   The words echoed in her dream: "Wen Mi, don't be his tail, come be my princess." — He Jue. "Wen Mi..." "Wen Mi?" "Wake up!" "Hey—" Wen Mi's shoulder was suddenly shaken violently, jolting her awake from her daze. Her chest heaved as if she had just struggled to the surface from the deep sea. The cicadas' chirping in June seeped in through the half-open window, mingling with the hum of the air conditioner. The dormitory was filled with the sweet scent of watermelon sparkling water, but the pungent smell of blood from her dream lingered in her nostrils. Fine beads of sweat slid down her forehead, wetting her eyelashes, her glassy eyes misty and shimmering in the sunlight. Her black hair fell to the hem of her snow-white skirt, her unadorned face pale and fragile, breathtakingly beautiful. Shen Weiwei stared at her stunned expression, her nails almost digging into her palms. Then, her expression turned impatient, and she shoved her again, saying, "Sleeping like this, you won't even answer if I call you!" She pouted and got up, deliberately bumping Wen Mi's shoulder. "Don't stand here in the way." Wen Mi slumped onto the cold tiles, only dragging her weak legs to the sink after the bathroom door slammed shut. Cold water gushed out, and she buried her face in her hands, hot tears mingling with the water, burning her eyes. Memories flooded back—in her dream, Jiang Yanchen, dressed in his graduation gown, walked with his back to her towards the luxury car at the school gate. No matter how much she cried and screamed, the man didn't even turn his head. She rushed into the rain, distraught, when suddenly the blinding headlights illuminated the road ahead. Amidst the loud clang of metal, someone abruptly pulled her into their arms. "Don't be afraid." The deep voice was breathless, warm blood dripping from his arm onto her hand. "Wen Mi, don't be his tail, come and be my princess." The faucet was still dripping. Wen Mi looked up at herself in the mirror, her reddened eyes reflecting the empty dormitory. The boundary between dream and reality was blurred, only the name "He Jue" remained, like a brand, deeply engraved in her heart.

    Still experiencing a reading slump? Then you absolutely must check out *The Black Moonlight Crown*! The female protagonist, Jiang Huashan, was originally a villainous cannon fodder character in the novel, portrayed as beautiful, wicked, and foolish. Adopted at the age of eight by the Shen family, the wealthiest family in Whale Harbor, she was manipulated by fate, conspiring with her villainous mother to scheme against the Shen family. In her quest for the male lead who didn't love her, she ultimately met a tragic end, jumping into the river to commit suicide. However, suddenly awakening to self-awareness, Jiang Huashan defies the plot, reborn, and decisively seals her heart with cement. She gathers a group of cannon fodder to form the "Cannon Fodder Alliance," embarking on a journey to subvert the storyline. In this process, she helps other girls break free from the shackles of fate and achieve female self-salvation. The book features exciting subversion of tropes and nuanced character portrayals, with each character possessing a distinct personality and shining qualities. The romance between the female protagonist and the male lead, Shen Guiling, is also incredibly compelling; the seemingly cunning but actually charming male lead subtly guides her, their interactions both ambiguous and sweet. This novel, with its novel premise and unique setting, is definitely worth reading!

    In Liangzhou, the yellow sands obscure the sun, and deep within the desolation lies a small courtyard. The newly arrived clerk, Pei Yan, is handsome and refined, his pen producing exquisite prose; next door, the embroiderer, Shen Qingwu, in simple clothes and a rustic hairpin, her needlework is masterful. This seemingly ordinary couple, sharing the mundane life of the alley, is the most "perfect" sight in this harsh land. But then, the night wind howls. His calloused fingertips trace the subtle lines of the documents, his eyes like cold stars, his strokes silently deciding life and death; her slender hands, the silver needle piercing the air, blood seeping beneath the embroidery frame. He is a lurking blade in the night, she is a deeply buried, deadly thorn. Two powerful figures meet, their identities intertwined, their unspoken tests clashing silently amidst the mundane realities of daily life. They are not only partners in bed, but also evenly matched opponents. He brewed tea, she added charcoal; the rising steam blurred calculations and suspicions. She washed clothes, he hung them out to dry; beneath their rough linen garments lay a harrowing past. Every smile and frown concealed a sharp edge, every meal held a deadly trap. In this desolate land where spring never arrives, they danced on the edge of a knife, silently entrusting their backs to each other on the brink of life and death. When the storm sweeps across Liangzhou, who will be the first to tear off their disguise? "Spring Breeze Crossing"—witness how two powerful figures, under the eaves of an ordinary house, use murderous intent as a catalyst to compose the most thrilling and poignant tale of love amidst the everyday realities of life.

The first time he held his wife, his hands trembled like he had Parkinson's, his inner monologue screaming: "Ahhh! How can a woman be so soft?! I've got her! She's mine!" 💥 This internal monologue was more pungent than the second old man's pipe at the village entrance! His wife was crying and ignoring him? Qin Yong was so anxious he spun around in circles, clumsily shoving a "limited edition" enamel mug with a big red "double happiness" character into her hands: "Want... Some water?" (Straight man's concern, late but at least!) Then he transformed into a "feast carrier," piling up a mountain of meat and steamed buns for his wife... (Eating people, eating souls!
