Malformed Obsession

[Angst] [Male Rivalry] [Love Triangles] [Everyone Loves Her]

Xia Xiaoshi knew her tastes were a little strange.

She liked watching men get irritated, seeing their annoyance and restraint. Especially handsome men: when their usually cold, beautiful faces suddenly came alive, their thick brows furrowed, their eyes turned impatient, and their pale, thin lips pressed together, all accompanied by the slight rise and fall of their chests and a trembling exhale. It all delighted her.

That was why she kept pestering Lu Huaizhi despite being rejected several times.

What could she do? He was her childhood friend, and he wasn't going anywhere.

But then, by chance, she found a new toy.

An eighteen-year-old green apple, fresh off the branch: unbearably tart, yet tender and juicy. He was far more interesting than the poisonous ice mountain back home, who was used to weathering every storm. Even his angry expressions were never the same twice.

With the new semester came the green apple, and Xia Xiaoshi's sophomore year suddenly got a lot more exciting.

A cool, handsome female guitarist who moved into her dorm after a romantic entanglement; a popular upperclassman from another school who played as the main attacker on its volleyball team; an unassuming, antisocial classmate who seemed to have two sides...

Before long, Xia Xiaoshi's name would be all over the campus forums.

She was a hunter determined to get what she wanted,

and they were prey who willingly sank into her trap.

Borrowed Luck

Synopsis: [Angst] [Male Rivalry] [Love Triangles] [Everyone Loves Her]

Immortal Lord Shen Muqing of the Sufeng Sect lived a life of brilliance and integrity. His noble character earned him the world's admiration. The only wrong thing he ever did was borrow the mortal woman Xie Chiyang's luck to save his beloved disciple.

He felt guilty about it.

The mortal Xie Chiyang had been terribly unlucky ever since she was a child.

She choked on water, attracted ghosts when she burned incense, and was always the first to suffer whenever something bad happened. Even a wildflower she casually picked by the roadside could turn into a monster and nearly kill her.

At the moment of her death, a flash of cold light appeared in the darkness. A young man shoved her aside and cut the monster in half with a single sword strike. He stood tall and straight as a pine, full of youthful confidence. His exceptionally handsome face made her fall in love on the spot.

Determined to follow in the footsteps of her savior, she resolutely embarked on the path of cultivation.

Despite her mediocre talent and the contempt she endured, she was personally chosen to become a disciple of the revered Immortal Lord Shen Muqing.

And a fellow disciple of that young man.

Thus began a scandalous romance that would be talked about throughout the cultivation world for years to come...

There are multiple male leads. Besides the master and disciple above, there's also a hidden male lead. Place your bets!

Reader's Guide:

1. The female lead is a secret everyone-loves-her type [highlighted]. She has only diehard fans and twisted diehard fans. Everyone will go from looking down on her at first to eagerly joining the crowd in the end.

2. The female lead is a country bumpkin through and through: simple, kind, warm, cheerful, and sunny, with a massive capacity for taking things in stride. She's 175 cm tall, with healthy, wheat-colored skin and a strong, sturdy build. She could yank a willow tree out of the ground by its roots.

3. Multiple male leads, with the author's usual signature mix of angst and thrills. Male rivalry and love triangles will be front and center. I'm already a female-lead fan, so cut me some slack.jpg

4. The female lead and all the men are pure in both body and mind. Let's all do our part to reject secondhand goods!

5. I'll add more later if anything else comes to mind (heart).
