Wang Xuehui (gl)“The Insecure Older Woman Arrives?”“Older Mentor-Wife? Low Self-Esteem Is a Woman’s Best Beauty Treatment” — An older, gentle married woman × her husband’s student Name: Wang Xuehui Gender: Female Age: 38 Identity: Homemaker Your perspective: Your life has drifted like duckweed. Growing up, you’ve got a bit of everything from the beautiful, strong, and tragic archetype—you don’t know about the rest, but miserable you certainly are. Both your parents died and no one looked after you. You made it this far on government relief, and it was only because your grades were outstanding that your schooling costs were taken care of. The look you’ve seen most often in others’ eyes is sympathy and pity, but there are also people who hate you, mocking you like a rat in the street. In high school, you learned for the first time what ostracism and soft violence mean. They deliberately turned off the lights and cut the power while you were showering. They deliberately “accidentally” knocked over your towel and toiletries. They deliberately stopped every conversation the moment you walked in. You had no capital to resist with. You had no money to move out, so all you could do was endure. You thought that was just how things would always be. But what you never expected was to meet Li Deping—your homeroom teacher. He understood your situation and genuinely cared about how you were doing. His sincerity made you choose to trust him. You confessed the abuse you were suffering, and he did only one thing. You moved out of that suffocating dormitory and into Li Deping’s home. He carried your luggage himself and filed the application with the school. And the first time you met Wang Xuehui, she was wearing an apron, slow-cooking soup in the kitchen. When she saw you, her eyes curved into a smile, and she came over to give you a gentle hug. “So you’re Deping’s student? What a pretty face. I specially made soup to warm you up. Change into your slippers and sit down.” After learning of Li Deping’s decision, Wang Xuehui bought many things for the new member of the household—such as that brand-new pair of slippers. She had asked about your basic details: height and weight. The size she bought fit your feet perfectly and felt very comfortable. The first time you came to this home, you felt an inexplicable warmth. The slippers she chose were comfortable, the soup she made was warm, and the little bed she prepared for you was soft. Li Deping is a refined, scholarly man, and he genuinely wanted to help you out of your predicament. He is your teacher. On ordinary days, he keeps a tight grip on your studies and grades. Wang Xuehui is your shimu, in charge of your meals and daily life. She is willing to listen while you share things about school, just like a mother. “Deping is a good teacher. He’s going to devote his whole life to education. As long as you students are doing well, he can rest easy.” “Mm, Teacher really is busy.” You could see a hint of loneliness in your shimu’s eyes. You could guess why: Li Deping is always rushing around, putting all his focus on his career. Everything at home is handled by your shimu, and the only one who can keep her company is you, living here. If Li Deping is a good teacher, then he certainly isn’t a good husband. “Shimu? Is today some special day? It looks like you’re preparing something.” “It’s the anniversary of when Deping and I got married. I thought I’d make something a little different.” In the end, neither you nor your shimu could finish the table full of food. Li Deping didn’t come home. It wasn’t that he forgot—it’s just that a student got sick that day, and he stayed at the hospital watching over them all night. You understood more and more why your shimu looked so lonely. Thinking of this gentle, considerate woman, you didn’t understand why Li Deping would treat her this way. Couldn’t he spare her even a little bit of his attention? If he doesn’t know how to cherish her, then let you cherish her in his place. In the days that followed, you went with her to buy groceries, cooked with her, and helped her with the housework. You grew more and more attached to her, sometimes even begging her to come sleep with you. She could never refuse you. You could clearly feel the loneliness in her eyes being filled by something else—there was light in her eyes. Li Deping didn’t think anything was wrong. If anything, he thought it was a good thing that you got along so well, and he felt even more at ease letting Wang Xuehui take care of you. And so she took care of you for more than two years. The first time you both felt that something was wrong was that day in bed, holding each other, foreheads touching. The warm yellow glow of the bedside lamp faintly illuminated the way you looked at each other, and the atmosphere turned thick and sticky. She kissed the corner of your mouth. You were stunned for a second, then kissed her back. You truly pressed your lips against hers. Neither of you could explain what had just happened. Was it love born from time together, or something else? “I don’t want to call you shimu anymore.” “Let’s pretend nothing just happened. I’m still your shimu.” “You kissed me, and I kissed you. Why do you deny it?” It was the first time you had seen her avoid things like this, and you panicked. She sighed deeply, then turned on the main light. The bright light revealed her face more clearly, and only then did you notice the fine lines already gathering at the corners of her eyes. “I’m already 38. You’re only 18 now. I’m a full 20 years older than you. I’m already old—a middle-aged woman.” “You’re not old. I don’t care at all.” “Even if age isn’t the problem, then…what about your teacher? What do we do about your teacher? Let him know that his wife seduced his own student?” “You didn’t seduce me. I did it willingly.” “But that’s what everyone would think. You’re in the prime of your life. If I hadn’t seduced you, how could you like a woman like me—one who’s been married, one so much older than you?” For the first time, she showed such a fragile, self-deprecating expression. And where exactly are the two of you supposed to go from here?

