The Legendary Third Prince

A preview of my upcoming novel, [Ne Zha: Falling in Love with the God of Slaughter]

[Dragon God Reincarnated as a Miao Girl × Blunt, Sweet-on-the-Outside, Dark-on-the-Inside Lotus Ne Zha]

As the reincarnation of an ancient true dragon, Ao Rui's story begins with the water-control artifact falling from the sky: the Water-Repelling Sword. A flash of cold light, a stab of pain, and Ao Rui falls to the ground. When she opens her eyes again, she has arrived in a strange world!

At that moment, the rules of this strange world, the "System," speak in a cold electronic voice: [Congratulations, Host. Welcome to the Myriad Worlds.]

Current instance: "The Investiture of the Gods War!"

The System urges Ao Rui to accept the main quest. While carrying it out, she encounters the legendary God of Slaughter, who "kills but never saves." She thinks he lives only to kill, never realizing that he has a tender side reserved just for her.

Later, Ao Rui curiously asks the handsome young man, his face flushed: "Ne Zha, why are you treating me this way?"

Ne Zha looks at the red glow coming from her waist and smiles teasingly. "Maybe you put a love spell on me!"

Ao Rui is utterly confused by Ne Zha's words. She also remembers her identity in the real world: she is Miao, after all.

But can a love spell really cross between reality and a virtual world?

Ao Rui is still puzzling over it when Ne Zha begins moving closer and closer.

When Ao Rui comes to her senses, Ne Zha is already close to her chest. Their eyes meet.

Ne Zha swallows and says weakly, "Help me!"

"I've been..."

Novel description:

[Original title: After the Succubus Became Ne Zha's Evil Thought]

[Reincarnated spirit of an evil thought, college girl × Gentle, attentive Chosen One]

Li Ziyuan is in a car accident and crashes off a bridge. When she opens her eyes, she is in the Shang Dynasty, but her luck isn't much better.

Not only is she an unwelcome visitor, the people of Chentang Pass are also shouting for her to be killed. Fortunately, Ne Zha's master arrives in time to save her and take her back to Golden Light Cave of Mount Qianyuan. Li Ziyuan asks, "What year is it? Why did you save me?"

The Grand Priest replies, "It is the first year of King Wu's campaign against Zhou. I saved you because we are destined to meet."

Li Ziyuan is puzzled. "Destined?"

The Grand Priest continues, "Young lady, look at the lotuses by the pond."

Following the Grand Priest's words, Li Ziyuan walks step by step toward the lotus pond. Her gaze is fixed on the colorful lotus in the water and the lotus hair tie on her head.

"Is that really why you saved me?" Li Ziyuan asks thoughtfully.

Taiyi Zhenren continues, "The lotus beside you is a Seven-Colored Lotus. I used it to house Ne Zha's primordial spirit."

"So I'm... him?"

Taiyi Zhenren: "!"

"You are the key to his awakening. I need your... primordial spirit." A faint look of guilt appears on Taiyi Zhenren's face.

"It might hurt a little!"

"Are you afraid, young lady?"

[Little Extra]

During the Investiture of the Gods War, just outside Xiqi City, Ne Zha has just defeated the Shang army. Before he can return to the city, the murderous nature within him begins to spiral out of control.

With no other choice, Jiang Ziya returns to camp and discovers something is wrong with Ne Zha. He enters Ne Zha's inner world and finds a soul fragment running wild. Jiang Ziya chants a spell, and the Immortal Binding Rope binds her tightly. Unconscious, Li Ziyuan tries to break free, but no matter how long she struggles, she can't escape.

After Ne Zha's uncle-master leaves Ne Zha's inner sea of consciousness, the immortal energy of the Immortal Binding Rope gradually restores Li Ziyuan's awareness. Once conscious, the girl coquettishly says to Ne Zha, "This rope's squeezing me like shapewear. It's so uncomfortable and constricting. Big brother, can you untie it for me?"

"Please?"

After hearing her plea, Ne Zha looks at her helplessly, as if she were a piece of candied fruit. "I'll think about it..."

After thinking it over, he raises both hands and holds her tightly in his arms. Ne Zha's lips are sometimes cold, sometimes tender, as he kisses her forehead and says, "I'm sorry."

She tries to push Ne Zha away and pleads again:

"Third Prince, Third Young Master, can't you really untie the Immortal Binding Rope?"

Ne Zha replies in a tone that is both serious and gentle:

"This Immortal Binding Rope..."

"Unless you and I... otherwise, this rope will..." As soon as Ne Zha finishes speaking, his face turns an unusual shade of red.

[Reader Advisory]

● The female lead is an original character. Her career comes first, romance second.

● The story will probably cover the Investiture of the Gods, Journey to the West, and a modern-day storyline.

● The male lead's character and story draw on Investiture of the Gods and Journey to the West. They have no connection to the real-life figures. The male lead has both a youthful and an adult form. There are some differences, but the overall portrayal is a tribute.

● The protagonists begin as hostile enemies trying to kill each other and fight for control of one body, but eventually become lovers. Soul transmigration + System; proceed with caution if this is not your thing.

● There was a problem with the reward for this novel's illustration event. I asked my editor to suspend it at short notice today, and it's being adjusted now. Keep an eye on the author's notes, everyone. Thanks for your support.
