The Phoenix Builds, the Luan Returns

Upcoming historical romance: "Too Lazy to Dress Up": "Xuanzhen." The emperor froze for a moment, then turned around. "What did you call me?" Chongguang struggled to hold herself back. All she wanted was to run over and hug him, but in the end she stopped where she was and said softly, "Nothing. I called you 'Elder Brother.' Is that what I should call you from now on?" Though the emperor had clearly heard her say his name, he put on a stern expression and said coolly, "How dare you! If you keep behaving without regard for the rules, I will..." The words had barely left his mouth when he felt a dull ache in his heart. Above them, the crabapple blossoms were releasing their fragrance. The emperor couldn't help recalling the poem about crabapples: "The east wind sways, suffusing the light with splendor; fragrant mist hangs in the air as the moon moves past the corridor. I fear the flowers will fall asleep when night grows deep, so I light tall candles to illuminate their rosy faces." His heart twisted in anguish. He added, "Reflect on your actions. I'm going back." As the emperor's figure receded into the distance, Chongguang turned away, plucked a couple of crabapple blossoms, and tossed them carelessly into the pond beneath the bridge...

Upcoming Republican-era romance: "Playing the Field: Thirty-Six Stratagems": Shao Yuguang, who had always been a master of navigating the world of romance, never imagined that one day he would meet the most formidable cardsharp of all, and that this woman would have him wrapped around her little finger... An irregularly updated xianxia novel. Free throughout serialization: "The Little Beauty" Jiuxiao is the one and only aloof male god in the Three Realms for ten thousand years. He has never married, and rumor has it that he is waiting for a soulmate. Guanguan is a mermaid who rose step by step from a little fish flopping in the mud to the position of goddess. The Three Realms have an absurd rule: there can only be two deities, one male and one female, and they must be married to each other. If the couple has a son, he becomes the male god; if they have a daughter, she becomes the goddess. Every divine couple has only ever had one child, either a boy or a girl. But long, long ago, Jiuxiao already knew through foresight that Guanguan was destined to have more than one child, and more than one in each birth... Nine years ago, she was the daughter of the chancellor. He came to the chancellor's residence in tattered clothes and became her tutor, teaching and guiding her alone. Nine years later, he was the right chancellor of the Great Zhao, with power over the court, while she had become a prisoner. When they meet again, neither their eyes nor their hearts can find certainty. Theme:
