The Crown Prince Mistakes Me for His Betrothed

[Female General King x Sweet-on-the-Outside, Dark and Unhinged Crown Prince] The military situation in the north was dire, and my own cousin was on the brink of death. Yet His Highness the Crown Prince secretly kept me imprisoned in the capital. I escaped. Then I was caught again. I volunteered to defend the bitterly cold city of Wuyuan. Every secret letter I sent him before the city fell sank without a trace. I held out desperately for half a month with the soldiers and civilians, without a single reinforcement. On the day I died for my country, Youyang Yu, who was attending the grand selection of his consorts, never made it in time to see me. The enemy hung me high atop a flagpole, covered in blood and with my clothes in tatters. “Grandfather, the Yang family generals would rather die than become prisoners of war! Kill me! All members of the Red Plume Army, heed my command: after I die, avenge me!” I shouted with all my strength. An arrow marked with the Yang Army insignia pierced my young heart. I closed my eyes, relieved. The Crown Prince Youyang Yu, usually gentle and refined, brought the Black Armor Guards and forcibly stopped my coffin on its way west, insisting that it be opened for an examination. After seeing my corpse, Youyang Yu laughed and cried, seeming more demon than man. He slaughtered the nine branches of the Hongnong Yang clan and used their heads to consecrate his army's banner. Then he personally led his troops on a punitive expedition, wiping out the Bai Rong Di and Fuche kingdoms, sparing neither women nor children. In the years that followed, an ocean of longing broke the emperor's reason. The madness in his blood made him even more sinister and ruthless, ready to kill at any moment. Countless rivers of blood stained the golden jade tiles of the Great Rao court. The officials trembled in fear, barely clinging to life. - Epilogue. I was touring the newly opened Lilu Trade Route with my daughter when a man passing by, dressed in black and wearing a golden crown, seized my wrist. His embrace nearly suffocated me. His eyes were bloodshot, and his whole presence was dark and savage, yet he choked out, “Yang Qincheng, you deceived me again.” Reason for entering the competition: Though the female general is caught in the emperor's emotional entanglements and schemes, she still steadily seizes power and wins women across the realm a bright, expansive, and free future. Happy ending, both leads are each other's first and only. Enjoy without worry.

