The Coveted Cannon-Fodder Beauty [Quick Transmigration]

Blurb:

Luo Shu lives up to her name, with dazzling beauty and a face like a flower.

After dying suddenly by accident, she is sent by the quick transmigration System to a series of small worlds. She can only earn a chance to be reborn by completing her missions.

Unwilling to die young, Luo Shu throws herself into her work. But because she is so strikingly beautiful, she always manages to accidentally derail the plots of worlds that were supposed to run smoothly.

After she disrupts the plots of several worlds, the System breaks down and begs her to stop doing missions.

Luo Shu: o.O?

[World One: The Widowed Sister-in-Law]

She is vain and materialistic, a pretty face with nothing in her head, a complete airhead.

To marry into a wealthy family and enjoy a life of luxury, she lies about having been secretly in love for years with a rich young heiress, then enters into a ghost marriage with the heiress, who has been dead for a long time. The young, cold younger sister-in-law despises people like her, who are so vain.

Late one night, while Luo Shu is fast asleep, the young woman opens the door to the bridal suite and leaves unapologetic finger marks on her slender waist.

When she is caught, the woman, usually so rational and aloof, looks at her with inscrutable eyes. Her scorching fingertips clasp Luo Shu's slender ankle as she smiles and demands:

"My sister and I look so much alike. Why can't you treat me as if I were her?"

Luo Shu, focused on her mission and unwilling to provoke a madwoman, wants to run.

In the black-and-white portrait at the foot of the bed, a ravishing evil spirit appears. Her gaze, brimming with murderous intent, is chilling as she says in a sinister voice:

"Don't... touch... her..."

"She's... mine..."

[World Two: The Odorless, Low-Grade Beta Is the Most Popular Girl at the Aristocratic Academy]

She is a nondescript, bland, and overlooked low-grade beta, the sidekick of F1, the academy's most popular girl.

[Your beauty is a secret everyone knows.]

[They all want you for themselves. It turns out you're not invisible at all, but a beloved girl hidden away beneath countless secret desires.]

[But the problem is, you're a beta who can't be marked.]

Later, Luo Shu's real appearance is exposed, and she is hounded by admirers. She flees from place to place in a panic, until finally she goes to the one person who can help her, F1, who is the only one who dislikes her.

F1 looks at her with something close to pity, then smiles and agrees:

"All right."

The beta Luo Shu, unable to smell pheromones, is so moved she could cry. She never notices that ever since the day she enrolled, she has been covered in F1's fervent, desperate, yearning alpha pheromones.

[World Three: "Mom"]

Her mission is to care for the research institute's most mysterious experimental subject, a powerful, beautiful, and extremely dangerous creature.

To everyone's astonishment, the brutal subject behaves like a well-behaved child in front of Luo Shu. To complete her mission, the audacious Luo Shu tells an enormous lie to the amnesiac subject, claiming to be its mother. Night after night, she sings it lullabies to help it fall asleep.

Later, her identity is exposed, and Luo Shu is forced to use a different method to lull it to sleep.

Countless long-coveting tentacles wrap around Luo Shu, spreading her arms and legs apart and invading every inch of her skin.

The experimental subject lies on the warm bed built from her embrace, kissing her trembling belly with obsessive devotion. Its tentacles quiver with excitement. Knowing full well that her identity is a lie, it asks deliberately:

"Mom, can I go inside the place where you carried me?"

Luo Shu closes her eyes in despair. Her mouth is stuffed full of tentacles, and she cannot even cry out for help.

[World Four: The White Bamboo Grove]

She is frail from birth and destined to die young. Her family brings home a white jade statue of Guanyin to extend her life.

As an adult, Luo Shu leaves her hometown. On the night of her twenty-fifth birthday, she dreams of a white bamboo grove.

A woman with skin as pale as ice and bones as delicate as jade stands amid the mist, dressed in white, as if Guanyin herself had appeared. A vermilion mole between her brows is red as blood.

Luo Shu's eyes are covered with white gauze. She makes love to the woman, whose face she cannot see, until her voice is hoarse and all she can manage are whimpers.

A month later, unable to bear it any longer, Luo Shu follows the clues back to her hometown in search of the truth.

In the middle of a dilapidated old house, she sees a statue of Guanyin wrapped in cobwebs. Its eyes are wide open, its face holds a strange smile, and its eerie gaze points greedily at her.

Luo Shu feels as if she has fallen into an icy abyss. This is no Guanyin at all. The one who saved her back then was clearly an evil god.

A deal with an evil god comes at a price.

She can't escape.

Transmigrating into a Book as a Scummy Alpha, the Female Lead Omega Is Overflowing with Tea-Like Charm

Blurb:

Jing Lian transmigrates into a book as a scummy alpha in a danmei novel.

In the original story, she has a beloved white moonlight she can never have. After becoming psychologically twisted, she targets the female lead, an illegitimate child who looks seven-tenths like her white moonlight. She cuts off the girl's shining career, cheats on her, imprisons her, and gives her the cold shoulder... tormenting her for three whole years.

In the end, the female lead endures the humiliation and joins forces with several of her pursuers to send Jing Lian to prison. Her alpha gland is forcibly cut out, and she dies in agony, eyes still open.

Jing Lian: ...

Someone, please save her.

Unfortunately, she arrives at a bad point in the story. The original Jing Lian has already used her influence and resources to coerce the female lead into agreeing to visit her room in the middle of the night, under the pretext of "studying."

Looking at the little white-flower female lead standing at her door, bundled up in layer upon layer despite it being only early autumn, her eyes full of wariness and disgust, Jing Lian makes an abrupt stop with the contract for her to be kept in her hand. She pulls a children's book from the drawer and sneers, "I'm going to test your acting skills properly today. Read this aloud!"

Tao Nian, who got full marks in her acting class: ???

After that, Jing Lian seems like a completely different person:

When the female lead is halfway through filming a new drama and the investors suddenly pull out, Jing Lian throws seventy million into the project without a second thought.

When they both appear on a dating reality show and haters mock the female lead as a shameless, clinging white lotus, Jing Lian sets her legal team in motion overnight.

When the female lead gets her first intimate scene in a script and has no idea how to handle it, Jing Lian grits her teeth and gives it her all, sacrificing herself to rehearse the scene with her.

A year later, Jing Lian has successfully changed the ending, and the female lead has achieved her dream of becoming a Best Actress.

Jing Lian: The deed is done. I'll slip away and leave no trace of my accomplishments.

Who could have guessed that when she woke up, someone had suddenly locked her bedroom door?

Tao Nian, who was always red-eyed like a rabbit, walks up behind her, smiling. She is as bewitching as a red spider lily blooming in the land of the dead. She turns her back to Jing Lian, revealing the snow-white nape of her neck...

And an omega gland wafting the scent of green bamboo.

The omega takes Jing Lian's hand and presses it against her own feverish, flushed gland. Her red lips brush Jing Lian's neck, her voice thick with desire, almost a whisper:

"Didn't you always want me, Sister?"

"How could you bear to leave, Sister?"

.

[She wants Jing Lian to love her, whether inside the book or outside it.]
