Wyatt a young boy of 16, well built muscular body, nice hair which he changes its color steady you will never know the color of his, got dark brown eye contact, red lips, just call it a sexy looking guy lived with his rich granny who provided all he needed ever since his parents went to rest (die) which made him spoilt.

 Wyatt's grand mom Mrs cressida owns one of the richest schools in new York, Mrs cressida is a retired teacher.

 Mrs cressida made a decision of registering her grand son Wyatt in her school ROSEY GOLD HIGH, she never liked the fact that her grand son was far from her in a boarding school and she was damn tired of reports from the school authority about her grand son molesting girls.

 Alizeh is a young pretty average height girl of 15 with a shinny brown hair, brown eyes, pink lips, neatly curved hips and nice butt.

 Alizeh lives with her rich parents and lived comfortably but alizeh never showed off, you could only see richness in her crazy dress sense, her looks and the way she styles her hair.

 Alizeh attends Rosey gold high and she never had a friend if not lux her only friend who understands her mode, alizeh is a very calm girl but strict and mean.

 Alizeh having only one friend and talks to no one never stopped her from having an enemy.

 Cyrus the head of the red lipstick girls never stopped making alizeh's life miserable, because she thinks her eagle and pride will fade because of her, not until Wyatt as every girls prince charming came.

Rosie glared at Julie as she and Mattie walked around the stalls. Mattie was talking a mile a minute, showing Julie the horses, pointing things out. Julie was mostly quiet, nodding a lot. Every once in a while, she seemed to ask a question.
How unfair was it that Julie looked just as stunning in jeans and a plain old shirt as she did in expensive clothes and jewels? God, life sucked sometimes.
"So, what's she doing here?" she asked Jake.
He shrugged, his eyes stormy. "I dunno. Looking around her property, I suppose."
"Yeah. I guess. Heads up, she's coming."
Julie and Mattie were in the fenced area now, and Mattie was gesturing with her arms. Julie looked around and her eyes met Rosie's. Julie nodded, and did something with her face that might have been a smile. Rosie nodded back. Oh, God. She's coming over to me. Urgh.
"Mornin' Ms. Everett."
"Hi Rosie." She glanced up at Jake. "We haven't officially met. I'm Julie Everett."
"Jake Weston."
"You know, I got a list of all staff members from the lawyers in New York, and I didn't see your name. Are you new here?"
Jake leaned back against the fence. "No, ma'am. I've been here for seven years."
"Oh. It must have been some kind of oversight. Well, it isn't really important I mean, you're clearly here, so it's all fine."
"I'm glad to hear that."
Julie peered up at him. Wow, his eyes were cold as they stared down at her. What had she done to get this kind of reaction from him?
Mattie cleared her throat. "Julie's never ridden a horse before, guys. Maybe one of you can "
"Oh, Mattie. Mattie, no." Julie was horrified. The only thing worse than getting up on a goddamned stampeding beast is doing so with Pollyanna Cowgirl or Glaring Cowboy Jake here. No. Way.
"Why not, hon?"
"Yeah, why not?" Rosie asked.
"Well. Well, the thing is I don't really like horses." She finished in a low voice. "I'm very sorry. No offense taken, I hope."
"Why don't you like them?" Rosie asked.
"Umm. Well, I'm just not really an animal person."
"You've never had a pet?"
"No."
"Not even a goldfish?" Rosie asked.
"No."
"So, you've never taken care of anything in your life?" Jake said.
Julie blinked at him. "Sorry?"
"You've never cared for an animal?"
"No."
"So you have no idea what it's like to have something depend on you? Need you? You don't know what it's like to put something else's needs above your own?"
Julie froze up inside. Jake was getting awfully close to one of her most sensitive spots, to a nerve that was never, ever fully under the skin. If he said one more word, he might give it a direct hit, and she wouldn't be able to handle that. 
It's OK, Julie. He's just being an asshole. Blue. Blue.
Jake was startled to see a look of pain flash across Julie's face  what was that about? The pain was there, just for a fraction of a second, then it was gone. Her gorgeous face was stone again.
Julie tilted her head, giving him her death-stare, the one that could level people at three hundred feet. She said nothing.
"So, maybe no horseback riding today," Mattie said hastily. "Another time?"
"No," Julie said, her eyes trained on Jake's face. "Not another time. Not any time. I'll just need updates three times a week about how things are going over here in the stables. What you need, orders, budgets." She paused. "OK, Mattie?"
"Yes, fine." Mattie was flustered at the tension between Jake and Julie. "So, shall we go to the main building now? I can go over some of the documents to do with the stables, to give you some idea what kinds of things have come up in the past."
"Sounds good." Julie broke eye contact with Jake. "Let's go. Bye Rosie."
"Bye."
Rosie turned to Jake once Julie and Mattie had left the stables. "What the hell was that? I mean, she's a bitch, but she hardly asked for that from you, or from anyone. Personal attacks aren't you, Jake."
"Yeah. Yeah, you're right." Jake was pissed off at himself; pissed off that he'd let Julie get to him so badly. "That was a bit much."
"A bit?" 
"OK, OK. It was too much."
Rosie shook her head at him. "Listen, she's an unknown quantity. She doesn't give a good goddamn about you, and has no idea what you do around here, how important you are to us. You piss her off, she'll kick your butt to the curb without batting an eyelash, Jake. What's it to her? You want to go job-hunting early?"
"Shit." Jake sighed. "You're right. I'll be a bit nicer."
"A lot nicer."
"OK, OK. A lot nicer."

**

"Hey, Jules. How's it going?"
"Tammy. Thank God. A voice from civilization."
"That bad?"
"Actually, no. This place is gorgeous."
"Yeah?"
"Oh, yeah. It'll fetch a nice price when I sell it."
"OK, now to get the important stuff out of the way any hot men?"
Julie took a sip of her wine and thought about what to tell Tammy. "Well ummm."
"Oh. My. God." Tammy was quivering with excitement. "There is one. Isn't there?"
Julie rolled her eyes, and found herself smiling. "Well, yeah."
"Is he a cowboy? Please tell me he's a cowboy."
"He works with the horses, if that's what you mean."
"Does he wear jeans? Does he look hot in them when he's walking away?"
"Uh. Yes."
"So he's a cowboy. What's his name?"
"Jake."
"Yeah. Good start. Now, does Jake have a last name?"
"He does."
"Let me guess is it Starr? Talon? Steel?"
"Nope. It's Ryder. With a y'."
Tammy was struck with delight. "Please tell me you're not joking. Please tell me that you actually do employ a sexy cowboy named Jake Ryder."
Julie let her writhe in anticipation and suspense for a few seconds. "Nope. Sorry."
"Aw."
"But he is named Jake Weston." She drank some more wine. "Is that sexy cowboy enough?"
"It totally is!" Tammy was re-energized. "You are serious, right?"
"I am now."
"Jake Weston?"
"Yep."
"Oh. My. God. And he is hot, right?"
"Oh, yeah. But he's an asshole."
"Hot cowboys are always assholes," Tammy explained. 
"They are?"
"Yep. They're all tough and hard and morose and damaged, but underneath, they have sweet and sensitive souls."
"Where do you get this shit?"
"Romance novels."
"Well, stop reading them. They're rotting your brain."
"Pshaw."
"Pshaw?"
"Tell me more about Jake."
"Seriously, Tammy. The guy is a dickhead." She told Tammy about the staff meeting, and about what Jake had said to her in the corral, and about all the crossing of arms and glaring and glowering.
By the time she'd finished, Tammy had decided that Jake Weston was "the lone sexy cowboy who was not a sweet and sensitive soul under all the asshole. This one's just an asshole. Sorry, Jules."
"I told you."
"Yeah, yeah, OK. I believe you now. So  maybe just have wild sex with him and make sure he doesn't talk to you? You can bind his hands with a lasso and cover his mouth with a cowboy bandana! I mean, what the hell else are you going to do this weekend, stuck in the middle of nowhere?"
Julie laughed. God, she missed Tammy.

