Husband and Wife for a Day

My next book is The Emperor and His Beloved. Please add it to your collection on my profile.

Blurb: Taiyang first met Lu Xiu when she was eighteen.

It was a warm spring day, with a gentle breeze carrying the scent of jade. The handsome man before her, whose smile had already made him famous throughout the capital, lowered his eyes and said, "Greetings, Your Highness."

Taiyang kept him in her heart and put in a little effort to make him her lover.

There was no shortage of exceptional men around her, but only later did she realize that, of all the men in the world, she had chosen the one she should never have provoked.

The one she should never have touched, either.

Both leads are virgins, one-on-one romance, happy ending.

************** Blurb for The Emperor and His Beloved:

Qi Shuyan spent his days cultivating his body and mind in a Taoist temple. At eighteen, he ascended the throne and married Min Yu'er as his empress.

Rumor had it that the princess was delicate and beautiful, but had caused the deaths of both her previous husbands. She was practically Daji reborn.

Qi Shuyan and Min Yu'er became husband and wife, but their personalities didn't mesh, they had no shared interests, and they couldn't even agree on what to eat for dinner. Everyone waited with bated breath for them to split... but they couldn't?

Late at night in the palace, Qi Shuyan silently read from a book: "Let affection arise, but keep within the bounds of propriety. A virtuous man is above reproach..."

A lazy voice called out, "Qi~ Shu~yan, I'm exhausted."

"...I'll be right there."

Bonus scene:

Min Yu'er's definition of Qi Shuyan: a pillow.

On the first stormy night after she married him, she was so frightened that her eyes turned red. Half-asleep, she threw on her nightclothes and ran to Qi Shuyan's bedchamber, asking plaintively, "It's thundering. I'm scared. Can I sleep with you?"

Woken by her shaking him, Qi Shuyan's eyes were dark. After a long pause, he let out a sigh. "...Come on, then."

From then on, the man became her pillow, reserved for stormy nights. Handsome and affordable, too.

[Absolutely sweet and doting. Absolutely swoon-worthy.]

Thanks to my good friend Xian'er for the cover. Love you!