The last young goddess in the Divine Heavens vanished from everyone's sight, and the spiritual energy of the Nine Provinces dried up along with her. While all the immortals cursed Jingwu, her renowned former fiance, Yundang, who had taken charge of Yunmeng Marsh at a young age, let his new love, Jiuchan, stir up trouble everywhere and destroy temples. But before all that. After being framed and gravely wounded in her spirit, Jingwu had a dream. In it, she was a short-lived supporting character in a heroine's story, while Yundang and Jiuchan were the protagonists favored by Heaven's Will. Her sole purpose was to use her remaining divine power as a stepping stone for them to ascend to heaven. She crawled out of filthy blood and mud, abandoned all her divine power, and without hesitation fell to become a mountain spirit in the lower three realms. She traveled everywhere exorcising demons, but nearly died because she was not strong enough. Something older than her saved her, then tossed her a flimsy dress made of very little fabric. “I saved you. Put on this floral dress and show me.” “And those two eyesores, those filthy things, do you want me to deal with them for you?” His tone was feather-light. The filthy things he meant were the leader of Yunmeng Marsh, now the most powerful force in the world of spiritual cultivation, and his new love. The mountain spirit Ayu, who had lost all her divine power, slowly blinked. Oh, he's an old geezer. But an old geezer with mighty divine power whom no one would dare provoke. She gave a cool nod with her lovely face. The old geezer had peerless looks, a jade-like face, and raven hair. Following his heart, he waved his broad sleeve, and from that moment on, heaven and earth changed color for Ayu. His one condition was that she could never leave his side, not even for half a step. - One-line summary: I have enough divine power to overwhelm all three realms, but I love only you. Both leads are each other's first and only. 2024.07.17 Blurb screenshot saved. Upcoming Story 2: +++ “Becoming a Great Demon’s White Moonlight” Ancient Great Demon X Poor, Devoted Human Girl Xie Shaoyin was a country girl with a lovely face and a sweet voice. She had been bullied all her life because people believed she was born under an unlucky star. After her stepbrother left her behind and went to the capital, the villagers bullied her until she fell into the water. She came down with a high fever, and through the dreams she had while sick, she learned that she had transmigrated into a book as the white moonlight of a dark-hearted villainous great demon. She knew that if she followed the great demon, she would die a violent death within three years. But she had no other choice. If she did not leave soon, her cruel aunt and her family would sell her to a brothel madam to become a prostitute. Yin Ren, a great demon passing through the area with a bloodstained sword in hand, stopped for three days because of her. On the first day, when he saw her, she had just been bullied by a group of villagers. Disheveled, with a bruise at the corner of her mouth, she crouched beneath a parasol tree at the edge of the village, bandaging a stray little white dog and feeding it what little dry food she had left. Yin Ren touched his own wound and fell silent. On the second day, her warm hands pulled his bloodied wound toward her. She applied herbs to stop the bleeding, then tore a strip from her already threadbare clothes and tied it in a pretty bow. She hummed a little tune her mother had taught her before she died, her voice sweet and her melody soothing and gentle. On the third day, she clutched his hand tightly and pleaded with him in her hoarse, delicate voice to save her and take her with him. He asked in a hoarse voice: “I am a demon feared by all. Are you not afraid of me?” Her gaze was clear and her tone firm. “I'm not afraid.” “You saved me and kept others from bullying me, so you are my benefactor. Though you always threaten me with cold words, I only ask for a little protection. What does it matter whether you are human or demon? From now on, I'll do whatever you ask, benefactor. Just don't send me away. I'll follow you to heaven or hell.” He gave a cold laugh. He had never trusted the honeyed words of humans, so he shook off her hand and left. Halfway along the road, he heard those cruel, malicious villagers whispering about selling her, and in the end, he couldn't help turning back. “Human. Were your words true?” He left her behind and asked coldly, looking down at her. “I can swear in the name of Xie Shaoyin before the mountain god.” The girl's eyes were red, and she wept with joy. Xie Shaoyin was the name of the white moonlight. Her own name was Xie Yin, so whatever happened later had nothing to do with her. “Swearing before the mountain god is useless for a contract with me. You must swear before the demon god.” In the year 1,800 of the Demon Calendar, His Highness Yin Ren, young lord of the demon race, made a master-servant contract with the human girl Xie Shaoyin. From that day on, the servant would obey the master's commands. If His Highness Yin Ren died, the girl would die. The day she broke the contract, her remaining lifespan would be cut short, leaving her only a hundred days to live. “Only this kind of contract can put my mind at ease,” he said. Later. They traveled together across the lands of the Seven Provinces. His demonic power was immense, and he kept her safe all along the way. - Later still, he abandoned her. His childhood friend, Fox Third Lady, gravely wounded her and left her blind. On the eve of her wedding to her stepbrother, now a Vice Minister of War, she had lost all hope. Late at night. The great demon's terrifying power silently covered the entire manor. Everyone fell asleep. The Dream-Calling Bell by her bed rang. Her eyes tightly shut, her whole body trembling, she heard a cold voice behind her: “Yin, you broke your oath.” A chilly hand touched her forehead. His voice was right beside her: “Those who break their oath must go to the Underworld.” Both leads are each other's first and only. Enjoy without worry. Upcoming Story 3: “Star Stinger” Unlucky, Antisocial Female Planetary Assassin X Possessive, Obsessive, Unhinged Male Planetary Ruler In Star Era 488, tensions between the male and female planets grew increasingly fierce. The empress of the female planet dispatched a hundred highly trained royal assassins, with strict orders to ensure that Raman Percy, the most capable crown prince of the male planet, met a violent end. I, Ersha Halls, was forced to land on a remote, desolate planet at the edge of the male planet's star system when my spacecraft malfunctioned. The identity card I'd prepared in advance was completely destroyed, but when you're away from home, you can always make up your own identity. With no other choice, I pretended to be an antisocial citizen of the stars who had come to visit relatives. I claimed that my fiance was on the main planet. A handsome, gentle officer was seriously injured. I happened to save him, and he kindly offered to take me to the main planet to find someone. But later... After successfully carrying out my assassination, I got ready to leave. Before going, I took care to deceive the kind man so he would set off on his mission without worrying. The spacecraft carrying me away was targeted and locked onto halfway there by the kind man, who had returned with the most advanced starship fleet. “Get down.” “Come to my side.” I heard him threaten me like this. Then I saw him dressed in the golden-red robes only a crown prince could wear, white boots on his feet, walking toward me one step at a time. That's when I realized I'd been deceived. 20240717 Blurb screenshot saved.

He is ostentatious and frivolous, acting however he pleases without restraint. I've put up with him for a long time. The five-hundredth time he drank through the night until dawn, then swayed over and picked up his sword to chop off the few bamboo leaves I had left, I finally lost patience. I took human form and beat him up. After that, he stopped drinking and stopped acting mad. Every day, he showed me every kind of kindness in the bamboo grove, begging me to take human form.
