The Villainess Trainer: Shen Xiatang's Revenge

skylar_evans231
In every story, there exists a protagonist star, that shields the chosen male and female leads. It bends fate itself to ensure the triumph of its chosen and those who bear it are destined to rise, to win and to be loved even if it's at the cost of someone else. Shen Xiatang was never meant to matter. She was just a disposable side character, a stepping stone, a tragedy written solely to elevate someone else’s “happy ending.” Betrayed, abandoned, and crushed beneath the overwhelming luck of those favored by the Protagonist Star, she dies with a curse on her lips that states: “In all life times, in all generations for as long as your line will be, I will make sure that your children's children and their children's children, suffer for the injustice I have faced today. I will muddy their luck so bad that they will wonder what kind of bad karma they must have accumulated to meet a calamity like me!” Whether by divine mistake or something far more sinister, her wish is granted and Shen Xiatang awakens not as a living person, but as an invisible spirit bound to people like her who were destined to be crushed by the protagonist. With revenge in her heart and terrible suggestions on her lips, join Shen Xiatang as she joins hands with those who had been destined to be cannon fodder to rewrite fate itself.

Beauty and the Thief [BL]

Tao Hua's life is fucking miserable, and that misery somehow earns him the title of "Village Disgrace." In order to cope with the awful treatment, he often retreats into words untold, dictated by the flip of a page. These worlds leave him with the dream of escaping this piece of shit town. To his utter dismay, his wish comes true, but not in the way all those fairytales promised. His saviour is a man he becomes enthralled with and whom he names “Lord No-Name.” This male lead is a touchy man with many faces. And for lack of a better word, Tao Hua can’t decide if he’s either the story’s love interest or villain. But the two share a common sentiment. This prince, alike Tao Hua, is also fucking miserable. But arguably worse! And instead of coping like a normal fucking person, he does the opposite. He doesn't escape. He doesn't cope. He just tries to fight against the already fated truth of his demise. 0/10, worst prince ever written. Misery aside, this fateful encounter will force Tao Hua to make a choice, leaving him with only one question: "What was one mean-spirited beast to a town of people who despise a beauty's entire existence?" ──── ୨୧ ──── Beauty and the Thief is a slow-burn, stop to smell the roses, type of novel. That being said, the roses are beautiful, and upon closer observation they’re less floral than once thought. It follows the POV of Tao Hua, as he tries to navigate his new life in a place that actually values him, and the prince of this story’s mood swings. ──── ୨୧ ──── !!!!Disclaimer!!!! EXTREMELY SLOW PACED! This story borrows the premise of Beauty and the Beast, by Jeanne-Marie Le Prince de Beaumont, relying heavily on the trope while also twisting it to smithereens. The beast element is exchanged for a power dynamic, and the curse differs from the original story. The narration borders on sarcastic and self-aware, while also targeting deeper topics. It often breaks the fourth wall as a stylistic choice. A lot of the work will be edited over time, but the bones will remain the same.