Romance is a very popular genre in Webnovels. The first thing that come to mind when we talk about romance are the CEO novels. Even though we don't want to admit it, they are the mainstream romance stories in the Webnovel website. 

So why do people love romance stories? I hope you find the answer while reading this chapter.

----------------------------------

FattyBai: No worries, was just a bit curious. It's always amazing seeing how the Romance genre basically dominates the site.

Parasection: and CEO stories.

FattyBai: So I was sort of curious what the demographics on the reader's sex were. But yeah, it's a fair assumption to say that the ladies rule the site, lol

WWFire: Readers gender stats r ambiguous, it is manipulatable after all.

FattyBai: Unless there's this hidden group of guys who have been starving for CEO romance novels (which would actually be funny).

Parasection: But the sacred texts.

WWFire: All I see are genderless alien. *derp emoticon*

reinesse ♥: kek.

FattyBai: How do we pull in the female readers in if we can't write a romance story? *cry emoticon*

Parasection: No choice but to write yaoi then.

WWFire: We who read these kind of fantasy novels don't live our lives correctly pal.

CailinMatthews: *ghost hug emoticon*

Parasection: Give in to the demons.

WWFire: That's why we escape reality sometimes. 

FattyBai: It's like being offered a big cake and unable to take a slice.

Zehell2218: I think male reader have their own chance and market.

FattyBai: For sure, but it'd be nice to tap into both sides.

Zehell2218: @FattyBai I think I'll make fantasy romance so I can attract both.

FattyBai: I mean, it's not a bad idea, but how do you split it up? 50% romance/50% dragon ball z?


Parasection: The fuq that sounds like an abomination.

FattyBai: It does.

Zehell2218: @FattyBai No it's 80% romance 20% action. *joy emoticon*

Noveljunky: Besides Romance, what else do females like to read?

Parasection: BL, yaoi, drama.

Zehell2218: Still BL is romance.

Anjeeriku: horror lol.

reinesse ♥: @Noveljunky xianxia I think.

Noveljunky: Mmm.

Zenith: Well, need too write romance...kek

Zehell2218: Do female reader like to read apocalypse novel? Quick question since I will make fantasy romance in apocalypse.

[A/N: Sis, did you forget that you're a girl too?]

Totally Not Nano: nah oof.

FattyBai: @Zehell2218 Aww, man. But then you have to develop characters and write meaningful dialogue.

Zenith: I am probably gonna f*ck up my time trying to make a romance story.

FattyBai: We like blowing stuff up and fighting baddies.

Zehell2218: cmon it will be comedy. *laugh emoticon*

Parasection: The best thing in a novel is character development humor and action romance can be on the side.

Anjeeriku: Romance can be a great sub genre.

Parasection: how does one even write romance? I don't know where to begin with that genre.

FattyBai: I'm a simple guy, I see plot and I drown it in martial arts and manly stuff. Of course, I don't know what feelings are. Can you eat them to increase your cultivation base? *think smart emoticon*

Parasection: I've never experienced romance so i'd fail the moment i'd attempt a story like that.

Zehell2218: Actually, I like to write fighting scene but without romance my reader will kill me. So...yeah I tag it as romance! *joy emoticon*

Parasection: Fight scenes are fun to write.

FattyBai: I'm trying to break through into the "Immortal lonely sperg" phase~

Zehell2218: Very sloooooowww romance.

Anjeeriku: Please no abusive ML @Zehell2218 They're disgusting. idk why women like to read them.

Zehell2218: @Anjeeriku I don't know if girls who read xianxia will read apocalypse novel too.

reinesse ♥: I wanna write a novel like it's not easy to be a man after traveling to the future.

Zehell2218: @Anjeeriku No I won't make abusive ML. @reinesse ♥ same *joy emoticon*

Totally Not Nano: @Anjeeriku *cough* TBWWM *cough*

reinesse ♥: And an actual xianxia novel with reasonable characters.

Zehell2218: But without the romance it's bland.

reinesse ♥: Like characters, especially main character who knows how to adjust because extreme pride is not good.

FattyBai: @Zehell2218 Baby Dragon Truer words have not been spoken, and that scares me.

reinesse ♥: Some villains are really brainless. they can scheme, but they don't have a reasonable reason to do so

Zenith: Kek.

Zehell2218: @Zenith gramps I have idea for fantasy romance lemme tell you after I finish writing and see if it's interesting or not.

Zenith: Get the MC u desire! Yeah @Zehell2218 

FattyBai: I fear becoming a more wholesome and fleshed out human being. Please no development.

Zehell2218: @Zenith It's ok. Just want to see if people will find this good or not. *joy emoticon*

Totally Not Nano: I think there's a formula in getting famous as a writer.

[A/N: Oh? Such formula exist? Teach me Senpai!]

Totally Not Nano: Let's debate about it. *thinking emoticon*

Parasection: The formula is write romance and you're set.

Totally Not Nano: Any genre + xxxxxxx = top 1.

[A/N: Today… I lost faith in humanity.]

Noveljunky: If you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back.

Moonbirth: Write a lot. Write everyday. Post a lot everyday... write about what readers want to read about.

Anjeeriku: Write a lot. be a slave. Lol

Elyon knew that "Romance" is not his strong point. He writes a fantasy story with romance, but he can't tell if the romance will be able to attract female readers. Out of curiosity, he asked some of his fellow authors the question "Why do you read romance stories?"

Here are their answers…

Kyosei: Because I am single. 

Reili: To fill my empty void of a love life.

Minrei: Because romance let you feel what is to be loved, plus it is universal you dont need to learn magic or cultivation in order to read.

Bajj: Due to lack of romance irl.

Murakami: I read because I enjoy the friction and conflict between the FL and ML. The insistence vs resistance is naisu.

Qin: I reads romance only for ideas and info.

VlassisBehrakis: I don't read romance novels.

[A/N: Oof I asked the wrong person.]

Elyon then  ̶a̶m̶b̶u̶s̶h̶e̶d̶ asked some readers about their opinion about romance novels.

Yin: I read romance novels because I want that kind of drama to happen to me in real life. But I know it will never happen haha.

A Certain Irresistible Meowlin: I wonder why? And I do read romance novels. Though the chance of me dropping them is also the highest out of all the genres. Every so often I come across a scene that makes me just want to squeal and fangirl. 

----------------------------------

Elyon decided to dig deeper and asked a few of his senior "romance authors" some questions about their reason for writing romance stories.

The first question is… Why did you choose to write Romance Stories?

Anjeeriku: I'm comfortable writing romance stories compared to other genres. I'm a helpless romantic person and I like novels that can invoke other people's feelings.

Bajj: First of all, I like reading romance story. It was the reason why I read books before and reading other genres comes after. All in all, due to these romance fiction books, I got the opportunity to read more great books with different genre.

MishaK: That's what I read, so write that too.

Zehell2218: Because as reader, I want to read romance novel so when I write, I write romance since my motto is I write what I want to read.

Ikazainudin: The easiest genre. Everyone can relate.

End_of_Era: It wasn't a full on Romance, it was slice of life with romance which I feel was necessary with progression of the characters.

----------------------------------


The second question… When you were making your ML and FL, did you imagine yourself as the lead of your story at any given point in time?

Anjeeriku: I would be a liar if I said no. There were instances that I'd put myself in my FL's shoes. Whenever that happens, my writing feels more passionate and truthful that sometimes it was hard to know where my fl starts and where I end. 

