After I Was Betrothed to a Great Villain

My new novel, Beauty with a Jade in Her Bosom, is now updating. If you're interested, go check it out! Gu Qiqi had known since childhood that Long Shumo, the prime minister of the Great Sheng dynasty, was the most powerful minister in the land, and a refined scoundrel! He and her grandfather disagreed on politics, and he often made her grandfather so angry he coughed up blood. So she vowed that when she grew up, she would rid the people of this menace! And yet... that damned, foolish emperor actually arranged a marriage for her on the day of her coming-of-age ceremony! He wanted her to marry that wicked minister? What kind of joke was this? Fine! If you're bold enough to do that, then get ready for chaos! But... will someone tell her if this guy's lost his mind? Why has his personality suddenly changed? "Qiqi, if you're going to burn my study, remember to have someone take your picture books out first. Otherwise, you'll be upset when you can't find them." "Qiqi, my official robes are made from the finest silk. Next time, don't cut them up with scissors. It's easier to burn them." "Qiqi..." Can you shut up? How am I supposed to rid the people of this menace when you act like this?!

The next novel I'll be starting: Title: The Abandoned Wife Blurb: Jiang Zhilu's husband has been keeping a mistress behind her back. It wasn't originally such a big deal, just something that made her uncomfortable. After all, they had been childhood sweethearts, and he'd said she would be the only one in his life. But hearing him say to her face that he'd grown tired of her, then mock her with his mistress for being no fun in bed, was truly heartbreaking. After the mistress becomes pregnant, her husband's family welcomes her home with drums and fanfare, completely forgetting about Jiang Zhilu, the proper wife. Provoked by the concubine, her greedy, ignorant mother-in-law, her bullying, cowardly father-in-law, and her stubborn, self-important husband all reveal their true colors. If you have no love for me, then I'll leave. She has no desire to stay in this den of wolves, so she writes a divorce agreement and asks to leave. She sets up a small stall using a craft passed down in her family, but on the very first day a man latches onto her. He's two heads taller than she is, and clings to her, claiming his father doesn't love him, his mother doesn't care for him, and his brothers torment him every day. His big, damp eyes bewitch her into believing him, until he picks her up like a little chicken and holds her in his arms. She can only think, this is completely absurd. Is it too late to change her mind? The ministers notice that their emperor is always away from the palace. When they ask the servants attending him, they all look unwilling to say a word. One day, the prime minister hears his wife mention that a new sesame flatbread shop has opened at the end of the alley, but it's so busy she can never buy anything. Since court lets out early, he makes a special trip there. The flatbread is indeed fragrant and crisp, but can someone tell him who that man busily wiping tables nearby is? Why does he look so much like their emperor? Business at the flatbread shop keeps getting better, and Jiang Zhilu couldn't be happier. A certain emperor, however, is not so pleased. The eighth time he sees two ministers and three deputy ministers in the line, he finally loses it. That night, all the ministers gather for a secret discussion. The topic: How to subtly curry favor with the future empress without letting His Majesty find out! Modern novel coming soon: A Pearl in His Arms Qin Shangxia goes to the riverbank to look for inspiration. When he comes back, he's carrying a girl with a perm that looks like instant noodles. Faced with the astonished looks of everyone at his studio, he explains: "I saw this girl by the river and noticed her unusual bone structure and extraordinary talent. She's clearly perfect for voice acting, so I used my good looks to lure her here. Please take good care of her!" The other studio members respond: "Pah!" Looking at the girl in front of them, whose eyes are swollen like walnuts and whose voice sounds like a horror movie sound effect, all they can say is: What the heck do you mean, unusual bone structure? What the heck do you mean, extraordinary talent? Little sis, this place isn't for you. You'd be better off going back to smoking, drinking, and getting your hair permed! Everyone waits to see when Qin Shangxia will remember to send the girl away. Instead, she transforms into his personal disciple, using his name to swindle people wherever she goes, while Qin Shangxia protects her all the way. Then everyone waits to see when the girl will get bored and leave on her own. They wait and wait, until she becomes everyone's darling, then the queen of voice acting, and finally puts on a wedding dress and becomes their sister-in-law in front of the entire nation. From queen to the one and only queen of the king, only then do they realize: It turns out that someone really does have good taste. He tucked his precious pearl into his arms long ago.
