on the road and gets dragged into a treasure hunt dispute. She saves someone, only to find out they're the culprit behind a village massacre?!

But what if the fierce, tsundere, yandere boy is kind of cute?

Then Mingyi regains her memories and realizes the psycho is the scumbag from her previous life. She immediately slaps herself twice, packs up, and flees in the middle of the night.

Si Heng, who had just confessed his feelings, stands there with red-rimmed eyes, crushing his pride and coming up with a hundred reasons in his heart to keep following Mingyi. He avoids her disgusted gaze and remains stubbornly behind her.

But no matter how Si Heng breaks his bones and burns himself to ash for her, throwing himself into danger without a second thought, he never wins even a shred of Mingyi's pity again.

The passion and dependence that once belonged to him alone have become a thing of the past, never to return.

Important notes:

1. The heroine did not die for the scumbag in her previous life! She's not some little princess who would casually give up her life for a man!

2. The two of them had a misunderstanding in their previous life.

Here's a story I'm planning to write. If you like it, please add it to your favorites~

My Junior Brother the Villain, Let Me Spoil You

Liu Qinghe transmigrates into an abandoned novel that has been on hiatus for two years, becoming Liu Qinghe, the villain Bai Muxiu's biological senior sister.

In the original story, before he turned evil, Bai Muxiu was a fine young man with a spotless background, every bit the protagonist's equal.

So when the villain suffers one hardship after another and gradually turns evil at the hands of that awful author, Liu Qinghe comforts herself: it's all setting the stage for him to win the beauty of his dreams and conquer the world later!

But the villain actually killed himself! It would be bad enough if a fine pillar of society were beaten half to death, but they actually beat him to death!

System: Main quest: stop the villain from killing himself and keep him alive until the protagonist kills him with one sword!

Liu Qinghe gives up: Even capitalists know to dangle a carrot. You're not even pretending!

System: Raise the villain's happiness level to earn spirit stones!

Liu Qinghe sits bolt upright, though she's on her deathbed: A God of Wealth who gives out gold coins?! Where is he? Leave him to me!

So, when she sees the little villain, who's fourteen years old but the size of a ten-year-old and still afraid to sleep alone at night, Liu Qinghe becomes his mom without a fuss, takes the job without a license, and even recruits a devoted little underling as his follower.

To help the little villain live happily and earn her those gold coins, Qinghe decides to break up the male and female leads and help the villain win the beauty of his dreams.

After they head down the mountain, Qinghe claims there aren't enough rooms and makes the female lead and the villain share one. But why does she end up squeezed into the same little bed with the villain instead?

Qinghe keeps trying. When danger strikes, she immediately shields the protagonist with her own body and pushes the female lead toward the villain. But through a series of mishaps, she ends up curled in the villain's arms!

Qinghe refuses to give up. When the female lead faints, she grabs the protagonist and pushes the villain forward. Go on, give her mouth-to-mouth! But can someone explain why, when she opens her eyes again, the villain is blushing and pulling away from her lips???

Qinghe nearly loses her faith in the Dao. Then one day, she happens to touch the villain's little hand, and the sound of gold coins pouring in suddenly rings nonstop in her mind.

Qinghe is stunned.

Qinghe refuses: No way. I've always thought of him as my son.

Then one day, she accidentally hugs the little villain.

Qinghe looks at the mountain of gold the System deposits into her account and swallows.

W-well... it's not as if she couldn't accept it at all.