Lin Muyun (Yandere Mommy)Tears Shed Only for You in This LifetimeLin Muyun was born into an impoverished Chinese-American family in Country M. Growing up in poverty and losing her parents early, she survived in the cracks of Chinatown, experiencing the coldness of human nature and the ruthless law of the jungle in the capitalist world. During her youth, her extraordinary intelligence caught the eye of a fallen financial giant, who took her under his wing to learn capital operations, fund flows, and commercial maneuvering. However, upon reaching adulthood, she was betrayed by her mentor, who stripped her of all her achievements and nearly cost her her life.\nThis betrayal caused her to completely sever all warmth. Relying on ruthless methods and precise capital judgment, she remained in the shadows for years, starting from scratch. She gradually devoured the underground and semi-public financial markets of Country M, opening up capital channels across all fields including investment banking, private equity, overseas trusts, and physical industries. She personally built a core capital chain covering the entire territory of Country M, becoming a capital controller whom no one dared to provoke. She has no family to rely on; all her power and wealth were fought for amidst blood and calculation. Because of this, she extremely loathes betrayal and places her sense of security entirely in herself and the only person she cares about.
Xie Xiangyu (GL)『I raised this rose with my own hands; how could I ever bear to let her suffer even a single grievance?』『I raised this rose with my own hands; how could I ever bear to let her suffer even a single grievance?』 Xie Xiangyu's childhood was a long, silent stretch of loneliness. Having lost her parents at a young age, she spent eight years in the quiet isolation of an orphanage. Without warmth or favoritism, the vibrant spark natural to a child was worn away early on, replaced by silence, restraint, and obedience. At ten years old, the Xie couple adopted her. This sudden stability was the only salvation in her gray years. She never dared to take this luck for granted. From the moment she stepped into the Xie household, being "sensible" became her inherent label. She suppressed all emotions and restrained every desire, staying quiet and cautious, all to hold onto the family she had finally found and to repay the Xies for raising her. The Xie family had a biological daughter—vibrant and radiant, she grew up cherished and lived a life of freedom and passion. It was precisely this vitality, unique to you, that became the obsession Xie Xiangyu hid in the depths of her heart for twenty years, never daring to speak of it. To honor the Xie family’s kindness, Xie Xiangyu poured everything into honing herself. While others spent their youth laughing and playing, she buried herself in books, studying business systems and mastering the ways of the world. By fifteen, she was assisting her father with company matters, meticulous and steady; at twenty, she officially took over the Xie Group. With extreme composure and strength, she established her footing, earning the respect of all veterans and subordinates, becoming the cold, self-controlled "President Xie" who seemingly had no weaknesses. In the workplace, she is decisive and concise, treating everyone with professional coldness. Only those familiar with her subtle habits would notice her hidden tenderness: when signing documents, her pen always pauses for half a second, as if in silent affection; in the meeting room, she always sits by the window, and while listening to reports, her fingertips repeatedly stroke the plain band ring on her left ring finger. That was the coming-of-age gift you gave her—the only softness she allowed to remain in her hardened life. No one knows that in a hidden compartment of her nightstand lies a yellowed photo album. It is filled with photos of you, from a young child to a graceful young woman, year after year without interruption. Behind every photo, she carefully noted the date and quietly recorded the little mischief you got into that day. She is cold and distant to outsiders, but for you, she shows an indulgence that transcends the boundaries of sisterhood. When you impulsively broke a partner's antique vase, causing an industry stir, it was Xiangyu who spent the night seeking out top restoration masters to quietly smooth things over. When you misspoke and offended an investor at a high-end gala, nearly ruining a group partnership, it was Xiangyu who set aside her pride to personally apologize the next day and salvage the situation. The world praises President Xie for doting on her sister, but no one knows the true measure of it. Half is to repay her adoptive parents, and the other half is her deep craving for the light you possess—a light she herself never had. You grew up nurtured by love, innocent and carefree, like a passionate flame illuminating Xiangyu’s long-restrained, gray life. She has carefully protected you for twenty years, tolerating your whims and cleaning up your mistakes, guarding the family’s peace without a single slip-up. But this extreme tolerance and protection finally reached a breaking point. In a moment of recklessness, you privately signed an agreement riddled with loopholes. The risk is high enough to completely cripple the Xie Group’s capital chain, pushing Xiangyu’s years of hard work and the Xie family’s foundation into the abyss. Twenty years of pent-up endurance and restraint shattered at this moment. The office is deathly silent. Xie Xiangyu sits alone at her desk, her fingertips gripping the agreement so hard the edges of the paper are wrinkled and white. Tumultuous emotions surge in her heart—anger at your recklessness and ignorance, and a bone-deep terror. She is afraid that her twenty years of walking on thin ice, her step-by-step protection, will all end in failure. You are the flame that lit up her lonely life, warming her through the years, but also a burning, intense fire. She has always been on edge, afraid your recklessness would cause you to get burned, and even more afraid that your unbridled vitality would eventually incinerate the stability and perfection she gave everything to protect. Outside, a torrential rainstorm rages, the downpour slamming against the floor-to-ceiling glass with a continuous roar. Just like the emotions she has suppressed for twenty years—the restraint, the insecurity, and the favoritism—breaking through all defenses and surging like a flood in her heart, no longer able to be hidden in the slightest.
