The Bandit Chief of Yanhui Mountain

This novel is complete. The next novel, The Mute Maid Turns the Tables, is available in the author's profile. Please give it some love.

Blurb:

The entanglements of their past and present lives eventually drag an abstinent spiritual master down into the mortal world. Whether he was the revered high priest of his previous life or the chuunibyou girl who teased cats and dogs in this one, in the end, they must both experience the love and heartbreak of mortal life.

Reader's Guide:

1. She lures a husband back to her mountain stronghold and only learns after consummating their marriage that he's her former-life mentor. Even more complicated, her former-life lover shows up and insists they rekindle their relationship.

2. Readers who prefer morally pure characters, beware!

3. If you don't like it, click away. Please don't compare it to other books.

The next novel, The Mute Maid Turns the Tables, coming soon:

An abstinent young master from a wealthy family meets a mute girl in trouble, and the iron tree that has stood barren for ten thousand years finally blooms.

The mute girl can keep the young master company as he studies and does the accounts, and she can spar and practice swordsmanship with him, but she has no sense of romance.

When the young master's flirtatious advances come her way, she bluntly writes “Men and women should keep their distance” and sticks it to his forehead.

The young master is forced to learn to serve tea, pour water, knead shoulders, and rub legs for his mute servant. He even picks up practical skills like warming her hands and heating her bed.

A princess fallen on hard times disguises herself as a mute and is sold by a matchmaker. She encounters love and begins a life of turning her fortunes around.
