Why Is My Ex-Wife's Aunt Acting Like That Toward Me?

My next novel: After Turning My Cool, Distant Boss into a Romance Game NPC, She Really Wants Me. Scroll down for the blurb~

Reborn at twenty-two, Yuan Yi has spent countless nights dreaming of the moment she accidentally caught Peng Cheng taking off her cold prosthetic leg.

This time, she decides she won't get close to the hypocritical He Xun again. She won't let her family use her and drain her dry, and she won't give up her career for some ridiculous romance.

She definitely won't frame Peng Cheng, the woman who would later become a fearsome billionaire.

She only wants to save Peng Cheng's leg so she can live with a clear conscience.

The fireworks festival began in her past life when she was already He Xun's wife. Peng Cheng, He Xun's aunt, offered her a quiet congratulations.

The fireworks were loud. Yuan Yi couldn't make out what else Peng Cheng said.

In this life, Yuan Yi quietly steps up beside the tall woman, and the crowd jostles her right into Peng Cheng's arms.

She also hears Peng Cheng's pleading words, her possessiveness barely restrained: “Yuan Yi, would you be with me?”

All the fireworks go silent, and from that moment on, they bloom only in Yuan Yi's heart.

That year,

Peng Cheng told Yuan Yi that her name meant “may everything go as you wish.”

Later, Yuan Yi pressed herself to Peng Cheng's chest and said, “I only need this one thing to go my way.”

Mischievous sweet girl vs. devoted mature woman

1. Four-year age gap. Peng Cheng's leg will heal in this life.

2. Yuan Yi's personality will change after she is reborn: she'll become a self-serving “villainess.” Director Cheng goes from curious and exasperated about his future wife, to indulging her and cleaning up her messes, and then... getting involved himself.

3. The blurb doesn't give too much away; everything is in the story. The writing style may be different from what you're used to. If you don't like it after a chapter, feel free to stop reading. Thank you, and enjoy!

Qin Shuhe is a genius game developer in the industry, with a dazzling, dangerously beautiful face. The industry considers her a woman whose talent and ability are beyond anyone's reach.

On her first day back in the country, starting at a top game company, Qin Shuhe opens the conference room door and sees the new boss everyone says is impossible to deal with.

Her cool gaze sweeps over Qin Shuhe as if appraising her. The metal clasp is fastened neatly to the very top. Her tone is distant: “Long time no see, Director Qin.”

No one knows they used to date.

Qin Shuhe hates the rationality in Zhu Jun so much that she never once begged for mercy, not even in Zhu Jun's hands.

That night, Qin Shuhe starts up a full-dive simulator, loads Zhu Jun's data, and changes the settings to include [Affectionate], [Obedient to every whim], and [Always does as she's told].

So...

In a school setting, Qin Shuhe corners top student Zhu Jun and makes her write a love letter with tears in her eyes.

In a cyberpunk world, Qin Shuhe is a prison warden. She lifts the chin of dangerous inmate Zhu Jun. “Have you learned how to please me?”

She recklessly toys with Zhu Jun's data in the game.

Until one day at the morning meeting, Qin Shuhe casually notices a bite mark that hasn't yet faded on Zhu Jun's collarbone, exposed above her collar.

Wasn't that the mark she bit into her in the game last night?!

*

When Qin Shuhe realizes that the NPC she's nearly played to pieces might actually be a real person, she hauls her full-dive pod onto her back and prepares to run.

But Zhu Jun corners her right outside her home.

Her long, slender fingers slowly undo her buttons. The woman who's always been so cool and distant advances step by step. “Director Qin, there are plenty more new scenarios that need testing.”

“This time, how about I play the prison warden?”
