Peach Blossom Ferry

Tao Yao, island master of Tinglan Island and head of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce.

The imperial court feared her, and foreign merchants went out of their way to avoid her.

She took charge of the family business at fifteen and monopolized the Maritime Silk Road by eighteen.

More than a hundred great ships, tens of thousands of servants, and all the world's riches were in her hands.

Everyone said her life was complete.

Until, at the Tinglan poetry gathering, she met a poor scholar with a bright and refined air.

For the first time in her life, she understood what it meant to fall for someone.

For the first time in her life, she was willing to bow her head and compromise.

Everyone said she was ruthless and cared only for profit.

But to protect him, she gave away her vast fortune.

She had no interest in princes or sons of the richest men in the land.

A formidable heroine × a poor scholar

Political intrigue and revenge × sweet, devoted love

A beautiful madwoman: if she doesn't love you, so be it; if she does, she'll risk her life for you.

What she wants has never been gold or silver, but someone worth giving everything for.

A reader's guide:

After a decade away, this online novelist is back full-time~~ (My political intrigue novel, The Story of Deng Sui, full of twists and nerve-racking turns, is still hot off the press. If you like palace-intrigue stories, go add it to your list!)

The Twelve Flower Gods series is updating steadily. Camellias in Bloom (Book 1) is complete, and Spring Blossoms in the Apricot Grove (Book 2) is ongoing~ 🍵

Theme: True love isn't giving someone a hand when they're down, but adding to their happiness when they already have it all. I don't need you to make me whole; your presence simply makes my world more brilliant. True strength isn't being unafraid of loss. It's having everything and still daring to risk it all for the one you love.
