Returning to the Ballad (GL)

In a nutshell: The heroines and supporting female characters fight back against the oppression of a feudal, patriarchal society, carving out a new path and changing the history books. (No golden finger, or perhaps a silver one? Plot-driven.) This novel will be published on April 7. There will be three chapters released on the day of publication. The chapters being removed from the free version start with Chapter 36, so please buy carefully if you've already read them. Thank you for your support! Tang Ci x Rou Ke: A former dynasty's princess, bent on revenge, disguises herself as a man and enters the court as an official. On Qingming Festival, she reunites with Rou Ke, the commandery princess who was her childhood friend... Tang Ci: The gentle, caring older sister A Wan, who watched me grow up, wants to sleep with me after twelve years! Rou Ke: The girl I raised as my future bride for seven years got lost, and twelve years later she pretends not to know me? Lu He x Yiyang: Wen Qinghe changes her name to Lu He and disguises herself as a man to enter the court as an official, hoping to clear her father's name. One day, the brash Princess Yiyang strips her and discovers she is a woman... Lu He: I really regret wearing such a flimsy chest binder on the first day we met. Why did I do that??? Yiyang: I really regret not carrying on after I stripped her on the first day we met. Why didn't I just get down to it??? One pair of childhood friends, with feelings running deep beneath the calm surface. One pair of rivals, brought together by fate, falling deeply in love. The above is the shameless version of the blurb. In reality, the writing style is very proper, extremely proper, almost too proper... I don't want to scare readers away... A few things to know before reading: 1. The story is set in a fictional world, so please don't nitpick the historical details. (Though I do nitpick them myself as I write...) 2. There is cross-dressing, but it won't make you think you're reading a straight romance... 3. Plot-driven, with slow-burn romance. Both couples are monogamous, and I guarantee a happy ending (smile.jpg). 4. Updates daily at 19:00 (I have a stockpile, so there will be daily updates). Other proofreading fixes will be irregular.
