The Feisty Big Sister Seeks a Husband in the 1980s

My new no-romance novel next door, Reborn, I Became a Master of Chinese Ceramics, is currently updating. Please add it to your reading list! The blurb is below.

Back when Chu Ping wasn't very bright, her parents arranged a marriage for her.

Her betrothed was a handsome young monk who had grown up in a county temple.

The young monk was called Ji Xiao. After their engagement, he changed day by day, and, miraculously, Chu Ping's foolishness was cured by this marriage meant to bring good fortune.

Once she was well, she grew clever, too. Then she happened upon an old family medical text left behind by her ancestors.

From then on, the once-simple girl had the confidence to fall in love with the young monk. She would no longer feel inferior because of who she was.

As for Ji Xiao, the young monk, he said he had never wanted anyone else since the moment he agreed to the engagement.

Childhood sweethearts are the best.

Really.

My next novel, Reborn, I Became a Master of Chinese Ceramics, is now underway. Please add it to your reading list!

At twenty-four, Kang Qian never dreamed he would be reborn in the body of an old man after dying.

The old man, Kang Qian, was seen as a disgrace by his sons. He had achieved nothing in his life and could only eke out his days on the charity of his eldest daughter.

Looking at his own rough, cracked hands, Kang Qian resolutely decided to continue the work he had pursued in his previous life.

He found an abandoned kiln and fired it up to make porcelain once more.

Just as Kang Qian's eldest daughter was hospitalized after her three unfilial brothers beat her for helping him, leaving her in desperate need of a large sum for medical bills, the decrepit old man whom everyone mocked as someone who only played with mud brought out an intact Ge kiln celadon vase. He sold it for a fortune, leaving that rabble red-faced.

And that vase went on to be showcased at the highest honor in the world of ceramics, the White Magnolia Ceramic Art Award, where it astounded everyone.

Kang Qian, now living as Kang Qian, became a sensation!

After that, Kang Qian appeared on CCTV and became an inheritor of the intangible cultural heritage of Song-style imperial kiln techniques!

He represented his country at the International Ceramic Art Expo, competing with porcelain enthusiasts from around the world!

He introduced dragon kilns and wood-fired ceramics to a wider audience, making them the ultimate standard for judging the quality of porcelain!

The person who had ruined his life and his grandfather's all those years ago showed up with an earnest, studious look, trying to cozy up to him and build a relationship, all to get the agency rights to his heirloom Ge kiln porcelain.

Kang Qian sneered. If I can't bring you down in this life, then I might as well not have come back.
