New novel, My Cousin Has Her Eye on Me, now open for preorders. The blurb is at the very bottom.
Blurb 1 (complete)
The marriage between He Wei'an and He Niannian was born of a conspiracy, one masterminded by He Wei'an.
He was a poor newly appointed jinshi from a humble background, with no connections. He knew full well that if he wanted to establish himself in the tangled court, he would have to attach himself to someone powerful.
The He family was the high branch he had set his sights on. A prestigious family with a century of history in the capital, they were an upright scholarly clan with deep roots in the court. They could hardly have been a better choice for him.
At first, she had not been his target. Who could have guessed that luck would be on his side, and the concubine-born daughter would become the legitimate daughter?
Blurb 2
As He Wei'an rose step by step, eventually becoming an important minister in the Grand Secretariat, rumors in the capital that he planned to divorce his wife grew more and more frequent.
Everyone said that when the unscrupulous He Wei'an had been a nobody, he had sought the hand of a young lady from the He family solely for the power they held at the time.
Now He Wei'an had suddenly become a rising star at court, while the He family was gradually falling into decline. Naturally, this was the perfect time for him to divorce his wife and find another powerful family to attach himself to.
He Wei'an felt that lately, his mother-in-law had been looking at him more and more strangely, with a resentful air.
Then one day, he overheard people discussing rumors about him and his wife in a restaurant. He Wei'an stormed into the He residence, trying his best to hold back his anger as he asked in an even voice, "Mother, I heard... you're looking for a husband for Niannian? Do you think I'm dead?"
Looking at her son-in-law's face, dark enough to drip ink, Madam He nervously denied it three times. "I didn't. I haven't. How could I?"
He Wei'an suddenly grinned at her. "Good. Unless I die, Niannian will be my wife for the rest of her life."
Madam He quietly wiped the sweat from her brow and didn't dare say another word.

Jiang Pei'er was peerlessly beautiful, but she was an orphan living under her aunt's roof, and had spent years treading carefully. Recently, however, she had started provoking the cold and fearsome eldest young master of the household.
Everyone thought she had gone mad! The eldest young master was cruel and ruthless, and ever since he returned home crippled after being injured on the battlefield last month, his moods had become even more unpredictable.
Little did they know, Jiang Pei'er had only gone mad because she refused to be used as a pawn by her aunt and sent as a concubine to the lecherous commandery governor!
If she had to be someone's concubine either way, she might as well choose someone handsome!
On a lonely night, Jiang Pei'er clutched Tan Xuanping's injured leg and sobbed uncontrollably, her eyes stinging from the chili oil as she tenderly poured out her "love."
"Eldest Cousin, I truly want to take care of you."
"Take care of me?"
The beauty's clumsy seduction made Tan Xuanping, seated in his wheelchair, laugh, but he didn't expose her. "So, Pei'er, are you offering yourself to me?"
Remembering the two maids in his courtyard who had tried to get into his bed and been beaten to death, Jiang Pei'er shrank back and began to tremble. She wanted to retreat, but the governor's lecherous face flashed through her mind.
Her tear-filled eyes met his exquisitely beautiful features, and she instantly found her courage again. Gritting her teeth, she clung tightly to his leg and refused to let go.
Tan Xuanping lowered his gaze to those reddened eyes. Tsk, she did look quite pretty when she cried. Those captivating eyes would be even more interesting crying somewhere else, wouldn't they?

It was the story about the male protagonist's promotion that I thought was really beautiful and clever! Not cliché! A breath of fresh air! Although the heroine is not very smart, she has quite distinct advantages. First, she is not vain, she values character, talent and learning. She is gentle and considerate. Before getting married, she knew that her husband's family was not well off. She even tried to cover it up by delivering food on New Year's Eve. The overall feeling is very good. I like the male protagonist so much. Maybe his values have always been there. From the beginning, it can be seen that he is not a gentleman who follows the rules. He sells articles, designs to climb high branches, kills an eunuch, and cooperates with women from brothels. It is very resourceful to take the wrong side of the sword But he saved his friends and his wife and was very affectionate. Moreover, he is very considerate and meticulous. Even for a small matter like a nephew being beaten when he was a child, he will look at what happened next. In short, it's so beautiful Don't want some bad reviews to ruin this book... Plus Maybe I haven't read the male version, I think it's quite unique) Anyway, it's very beautiful
It's very interesting. I used to read Gong Douwen from a female perspective, but I didn't expect that the sweet story written from the male protagonist's point of view is also good, and it is also mixed with strategies. It's really refreshing.
Hahaha, my daughter was tricked by the same trick.
This novel reminds me of Mr. Yu Ge and Mrs. Yu in the TV series "Knowledge". I like this novel very much.
Dear author, can you tell me why the name of this book is called Nian Nian Xue Li? I really want to know. I feel that this book is quite related to me. I have seen this book many times before. At that time, I just thought the title sounded good. Then when I read the copy, I felt that it was not the type of novel I like. But when I saw this book many times, I saved it, and then I finished reading this book tonight. , When I read this copy, I felt that the male protagonist took advantage of the female protagonist, but in the end he will definitely love the female protagonist more than power. After reading this book and other book reviews, I will have some contradictions. For example, the new top scholar abandoned his wife, maybe to set up a foreshadowing, and the princess who was replaced. Of course, what I least expected was that the male protagonist's ambition would be so lofty. It was really unexpected. From Prince Chu to Xiao Tang to Xiao Rui, I think the male protagonist is really powerful, scheming and has the halo of the protagonist. After reading this book, I searched for the meaning of the four words "Nian Nian Xue Li", and the most common ones were Li Qingzhao's poems. If I think about it from another angle, this book is about He Yi'an's life. I will find it easier to understand each stage. At first, the female protagonist and the male protagonist just fell in love with each other, and later the two of them fell in love with each other. After going through many hardships together, and then having a moment of grace with the heroine in the career path of the hero, the heroine's nickname is Nian Nian, and the title of the book also has the word Nian Nian, but I feel that the hero is more important, and I can't get the heroine. In fact, I don't like the hero's back, but after reading it, I really feel a lot about myself. It's my first time to write a book review, and I don't understand it, but it's really good and worth reading!!! I hope the author can reply to me after seeing it!!!
It's so beautiful. Let's spread flowers.
Ning'er and the emperor are also very easy to get along with.
Not bad, not bad, very pretty
