[Resilient beauty and smooth-talking charmer x High-needs, scheming, resentful lover] Complete manuscript finished; updates three times a week.
After her parents die and her marriage falls through, Lin Ci finds herself with nowhere to turn and does three momentous things.
First, when her marriage falls apart, she becomes the new prefect's concubine to pay for her grandfather's treatment.
Second, addicted to a burning poison, she finds herself a lover she likes to help relieve it.
Third, when her lover kills the prefect, she fears being implicated and flees to the capital with help from her former lover.
On a snowy night in the capital, Lin Ci buys two jugs of fine wine and heads home, enjoying a rare moment of ease. But before the wine can even warm, her lover corners her. The man is cold and grim, his phoenix eyes swirling with a possessive madness as he interrogates her again and again.
"You sweet-talked me into working hard to cure your poison, and coaxed me into promising to serve only you, but then you ran off with someone else? Lin Ci, from now on, those feet of yours won't touch the ground."
Locked in his room, she can speak her sweet, soothing words only to him, whether she means them or not.

Lu Junzhi, lord of the Southern Territories, was born with a peculiar constitution. Whenever he suffers a grave illness or injury, he must find someone to test medicine on. While staying in Yizhou, he has no choice but to impersonate the prefect and use the prefect's concubine, Lin Ci, to test his medicines.
That concubine is greedy and tries to seduce the prefect in hopes of bearing his child, while stringing along her former lover by playing on their old affection. Lu Junzhi thinks that once he has recovered from his injuries and illness and can reclaim his identity and leave the Shao residence, he will have nothing more to do with her.
But later, Lu Junzhi thinks that Lin Ci is alone and helpless, and a few little schemes are understandable. Perhaps, when he next comes to Yizhou, he could take her with him.
He never expects that after working nonstop to settle the military affairs of the Southern Territories, he will return to Yining and discover that Lin Ci has run off with her former lover.

Coming soon: After Binding Myself to a Powerful Minister with a Love-Binding Curse. Please add it to your collection
Seventeen-year-old peasant girl Jiang Chan learns she's the true daughter of a Minister of Revenue. Her identity is restored, and she's promised in marriage to a notorious playboy in the capital. On her wedding day, both her mothers worry she won't be able to keep her husband, so they draw a love-binding curse over her heart.
But on her wedding night, Jiang Chan goes out to look for her husband and can't find him. When she returns to the residence, she accidentally enters her brother-in-law's room. Even worse, after their reckless night together, the love-binding curse takes effect.
The secret love-binding spell makes the man and woman who share a bridal chamber that night infatuated with each other. If they cannot be intimate again, they will feel worse than dead. Once activated, the spell lasts for half a year.
Jiang Chan can't imagine that her brother-in-law, so elegant and untouchable in public, is shameless and utterly unscrupulous in private. The ways he satisfies the curse grow more and more despicable by the day. But since she caused this, she can only give in, hoping to break the curse soon and return to a normal life.
.
Shao Yong never thought his wicked younger brother's wife would take revenge on him by cursing him. He can't control his desire for her.
But he's so obsessed with cleanliness that acting under the curse is more painful and nauseating than being killed.
To stay alive, Shao Yong grits his teeth and allows his younger brother's wife to come to him each night to satisfy the curse, hoping that after six months, everything will return to normal. But later, Shao Yong has to admit that Jiang Chan is soft and delicious, and even her tears taste wonderful.
At last, the final night arrives. After satisfying the curse, Jiang Chan gathers her skirts and stands, her voice trembling and timid.
"Eldest brother, the love-binding curse is broken. I won't come again."
Shao Yong runs his tongue over his lips and sneers. "You won't come again? Then your brother will come to your courtyard. Will your second brother agree to that?"
She dragged him into a pool of passion, and now she wants to live happily with another man? Dream on.
1v1, both leads' first time, happy ending.
Sweet, honest, doted-on heroine x cold, fastidious, vicious dog.
