Unmatched Beauty

[Please add my new historical romance, Rosebud, to your collection!] [A humble request to everyone who bought the full book: please leave a rating for the completed story. Thank you so much!] On the first day after Sui Sui woke up, she discovered that she had become someone else. She was eighteen, with an equally stunning face and a soft, fragrant, voluptuous body. At the same time, she was sent to a man's room. The man wore a perfectly tailored suit. His gaze was deep, his thin lips parted, and he coldly dropped three words: “No crying.” Sui Sui didn't understand what he meant. By the time she did, it was too late. All she could do was bite her lip timidly and beg for mercy. Many nights later, she would cry until her voice was hoarse. In her heart, she called out to everyone who had loved and cherished her in her previous life, but beside her there was only the demon-like Zilin. “Please stop.” “Are you going to run away again?” Sui Sui's little face was full of grievance, but she stubbornly managed to get one word out: “Yes.” Reader advisory: 1. The male lead is not your typical male lead. The heroine is soft and sweet at first, then becomes a wicked little minx. A whole crowd of male supporting characters are devoted to her. There is an entertainment-industry plot, and the story embraces wish fulfillment, melodrama, and clichéd Mary Sue tropes. 2. The setting is entirely fictional and has no connection to reality. All characters and backgrounds are made up. Please add my upcoming story Rosebud to your collection. It's the first story in my author's profile~ After a coup, Zhao Zhizhi, Lin'an's famous timid beauty, went from being an unloved concubine-born daughter in the prime minister's household to a lowly concubine in the Eastern Palace. She had no title or status and was there only to “learn the ways of the palace.” Rumor had it that the new crown prince was violent and unpredictable, like a demon from the purgatory of the asuras. Others said the new crown prince hated beautiful women, especially peerless beauties, and took pleasure in killing them with his own hands. After hearing this, Zhao Zhizhi was terrified. In tears, she entrusted her last words to a new “sister” she'd made in the Eastern Palace. “I... if I die... could you offer a bowl of cherry pastries for me every year?” The crown prince wore the robes he'd put on to entertain his parents. His dark eyes fixed on Zhao Zhizhi. After a long pause, he said in a husky voice, “Don't worry. You won't die.” * On the night Zhao Zhizhi was meant to attend the crown prince, he never came. Instead, a hundred bowls of cherry pastries arrived. The crown prince returned to the palace late at night after dealing with official matters and remembered the evening's appointment. “Has she gone to bed?” The eunuch replied, “Your Highness, Miss Zhao has been eating cherry pastries all night. She's still eating.” The crown prince frowned and muttered, “What a fool.” Half an hour later, the eunuch went to check the bedchamber and was astonished to find someone else inside. The crown prince, his hair styled in a woman's bun and adorned with phoenix hairpins, sat beside the young woman and wiped her mouth. “It's all right if you can't finish them. Your Highness won't blame you.” The young woman lowered her tear-filled eyes and hiccuped softly. “You're not the crown prince. How do you know he won't blame me?” * Everyone said Zhao Zhizhi was timid and weak, easy to bully. Until the day of the palace banquet, when the master of the Eastern Palace knelt before her, massaging her feet and putting on her boots. With reddened eyes, he gritted out, “If you don't pay attention to me, I'll leave the palace today and never come back.” Zhao Zhizhi turned away. “Hmph.” * Also known as The Proud, Arrogant Dog of a Man Who Begs for Love Every Day / I'm This Wonderful, How Can She Not Like Me?
