My Late White Moonlight Has Returned

☆ Coming soon: My Country Boy in the Apocalypse. Please add it to your reading list! Blurb below: At seventeen, Yin Cenyu took all his worldly possessions and joined Xiang Yue's uprising. He stayed by his side all the way to the throne, only to have his life cut short by a cup of poisoned wine at the victory banquet. Only after dying did he learn that he was just a disposable character in a novel, his whole life hurriedly summed up in a single line: "Xiang Yue was brutal and merciless, and after conquering the realm, he killed all his meritorious followers." Xiang Yue was the tyrannical villain of that novel. The injustice of his fate made Yin Cenyu so furious that he came back to life. When he opened his eyes again, three years had passed, and he had become a "male concubine" offered to Xiang Yue. He was lying on the imperial bed. Yin Cenyu looked down at himself: a peach-pink bellyband, pine-green silk trousers, and a thin, translucent purple gauze robe. He looked quite alluring. Then he looked at Xiang Yue, standing by the bed, and couldn't decide whether to fight him first or defend his own virtue. Unexpectedly, Xiang Yue reached out to kill him again: Who gave you permission to wear these clothes? And who gave you permission to have a face like that? Everyone at court knew that ever since the death of that unspeakable white moonlight, the emperor had become deeply suspicious and increasingly brutal. He saw a murderer in everyone, and the slightest suspicion meant an entire household would be executed. Everyone in the capital lived in fear. To secure a way out, several noble families secretly sent a few people who looked just like that person to the palace. Who could have guessed that the emperor's condition would grow even worse? Every day, he called one of his stand-ins by his white moonlight's name, and even wanted to make him empress. Xiang Yue: The capable should do more. If you can serve me in bed, then do it more often. Xiang Yue: The capable should occupy the empress's position, so I'm making you empress. Yin Cenyu: ...Something doesn't seem right. Author's note: This story was first announced in 2015, under the original title Reborn as the Empress. The core premise was already in the blurb back then.

Click into my author page to add it to your reading list! ------ Shen Qing was the village's famously fierce country boy, unable to find a husband. After his biased grandparents and his father, who was desperate for a son, "kicked" him and his mother out of the family home, he had no choice but to make a living selling firewood. One day, while he was up on the mountain, a wild boar chased him into a cave. But the other end of the cave opened onto an entirely different world. That world was full of rotting zombies and mutated animals and plants. But all Shen Qing saw were gold rings that could be bought for a single steamed bun at a street stall, silver bracelets that might not even be picked up if dropped on the ground, and jewelry that could be bought in bulk for just a few buns... And the handsome man with the gentle gaze sitting behind the stall. From then on, Shen Qing traveled between the two worlds. With the gold, silver, and knowledge he gained from the apocalypse, he built a grand house, bought servants, became one of the wealthiest people in the area, and brought home a handsome, rich husband. Song Kaiji had struggled to survive in the apocalypse for nearly a year and had grown numb to life. He could only ease the pressure of survival by doing something as ordinary and comforting as running a street stall. He never expected that a routine sale of "junk" would bring him not only love, but also hope. "Everything at my stall, gold, jewelry, jade... it's all two jin of rice! Everything for two jin of rice! You can't lose out or get cheated for two jin of rice..." "Stall owner, are you for sale?" "Limited-edition item, only for Shen Qing." After the rain, the skies clear, vast and blue. ---------- Coming soon: period drama I Met My Daughter from Thirty Years in the Future [The Nineties].
