Strong Love Interests
The Salted Fish She Flirts With the Demon Emperor
[Silly Female Lead X Psychotic Male Lead, a fantasy comedy ride-welcome aboard!]
The Regent King of Dali is twisted in temperament, and also suffers from a serious illness.
Ye Piaoling receives a mission from the Silly System: collect the Regent King’s Four-piece Set, which are the four personal items of the Regent King!
A mask, a belt, and…
Ye Piaoling: “Such a dangerous mission-what reward do I get if I complete it?”
Silly System: “You can ascend to heaven on the spot!”
Ye Piaoling is delighted by this, and from then on, she pays little attention to the mission, making money with her left hand and cultivating with her right.
Whenever she meets the Regent King, she still casually reaches out: “Your Highness, if you lose this belt, will your pants fall down?”
Di Xiulan: “No. But your head will.”
So Ye Piaoling promptly pulls her hand back. Yet another day of not wanting to do the mission.
To motivate its lazy host, the System starts handing out rewards like crazy-hand grenades, electric scooters, you name it…
Ye Piaoling is once again tempted, and uses cheesy pick-up lines to successfully collect the Four-piece Set and ascends to heaven!
After ascending, she trembles and says: “No, the speed here is way too fast-let me off!”
Note: This story is a tangy, refreshing fantasy, not your traditional strong female lead, and everyone is a goofball.
The Femme Fatale
I was abducted as a child, but because I had fair skin and a pretty face,
I was carefully trained into a temptress made to ensnare wealthy young masters.
That night, in the most extravagant luxury suite in Macau,
Zhao Rongzheng lay there, languid and sated, his gaze falling on me as I wept like a flower in the rain.
“Stop crying. I’ll pay off your brother’s debt for him. From now on, you stay with me.”
I took the money, coaxed him with sweet words, and then vanished without a trace.
Five years later, news that the Seventh Young Master of the Zhao Family was divorcing his wife to marry a widow shook all of Hong Kong.
Zhao Rongzheng, now the man in power over the Zhao Family, personally stepped forward to handle this sordid scandal.
Seated high above me, he looked down at my meek, submissive, pitifully vulnerable appearance.
“What is it? Does every man in the Zhao Family have to fall into your hands at least once?”
My Husband Is the Living Rulebook of the Ministry of Rites
The night I married Pei Guanli, I cried so hard I soaked half my bridal veil.
Not because I didn’t want to marry him, but because everyone in the capital knew that Pei Guanli was more upright and proper than the ancestral tablets in a shrine.
He oversaw ceremonial protocols at the Ministry of Rites and revised the dynasty’s statutes and rites.
If a family used the wrong ritual vessels at a wedding, he could remember it for three years.
If someone wailed one time too many at a funeral, he could submit a memorial impeaching them straight to the emperor.
As the daughter of a merchant family from Jiangnan, this was exactly the sort of man I feared most.
Before my mother sent me into the bridal sedan, she clutched my hands and cried even harder than I did.
“Ah Ning, once you reach the Pei Family, speak less, smile less, and eat less.”
I asked, “Why eat less?”
Choking back sobs, my mother said, “Noble young ladies in the capital eat as delicately as if they’re painting flowers. You eat three bowls in one sitting. You’ll give yourself away too easily.”
I paused, suddenly feeling that before this marriage had even reached the bridal chamber, I had already lost on appetite alone.
The Eldest Sister Acts as Mother
My younger sister eloped with a penniless scholar, and her cold-hearted fiancé broke down my door, demanding that I take her place.
I was so scared I clutched my waistband and begged for mercy.
“Brother-in-law, how can you blame this on me?”
The two cinnabar moles beneath his eyes were as red as blood, and his tone was utterly indifferent.
“An elder sister is like a mother. In other words, every grievance has its culprit, and every debt has its debtor.”
“So, are you coming with me on your own, or am I dragging you away?”
Th-thrilling. Was this the domineering forced-love plot they wrote about in storybooks?
The weak could not fight the strong, so I was just about to get out of bed when I realized my sister had run off wearing the only pair of padded winter pants in the house.
Left with no choice, I lay right back down.
“Forget it. It’s freezing out, so let’s not move.”
“If you’re going to seize me, then seize me. Hurry up, while the blankets are still warm…”
“…”
-A laid-back heroine who sleeps through the abduction x an action-oriented hero who carries on abducting while she sleeps.
The Little Liar
When my younger sister went to Songshan Temple to pray for blessings, she saved Prince Rui, who had been gravely wounded and fallen unconscious.
After Prince Rui woke, he left her a jade pendant as a token and promised that if she ever found herself in trouble, she could come to Prince Rui’s Mansion for help.
Two months later, I went to the mansion.
I said to Prince Rui: “Do you still remember what happened outside Songshan Temple?”
I claimed her deed as my own and successfully became his princess consort.
But in the second year after our marriage, my younger sister came to visit.
Right in front of Prince Rui, she took out that jade pendant.
On the Day My Core Was Extracted, the Sword Venerable Coughed Blood First
Before our wedding invitations could even be written, I was pinned down onto the Core-extraction Platform.
When the tip of Ning Changye’s sword pierced my chest, he suddenly coughed up blood before I did.
Only then did the entire sect see his Life Thread wrapped around my wrist.
But what they didn’t know was that if I failed to survive the next seven days, the Demon Abyss would tear open-and the person who truly deserved to die was still standing on the high platform, watching me with a smile.
