Synopsis
Blurb for The Blossoming Branches:
A first-person sweet romance.
A young master, a martial arts prodigy who is mature in public and a loyal puppy in private, × a miraculous healer.
Happy ending, a love that grows gradually.
“Your arrival planted a sea of flowers in my heart.”
If you don’t like first-person narration, you can check out The Sickly Beauty Keeps His Cards Close in my author’s column. It’s written in third person and shares this story’s setting. The first draft is finished, and I’ll post it as I revise.
Blurb for The Sickly Beauty Is Full of Schemes (now updating):
Question: What’s so great about having a husband who’s very, very, very rich and sick with consumption?
Answer: One, he’s all desire and no strength, so he can’t control her.
Two, he won’t hit her, because he can’t beat her in the first place.
Three, he won’t talk back... Actually, no, that one doesn’t count. He’s pretty sharp-tongued...
With enemy troops at the gates and a shortage of food, people, and horses, Miss Yue says: “Sorry for going on and on, Dad, Mom, cousin, brother, family elders, saplings in the courtyard, moon in the sky, and freedom lost to the past. I really need his banknotes!”
And so, Ji Yuyue, a street-fighting champion, marries Lu Fuqing, the famously sickly beauty.
On their wedding night, enemy troops launch a surprise attack. Miss Yue cuts through them like vegetables, blood spattering her wedding dress.
On the second day of their marriage, she’s busy investigating spies in the army.
On the fifth day, Lu Fuqing comes down with a high fever.
More than a year into their marriage, Ji Yuyue, who has spent the night away, climbs over the wall and returns home, only to find her “frail and helpless” husband standing in a pool of blood, with assassins strewn at his feet.
Seeing his secret exposed, Lu Fuqing calmly curves his eyes into a smile.
“My lady, the moon is lovely tonight, perfect for silencing someone... Or shall we go back to our room and talk?”
So much for being frail and sickly.
“Likewise,” he says with a soft laugh. “Didn’t you say you were only going out to buy wine?”
A calculating, scheming, secretly ruthless wealthy businessman hero × a clever, eccentric heroine with unmatched fighting prowess.
After exposing spies in the army camp and rescuing the shrine maiden from the stronghold, they face a flower thief who takes his own life, a hypocritical local notable who hides corpses, a Grand Tutor embezzling grain, and more...
As the world descends into chaos, the power couple of the Great Yan join forces to break through every crisis!
They each have a secret identity. The main goal is for me to have fun writing this.
*Ji Yuyue and Ruan Dingxiang, the heroine of What Should I Do About My Adopted Sister Being a Wooden Block?, are cousins.
Blurb for What Should I Do About My Adopted Sister Being a Wooden Block? (upcoming):
Ruan Dingxiang has just received an acceptance letter from her dream university when she passes out after staying up all night gaming.
When she opens her eyes again, she’s somehow arrived in the final years of the Yan Dynasty.
...Well, it’s not so bad. This era is pretty exciting. Here, you can even witness the iconic scenes history-loving girls have been dreaming of:
The most dashing female general slays an enemy commander.
The shortest-reigning emperor in history ascends the throne.
The retired emperor personally takes the stage to perform.
“Dear in-law, that’s a fine throne you have there. I’ll take it.”
Wouldn’t it be an unforgettable experience to live in seclusion among the mountains and watch the dynasties rise and fall from afar?
Oh, right. The identity she’s transmigrated into is... the cousin of Meng Yiguang, the emperor of a fallen dynasty?!
Ruan Dingxiang: ...
Is this right?
A slow, lazy, emotionally expressive girl pretending to be an ordinary person × a witty, open-minded, far-sighted emperor of a fallen dynasty.
Meng Yiguang: What should I do about my adopted sister being such a blockhead?
*The heroine was born into this world. The dynasty and historical figures are fictional.
*The leads are not related by blood, despite their adopted-sibling relationship.
*Happy ending! Happy ending! Happy ending! (Repeating for emphasis.)
Theme: Good and evil are repaid in kind. Stay true to yourself, and peace of mind is a blessing.
