Adored, My Dearest

[Complete]

[Coming Next: Reborn, I Became the Empress]

Qingqing was born in a time of chaos. Her father was a provincial governor with a powerful army at his command, so she grew up cherished and doted on.

Then, in a single disastrous battle, her fortunes plummeted. She became a captive and was offered to Ji Xingyun, the enemy army's commander.

They said Ji Xingyun was cruel and sinister, a bloodthirsty man who killed without batting an eye. Every woman sent to his chambers was found the next morning with her neck snapped, her death a gruesome one...

That night, Qingqing clutched her quilt and trembled as she looked at the handsome man before her. Tears streamed down her face. "Just kill me!"

The man gave a cold laugh. Kill her? How could he bear to?

Ever since he saw her two years ago, her exquisite beauty had haunted his thoughts. She was so lovely that she had captured his heart, and he had longed for her day and night, unable to forget her.

In the end, not only did Qingqing's neck remain unbroken, but the man everyone feared treasured her above all else and pampered her to the very depths of his soul.

Reborn, I Became the Empress

Blurb:

Sheng Changle was born with an alluring charm and was the most beautiful woman in the capital. When her imperial cousin, the emperor, learned that Xu Mengzhou, the Grand Secretary, had long coveted her, he betrothed her to Xu. He promised that once the Xu family had been eliminated, he would bring her into the palace and make her empress, granting her wealth, glory, and unrivaled favor.

Sheng Changle naively believed that an emperor's word was his bond. She married into the Xu family and spent five years doing everything she could to make Xu Mengzhou love her so deeply that he would willingly give up everything for her. In the end, she helped the emperor trap him in the palace hall with no way out.

Xu Mengzhou fixed his bloodshot eyes on Changle. "After five years as husband and wife, did you ever have any feelings for me?"

Sheng Changle's face was beautiful and cold. "More than being the Grand Secretary's wife, I want to be empress."

Xu Mengzhou died pierced by a thousand arrows. As Sheng Changle waited for her imperial cousin to honor his promise, all she received was a cup of poisoned wine. She died in her prime, realizing only at the end how foolish she had been.

She returned to the day she was fifteen, when her imperial cousin had sweet-talked her into marrying Xu Mengzhou.

Sheng Changle smiled radiantly. "All right."

This time, to crush the despicable emperor beneath her feet, she urges her husband to seize the throne. Taking a different path, she rises from Grand Secretary's wife to empress, with all the wealth, glory, and supreme favor she could wish for, as well as a devoted husband who would give his heart and soul for her.

But later, as they lie together in bed, the man beside her suddenly asks gently, "Zhaozhao, didn't you say you'd rather be empress than the Grand Secretary's wife? Now that your wish has come true, do you have any feelings for me?"

Sheng Changle's mind explodes. The more she thinks about it, the more terrifying it seems... Just how deep has he been hiding his true nature?
