My next historical romance, "The Regent's Bewitching Favorite Concubine," is coming soon. Please add it to your favorites.
Zhu Luan was born into nobility, with radiant beauty and a face as bright as the moon, more lovely than a goddess.
In her previous life, countless men wanted to marry her.
But she fell for Lu Jin and gave him her heart.
She confessed her feelings, but the man coldly turned away with a flick of his sleeve, leaving her with one remark: "Princess, please show some self-respect."
From then on, her unattainable love became a scar.
A sudden upheaval turned the princess into a prisoner.
After everyone had abandoned her, the man who had once treated her coldly became the only one secretly supporting her.
The day she finally saw the light of day again and met him, she died in his arms.
Reborn, she decided that no matter how many cold remarks he made, she would never back down.
But this time, the man seemed different from the one she remembered.
Zhu Luan's medicine saved Lu Jin's mother.
At a spring banquet, they met beside Peach Creek.
Lu Jin said, "I don't want to owe you anything."
Zhu Luan pointed to the flower ornament that had fallen from her forehead. "Then why don't you paint a peach blossom on my forehead to replace it, my lord?"
Lu Jin did as she asked, taking up a cinnabar brush and leaning in to paint it for her.
Zhu Luan's heart pounded, and her cheeks flushed. Why was he so obedient?
The empress chose a husband for Zhu Luan, but didn't even consider Lu Jin, who had once rejected her.
Instead, she thought Yu Shangchen, the second son of the Duke of Fuguo, was an excellent choice: gentle and refined.
Before long, Lu Jin submitted a memorial impeaching Yu Shangchen.
The matter came to nothing.
Later, Zhu Luan asked Lu Jin whether he'd impeached Yu Shangchen for public or personal reasons.
"Because he was in the way of my marrying the princess," Lu Jin replied.
Zhu Luan blushed. "Y-You... are you serious?"
Lu Jin stared at her. "What else? Did the princess really think I painted that flower on your forehead just to repay a favor?"
Zhu Luan married him as she'd always hoped.
But no one thought the match would work.
Lu Jin was said to be "eloquent as a river, handsome as jade," but he was ruthless, cold, strict, and uninterested in women.
Such a beautiful woman as Princess Jiayi would surely be neglected by him.
Only Zhu Luan knew that in private, he held her close and coaxed her. "Let me hear you call me Brother Lanzhou."

"The Favorite Concubine Only Wants to Use the Prince"
After the Yan family of Chengyang fell from grace, Yanyan became a dancer at the Music and Dance Bureau.
With her breathtaking dancing and alluring beauty, she was the most exquisite plaything in the eyes of the powerful.
On the Regent Prince Mu Qi's birthday, Prince Huai gave her to Mu Qi as a birthday present.
That very day, Mu Qi made her put on a skimpy dancer's outfit and perform for him.
After the dance, he enjoyed his birthday present.
Later, Yanyan became Madam Yan of the Prince Regent's household, his favorite concubine.
She flattered and pleased Mu Qi, making him infatuated with her.
All she wanted was to coax Mu Qi into saving her younger sister and family.
Eventually, the entire Yan family of Chengyang was cleared of all charges.
Tired of winning his favor, she begged him to set her free.
The man's expression darkened as he stared at her. "You can leave, but first serve me one more time."
After that night, she gained her freedom and reunited with her family.
Her family started looking for a husband for her, but then they discovered she was pregnant.
Somehow, the news reached Mu Qi.
That night, Mu Qi burst into her room and advanced on her step by step, gritting his teeth. "You're carrying my child, and you still want to marry someone else?"
The hero's side:
The new emperor was still young, and Mu Qi was the Prince Regent, with power over the entire court.
Rumors said he was cruel and brutal. The nobles feared him, but still wanted to win him over.
Prince Huai sent Yanyan to him, hoping to use her beauty to confuse Mu Qi.
Everyone thought the beauty would be nothing but a decoration in the prince's residence, living a lonely life like the other women there.
There had once been a rumor that the Prince Regent avoided women because his ability to father children had been injured on the battlefield.
But after Yanyan entered the household, she was doted on constantly, completely disproving the rumor.
Mu Qi always thought he was only attracted to Yanyan's body and could keep a clear head about it.
Once he tired of her, he would send her away.
But he became more and more obsessed with her, and only when she left did he feel the pain of a broken heart.

"Peach Blossom Hues"
Shen Tangjun first met Chunchu at his maternal grandmother's home in the countryside.
At first sight, Shen Tangjun thought the girl was fair and delicate, with watery eyes and a quiet, gentle air. She looked like a well-behaved young lady.
She called him, "Brother Shen..."
Her voice was soft and sweet.
Later, his grandmother teased them with a smile. "Chunchu is such a lovely girl. She and my little Tang are a perfect match."
Shen Tangjun always remembered the way Chunchu's ears turned red, like peach blossoms. He thought the girl must have been embarrassed because his grandmother had hit the nail on the head. Could she really like him?
Chunchu came to the provincial capital for high school. She was a top student and a favorite of her teachers, while Shen Tangjun was the school bully everyone feared. They had nothing in common.
One day, Shen Tangjun playfully tested the waters with Chunchu.
"You don't have to take what Grandma said back then to heart."
Chunchu said, "Huh? What did she say? I don't remember."
A flash of disappointment crossed Shen Tangjun's eyes, but he still wasn't ready to give up. "Have you not been secretly in love with me all this time?"
Chunchu said, "Shen, do you really think every girl at school likes you?"
One day, Shen Tangjun cornered Chunchu in a narrow alley outside the school, trapping her between himself and the wall.
"Chunchu, you've let me misunderstand you for years about that. What do you think you should do?"
Chunchu was genuinely afraid Shen Tangjun might hit her, and shrank back. "What do you think I should do?"
"Kiss me once, and I'll let it go."
Chunchu: "..."