Shen Yi, LMD's ML was based on a person I've lost, The One That Got Away so it was sometimes hard not to self-insert whenever there were scenes that need to invoke feelings from readers. 

Bajj: I believe that every character the author was making and breathing life into it, a part of him/her is added to its character. But me imagining of being the ML/FL, never. I'm too pure for that. Kek

MishaK: Yes I did but sometimes. Otherwise you can't infuse emotions in your characters. It is important to understand your characters.

Zehell2218: Yes, I imagine myself as the lead. Of course, I tweak it a bit, such as in age and appearance. But mostly, the characteristics is similar to me.

Ikazainudin: FL and ML character based on what I want to be irl. Yup. I imagine that will be my love story.

End_of_Era: Yes, my leads had some ocassional self insertion.

----------------------------------

The third question… If you were to choose some other genre aside from romance, what would you pick?

Anjeeriku: Fantasy. I always look up to those authors who can write fantasy stories/novels well. I believe writing a fantasy novel is harder than writing romance. 

[A/N: Ahem! 10 points to Griffindor!]

Bajj: Horror/thriller/Action. Read GGGB godamnit! [Good Girl Gone Bad]

MishaK: I am writing a Fantasy romance aside from regular vanilla romance *smile emoticon*

Zehell2218: Fantasy, magical realism, fan fiction.

Ikazainudin: Psychological/horror and maybe children story.

End_of_Era: The new genre I'm writing is fantasy/violent .

----------------------------------


The fourth and final question… If you were to give a message to your beloved readers, what would it be?

Anjeeriku: I'm sorry for not being inconsistent with updates. Y'all know I love you, but a little consideration and patience as I face this rough patch in my life would be very much appreciated.

Bajj: Vote me please :* mass release comes after, deal?

[A/N: Oof!]

MishaK: Be responsible in reviewing the book you are reading. Authors love to listen from their readers. So talk to them.

Zehell2218: Beloved reader, your author here is working hard to provide your daily dose so pliz pretty pliz, read my chapter using paid SS since I don't get even a penny for free SS. 

Tips: use free SS on translation novel. The translator still get money and use paid SS on original novel so we can get a bit money to continue living *wink*

Ikazainudin: I want readers to know, that love, hope and miracles exist. Be open and value each moment of your life like the MC's did.


----------------------------------

Author's Thoughts

Hello Guys! I hope you enjoyed this chapter of WWCG. Personally, I've read a few CEO novels myself. I also read some FL stories like A Slight Smile Is Devastating (Love O2O), Hidden Marriage, Doomed to be Cannon Fodder, Transmigrator meets Reincarnator, A Mistaken Marriage Match: A Generation of Military Counselor, There Is an Angel in That Church (short story), Eight Treasures Trousseau, Grabbing Your Hand, Dragging you Away, A Mistaken Marriage Match: Record of Washed Grievances…

Ai~ there's a few more that I won't add to the list because it will create a wall of text. Well anyways, the reason why I read these stories is to get an idea on "WHY" the ladies love to read them.

Let's just say that it's a unique way to see a world in the eye of a lady (if you are a man of course). When done properly, the execution of the story can capture the hearts of anyone, even male readers. I believe that no matter what gender you are, as long as you find the story interesting then it doesn't matter whether you are a guy or a gal no?

Perhaps, when I'm not too busy to write my stories, I'll once again pick a romance novel to read. Hopefully, I will find another hidden gem that will bring unexpected surprises to anyone who are lucky enough to find them.

P.S I would like to thank my fellow authors, especially my senior romance authors who answered some of my questions regarding romance novels. 

To my senior authors, May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind always be at your back. May the Power Stones shine warm upon your face, and Spirit Stones fall soft upon your fields. (￣▽￣)ノ

P.S The Cover Drawing is not mine. I just find it nice so I used it. Full credits go to the owner.

It's me again, Lemon Grenade. After creating the story Reincarnated into a Shingle Sea Urchin, I realized how fast I did things and how I didn't put much effort into the story. I've spent my time thoughtfully contemplating on how to improve myself this year before I came up with a new story.

I originally promised another story that involved aliens and game elements, but I got extremely lazy during that time and temporarily gave up. But I've been working on others in secret during my silence. This time I came up with one that's unique and something I'm willing to invest more time in compared to my first one which was a prototype.

This time I won't try to speed run things. I'll try to put effort into the storyline and plot. I'll try to personalize characters and put effort into them. Unlike the first time, I have a relatively good path that I plan on following. Yes, I said that for my first novel, but complications rose so I ended it prematurely.

But I won't start releasing chapters for a while. If I do, the pressure will bring up my habit of speed running things. Once I've completed a portion of it that I've deemed satisfactory, I'll start releasing chapters.

PLEASE READ (But please don't be offended with my passionate rant)
------------------
I have reasons as to why I chose the main character to be a female.
The first reason is because I feel more enthusiastic when the character I'm imagining is female.

The second reason is because I'm tired of almost all the female Wuxia/Xianxia novels that I manage to find and read. It's very hard (and rare) to find a legit cultivation novel with a female protagonist that cultivates seriously.
Almost all female cultivation novels have a main male character that goes after them. It results in a lot of romance and little cultivation. The same could be said to multiple male characters going after the single female protagonist. It just results in too much comedy and romance, with little cultivation time taken seriously.

Examples would be Genius Doctor: Black Belly Miss and The Demonic King Chases His Wife. Although I've read the first to 300 and the second to 500, which isn't the whole, I stopped because of the romance. Although yes, there was a period of time where they separated, but even then, cultivation wasn't really taken seriously. 
(Correct me if this changes past what I've read. I'm kinda judging, but what I've said is mostly true for what I've read so far. So you can't blame me)

The ones that I can really appreciate are Kumo Desu Ga, Nani Ka? and The Good-For-Nothing Seventh Young Lady.
The first one has almost no romance with the female character and is all about evolving to become stronger in order to survive. 
The second does have multiple males going after her, but she takes cultivation very seriously and puts in effort to cultivate. If not, she's usually doing important business stuff or figuring out problems. She's not even in love with any of the male throughout the entire story, only friendship. It's extremely slow romance as she slowly falls for a guy that only has a soul, but has a personality that I like very much.

You can find plenty of male cultivation novels, and a lot of them are famous. Almost all of them seriously focus on cultivation; pursuing the Dao with not a lot of romance. Even the ones with female leads still do cultivation seriously even if the male protagonist falls in love.

But NO! When it's a female, the cold and dark world of cultivation suddenly becomes all happy and vibrant! It's all about the male guy! Yes, I have seen darkness and coldness in female cultivation novels like the ones above, but definitely not as much as one with a male MC. It's like the whole world has to be nicer just because the MC is a girl!

For male MC's, most of them struggle to the top. They have to work their way to advance by slaughtering enemies and using them as stepping stones in pursuit of the great Dao. They always severely injure themselves while approaching the brink of death just to survive. There's always gore, evil, and darkness that the MC has to traverse through while maintaining their sanity.

But NO! It's different for a female MC! They do struggle, but definitely not as much. Enemies are slaughtered and used as stepping stones, but I've never seen a female have a Dao they want to pursue. Yes they injure themselves, but definitely not as bloody and gory. Life or death situations are way less compared to the latter. Things are seemingly brighter with a female MC.

The best part of it all is that they're buffed with their seemingly harsh past life. Almost all female MC's in cultivation novels have OP medical skills, assassin skills, and military skills from their past life. I've never seen a female MC cult. novel where she was originally born in a cultivation world and has to work her way up. I've seen several male MC novel's like that, but no female.

Yes, I know male MC's are like that too, but not a lot of them actually have the female tropes. A good portion of them are just male MC's who are in high school or college, or just an average worker. They have to learn harsh things and go through mentally insane things. On the other hand, females are granted buffs and don't start this way out when they arrive. (Correct me if there is a female cultivation novel like that)

In conclusion, the males usually have the tough life while the females can just relate to their past life to get things done. Not to mention getting help from the leading male(s) character(s).
 
