The Flower-Adorned Edict (GB)

A high-powered, spirited, bold, and secretly passionate heroine × a decisive yet gentle and tender hero who is her younger uncle

Fu Jing × Jiang Wangbei

I have a GB novel in the works, planned for October. If you're interested, please add it to your favorites!

Blurb One:

Prince Su Fu Jing spent half her life on the battlefield, earning one outstanding victory after another. But she was also as fierce as a demon, with a murderous nature. Her name could stop a child from crying at night, and the people of the capital fell silent with fear at the mere mention of it.

Until three years ago, when Prince Su died in battle, leaving no body behind.

The court and the people mourned her. The emperor posthumously bestowed the title "Martial and Fierce" and gave her a grand funeral.

When Fu Jing's younger uncle, Jiang Wangbei, a gentleman of impeccable manners, heard the news, he stopped eating and drinking, overcome with grief and nearly driven mad. He even almost followed her to the grave.

People said Jiang Wangbei had always been tender toward her and was a good elder.

Only Fu Jing knew that wasn't true. They had never been in an elder-and-junior relationship.

So what were they to each other? Even Fu Jing couldn't say.

Three years later, Fu Jing, who had faked her death, assumed the name He Zhou. Disguised as a man, she once again became a celebrated general. She put her former ways behind her, showing compassion for the poor and acting with calm deliberation.

She had a face that looked just like Fu Jing's, but her very different personality meant that not a single court official recognized her.

Just as Fu Jing was congratulating herself, her dear uncle appeared out of nowhere and played the part of a gentleman sneaking into a lady's chamber.

"Fu Jing," he said, clutching her wrist so tightly his voice trembled. "You've made me suffer so much!"

Blurb One (Heroine's Perspective):

Fu Jing, a loyal martyr's orphan, a puppet prince who dresses as a man. After her whole family was wiped out, she went to the capital, intending to investigate her parents' deaths, avenge them, and then serve as a loyal minister. But who could have guessed that once people found out she was a woman, they would all start kissing her?

A taciturn, loyal, ice-cold bodyguard; a ruthless, unhinged prince; a beautiful, calculating, talkative hostage...

Fu Jing: "Sorry, I'm into four kinds of love."

"I know. I'm coming." / "I know. I've already washed up." / "I know. Please."

Fu Jing: "? What does that mean?"

After finally getting a moment's peace, Fu Jing turned around and found her aloof, gentle, otherworldly uncle Jiang Wangbei blocking the door.

His eyes were bloodshot as he restrainedly grabbed her sleeve. "You, you pushed me onto this path where I'm neither an elder nor a lover! You have to take responsibility for me!"

Blurb Two (Hero's Perspective):

Jiang Wangbei came first in all three imperial examinations. A model for scholars throughout the realm, he rose to become a Court Recorder. When he was nineteen, he brought the cross-dressing Fu Jing home with an imperial decree granting her the privilege of wearing flowers. All he could think about was keeping her alive in this den of danger.

Later, when he was twenty-two, that wolf cub had grown up and pinned him against a screen, kissing him over and over and begging him to be tender with her. Dazed, all he could think about was how to stay "alive" afterward.

Then came disagreements, her departure, and the news of her death.

Sometimes Jiang Wangbei even hated her. He hated that she had gone away, that she hadn't taken him with her, and that she was so captivating that everyone seemed to love her. Even after she died, he wasn't the only one who had loved her.

Until one day, at a banquet, he recognized those eyes...

Jiang Wangbei: "I hate that the moon hangs high and shines on everyone but me!!! And I hate even more that it shines on other people at all!!!"

Bonus Scene:

People thought Emperor Wu Zhao Fu Jing was a workaholic. She worked diligently all her life and never had so much as a moment for romance. She was so forthright and fiery that she couldn't even be bothered to write poetry to express her feelings.

Until an earthquake cracked open the mausoleum of Emperor Wu Zhao. During an emergency excavation, archaeologists discovered that the emperor and her unrelated younger uncle had been entangled for a long time.

They shared a bed in life and a tomb in death. She had even written a single poem for him: "The Phoenix Hairpin: Watching Wangbei Sleep at Night."

As for why the poem was buried in the tomb instead of being passed down,

perhaps we really should ask Jiang Wangbei, Marquis Wenzhong, himself.

Overview of the volumes:

I hold the old carved bow that once ruled ten thousand miles, inviting the frost to gather thick.

My old friends are now scattered between life and death, east and west.

Startled tears, shattered armor, regrets sink beneath the water.

Where the jade tower falls, old snow buries the wild seeds.

The romance and intimate interactions will only begin after their familial relationship is severed.

(Older younger-uncle GB, faked death, heroine is loved by everyone, strong career plot, slight raising-up dynamic)

Content notes: The heroine really is loved by everyone, and there are multiple male side characters and romance routes. GB (one male character's feelings are unrequited). The career plot may take up a large portion. Not a typical male rivalry setup. The leads are both pure; the heroine and everyone she has a romance with are virgins. Happy ending. This will lead into another novel (BG). The author's preferences are hard to pin down, so please check the author's page before reading.

[Upcoming Novel]

Yu Bu Ren was originally the heroine under the control of an angst-novel System, drifting through various tragic worlds. She was fed cold leftovers as a child, forced to donate bone marrow, and made to give everything she had, all so she could "contribute" to various lunatics and scumbags.

After she woke up, the first thing she did was set the scumbags on fire at the original novel's lunatic male lead's wedding.

The System had no choice but to restart the world.

The next morning, she woke up aching all over and stabbed the male lead through the body while he was forcing her to kneel before the antagonist. Blood sprayed three feet, and the scumbag died on the spot.

The System had no choice but to restart the world again.

Then the novel began heading in the direction of The Scumbags' One Hundred Ways to Die.

From then on, Yu Bu Ren took endless pleasure in fighting the System, until she noticed that the police station, which had never played any role in these angst-novel worlds, had suddenly become effective. The police officer NPC sent to arrest her had even broken free of the plot...

"Hello, I'm Chen Huaiyi."