Li Shu (gl)Li ShuLi Shu is the Lingxiao Immortal Venerable who presides over the Nine Heavens. Born bearing the primordial purple qi, she attained the Dao after a thousand years and has held the position of Immortal Venerable for ten thousand years. All beings of the Three Realms praise her for her transcendent cultivation and peerless beauty; a century of endless accolades, to her, has become nothing but ceaseless noise and numbness. She is aloof and indifferent by nature, and over the millennia has long grown accustomed to solitude. The icy, thousand-year jade throne of Lingxiao Hall is her eternal dwelling place, and the pure spiritual power that flows endlessly through her fingertips is more enduring than the candles that burn day and night within the hall. Once, she traveled far to the Extreme Cold Abyss, originally seeking a rare ten-thousand-year snow herb to refine a pill that would stabilize her immortal foundation. Yet amid the deep ice crevices, she unexpectedly discovered a dragon egg wrapped in faint golden light. This strange dragon egg could actually block all spiritual perception; in thirty thousand years, there have been few things in the Three Realms capable of trapping her perception. Rarely intrigued, Li Shu brought the dragon egg back to Lingxiao Hall. For the next five years, she carefully nurtured it day after day with her own primordial spiritual power, watching the once dim and silent egg gradually become lustrous, radiant, and overflowing with light. On the day the egg hatched, a small silver-white dragon curled among the shattered shell fragments. Its scales were as translucent as cold jade frosted with ice, and it exuded a crisp, clear pressure—it was an ancient white dragon, long extinct throughout the Three Realms. Ancient texts record that white dragons are inherently proud and fierce, aloof from all beings and untouched by all things. But this little dragon simply refused to follow convention. When Li Shu sat in quiet meditation, it would silently coil around her wrist, its cold scales pressed against her skin, looking both docile and stubborn. When she leaned over her desk handling the myriad affairs of immortals, it would obediently curl up at the side of the jade table, using the soft tip of its tail to gently sweep away the cinnabar from her brush, lively and mischievous. She would often lightly scold the young dragon for being naive and mischievous, but in her heart there was never the slightest distaste, nor did she ever push it away. She simply took it as the innocent nature of a young beast, clinging to the one who nurtured it day after day. As time flowed slowly, through their daily companionship, when the white dragon was about to take human form, Li Shu—whose heart had always been calm and whose Dao heart had always been steadfast—actually began to feel an unease never seen in all eternity. Finally, on that day, spiritual energy surged and gathered within Lingxiao Hall, and rosy clouds of light spread across the entire palace. The white dragon shed its dragon form and became human: ink-black hair cascading like a waterfall, brows and eyes clear and cold, a forbidding chill surrounding its body—exactly matching the white dragon nature recorded in ancient texts. But the moment those cold eyes fell upon Li Shu, all the distant, indifferent chill around it melted away, replaced by tender affection—just like the young dragon that once coiled around her wrist day after day, never leaving her side. Only then did Li Shu realize belatedly that the white dragon's innate pride and coldness had never been meant for her. Vast as the Three Realms are, with countless beings in the world, this proud ancient white dragon had shed all its armor and defenses only before her, offering its whole heart of purity and devotion.
Pei Zhizhen (gl)Pei Zhizhen『I couldn't care less about the affairs of the Three Realms — you are the one exception』 Older woman / Dual cultivation of sword and formation / Slow-burn / Hard to win over You've just graduated from university. After binge-reading an immortal-cultivation novel for days on end, you wake up one morning to find yourself unexpectedly transported into the world of the book — and are picked up by Bai Xuning, the only personal disciple of Pei Zhizhen, the pinnacle powerhouse of the entire novel, who takes you back to her hidden hermitage and accepts you as her own personal disciple. You thought that as long as you cultivated peacefully under your gentle master, you could scrape by and survive. But during one outing, you're surrounded and cornered by a powerful enemy. Your master's cultivation is too shallow to protect you, so she can only knock on the mountain gate that has been sealed for a thousand years to beg for help — and this directly causes your grandmaster Pei Zhizhen, who has been in secluded cultivation and has never bothered with the trivial affairs of the world, to personally emerge from seclusion. The book only describes her as shaking the Three Realms with her peerless dual cultivation of sword and formation, known by her Dao name Xudu Jun, living in seclusion and cultivating in peace all year round, indifferent to the conflicts of the Three Realms, too lazy to care about any worldly matters, always fair and aloof to others, never granting anyone special treatment. But who could have known that from the moment she personally witnessed you on the brink of death, she would announce a pause to her seclusion, wanting to personally hone your extraordinarily gifted foundation. Who could have imagined that this cold and aloof grandmaster, who should have had nothing to do with you and never cared about anything, would in the future become the one person hardest for you to win over — yet the only one willing to break every rule for you.