You really can't sympathize with the female MC's suffering in their past life as they usually do a brief overview of what their other worldly harsh life was like (sometimes male as well). The males usually have to go through hardships throughout the novel which immerses the reader (most of the time).

Well, as a person who believes in gender equality, this is a frustrating problem for me. I just wish there'd be more novels where the female has to suffer hardships physically and mentally like the male trope does without the buffer and external help from their lover. I also just wish the female would pursue the Dao and not crazily fall in love.

I know you're all saying, "But Lemon! Those novels are to catch readers that love romance!"
I know! But do you think all males and females like romance cultivation novels? 
"But these are all romance cultivation novels!"
Where's the action filled, Dao pursuing cultivation novels with female MC's?!
Where's the female MC's that pursue a lonely road of cultivation like the male MC's?!
I bet there's tons of female and male readers wanting more action-packed, little romance female Xianxia/Wuxia novels!

To make matters worse, they make the males personality traits very annoying to other males! Only the Seventh Young Lady has satisfactory male traits including the leading male.

Yes this all sounds sexist, but hear me out. 
I know some like the romance part, but as a person who loves action-filled novels, the romance part isn't all that big for me. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy romance ones as well, but only if the MC is a male and the romance is kept in check and not exaggerated like the female ones. Very rarely will I enjoy a male lead in a female cultivation (Seventh Young Lady).

Yes, I am using past life experience for the female MC, but that's because I'm lazy. I can understand why the others use this buff of their female MC's, but apparently it's easy for the male and not for the female.
-------------------------
Phew! I've let out enough of my pent-up emotions. Let's end this rant about inequality towards male and female MC's.

I will try to do as little romance as possible in this novel and keep cultivation serious. There will be a little, but I don't know if I'll include a handsome male lead or multiple male leads. It all depends on the direction of this novel.

Well, I hope you all enjoy this novel when I start releasing chapters. 
Lemon Grenade signing off... [Insert Radio Music]

After being assassinated on the front-lines by a friendly soldier, Zeng Xinyue stumbled upon a mysterious golden wheel in purgatory. The wheel spun and landed on a mysterious golden symbol which was imprinted on her soul as "Telekinesis". Then her soul vanished and reincarnated into a place known as the Five Heavens, where cultivation isn't a fantasy.

Xinyue was awakened with no parents. She was given average looks and no talent for cultivation. On top of that, the orphanage leader didn't like her and kicked her out as a newborn baby! How bad is this luck?!

Will she survive as a newborn baby in civilization fraught with dangers? Will she be abducted by the forces of evil? Will this be another female cultivation love story?

One of the things I like to do is to share novels that I enjoy reading. 
However, I only share those that are free so as to help (a little bit) of such a wonderful book not get lost in the thousands of novels out there in webnovel.
For convenience's sake, I will also put them here from now on.
This is the list as from 1 December 2019, and whatever titles I remember from previous recommendations. I will upload the earlier recommendations when I have the time (and amidst editing after the novel ends).
Below includes free and those that became contracted after it had been recommended (note, it wasn't because I recommended it, okay). heh. 
Also, note. At the time I recommend, I try to choose novels that will continue. However, whether it does, or not, is beyond my control. I bear no responsibility if the Author disappears, or if they do dro the novel (I don't like when that happens either, so I know the feeling).  
So any novels that I did recommend before, but hasn't updated for more than two months, I will not put in this list.

Hi. Thanks for dropping by. Please bear in mind that I am a new author, and English is not my first language. I am writing because I find it enjoyable, and am only now finding the courage to actually pen it out for others to read.

This is a reincarnation story of a girl who had lived one life, and will experience another. Follow her along her journey of discovery: of herself, as she walks an entirely new path. Yet, at the same time, she seeks to find closure from her old life. 

World background: Current Earth, with names of countries being just Country J, Country SA etc. 

First, the MC is the typical OP character. Second, it's a slice of life story mixed with OPness of MC. If you don't like Gary Sue / OP characters, with a slow story pace, then this is not for you. 

There are elements of adventure/action, romance, some comedy and a little bit of mystery.  It is also a story about friendship and the bonds we make as we grow up.

The rating is due to certain scenes and sensitive issues from Volume 3 onwards. 

Please review. Your feedback is appreciated.

