Synopsis

A dazzling princess with a cool, unexpectedly adorable side × a gentle pavilion master who's cunning and fiercely possessive

(PS: Both leads have secret identities + sweet romance + two strong leads + past and present lives + mutual devotion)

Ling Shuang is the eldest disciple of Wumen Pass. In public, she's the immortal Lan female hero; in private, she's a cool, handsome young man. Her sword is swift, and she speaks little.

Everyone says she's like a blade kept sheathed, too cold to approach.

Few people know that she sits on the roof daydreaming beneath the stars, or that one pretty little jacket can make her happy all day.

The first time she sees Lan Cangming: This young master is rather handsome, but he doesn't look like a good person.

The second time: Why did I wake up in his arms?!

The Nth time: Why do I keep running into you? He smiles. “It means you and I are fated to meet.”

“Could you pretend to be the man I love and help me dodge my family's pressure to marry?”

Ling Shuang lowers her brows. “...All right.”

Later, he appears in Wumenguo with betrothal gifts. She stares at him. “Why are you here to propose?” He looks down at her, his voice gentle. “Because I've been in love with you for a long time, Shuangshuang.”

Later still, she curls up in his arms at night and whispers, “There's thunder. I'm scared.” He kisses the corner of her eye and softly comforts her.

Ling Shuang always thought she'd found a gentle, refined gentleman…

Until one night, Lan Cangming locks her in a golden cage and kisses her. He lowers his head and nips her ear, his voice full of amusement. “Don't you like this side of me, Shuangshuang?”

New Books Only! The More Underrated, the Better!

Any new book will do. I’m open to anything, especially books that haven’t gotten much attention. It’s hard being a new author, so let’s not leave them writing to an empty room, okay?

I’m 80,000 Words In and Only 9 People Have Read It. Anyone Doing Worse?

I want to read something similar to A Martial World Big Shot Falls in Love with Me. I have been writing for a long time. Maybe it is just my own passionate effort, because absolutely no one is continuing to read it.

New Writers, Come On In

It's so upsetting to keep seeing the stats barely change. The reader count doesn't go up at all, and there isn't a single comment. Hardly anyone reads the whole book, and by the last chapter, almost no one is still reading. New authors, let's support one another.

How Long Does It Take for a New Writer to Make It? I’ve Been Writing for 54 Days

54 days. I finished my first book on day 45: 320,000 words, writing for 8–12 hours a day. I’m now planning my second book, but nobody’s reading the first one anymore. Is it really that bad? Am I just someone with no talent? (sobbing)
