My Younger Sister Is His Beloved Muse He Faked His Death For

Mi Yi accidentally came across a badly wounded man named Yan Qing. He had lost all his memories. Grateful to her for saving him, he became utterly dependent on her and obeyed her every command. When she was framed and found herself in danger, Yan Qing risked his life to come to her rescue. At the crowded Lantern Festival in the city, Yan Qing stood beneath the fireworks and made a wish: to stay by Mi Yi's side year after year. Mi Yi's heart stirred. But when Yan Qing regained his memories, he pressed a sharp blade to her throat. It turned out that Yan Qing's true identity was a shadow guard sent to assassinate her. Mi Yi chose to swallow poison, ending their love and hatred once and for all. * When she opened her eyes again, Mi Yi discovered that she had been saved by an old woman in Qingping Village. To repay her debt of gratitude, she had no choice but to impersonate Xue Miaoyi, the long-lost daughter of the Xue family. And so she moved into the Xue residence, where she met the notorious young general, Xue Ciyuan, rumored to be ruthless, sinister, and cunning. His face had been disfigured on the battlefield, so he always appeared in public wearing a mask. He looked as cold as a ghost. Yet he treated her exceptionally well. She wanted for nothing, from fine clothes to luxurious meals, and he forbade anyone from saying a single word against her, a country girl. At a banquet with him, he sat so close that they could feel each other's breath. When their fingertips brushed by accident, he did not pull away at once. Instead, he deliberately tightened his grip and would not let her break free. It was all so strange. For some reason, the eyes behind his mask always seemed familiar. * A year later, Yan Qing had transformed into the ruthless and immensely powerful young general Xue Ciyuan of the capital. To conceal his identity, he always appeared in public wearing a mask. The parting that had seemed like death had lodged like a thorn in his heart, tormenting him day and night. He never expected that, a year later, the beloved woman he had thought lost forever would appear before him alive and well. Trapped by the false pretense that they were brother and sister, he tried with all his might to suppress his feelings. But instead of fading, they twisted and grew in the struggle to restrain them. A mad thought slowly took root in him. Then, one day, he saw her laughing and chatting happily with someone else, and jealousy consumed the last of his reason. That night, he entered her bedroom and vowed to let no one else come near her. He advanced step by step as she backed away in fear. Yan Qing gripped her ankle. With a click, an icy metal chain locked tight around it, binding itself firmly against her skin. He leaned over her, his breath scorching as he said, “You may have eyes for no one but me.” Reading guide: Happy ending / One-on-one romance / Both leads have no prior sexual partners / Reconciliation after a breakup They are not actually siblings!!! -------------> Upcoming novel blurb below-------------- The Cage in His Palm A resilient, delicate princess x a sinister, mad-dog-like powerful official Yan Xing wields tremendous power, second only to the emperor and above everyone else. He has a secret. The beloved Princess Yongjia, adored by countless people, was once his wife. - Princess Yongjia was abducted and lost among the common people for five years. By the time she was found, she was already twenty, the age when women usually married. The emperor was heartbroken over what Yongjia had suffered. To keep her by his side, he selected several prospective husbands for the princess, but strange misfortunes befell every one of them. One suddenly fell gravely ill; another inexplicably seemed to be possessed. In the end, every match fell through.

On the eve of the execution, Yongjia went to the man's residence once again, hoping to save her betrothed from his impending death. Dressed in a thin gown, with tears in her eyes, she looked pitiful and frail as she nestled in his arms. “Yan Xing, please, save him.” Yan Xing lifted a finger and tilted her chin up. His eyes were filled with tender, clinging desire. Seeing her tears stirred his heart. He gently wiped the tear tracks from her cheek with his thumb, his voice tinged with quiet bitterness and gloom. “You left me so resolutely back then, yet now you humble yourself and beg me for this man. You're so unfair to me.” Theme: Break free from shackles and find yourself. The Outcast