Chapter 15: Not So Alone Part 2     
The horses were nickering at each other, stamping their feet in annoyance as another loud bang echoed through the valley we were camped in. I pushed my completely unruly hair that had long since escaped the braid I foolishly thought would tame it, out of my face and looked around with wide eyes. Both Lane and Cy were stalking around the camp with flashlights bobbing, their faces set in flinty lines. The brothers were clearly aggravated as they attempted to search out the source of the noise in the darkness. The two men who didn’t say much were also out of their tents looking at the thick woods that surrounded us. In fact, they were both fully dressed and didn’t look like they had bothered to bed down for the night at all. The younger of the men even had a flashlight similar to the one Cy held in his hand. As he swept the trees with beam, he muttered, “That was gunfire.” 
“It could have been.” Cy was frowning and didn’t stop to say anything more as he made his way over to where the horses were clearly uneasy and unsettled from the loud noise.
The older man, the one called Grady, shook his head and crossed his arms over his chest as he gave Lane a hard look. “There was no maybe about it. That was gunfire. I served eight years overseas for this country and have been in the worst hell holes you can imagine. I know what gunfire sounds like and I know that shot was a lot closer than you probably want us to think it was. These mountains and this backcountry aren’t quite as isolated as you made it seem.”
Lane bristled, clearly not appreciating his brother’s integrity and veracity being called into question. It was the first time I saw a little bit of his older brother in him, as his spine snapped straight and his usually smiling mouth pulled tight. He didn’t do intimidating quite as well as Cy, but he was big enough and rough enough around the edges that the menace in both his face and body language was hard to miss.
“Isolated doesn’t mean the same thing as deserted. Like I mentioned, some of this area is a national forest, so we can’t control who uses it. That includes people who might be poaching game illegally off season, which they would be doing in the dark. It could also be vacationers camping close by who don’t know we run tours through here and are blowing off steam by firing into the sky. Guns are commonplace in Wyoming. Just because you heard a shot doesn’t necessarily mean there needs to be a cause for concern. There are a lot of possibilities, and whatever the situation may be, the safety of the guests in our care is always the number one priority.” Lane gave his little speech firmly and confidently. It made me believe he really would give up everything to keep all of us safe. Lane looked more cowboy than his brothers, but it was his dedication and his stalwartness that really pushed him over the edge into being everything I ever wanted a cowboy to be in real life. He was the kind of man woman wrote romance novels about and built fantasies around.
Cy made his way back to where we were all huddled, sparing a quick glance at my bare legs since I hadn’t bothered to pull my jeans on when I crawled out of the tent. He stopped by his brother’s side and let his gaze wander around the tense circle we had all gathered in. “Probably just kids screwing around. This is the first day on the trail and we’re still really close to the river. A lot of locals use it for weekend getaways in high season. Everyone, go back to bed and I’ll walk a mile down river and a mile up river and see what I can find.”
I let out a strangled little sound of alarm, and without thinking about what I was doing, reached out a hand and set it on his arm. The muscle felt like heated stone under my fingertips and I almost groaned when his skin shifted and flexed enticingly under the tips of my fingers. There was something about the sheer strength of him, the overwhelming command he exuded that was intoxicatingly attractive. Touching him wasn’t smart or good for my resolve. Unfortunately, I wanted to put my hands all over him and I wanted to do it when he was far more naked than he was right now. I wanted to learn his entire, massive body through every sense I had and imprint it on my memory, so that I could forever keep those riotous and rebellious sensations only he seemed able to spark.
“You can’t go traipsing through the woods and along the river in pitch-black darkness. What if a bear comes along, or what if you do stumble on some kids and spook them? If they are trigger happy, they might be twitchy enough to put one in you. And what if it is poachers? The last thing they’re going to want is some guy poking his nose into what they’re doing. It sounds dangerous. I’m not a fan of that plan at all.”
His eyes landed to where I was holding onto him, and instead of moving my fingers from where they rested, I curled them in tighter so I was clutching him like he was my tether to the very earth under my feet. As if without him to ground me, I would fly off into nothing.
“You smell to high hell, woman.” I balked at the rudeness and the blunt honesty in the face of my unwanted concern for his wellbeing. I also released my hold on him like the skin I was holding onto had suddenly grown thorns and barbs. I took a step back and crossed my arms over my chest.
“Fine. Go get eaten by a mountain lion or shot by some weekend warrior. See if I care. I’m going back to bed.” I wanted to huff and puff with a flounce so it was obvious I was irritated with him, but none of the men were even paying attention to me.
Grady, the newly revealed former military man, was trying to convince Cy to take him with him as he explored the area around the river. Cy didn’t seem overly enthused about the idea but he eventually acquiesced. 
Lane was busy questioning Webb about why neither of them had been in their tents when the first shot fired off. He told him he watched them come down from the woods behind where we had set up camp.
I was figuring out the more that I watched the two silent, suspicious men that Webb was a better liar than Grady. Without pause or hint of embarrassment, he told Lane that he was looking for a spot to use the bathroom and he asked Grady to come with him as a lookout. Lane calmly explained that he and Cy had already gone over the safest and preferred places to take care of business while we were on the trail, and wandering into the woods wasn’t one of those options. Webb simply shrugged and said flatly, “We’re supposed to be working on our teamwork skills. Helping another man shit in the woods seems like a damn good team building exercise if you ask me.” He walked away without further explanation, leaving Lane to turn to me with a questioning look on his face.
      I shrugged my shoulders and pursed my lips into a tight grimace. “I haven’t been the best at picking out the truth from fiction lately, but I would bet my yearly bonus that neither one of those guys is who they say they are.”
“Something ain’t right.” Lane’s voice was hard and sharp.
“There is something going on there we are not a part of for sure.” I was fully aware that some of the puzzle pieces to this big picture were still in the box and not dumped out on the table waiting to be sorted through. 
“Hard to hide anything that isn’t real out here. Lies and make-believe can get you killed real quick in the backcountry.” Lane sounded tired and there was a thread of worry in his tone. I nodded and moved to the entrance of the tent where Emrys had her head poking out and was watching me with sleepy eyes. 
I stopped when he said my name. “And, Leo…” I turned to look at him over my shoulder and noticed his trademark grin locked firmly back in place on his ruggedly good-looking face. “You really do stink. Tell Em if she wants to bunk with me in my tent, I have room.”
Considering he was so big on saying what he meant and standing behind his words, I had no doubts that he would welcome my best friend with open arms. However, that would mean he would be putting his sullen and surly older brother out and I wasn’t about to offer up the limited space in my tent to him if Em took his place. Especially not when I could smell myself and the fumes made my nose twitch. Initially, I thought the offensive odor would be a good way to keep Cy and my rebellious fascination with him at bay. The truth of the matter is, I was far less keen on the idea of keeping the man at bay than I should be. I wanted him close and I didn’t want anything about me to put him off from getting closer than close. Emrys was just going to have to tough it out until we got to the camp showers that were promised. 
I maneuvered past Em and threw myself down on the sleeping bag as she asked me, “What was that all about? Was that fireworks?”
“Not fireworks. It was a gunshot. Cy took off to see if he could find out where it was coming from.”
I heard rustling as she maneuvered her way back into her sleeping bag. There was a long pause before she muttered, “Not quite as alone out here as I thought we were going to be.”
“No, we’re definitely not alone.” And for the first time in my life I was okay with that. The truth was it took a lot of energy and effort to keep everyone out. Surrounded by these strangers, all of us scrambling to find our footing in an unfamiliar place, I was finding I liked how easy it was to let the right people in.
     

Every once in a while, you need to get away from it all.
I was a woman on the edge, shaken and shattered after a breakup that felt like it tore my entire world apart.
My best friend, sick of watching me drown in misery and melancholy, harassed me until I agreed to go with her on a week-long wilderness retreat.
She promised days spent bonding and getting in touch with our inner bad-asses. It was supposed to be all about the two of us roughing it and making do with the bare minimum. She assured me we were going to be pushed to our limits in ways that were unimaginable. Neither one of us could have ever guessed just how right she was.
Nowhere in the glossy brochure did it say anything about the fact I was going to have to battle the insufferable but deliciously rugged and sexy trail guide instead of the elements. The brochure also forgot to mention the part that warned when y
ou left civilization behind, there was no place to pack your inhibitions and fears.
I was told that I would be facing a week where the only thing I should expect was the unexpected. However, no one mentioned that I was going to have to fight for my life…and my heart as soon as I ventured into the unknown.
I was a pro at hiding from my feelings but when it came time to face a real threat, one that could change everything, I learned I was more of a no surrender, no retreat kind of girl.

Sometimes, she would also think that if one day she really married Gu Yinshu.
Would she be lucky enough to give birth to a daughter? In the future, they could bring their daughter back to No. 1 High School and tell her that our fate began in this school.
Of course, all of this seemed to be just a small wish.
"There's no lunch break today. I'm going to practice the piano. Why don't you come with me? " Gu Yinshu reached out and put his arm around her waist, looking at him with gentle eyes.
"practice the piano? Did that teacher chase you so hard? I feel that you've played the piano well enough. There's no need to practice during lunch break. "
Gu Yinshu smiled.
"The teacher thinks that I've played the piano very well, but I don't think it's enough. I must practice my piano better. "
"I don't think you have obsessive-compulsive disorder. Why do you have to practice so well? I think you're already very good at playing the piano. Every time I see you play the piano, I feel like a prince has appeared. "
Hearing the word "Prince" , Gu Yinshu couldn't help but want to laugh. He reached out his hand and pressed it against her forehead.
"Don't act like a fool in front of me. What Prince? "
"How am I a fool? Don't you admit that you're a prince? You're a real prince. In real life, I'm the so-called overbearing president and young master. "
"..."
"Now it's my turn to ask you. How many of these campus romance novels have you read? Your words are really too harsh. Don't think of me as the kind of boy in those little romance novels. "
When Sui Xin heard him say this, he couldn't help but laugh.
"Don't worry, I haven't read those love novels for a long time. Maybe it's because I'm getting older and older. No, I should say that I've grown up. It's impossible for me to continue putting these love novels in my eyes. "
"It's still okay to just casually read them. For example, to maintain your girlish heart. "
Sui Xin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he immediately reacted.
"How do you know about these love novels of the school weeds Have you read it before Have you read it before If you haven't read it before, how would you know about this campus Belle's romance novel? I didn't expect you, a grown man, to publish a young girl's romance novel. Do you know about it "Even I don't read that kind of novel anymore. "
"If you don't read that kind of novel, why did I read it with so much interest the last time? It's not like I'm reading you, so how could I publish that kind of stupid book? "
If it wasn't for the fact that he wanted to understand him deeply and synchronize his thoughts with him to keep up with the times, how could he really read that kind of stupid romance novel.
He was still so overbearing that the school bully fell in love with me. What the school bully and I had to say was that the school bully shouldn't be angered.
The more explicit the titles were, the more goosebumps he felt. However, he couldn't help but read them with interest.
He thought that she would be able to get some love experience from them, so he let her read them. He decided to flip through a few pages himself.
Who knew that he would confess in front of Suixin just now. It was really embarrassing for him.
He would never have read such a stupid book.
Gu Yinshu started to be arrogant again, and Sui Xin burst into laughter.
"I was bored last time. That time, the teacher punished me to copy those things, so I casually flipped through the love stories of my deskmate. "

On the day of her escape from prison, she had died unexpectedly and was reborn into the body of Madam Huo.
He was the heir to the number one financial magnate. She had charged out of nowhere and from then on, the obedient and weak Madam Huo had started to awaken. She had been trampled under her feet.
Huo Shao had expressed that since she had already been conquered, wouldn't it be too unfair for her if she did not give her body to him?
The muzzle of the gun was aimed at her head, "I only lost my wife and did not divorce. Choose between loving me or dying for love. "
Gu Ruochu,"..."
Do I still have a choice?



