Completed The Supporting Character Devotes Herself Not to Trouble the Main Protagonist
元余
Wen Yue Sheng transmigrated into the role of a universally despised female antagonist in a novel. Born into a noble family, yet uneducated, shallow, and foolish. Her biological father despises her, her fiancé loathes her, and even her maternal uncle, the emperor, criticizes her for being vicious and rude. Because she spent all her energy opposing the beloved female protagonist, she became hated by everyone. In the end, she was abandoned by all, shot by the male lead with an arrow, and left dead on the desolate wilderness. When Wen Yue Sheng transmigrated into the body of the original character, the original had already gained a notorious reputation, with everyone wanting her gone. Wen Yue Sheng remained calm about this. On the first day after her transmigration, she placed a golden Buddha statue into the mansion. Everyone thought that she had finally realized her faults and was ready to live a simple life, eating vegetarian food and praying to atone for her past mistakes. What they didn’t know was that Wen Yue Sheng came from the apocalypse. Before becoming Wen Yue Sheng, she was known only by a codename—‘Killer God No. 7.’ She was a powerful weapon in the post-apocalyptic world, and believing in Buddhism was simply a way to suppress her mu*derous instincts. There were 9,999 test subjects in the apocalypse, and by the time the zombies were eradicated, only No. 7 remained. Thus, she was given the name Killer God No. 7.
Completed Lost You Forever
tong hua, 桐华
Life is a series of meetings and partings, of forgetting and starting anew. Yet, there are always moments that, once they occur, leave indelible marks; there are always people who, once they appear, become unforgettable. The fated meeting at the town of Qing Shui has changed the destinies of everyone involved—perhaps even the fate of the entire Great Wilderness. All for the sake of a fleeting warmth, a touch of companionship, a devotion so deep it did not care when it might dissolve. Longing is like a poisoned goblet of fine wine—sweet as it slides down your throat, intoxicating and all-consuming. Once it reaches your heart and soul, there is no cure. When the poison strikes, it tears the heart apart; only the smile of the beloved can soothe it, only companionship can alleviate it. If that is unattainable, what remains is a deep, unending longing, enduring until death. If everything is destined, then when Xiao Yao and Tu Shan Jing meet, their eventual parting is inevitable. They are fated to love, yet unable to embrace it fully—and equally unable to forget. Though they cannot hold on to one another, they can at least make themselves unforgettable, burying everything deep within their hearts. That gentle imprint will remain indelible, etched forever in their souls.
