After My Rich Boyfriend Betrayed Me

My new novel, The Princess Consort's Guide to Pampering, is updating now: a fussy, spoiled little minx x a cold and ferocious Demon King.

New novel blurb: As the most distinguished young lady in the capital, Ruan Zheng has cultivated her image as a beauty with a generous figure and a shallow mind to perfection.

Then one night, she dreams that the powerful Grand Princess is not her birth mother, and the heir to the Duke of the Southern Kingdom, whom she's about to marry, is a promiscuous womanizer who sleeps with both men and women.

Worse still, her future husband's family is ambitious despite lacking the means to back it up. After their rebellion fails, they offer her to the all-powerful Regent, and after one night of passion, she's sentenced to death.

Ruan Zheng thinks she died an ugly death in the dream and wants to find a powerful patron to cling to. But there are so many powerful people in the capital, and it's hard to choose. Just as she's getting overwhelmed by the options, one of them comes straight to her.

Feng Ying looks at her. "Is this one powerful enough for you?"

Ruan Zheng watches as the cold eunuch she's been currying favor with and running errands for over the past few months reveals his true identity overnight. He's none other than the Regent, the late emperor's favorite and the current emperor's older brother, a man with eyes and ears everywhere, whose power rules the court and whose name terrifies everyone. She suddenly wants to ask him: Was pretending to be a eunuch fun?

Novel blurb: At the scene of a car accident on an airport expressway, reporters are lined up and ready. Some media outlets have even dispatched helicopters to get the scoop.

One of the people involved in the accident is Jiang Chengyin, the real power behind Qinghai Group.

This distinguished, powerful man is said to be able to shake up the entertainment industry just by flicking ash from his cigarette. At this moment, he's kneeling on one knee in front of Song Yi, an unknown actress from somewhere below the thirty-sixth tier, carefully tending to...

Her scraped knee.

All while completely ignoring his own shirt, which is slowly soaking through with blood.

Cameras flash wildly. A headline is guaranteed. The whole city is in an uproar, and the internet is exploding.

Caught in the middle of this whirlwind, Song Yi leans in and whispers, "Um... Mr. Jiang, aren't you overdoing it a little?"

The man gives her a faint smile. "Sorry, I couldn't help myself."

Later:

Song Yi: Mr. Jiang, wasn't our agreement that this was a contractual marriage, with wages paid daily, just to appease our families? Are you planning to unilaterally break the contract?

Mr. Jiang: I think paying you daily is too much trouble, so I've decided to give you all my money.

Song Yi: But you have a little too much money. I can't carry it all.

Mr. Jiang: Then I'll throw in a little labor as a bonus.

He closes his book and raises an eyebrow at Song Yi. "Well, want to give it a try?"

Give it a try? Sure.

Then Song Yi discovers that this man is like strong liquor. He makes you... feel drunk.
