"Come on now, stop crying and tell me what's wrong" Zi Hua hugged Xiao Bai and slowly coaxed her, it was quite a queer site, a 15 year old girl coaxing a girl a few years older than her like how a mother would.
"*hic* *hic*, I'm fed up of all these MLs!" Xiao Bai calmed down under Zi Hua's coaxing.
"The MLs are all so overbearing, they think that girls will fall in love with them after they cook the rice, where do they get this idea from!"
"At first, when I read them, I was fine with them and I found their over-bearing attitudes cool and like a prince charming, there were even some tsunderes" Under Zi Hua's tutelage, they had picked up a few otaku terms, Zi Hua had 'friends' who had unique hobbies and mainly the otakus would share there knowledge with her so she subconsciously remembered. (A/N: It is my and those like me's mission to spread the joy of being an otaku!)
There were also those who read online novels and they often fangirl/fanboy about it to her with their fanfics and such, now that Zi Hua picked up novel reading she understood their thoughts, there were only stories and the non-fiction books here were pretty inaccurate.
"But after reading so many, I got tired of them so I went in search of a different type of ML but all the romance ones I've read, 90% of them are the same type of ML, even for the really strong and courageous FLs, they were so docile towards the ML. I liked them at first and the novels are still really interesting and fun to read but... I'm fed up, this isn't fair!" Xiao Bai was just like a child throwing a tantrum, Zi Hua's collection of novels was quite a sight, even she herself had not finished all of them, she had just been buying all the novels that appealed to her.
"Yes, yes, Xiao Bai I get you, but the authors have put their hard work into the novel and it's really hard to think of a personality for an ML that fits with a FL, not to mention the time period this is and the masses' beliefs" She had noticed it too, but even in her era it was similar, not to mention the patriarchal ancient era.
"Why not this, you write your own book and then you won't have any complaints because the plot will go however you want it to and what you say goes?"
"How did I not think of that, thank you master, I'll start right away" Xiao Bai leaped away to start her own novel after the enlightenment.
"Wait! Xiao Bai, no more reading novels that include cooking rice! You're too young for that!" Zi Hua didn't forget to reproach the naughty child, despite how she looks she was still a young child, though mentally not, she biologically is.
"Yes mom - I mean master" Xiao Bai ran off to her own rooms, Zi Hua had gotten them their own rooms but it might have been a bad decision considering that they are going through their rebellious phrase, though then again, children like to have their own rooms, somewhere to be their haven.
"Xiao Hong, come on, let's go"
"Yay! Yes, master" Delighted that it's request has finally getting fulfilled, Xiao Hong turned into her baby form and sat on Zi Hua's shoulder.
"Are the others not coming?" Xiao Hong knocked it's head to the side in confusion.
"They're busy" Xiao Bai had her novel to write and Xiao Zi was reading his shoujo novels, yes shoujo, so what?!
The two left Heaven-defying artifact, Zi Hua had gone out of Lightning Bolt Trials whilst wearing that suit beforehand so that she would have one less thing to worry about when she left later on.
Zi Hua changed her appearance to that of a azure blue long haired youth who seemed cold and aloof with captivating amethyst eyes, luckily, thanks to the transformation technique, she didn't have to bind her chest, if she had to, it would prove to be quite troubling considering her assets...
