Stealing Jade

My new novel, Who Knew the Powerful Minister Was a Woman, is now underway. You can go to the announcements and bookmark it~ Ji Mingyi transmigrates as the daughter of a merchant and a singing girl, and is married off to Lu Wan as his second wife. Lu Wan is handsome, refined, and gentle as jade. He's also the top graduate in the provincial examination: perfect in every way. His only flaw is his son, Lu Cheng, who is haughty, unruly, and untamed. Everyone expects Ji Mingyi to clash with her stepson after marrying into the Lu family, but instead, things go like this: "Jiu Lang, why are you squeezing so hard? You've crushed my bracelet." "Don't be angry, Ayi," the usually arrogant young man says with a good-natured smile. "I'll make you an even better one." "Don't call me Ayi," Ji Mingyi glares at him. "I'm your mother!" Lu Cheng grips her pale, delicate wrist and deliberately steps closer, his sturdy, powerful frame looming over her. He gives an inscrutable snort. "I have a mother of my own. You're only allowed to be my Ayi." Ji Mingyi: ...Everyone else transmigrates, so why do I seem to be the heroine of an erotic novel?! Later, she no longer has to worry about it. Someone burns her to death on the night Lu Wan passes the imperial exam and becomes the top scholar. When she wakes again, she has become Xu Yi, beloved daughter of the Duke of Jiang. Six years have passed since the day "Ji Mingyi" died. In those six years, Lu Wan became the second-ranked grand secretary, wielding absolute power.

Father and son now hold high positions and are both men of exceptional charm, yet neither has ever married. #Father and son, and also romantic rivals# #A battlefield of powerful men competing for the aloof father and son# [Individual Monologues] Everyone thinks Grand Secretary Lu is cool and self-possessed, but no one knows that he once held his little wife in his arms in a secret room, soothing her with tender insistence. He wiped away her tears with the soft pad of his finger and whispered, "Don't cry." - When Lu Cheng was thirteen, his father married a second wife. His feelings for "Ayi" went from being dazzled at first sight, to wariness, and finally to clinging to her with all his heart. No one knows the shameful secret hidden in the heart of the young Marquis of Wuling, who rose to success at an early age. On the night he first discovered desire, he couldn't bear to look too closely at the girl who entered his dreams. She was his first love, the one he could never forget, the one engraved on his heart and bones. [Notes] 1. The first male lead is unruly but pure-hearted; the second male lead is cool, self-possessed, and a gentleman. The heroine is adored by everyone and knows how to make people fall for her. 2. The leads only become intimate after they sever their family relationship. My new novel, Who Knew the Powerful Minister Was a Woman, is a harem of admirers story. Princesses, please bookmark it! Shen Qingyu transmigrates into a noble family. Unwilling to waste her life confined to the inner quarters, she disguises herself as a man and enters government through the imperial examinations. And so the Court of Judicial Review gains a brilliant investigator, Shen, the third-ranked graduate. At just eighteen, Shen is radiant and beautiful, and the slender waist beneath her official robes inspires endless speculation. Everyone says that if Lord Shen were a woman, she would be the most beautiful in the capital. Even as a man, Lord Shen is never short of admirers. The stable boy she saved has dark skin and a powerful, handsome build, and obeys only her. The refined, courteous new top scholar is her friend and fellow student. The two are often seen together. The current emperor's twin brother, the scheming Prince of Chu, considers Lord Shen his sole confidante and visits the Shen residence late at night. The handsome, sinister commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard is ruthless, yet once knelt in the street to kiss the back of Lord Shen's hand. Even the emperor, who never smiles and commands with great authority from his throne, repeatedly shows Lord Shen favor and trust. No matter what others do, Lord Shen remains as cool and pure as the plaque at the Court of Judicial Review, with its mirror held high, untouched by worldly dust. In the end, surrounded by admirers, Shen Qingyu grows into a powerful minister who dominates the court. Theme: We strive tirelessly for a better life
