My Cold-Faced Nemesis Does the Laundry and Cooking [GB]

The entire novel costs just one cup of honey lemon tea to subscribe to. Please support the official version (heart). Please, don't read pirated copies.

[Strong male lead, even stronger female lead, ensemble cast to a degree. My take on cultivation, with plenty of original worldbuilding. Equal parts romance and plot.]

In her previous life, Jiang Ningqing started out as a beggar, became a Sword Master after a hundred years, spent half her life indulging in wine and women, and finally died sealing away an evil spirit.

Fortunately, she was very attached to life. Before dying, she set up an array for herself, and three hundred years later she returned to life in another body.

But why... did her mortal enemy find her on the second day after she was reborn?

And why was her enemy dressed all in white like he was in mourning, with a waist so thin it seemed impossible, a deathly pale face, and blood coughing up every so often? She was starting to wonder which one of them had actually died.

Jiang Ningqing had only just been reborn and was still weak, so it was obvious she couldn't beat her enemy. He locked her up.

She'd already prepared herself for his cruel revenge. After all, in her previous life, she'd ripped out his immortal bones while he was still alive. It was a blood feud.

But her enemy cooked for her with his own hands, made her clothes from his tail fur, and even booked the best restaurant in town just for her. They spent every day listening to music by the railing and drinking without restraint. He just never smiled at her again.

Jiang Ningqing used the time to recuperate, and at last found a chance to leave.

But on the very day she planned to escape, her enemy confessed his love to her with desperate, bloodshot eyes, as if ready to die for her.

Jiang Ningqing: ...

No more talk. Three, two, one: a knockout and a bundle of restraints, delivered to you.

Qu Kanc Chen had been abused all his life for being a half-demon. When he was on the verge of death, Jiang Ningqing, dressed in patched rough cloth, gave him half a steamed bun and smiled as she told him to follow her from then on.

So he traveled across mountains and rivers with her and joined the same sect. They grew up together, childhood sweethearts without a care in the world, and fought side by side as comrades who had faced death together.

He thought they would go on like that forever.

Until Jiang Ningqing discovered he was half-demon. Without hesitation, she ripped out his immortal bones while he was still alive, crippled all his cultivation, and threw him out when he was barely alive.

He hated her so much, hated her, hated her, hated her, hated her, hated her, hated her, hated her, hated her, hated her, hated her...

Grinding his teeth, Qu Kanc Chen used that hatred to cultivate the demon path again, and eventually became the Demon King. But before he could take revenge on Jiang Ningqing, news came that she had died.

He completely fell apart. Gravely injured, he seized her corpse and spent a full three hundred years searching everywhere for a way to revive her, to no avail.

He thought there was nowhere for all the love and hatred in his life to go. Then, in his despair, the locator toy she had given him when they were young suddenly reacted, pointing toward Puppet Village.

He saw Jiang Ningqing again, only to hear that she planned to use herself as bait and throw herself into danger once more. He couldn't bear to lose her again.

He locked Jiang Ningqing up.

He was also afraid she'd hate him, so he tried desperately to please her, agreeing to every request she made.

How ridiculous. She had hated him for so long, had despised and hurt him so long ago. He hated her. He should hate her...

But he had hopelessly fallen in love with her.

A carefree, reckless female lead x a cold-faced, underwear-washing, lovesick male lead

Key points:

1. A melodramatic romance full of deep love and hatred. Equal parts plot and romance, with a bit of an ensemble cast.

2. The leads have misunderstandings, but they actually love each other very much.

3. The female lead becomes the strongest later on. She was always stronger than the male lead in her previous life. In this life, she starts out weak and becomes strong later.

4. After the first dungeon, the female lead will return to her own body. Her initial body has no resemblance to her, and she simply returned to life in another body.

5. The imprisonment mentioned in the blurb happens midway through the story. The female lead won't be mistreated.

6. The female lead has no cheat items and a normal body. She uses all kinds of tools and has sensory sharing.

Here's a preview of my next story: "After I Humiliated the Immortal Venerable, He Insisted on Saving Me [Gender Bender]"

Li Ying was born a demon seed and became the Demon Lord at a young age. She killed, burned, and did every sort of evil.

She had no sense of morality. She only knew she should treat herself well. So she lived in the most luxurious palace, drank the finest wine, and slept with the most beautiful people...

The beauties weren't willing, but Li Ying didn't care. As long as she was happy, that was enough.

Besides, the beautiful Immortal Venerable's flushed eyes and trembling body as he looked at her in humiliation and restraint were just so damn sexy. She could die.

Unfortunately, good and evil are repaid in the end. Li Ying had done too many bad things, and was struck dead while undergoing tribulation.

Luckily, the heavens were blind, and Li Ying was reborn, back to the time when she was five and fighting with wild dogs over food.

She smiled wickedly. This time, she was going to take back...

Wait, the beautiful person in front of her looked familiar. Wasn't this the beautiful Immortal Venerable she'd forced herself on?

Hey, he shouldn't be here! Why was he pointing a sword at her?

This was bad. Had he been reborn too?

Li Ying silently mourned the future Demon Lord's aborted ambitions.

She closed her eyes and waited for the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, but the beautiful Immortal Venerable still hadn't killed her.

By the time she was nearly asleep, he picked her up and said softly in her ear, "It's all right. None of it has happened yet. I'll teach you properly."

Li Ying: ?

And so Li Ying began a painful life of swinging a sword eight hundred times every day. Gritting her teeth, she vowed to get revenge once she was strong enough.

On the day she came of age, she finally seized her chance, violently planting the beautiful Immortal Venerable. Then she betrayed her sect and became the Demon Lord once more.

She thought the beautiful Immortal Venerable must regret it terribly and want to tear her to pieces.

But the next time she saw him, he stood in front of her, facing the immortal sects who were about to attack her, and said, despite knowing his limits, "I failed to teach her properly. I am willing to take her punishment in her place."

Li Ying was moved. That very night, she dragged him into her room and violently planted him again.
