Honest woman × pure-hearted, deranged man

Zhou Lanzhang is an honest woman. After working diligently at a newspaper for so many years, all she wants is to live out the rest of her days in peace.

She never expected a passionate romance to come her way. She had already experienced one when she was young.

Unfortunately, she was the one who pushed that man away.

She never imagined that one day he would appear in her life again.

He became the magazine's patron, and he became... hers.

He is handsome, and his abilities and family background are second to none.

How could an honest woman like Zhou Lanzhang withstand his deliberate advances?

It was only natural that the two of them would rekindle their romance.

But one day, Lanzhang learned the truth:

Xu Zhiyuan's schemes, Xu Zhiyuan's twisted sense of fun.

His tenderness, his kindness...

It had all been a lie. He wanted revenge on her.

He wanted her to fall in love with him, then leave her behind.

Lanzhang wiped away her tears and immediately packed her bags to leave.

But who could have guessed that the man would be waiting outside the villa that night, watching her with a faint smile? "Lanzhang, are you leaving again? Are you going to leave me all alone again?"

With the man closing in on her step by step, Lanzhang had nowhere left to retreat.

His voice was tender and lingering in the night. "Don't you hate me? Then what is this?"

Lanzhang could only cry, unable to speak.

Coming soon: historical novel The Empress's Dilemma

Sweet, naive empress × ailing emperor × deranged regent

Murong Xuan's empress is a wanton woman.

Even after entering the palace, she still can't stop carrying on with her own brother. They think they've hidden it perfectly, but he sees it all.

Xie Su is the regent. He cannot act recklessly.

But Zhaozhu is his wife, and for the sake of the realm, he ought to have children with her.

Zhaozhu was destined to become empress from the day she was born.

Her father is the leader of the upright scholars, and her elder brother is the regent. The throne of empress can only belong to her.

Countless people long for that position, but Zhaozhu does not.

The person she loves is her elder brother,

a decisive, ruthless man adopted into the family from a collateral branch.

Yet this is the very man who personally pushed her onto the throne of empress.

Before she entered the palace, he came to her chambers and stroked her hair. "Zhaozhu, don't be afraid. That sickly man will die soon. Then we can be together forever."

Zhaoning nodded, leaning against his chest.

Zhaozhu thinks Emperor Murong Xuan is pitiful.

In the entire palace, all he has is a handsome face.

He is frail and ineffectual.

He has neither power nor influence, only a title others forced upon him.

He is nothing but a puppet of the great clans.

Though she has done nothing, his dislike of her is impossible to hide because she is a daughter of the Xie family.

He is powerless against the great clans, but he can neglect her and treat her with contempt.

But one day, her husband changed.

He began to love her.

It was a pure kind of love Zhaozhu had never felt before.

The man's sword is one inch from piercing her chest.

His gaze lingers on Zhaozhu.

"Zhaozhu, tell me. Who is the father of the child in your belly?

"Tell me, and I'll spare him."

Murong Xuan wears a gentle expression. Behind him, Xie Su is chained up and suffering torture.

Reader's guide:

1. There are two male leads. The heroine ends up with Murong Xuan.

2. The heroine will struggle with loving both men.

3. Murong Xuan is very, very deranged. Things may get quite extreme later on. Please take this warning seriously. If anything feels wrong, stop reading. Please, please stop.

4. Xie Su and the heroine are not related by blood.
