-- Blurb --

Only after she died did Zhou Yulin learn that she was in a restricted xianxia novel.

As a cannon-fodder supporting female character, her job was to charge into battle for Chen Muyiao, the young master of the Nine Stars Pavilion, and guard his faithful love.

And Chen Muyiao was none other than her sworn enemy in her previous life.

*

In the third year after Zhou Yulin's death, the righteous path's leading senior brother abandoned the Dao and fell to demonic cultivation, the second senior brother, who did nothing but loaf around, vanished unexpectedly, and the third senior brother, who had never amounted to much, finally formed his golden core. Her master also took on a new, well-behaved young disciple.

As for the sworn enemy she'd fought with for half her life...

He lived up to expectations and forgot all about her, leaving her in some obscure corner.

Whenever Zhou Yulin came up, all he said was, with an impatient look, "Who is that?"

*

Nobody could have imagined that the person who once fought his way to the top of the Five Spirits Terrace rankings with nothing but a broken sword would later be bundled up in thick clothes, crouching beneath a spiritual tree and rubbing his hands as he waited for its fruit to fall.

The young man watching from the rooftop couldn't help but scoff.

Zhou Yulin looked up from beneath the tree, puzzled.

Those strikingly beautiful features were instantly familiar.

Xiaobie Mountain. Chen Muyiao, her sworn enemy in her previous life.

And in this life, the person who would be entangled with her until death parted them.

*

Beneath the bright lanterns, Zhou Yulin glanced at her sworn enemy, who was suffering terribly from the love enchantment. Looking at the young man's handsome face, damp with sweat, she said coldly, "Beg me, and I'll reluctantly help you."

"The enchantment affects both people."

At that, the confident woman froze.

The young man swept his dark, unfathomable gaze over her frozen expression, lowering his eyes to hide his desire. He gave a soft laugh, sounding both mocking and expectant. "Hush. You'll like the feeling of loving someone you can't have."

Zhou Yulin: Get lost, you lunatic!

[About my sworn enemy forgetting me after losing his memory, while his primordial spirit still remembers loving me.]

[The romance and plot are split sixty-forty, with most of the story unfolding in everyday life.]

[An ensemble-cast story, written to feed my own cravings.]

Next upcoming novel: Transmigrating into a Campus Novel with My Crush

-- Upcoming Novel Blurb --

After successfully getting into the same university as her crush, Zhuang Mei unexpectedly transmigrated into an old-school campus novel.

She wasn't the female lead, whose life was full of hardship and who was determined to fight her way forward. Instead, she was the supporting female character written as her foil.

And her destined partner was the school's underachieving bully, who was good for nothing and cursed like a sailor.

Looking at this man, who had nothing going for him but his face and would even live off his parents in the future, Zhuang Mei patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him. "It's fine. If you study hard, you can bask in a little of my light someday."

No wonder people encourage you to study hard!

Seeing how this school bully seemed untouched by the influence of knowledge, Zhuang Mei guessed that he might secretly have a knack for studying.

After all, that's how it goes in novels: once a school bully applies himself, he can soar to the top and instantly become the best student in the school.

But the facts told Zhuang Mei she'd been overthinking it. Looking at Xiang Yun's scores, which were worse in all ten subjects than other people's scores in just one, she nearly choked on her own blood.

"How about we enter the workforce early and enjoy making money? I'll take the pain of studying for you!"

Zhuang Mei didn't notice how awkward Xiang Yun looked after she said that.

After scoring the highest marks in the province, Su Yun transmigrated into a book.

"Sweetie, as long as you work hard, vocational high school is within reach! If you get in, our ancestors' graves will be smoking with joy. But don't put too much pressure on yourself. It's okay if you don't make it."

Then her son asked, "What if I get into a top high school?"

"A top high school..." The woman belatedly glanced at her son with concern, then looked out the window at the sky. "How can you start daydreaming in broad daylight, before it's even dark?"

Su Yun thought he'd gotten a comeback story.

It wasn't until he'd worked himself to the bone and barely passed his exams that he realized this world was out to get him.

And there was also this woman who kept comforting him: "You should get a job, Xiang Yun. I won't look down on you for dropping out. You're different from everyone else."

"Oh? How am I different?"

"Other people change their fate by studying, but you waste money and ruin lives by studying."

Su Yun: I'm tired... Is this woman here to save me or crush my fragile heart?

Theme: A person should strive to be self-reliant