A few days passed, and the four of them boarded the ship to sail across to their next location, according to the plan to save the parents of those children back at the orphanage. It turns out, Haru had more ships to spare. 
...or to be more precise, more stolen ships to spare. 
Everyone started to organize their belongings in the rooms that were provided by Haru. Once again, the ladies were assigned to one room and the men to another. The room was furnished with simple furniture, and an opened window that had a great view of the clear, blue sea. A table with two chairs was situated beside the window, along with two beds at the other end of the room. 
It was as Yun stated, this continent was surrounded by water and the most common means of travelling was via a boat. 
Alas, the only person dreading to sail across the sea was only Hana. 
She sat at the bed, hugging her legs to herself as she pouted. 
"We have to ride on a boat again," Hana whined. "I don't want to get sick and vomit again! Why do I only get sick when I'm at the sea?!" 
"I bought another book that taught me how to make medicine for common ailments," Cecil explained, smiling helplessly at Hana. "I made some medicine to help with your seasickness." 
"Is-is it like the bitter medicine like last time?" 
"Well," Cecil shrugged. "All medicines are bitter." 
Hana recoiled back in alarm. "Eee! Bitter medicine!" 
"Vomiting or bitter medicine, which do you prefer?" 
Hana ducked her head down, pouting. "Bitter medicine." 
Cecil walked up to Hana on the bed, and Hana naturally extended her hands out. Cecil placed the bottle of medicine in her hands, her smile somewhat guilty. 
"Sorry, since I do not have the proper equipment to make it into pills, it's liquid. So you'll have to swallow it down." 
Hana paled, her expression wanting to burst into tears. 
She simply placed the bottle of medicine on the bedside table and turned around, before drawing circles on the stark white bedsheet. 
"Bitter medicine. Vomiting. Bitter medicine or vomiting. Both are equally bad. Both are equally bad…" 
Cecil couldn't help but chuckle. 
She approached the table, taking a seat and staring out into the clear, blue sea. She could hear the crew members hollering from upstairs, as they were slowly bringing in crates of food and items to prepare themselves for this trip. 
Just then, a notification popped out from the system informing her of the new upcoming mission. 
[ The mission details will arrive once you land on the next island. ]
[ Look forward to it, Cecil Lan~ ]
Cecil shook her head to herself, sighing. 
At this point, whenever she sees AI500 talking in such a manner, she knew it would be a troubling mission for her. It was then a thought suddenly occurred to her. 
"AI500, since I have chosen to deviate from the original novel storyline, will there be any consequences?" 
[ Of course not~ ]
[ You should know, your presence in this world right now is as good as being one of the protagonist in the story~ ]
"...so I guessed it right." 
"Does that mean...I will be under the effects of being a protagonist in this world?" 
[ … ] 
"What's...what's with the silent response?" 
[ Would you like me to be precise? ] 
"Please do." 
"And why does it sound like you are mocking me?" 
[ Right now, you are siphoning off the aura of the heroine of this novel, Hana Katae. ]
[ In simple words, you are gradually turning into the heroine of this novel. ] 
Cecil froze on the spot. 
"...wh--when did this ever start?" 
[ From the very beginning. ]
If someone were to describe Cecil at this moment, she would be malfunctioning in every part of her brain. 
She slowly swivelled her head to look at Hana, blinking rapidly. 
"..." 
"...so you are saying, me and Hana…" 
[ Yes. ]
Cecil lifted her hand up, pointing between herself and Hana still drawing circles on the bed. 
"That me and her are--" 
[ Yes. ]
"That we switched--" 
[ Yes. ]
"That I am--" 
[ Hah… ]
"Did you...did you just sigh and scoff at the same time?" 
[ … ] 
AI500 stopped responding after that. 
"Hey, wait!" 
"AI500, come back here! I still need to--" 
"...you are just going to ignore me, aren't you?" 
Cecil stared blankly into space, still malfunctioning. The questions currently running through her mind was her comprehending that she was slowly becoming the heroine of this novel.
"Cecil, what are you doing?" Hana questioned, blinking curiously. "Why are you just looking at the air like that?" 
She gasped awake at Hana calling out to her, and she forced a smile on her face. 
"Ha-Hana!" Cecil called out with exaggerated enthusiasm. 
Not knowing what was happening, Hana decided to call out to her friend with the same exaggerated enthusiasm. 
"Cecil!" 
"Hana, you know, I did ask you to read a lot of romance novels in the past," Cecil asked, somewhat nervous. "...and...the heroine and the protagonist always...ends up together, right?" 
"Of course!" Hana nodded, before she lit up. "Ah! And they always kiss too!"
Cecil almost choked on her saliva. 
"Well, sometimes," Hana giggled shyly. "They do take things further." 
This time, Cecil choked on her saliva, coughing harshly. 
Hana was oblivious to Cecil's suffering, continuing on with her babbling. 
"They always kiss so much, it's so cute! And the protagonist is so smooth with the way he kisses!" Hana squealed, standing up and starting to re-enact the scene in the books she always read. "Hands around the waist, or pinned against the wall, or--or the way he tilts up the chin of the heroine, leaning in to kiss--" 
Cecil covered Hana's mouth with her hands. 
"That's...that's enough!" 
Hana tilted her head. 
"Mmmh?" 
Cecil wanted to explode from embarrassment. 
Hana pushed away Cecil's hands from her mouth. "Why are you so red, Cecil? You yourself asked me to read those books last time and summarise them to you, and you did not turn red even once!" 
Cecil squeezed her eyes close. 
That wasn't me! That was the original Cecil Lan! 
And this time is different! 
Because...because…! 
Cecil felt her face burning even more. 
"I'll be going...to breathe in some fresh air," Cecil spilled those words out, rushing to the door. "Don't follow me!" 
Cecil opened the door, and Hana lit up in recognition at that moment. 
"Cecil, are you feeling shy?!" 
She stiffened, turning around to look at the red-haired woman as she stormed out.
"N-no!" 
Just then, Cecil collided into a hard object. 
It was Xue, who raised his hand to knock on the door but Cecil came running out of the door without warning. 
Xue immediately wrapped his arm around Cecil's waist to balance them both, and at that moment, something made the whole ship rock violently. 
There were startled yelps all around. 
"Oi, you bastard! Watch where you are steering your ship! You almost made us drop our stuff into the water!" 
"Sorry! It's my first time maneuvering a ship this big!" 
Cecil opened her eyes, feeling something supporting her head. 
It was Xue's hand, preventing her head from hitting against the wooden wall. 
He withdrew his hand, placing it on the wall beside Cecil's head, his arm was still around her waist. 
Cecil instantly realised the compromising position they were in, her eyes growing wide. The words that Hana spouted out replayed in her mind. 
"Hands around the waist, or pinned against the wall, or--or the way he tilts up the chin of the heroine, leaning in to kiss--" 
Xue leaned in. 
Cecil stilled, her mind becoming blank. Her eyes automatically drifted to Xue's lips that looked utterly soft and plump. 
"Are you alright?" Xue asked softly. 
At that moment, Cecil felt as if someone splashed her with a bucket of cold water and she could finally breathe again. 
Wh-wh-what was I thinking? 
Why am I even looking at his lips?! 
Am I some kind of pervert?! 
Cecil did not know what expression to show, trying to maintain her composure. 
"I'm...fine…" She forced a smile on her face, slowly pushing away Xue's hand from her waist. 
