[My new novel, Trial Marriage Beauty, is now available. Add it to your library from my author page~] ***Blurb: In the second year after Gao Xi married into the Prince of Lanling's household, she met Zhao Chuo. When they first met, he was just an ordinary guard in the prince's household, respectfully addressing her as Princess Consort. Later, he saw all of Gao Xi's sorrow and disappointment. He pitied her and gave her all the deep affection in his heart. With Zhao Chuo by her side, Gao Xi finally felt that the long, dreary years in the prince's residence were a little easier to endure. - That day, in the third month, when the grasses were growing and birds sang in Jiangnan, he bid her farewell beneath a light rain of apricot blossoms. He tried his best to smile warmly, but her eyes still reddened. Because she knew in her heart that this parting would likely bring endless sorrow, separating them as far as heaven from earth, even in life and death. - Reading Notes: 1. BE!!! Both of the heroine's love stories end in tragedy. Angst, lots of angst, with a little sweetness. 2. Set in ancient times. The characters do not have advanced ideas beyond those of their era. 3. As the blurb says, the story is melodramatic and goes wherever it pleases. The reading experience may be extremely unpleasant, so please think carefully before diving in! [Important: Readers who insist on chaste characters, beware!!!] ***Blurb for the new serial, Trial Marriage Beauty: During the imperial selection of the Eight Banners, the Grand Empress Dowager feared that Wanqi would take the throne of empress from her grandniece. She arranged for Wanqi to become the trial-marriage companion of Princess Dunyuan. Poor Wanqi. She couldn't marry the emperor, her childhood sweetheart, and now she had to become someone else's concubine. That night, her "future prince consort" didn't even touch her. He left her with one sentence: "Tomorrow, tell the palace I'm impotent. As for how, figure that out yourself. In short, you have to help me get out of this marriage." Wanqi was timid. This was a serious crime against the emperor, and she didn't dare agree. As if he'd read her thoughts, the man raised an eyebrow and sneered. "If you don't agree, you don't need to wait for the emperor to have your head cut off. First, see if you can make it out of my general's residence alive." * Runzhou had sounded so tough then, not caring about Wanqi at all. Who could have guessed that before long, he'd be head over heels for her, as if she'd stolen his soul, always thinking about her and longing for her? When he heard that Wanqi was heartbroken over her old flame, the young emperor, Runzhou was consumed by jealousy. He strode off, the wind at his back, and flung open the door to Wanqi's room. The beauty inside was radiant, her eyes sparkling. She gave him a coquettish reproach. "What brings you here, my lord? You nearly frightened me with that entrance." At the sound of her voice, Runzhou's bluster vanished in an instant. Later, Runzhou achieved his ambition and rose to the highest ranks of the court. Wanqi stroked her gradually rounding belly, a pang of grievance rising in her heart. She pouted and said, "Your power grows by the day. I suppose there'll be no end of beauties at the general's residence. Will you forget about me and the baby?" "Don't be silly." Runzhou drew her into his arms and kissed her forehead. "There'll never be anyone but you." - ***If you like stories with more angst, you can also add The Marquis's Beloved Concubine and The Moon That Never Returns to your library from my author page~ (A little angst, happy ending.) - Theme: Life rarely goes as planned. We have to learn to accept what comes and face it.
