Because of My Stupidity, I Became a Timid Vampire

Chapter 120 : Art Comes from Life

In the evening, after Bai He finished helping her mother with housework, it was already close to nine o'clock. She returned to her room, sat at her desk, and turned on her computer.

Every evening from nine to eleven was her fixed gaming time. She had always been very disciplined, playing only two hours on school days and going to bed promptly afterward.

Bai He opened Overwatch as usual, but stared blankly at the game's main menu, feeling like something was missing.

She hesitated for a while, then returned to the desktop and found that person who had just become her friend today from her friends list—Bei Yaofeng.

But when she saw Bei Yaofeng's avatar, Bai He was stunned. That avatar was... Mei Aihara?

Her own avatar was Yuzu Aihara, so she couldn't help but start overthinking. Could it be that Bei Yaofeng was hinting at something?

But she quickly shook her head and secretly laughed at her own dirty thoughts. She and Xifeng had only met once—maybe she just purely liked this character.

"Want to play a couple rounds of Overwatch?"

"No, no, I have something to do later, definitely next time." Bei Yaoyue replied to her.

"Alright then, I won't disturb you." Bai He replied somewhat regretfully.

Actually, she hadn't expected Xifeng to agree. She just wanted to hear Xifeng's voice, but unfortunately there didn't seem to be any opportunity.

However, she quickly recovered from her disappointment. Since they were classmates from adjacent classes who would see each other often, there would be plenty of opportunities in the future.

"By the way, let me give you a heads up—that man who was with you today might not be simple. Be careful."

"Mm, thanks for the reminder, I will."

After spending most of the day with Brother Liu, Bai He had some sense of the situation. Although Brother Liu hadn't revealed his identity to her, just looking at his lavish spending, he definitely wasn't someone to mess with.

Closing the chat window, Bai He had no heart for gaming. Having experienced the joy of duo-queuing with Bei Yaofeng in the morning, she suddenly felt that playing games alone was so boring.

Staring at her desktop in a daze, she thought that perhaps she should find a different path.

Although renting herself out could easily earn her a considerable sum of money, it was also full of danger. Today there was Brother Liu, and in the future there might be Brother Zhang, Brother Chen...

Today she was lucky enough that nothing irreversible happened, but how long could this luck last?

She had previously just not realized there were really such insane people in the world. Now that she knew there were tigers in the mountains, she naturally wouldn't insist on going to Tiger Mountain.

Bai He thought for a long time, then found a link that had been gathering dust in her browser bookmarks—the author backend of Carrot Bun Light Novels.

There was only one book she had written before, with over ninety thousand words, but only a pitiful hundred-plus collections. Even editors were unwilling to sign contracts with such a flop like her—she had been rejected every time she applied for a contract.

Due to three months without updates, her collections had almost dropped below three digits into the two-digit range.

Bai He bit her lip tightly. Apart from studying, she couldn't do anything and had no special talents. How could she earn money to supplement household expenses while attending school?

She sighed, finding that apart from writing novels, there didn't seem to be any better options. Even though this path was completely unsuitable for her, she had to bite the bullet and continue.

The previous book had no future, so Bai He decided to regroup and start over.

With the experience of her previous book flopping, Bai He understood that if she wanted to write novels that made money, she should write content that readers loved to read. Whatever readers loved to see, she would write.

She spent an hour going through almost all the books on the rankings and determined that there were two types of books that users of Carrot Bun Light Novels most loved to read.

(Disclaimer based on survival instinct: The following content represents Bai He's mental process and has no connection whatsoever to the author's personal thoughts.)

The first type was "invincible" plus "harem"—showing off to the whole world, face-slapping everyone, and collecting all the women.

Bai He had never been interested in such books. The reason might be that she was a girl—she completely couldn't understand the existence of "harems."

Love was sacred and exclusive. To love another woman while already loving one woman—at best it could be called universal love, at worst... it was being a scumbag.

She couldn't understand why those women would have such brain problems as to wholeheartedly love a man who openly flirted with another woman in front of them. Shouldn't such promiscuous stinking men be killed rather than kept for New Year's?

Harems had touched Bai He's moral bottom line and were a type she would never consider no matter what.

The second type was "transformation" plus "yuri," which made Bai He somewhat more interested.

Bai He didn't know much about yuri—most of her knowledge came from anime. She felt she might be able to try this type of novel.

So she began constructing the framework for the entire book. What type should this book be? What should the protagonist be like? What should the female lead be like? What should the setting be like?...

Suddenly, Bai He had a flash of inspiration. They say art comes from life—why couldn't she draw material from life?

When it came to yuri, Bai He immediately thought of those two people—the Bei Yaoyue sisters.

She didn't think the Bei Yaoyue sisters were a yuri couple, but felt that their identities were very suitable for use as the protagonist and female lead of a yuri novel.

Both wealthy family daughters and sisters—if they developed some love-hate entanglements, they would definitely create many exciting sparks, right?

However, if they were biological sisters, it might go against morality, so setting them as step-sisters would be better.

Bai He began deep thinking. If Bei Yaoyue and Bei Yaofeng loved each other, who would be the top...

It should be Bei Yaoyue, right? Bei Yaofeng looked like a weak bottom who definitely couldn't be the top, while her sister Bei Yaoyue was cold and cool, very much having the aura of a top.

The pure weak bottom sister being gradually pulled into the abyss of corruption by the evil strong top sister... that sounded great.

Thinking of this, Bai He immediately created a document on her desktop and typed in her flash of inspiration.

The protagonist Ruo Shou was originally a young man who had just graduated from university, but accidentally intruded upon an altar where gods were being worshipped. Firmly believing in atheism, Ruo Shou spoke disrespectfully to the gods, and in anger, the gods sent down divine punishment.

When Ruo Shou awakened, he found his soul had possessed the body of Nan Qinfeng, the adopted daughter of Crescent City's mayor. What made Nan Qinfeng despair was that she had a perverted sister, Nan Qinyue, who made no effort to hide her desires toward her.

As an adopted daughter, Nan Qinfeng had no status in the family whatsoever. She was daily toyed with, imprisoned, and trained by Nan Qinyue, yet dared to be angry but not speak out. Their father turned a blind eye to this, allowing Nan Qinfeng to live in constant fear under Nan Qinyue's shadow.

"Perfect!" Bai He forcefully hit enter and couldn't help but shout.

With inspiration flowing, she wrote as if divinely assisted. In just one hour, she had typed out a three-thousand-word prologue.

After spending twenty minutes checking over her draft, Bai He opened the author backend, selected "Create New Book," and submitted it for review.

The title... would be "Because of My Recklessness, I Became My Sister's Plaything"!