"Oh sorry, my hand…" Xue started to say, trailing off when he saw Cecil sliding down slightly and moving to the side. "...I...uhh…" 
Without any words, Cecil escaped from his arms and walked briskly down the hallway, wanting nothing more than to run out of the area. 
"...?!"
Xue watched her leave, blinking rapidly in confusion. 
Meanwhile, a few fragments inside Xue's head were clapping at his great timing of catching Cecil. 
Xue ignored his noisy soul fragments, turning to look at Hana who had been observing them the entire time with gleaming eyes. 
"Did she...is she avoiding me again?" 
"Hmm?" Hana beamed. "She is just shy!" 
"Shy?" 
"Mhmm!" 
"...why?" 
"Well, that's because we were talking about romance novels…" Hana started to say, before an idea struck her. "Do you want to read romance novels, Xue? I have some with me right now!" 
Xue hesitated. 
Kai: "Romance novels? Sorry, Hana but...no."
Alric: "I read one before, it's surprisingly...cute."
Leonaut: "Cute? How innocent. I have come across other novels that are better, should I ask Xue to get them?" 
Leonaut smirked. 
Zasiok: "Don't listen to him, Alric." 
Sid: "Yuck. Books." 
Isleif: "No." 
"Not interested,"  Xue shook his head at Hana, turning around. "I'll go and find Cecil." 
Hana pouted at her failed attempt to bring in another person to chat about her favourite romance novels. If she could, she would bring K'xug in but alas, he could not read. 
At that moment, Hana decided to pull out her trump card. 
"Cecil loves romance novels, I can show you the ones she loves!" Hana chirped. 
Xue halted, instantly turning back. 
Kai: "I take it back, read them, Xue!"
Alric: "I wonder what kind of romance novels Cecil likes?"
Leonaut: "Innocent? Cute? Or…racy?" 
Alric looked at Leonaut smirking wolfishly to himself. 
Zasiok: "Don't listen to him again, Alric."
Sid: "The books that my goddess loves deserve to be shared." 
Isleif: "Yes." 
Xue stretched out his hand. "Give them to me." 
Hana beamed, nodding eagerly. However, on the inside, she assumed a praying pose out of guilt. 
Sorry, Cecil!
Just this once, let me borrow the power of your presence!
Hana started to push her favourite romance novels onto Xue's outstretched hands, and she grinned from ear to ear. 
"Enjoy them!" 
Xue looked down at the novels in his hands.
Leonaut: "Oh, they don't look like the racy romance novels, huh." 
Zasiok: "It's innocent." 
However, Xue knew nothing about romance books or about romance. The entire time up in the heavenly realm, he only knew about the affairs between the two realms and training to make himself stronger. 
"Are...are you sure Cecil loves reading these...novels?" 
Hana nodded innocently. 
These novels will definitely help you in pursuing Cecil! 
So yes! 
If Cecil knew about Hana's true intentions of recommending Xue those novels, she would have dug a hole in the corner and hide in it due to embarrassment. 
Xue scratched his head, carrying the novels in his hands and walking out of the door. He was startled by K'xug's sudden presence beside the door, his arms across his chest. 
"Damn it, K'xug," Xue heaved out a heavy sigh. "Even now, you still haven't got rid of the habit of appearing out of nowhere." 
K'xug pointed to the books Xue was holding in his hands. 
Xue only nonchalantly moved the books out of K'xug's line of sight. 
"It's something to help me know Cecil better," Xue muttered out, keeping the books close to his chest. "Hana gave them to me." 
K'xug raised his arms in the air. 
Fine.
I'm not interested anyway. 
"If you want something, go ask Hana." 
K'xug frowned in confusion. 
"You look like you want something." 
K'xug pointed to himself, bewildered. 
Xue nodded.
"You aren't here to look for Cecil, or to look for me," Xue stated. "So you can only be here for Hana." 
K'xug scratched at his head. 
Xue shrugged, walking off. 
Since he got the feeling that Cecil was avoiding him once again for unknown reasons, he would study these romance novels that Cecil "loves". 
Meanwhile, K'xug kept his thoughts to himself, his expression conflicted. 
Cecil escaped to the deck of the ship, inhaling the refreshing scent of the ocean breeze. The wind blew by, cooling the heat from her face and someone joined in beside her. 
"Hey, pretty black-haired lady, we meet again!" Kiyae greeted with a wink. 
"You can just call me Cecil." 
"Ah, sorry sorry, I remember appearances better than names," Kiyae chuckled, supporting herself with the wooden fence of the ship. "Where's that red-haired cutie friend of yours?" 
"Are you talking about Hana?" 
"Yes, her, she reminds me of a doll. Ahhh, so cute, I want to hug her!" 
Cecil stared at Kiyae, bewildered. 
"But you are cute too, let me hug you!" 
Kiyae towered over Cecil, and Cecil had no chance to react. She found herself in the warm embrace of Kiyae, her mouth pressed against her chest. 
"I am kind of...kissing your…" 
"We are both women! What are you so shy for!" 
"Mmmph--" 
"Ahh, so soft and so small. I have been waiting for a chance to hug the two of you!" 
"A chance?" 
All of a sudden, Kiyae felt a chill down her spine and she recoiled back with a grin, her arms up in the air. 
"Aw man, time's up, no more hugging." 
Cecil tilted her head, giving Kiyae a confused stare. 
"Your lover is getting unhappy, and jealous." 
"Lover?" Cecil furrowed her eyebrows. "I don't have...one." 
"What? How is it possible?" Kiyae frowned back at her. "It's that handsome gloomy guy with the grey eyes. Not cute at all, I definitely won't hug him." 
"Are you talking about Xue?" 
"Yeah, yeah! That guy!" Kiyae nodded. "Who else can he be other than your lover? His eyes follow you around the entire day, and he gives you a smile that he never shows to anyone else."
Cecil was speechless. 
"Oh damn, don't tell me…" Kiyae leaned in, whispering. "Is his love unreciprocated?" 
"I…" 
"It's true, isn't it? What a sad fella!" 
Kiyae sighed, shaking her head before she perked up, snapping her fingers. 
"Wait...so, that means you are not taken? Great!" 
Kiyae leaned down, tilting Cecil's chin up with her fingers. There was a wolfish smirk on Kiyae's face that seemed more masculine at that moment. She lowered her husky voice even more, sounding seductive. 
"How about picking me? Being a woman myself, I know how to satisfy you better than that gloomy guy--" 
Someone grabbed Kiyae by the collar of her shirt, dragging her back. 
"Stop flirting and get back to work, we still have more things to carry up," Yun chastised. "As long as the person is cute in your eyes, you'll never stop."
"Tch," Kiyae pouted. "At least I'm not slacking off as much as someone else." 
"Stop sleeping, Ryo," Yun warned, just as a black-haired man walked past him with a loud yawn. "Or I'll toss every single alcohol beverage we have in this ship." 
Ryo immediately straightened himself, saluting Yun. "I'll work hard, captain!" 
Yun rolled his eyes. 
"What? Who called me?" Haru walked past them, carrying a crate in his arms. "Oh, Ryo?" 
"I'll work hard!" 
"O-oh…" 
Ryo scrambled off, carrying two crates on his shoulders. 
"Keep your hands off her, Kiyae," Yun advised. "Or her lover will sink the whole ship down with you." 
"He's not my--" 
Yun started to drag Kiyae away who was looking at Cecil with sad eyes. Haru walked up to Cecil, grimacing. 
"Hey, pretty lady. Keep your lover happy, alright? I don't want him to sink another ship of mine again." 
Haru felt a chill down his spine as well, wincing as he scuttled off. 
"For the last time, he's not my--" 
Cecil was cut off by a sudden announcement from the system. 
[ It is apparent now that Xue is only looking at you like a protagonist would at his heroine. ] 
[ The characters in this world have started to recognise it as well. ] 
[ Your status as a love interest has changed. ]
"Please don't tell me--" 
[ Congratulations! You have unlocked the rarest achievement "Steal the Role of the Female Lead"! Celebrate and rejoice, Cecil Lan! ]

