The Emperor Wants to Nibble on the Grass Near His Nest

My new story, "Sai Sai Has Today," is now underway. You're welcome to show it some love!

Blurb:

A friendly warning: Not both protagonists are sexually inexperienced, so proceed with caution!

The young emperor of Xuanjing had a childhood friend, a little girl who was barely four when she left his side. She cried and begged him to stay, calling him "big brother," leaving him so worried he could hardly bear it.

The young emperor sighed, spending his days rubbing his hands together as he waited and yearned for the little girl to return.

A few years later, she came back all grown up, timid and disobedient, like a spoiled little weakling.

But the little weakling no longer remembered him. She spent her days looking over portraits of eligible young men sent by various families, sometimes furrowing her brow and sighing, sometimes beaming with delight.

The young emperor was vexed. He glanced at her several times, set down his memorial with a soft thump, and asked gloomily, "Have you found anyone you like?"

"I have, I have!"

The young woman nodded enthusiastically.

The young emperor narrowed his eyes slightly and asked in a low voice, "Who?"

"Your Majesty, what do you think of Yun Cheng?" The young woman lowered her head, looking almost shy.

"Yun Cheng is off fighting the enemy. He has no time for romance."

Huh?

The young woman asked, unwilling to give up, "What about Young Master Ning? Is he engaged?"

The young emperor sneered. "He will be soon!"

Warning: The leads are not both sexually inexperienced, and the male lead has a harem, but no children!

Alternate history + silly plot + no need to scrutinize the details

"Sai Sai Has Today," Blurb One:

Sai Sai has lived more than half her life, and the thing that still gets under her skin most is the shameless scoundrel Jiang Shen, whom she met when she was four.

Back then, she was a child prodigy who punched toddlers around town, kicked the little hens in the yard, and tore caterpillars in half. From the time they were little, Jiang Shen led her in stealing chickens, dogs, and scaling walls, as they gallivanted across the land.

He was a shameless little rascal in childhood, and by his teens, he had become a walking beast. Not only did he keep her from becoming a proper young lady, he also ruined her chances and scared away her admirers.

The first time Sai Sai received a confession, Jiang Shen ruined it. It was a graduation-season evening, and everyone had had a little to drink in the perfect karaoke atmosphere. Just as the mood turned intimate, Jiang Shen burst through the door, pale and looking distressed. He hesitated before saying, "Your dad's been badly hurt."

Sai Sai raced back in a flash, only to find her dad had cut his hand while chopping vegetables. He had a bandage on it and was playing with the dog.

To hell with you, you bastard!

Scene Two:

As an adult, Jiang Shen is charming and seductive, stealing a kiss, pinning her against the wall, and flirting with her. He not only goes out of his way to seduce Sai Sai, who's never dated anyone, but also leaves her drooling over his abs.

But Jiang Shen's habit of ruining her chances with other men hasn't changed. He uses the excuse of catching her cheating to sabotage her plans again and again, ruining her dinners and dates.

What a damn dog!

Sai Sai finally loses patience. She marches up to confront him, but instead he corners her against the wall.

Jiang Shen's nasty nature comes out. Licking his lips, he says, "Let's see what kind of wild man you like."

A wild... man?

Later, Sai Sai hides in her wild man's arms, blushing, as he boasts shamelessly, "I, Jiang Shen, am the most important man this woman will ever have in her life."

It's not a story about unrequited love, but about realizing your feelings only after the fact.