"..." 
Cecil was speechless once again.

"Transmigrating into a cannon fodder villain from her favourite novel, Cecil Lan, our heroine decides to change her entire fate.

Her only goal was to prevent her precious protagonist from meeting the miserable ending, and to help him live happily ever after with the main female lead. 

It was all going well until...the protagonist falls in love with Cecil Lan instead, including all of his other fifty soul fragments scattered throughout the world."

The woodworking tools were easy to find; Uncle Kevin’s store had just the right ones.
Hans chose a set that was entirely handmade and did not require electricity, following the Amish’s religious requirements.
"We still need a young horse—let’s go check out a ranch."
Although Texan cowboys may have been well-known throughout the world, in reality, the Americans believed that cowboy culture had originated from Arizona, with Tucson city as the origin.
Flagstaff had its own cowboy culture as well; there were quite a large number of ranches and pastures there.
Hans made a call to a friend, and a few minutes later a huge, red Ford pickup was seen heading in their direction.
The pickup drove straight toward them, and the driver stepped on the brakes at the last minute.
The driver was a bearded man who popped his head out of the window and exclaimed, "Hey Big Fox! You b*stard—finally contacted me after all this time?"
Li Du was a bit pale as the pickup sped toward them and stopped at the last minute. There was hardly any time to react; he had almost used the little bug’s "time deceleration" ability.
Hans walked up to the driver and gave him a hug, laughing loudly, "Nicholas, you jerk! You’re still the same. Just shave off your beard—it makes you look like a fifty-year-old when you’re only thirty-something!"
The beardy Nicholas laughed and defended himself. "I look mature, not old. Beautiful girls nowadays prefer mature men. I need to keep my beard."
The duo hopped into Nicholas’s pickup. While on the road, the bearded driver, Nicholas Jones, loudly talked and joked around with Hans.
The pickup was moving erratically, almost as if Nick were a drunk driver crookedly maneuvering along the road throughout the journey. When they arrived at the ranch, Li’s clothes were wet from the cold sweat.
Both Hans and Jones had been classmates in middle school and high school. Ever since Hans had left for Phoenix and Hollywood two years ago, they had hardly contacted each other. They had been best buddies for a long time.
"I need to get a young horse—"
"That’s easy. Quarter, Mongolian, Arabian, or the Hanoverian horses—which breed you want?"
"Quarter," Hans replied. "I need one for working on a farm, plowing fields. As for the Arabian and the Hanoverian horses, you have them in your ranch? I haven’t seen you in two years, and you are into racing breeds now?"
Jones laughed cheekily, "Well, I don’t have them, but I know which ranch does. So if you want a Quarter, I have lots of them at home."
The American Quarter horse was an American breed; it was the largest breed registry in the world as well as the most popular breed in the United States. It was used widely for a variety of jobs: farming, plowing, cattle driving, horseback riding, and more.
When the pickup pulled into a ranch, Li Du saw fenced areas containing cattle and sheep. A herd of horses was galloping in a wide meadow next to it.
Jones blew a whistle after alighting from the pickup.
Moments later, they heard sounds of a horse running in a distance. A tall, red horse came galloping towards them, its long, wavy mane flowing in the wind.
Jones waved heartily to the strong-looking horse as it ran toward him.
"This is Mrs. Jones?" Hans looked at the horse and asked.
Jones grinned from ear to ear. "Yeah, that’s Mrs. Jones. She’s changed a lot, hasn’t she?"
Hans marveled at the sight of Mrs. Jones. "Oh my god, she’s all grown up now. The last time I saw her, she had just been weaned, right?"
"That was years ago," Jones chuckled.
Jones hugged the big, red horse and kissed her face with a loud smack. Mrs. Jones licked his face and he laughed, enjoying the interaction with the horse.
It was evident Jones loved the horse a lot; even the name he had given the horse indicated so.
Jones asked Li Du, "Pal, do you know how to horseback ride?"
Li got embarrassed and joked, "Well, do you mean the horse carries me on its back or I carry the horse on my back?"
Jones guffawed at Li Du’s remark. "Seems like I’ll be your instructor for today. Come on pal, follow me."
The three of them went to the stables. There were many clean and groomed horses there, but none quite as impressive as Mrs. Jones. Nevertheless, they were still good, healthy horses.
Once they entered the stables, Hans placed both of his arms behind him and began to look at every horse meticulously. 
Jones remarked, "Big Fox, this is not a bar where you get to pick a woman. Just pick any one of them—they’re good horses."
As he said that, he chose a horse for Li Du. "This is Austin. He shall be your companion for today."
Austin was fully-coated in black hair except for his four white hooves. Li Du liked the horse the moment he saw it. He led it out of the stable.
Li remembered his middle school days when he used to read Chinese martial arts novels. The male protagonists in those novels also had beautiful, dark steeds like Austin as their companion.
The names given to these horses were cool and poetic. For instance, names like "Dark hooves on snow,""Snowy Flight,""Cloud Wanderer," and so forth.
Austin was a good-natured horse. Although Li was a stranger to him, he followed behind him quietly without resistance. When Li stopped, Austin stopped too.
Hans chose a brown steed, and mounted it the moment he came out of the stable. He gently squeezed the steed with his legs, pulled the reins, and the horse started trotting forward.
Li Du took some selfies with Austin, then consulted his riding instructor: "Jones, what do I do?"
Jones laughed and said, "No rush—you’re not ready to mount the horse yet. Is this your first time coming in contact with a horse?"
"Yes."
Jones nodded, and handed Li Du a soft hairbrush. "You need to brush your horse first. This will be a bonding lesson."
Jones took another soft brush and gave a demonstration by brushing Mrs. Jones.
"This is a body brush: you can see it is made of soft bristles for brushing the horse. This is the final brush used in the process of grooming the horse. My dad gave them a good wash this morning with the dandy brush, which is good for brushing off the dirt and mud.
"The horse neck is an important and sensitive part—be careful. Let’s start from the face...
"Look the horse sincerely at the eye—let him feel your kindness and your leadership..."
Li Du diligently followed Jones’s instructions and carried them out cautiously. As he brushed, Austin let out a few snorts, his eyes exuding a cheerful glow as his hooves hit the ground gently, his tail swinging from left to right.
Unconsciously, Li went ahead to hug Austin’s head, and gently brushed his mane.
Jones was delighted and gave his praise. "You’re good at this, Li. You know how to handle horses well. If Big Fox hadn’t told me you were a treasure tycoon, I would recommend that you be a cowboy."
"Give him one million dollars a year," Hans said, "and maybe he’ll be willing to work as a cowboy. Gallop!"
Hans galloped off with the brown steed.
Li Du said, "Don’t listen to him—that man acts crazy from time to time."
"You’re right," Jones agreed, "he really is crazy." He got some carrots for Li Du to feed Austin.
After Austin finished the carrots, Jones said, "It’s time to prepare to mount the horse now."
